More Linux/Wine game fixes

Sudden Strike 3, GOG version 1.4


setup_sudden_strike_3_1.4_(13593).exe
Tested on: Ubuntu 18.4, Wine 3
Result: WORKS FINE, after (natively) using the DLLs GoG provided [I use q4wine to easily override the built-ins]
These 7 dlls are:
d3dx9_28.dll, d3dx9_31.dll, d3dx9_32.dll, OpenAL32.dll. mfc71u.dll, msvcp71.dll, msvcr71.dll
Without these last 3 substitutions the game won't go past the loading screen. (installs fine though, regardless)
Note that their WineTricks versions (in vcrun2003) didn't work! (I don't know why)

- My prefix already uses dotNet4.0 & directx_feb2010, vcrun6
- My laptop isn't built for gaming, so I'm assuming that the slowing down that happens with big battles and high resolutions isn't the game's fault.

The game isn't very popular and the community is very small in English speaking countries, so I was ready to give up after the frozen loading screen, especially with the result of the *only* test on WineHQ saying "Garbage. Doesn't Work"! I'm happy I didn't.

The 1st Harry Potter game:
The rendering is very choppy when using DirectX, so delete D3DDrv.dll and let the software renderer (SoftDrv.dll) do the job.

Darth Vader's Jewish Origin - The Golem of Star Wars

صورة
The design and concept of Darth Vader is partially based on Jewish myths and traditions. Many of Star Wars fans are already aware of the 3 lines of Hebrew letters that appear on the character's "Chest Plate", but here I'll provide more details on the "Jewish origin" of the infamous Dark Lord! Here you can see a close-up of the lines on Vader's breastplate from Return of the Jedi. The first & third lines are problematic and not easy to understand. אב מצש גלמציצ עד שלכה (Hebrew is written from right to left) The first line has 5 letters in two words.. apparently meaningless unless, with a bit of stretching it, we read it as (Father - Saturday) (AB - M Ts Sh) The third may be read as "till his cast down" (AD - Sh L K H) { שלכ sh-l-k = ‘cast off, throw down, cause to go’} The second line is the interesting one.. Written upside down.. It's more like a "label" than a part of a sentence, and the letters are: (G L M Ts
