Filling your balls meter

If you are attempting to speedrun Scarface: The World is Yours and have loads of enemies coming at you, specifically​ on the islands, hang back, crouch under something and wait for them all to come at you. Take as many chances as you can taunting and always aim for the head if not strafing.

Getting Scarface: The World is Yours to run on PC and stream ready (outdated, just download SilentPatch)

This is a comprehensive guide on how to get Scarface working on your PC and what my stream setup looks like. I can only attest this working on Windows 7 but the guide I borrowed this from says it will work on Windows 8, 8.1, and 10. It is not guaranteed to work and I am not responsible for any screw ups you do to your computer. I recommend reading the whole guide throughly to keep yourself from screwing up things.


First off, the issue with Scarface not running on anything other than XP has to do with how it renders pixels. Whatever plugins they used to code the game they are not liked by newer operating systems. The simple fix that we're going to implement here is Wine. For those familiar with Linux systems, you may have or already use Wine. Wine lets you use Windows applications under Linux based systems, but it just so happens that some plugins can be used to re-render Scarface on newer Windows operating systems.


The plugins we are using here are under the Wine D3D for Windows [Link](http://fdossena.com/?p=wined3d/index.frag). Essentially, they re-render Direct3D pixels through an OpenGL wrapper based on the Wine D3D that Linux uses, allowing us to play Scarface on our newer operating systems. 

So how do we get this working? We follow the steps listed below:

1. Make sure your Scarface is on Patch 1.00.2 before attempting these steps.


2. Download Wine D3D for Windows v1.6.2 - [Link](http://downloads.fdossena.com/Projects/WineD3D/Builds/WineD3DForWindows_1.6.2.zip)


3. Locate your Scarface directory (usually it's under c:\Program Files (x86)\Radical Games\Scarface\)


4. Copy the contents **d3d9.dll, libwine.dll, and wined3d.dll** to this directory (the same folder where the Scarface.exe is located). Be sure you do NOT copy the whole zip contents folder over. They have more plugins than what is needed and your game will just not work.

5. If you reached this step, attempt to start your game. If it works, you're golden. Otherwise, you may have to look into other methods such as 3Dripper - [Link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfBKrjacRSE)


If you reached this part and your game is running then you are good to go. If you want to stream this game, read more below.



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



If you thought getting this game to work on newer operating systems was bad, getting it to stream is probably worse. For starters, I've only managed to get OBS Classic to recognize a windowed mode of the game. Secondly, it tends to crash at random intervals later in the run, possibly due to memory or graphics overload, I'm not sure which. As such, I recommend saving often.


The first step to getting it streamable is we need to force the game into windowed mode. For this, I highly highly highly (say it with me) HIGHLY! recommend using DXWnd - [Link](https://sourceforge.net/projects/dxwnd/). This nifty program brute forces windowed mode on older games and is just overall pleasant to work with the interface. I actually use this program to force Stronghold Crusader and The Godfather as well, although the latter takes a little more work that I won't go into for this guide.


I'm not going to go into all the gritty details other than linking some settings and explaining a few things. 


To start off, we want to add Scarface as a game under DXWnd. File -> Import should load up a folder with a bunch of game names. You can find Scarface in this section. The other option is Edit -> Add to make a blank setting. Here you select your Name you want it to be called (irrelevant, but I call mine the exact game name for completeness sake) and select the Path and Launch .exe. These are still in the same folder as before (usually it's under c:\Program Files (x86)\Radical Games\Scarface\Scarface.exe). Make sure you link directly to the .exe in both Path and Launch. 


From here, there's a few different settings we can tinker with. Under the Main tab, which is where we choose Path and Launch, there is settings for resolution and windowed mode. Selecting "Run in Window" under Generic will force windowed mode and we can change the resolution under position. For instance, I stream my gameplay at 720p, so I set my W and H to 1280 and 720 respectively. With windowed mode selected and these numbers, Scarface will run at 1280x720 in a windowed mode.

[big]BIG IMPORTANT NOTE HERE - if you want OBS Classic to recognize the game in windowed mode, we can't use fullscreen borderless. In other words, your game screen can't be the same resolution as your monitor as modern games allow you to do this for alt-tabbing purposes. OBS Classic can't recognize Scarface in this manner which is why I personally prefer doing a 720p capture.[/big]


Most of the other settings in DXWnd are irrelevant for our situation as we mostly just want it to be recognized in OBS and playable. We have the window selection fixed to our liking, now we just need to make sure the mouse stays in the window. To do this, we go under the Input tab, look under Cursor Clipper (second on the left side) and make sure that it is in the ON position. This forces the mouse to stay within the windowed game window like a normal fullscreen game operates. 


Once you get your desired window settings and mouse not clipping out of the game window, you should be able to get it recognized in OBS Classic. The source we use here is Window Capture on a specific application. Simply boot your game up, alt tab, and change the settings to get it to show up in OBS. I'm not going to go into details on how to setup OBS as there are much more in depth guides but the simple way I do it is set my base resolution for the stream to my game resolution. This let's me "Fit to screen" on the window capture source and have a no black borders around my edges. 


If you got this far, and your game is working in windowed mode the way you like it and OBS is set up the way you like it, then you probably don't really need to read much further. Except one additional caveat - this game will crash on alt-tab with the Wine D3D and DXWnd method. I'm not exactly sure why but if you are the type of person to alt-tab a lot during gameplay, I recommend you SAVE OFTEN in game. If you are speedrunning this game, save after every mission to alleviate any potential issue with a crash.

SilentPatch

A few days ago I saw a video on YouTube that mentioned that there's finally a Silent Patch for this game, and it works very well! It's very easy to install and runs very well without any problems. This is probably the easiest way to get this game to run on modern hardware at the moment. You can also find the download in the 'Resources' section.

Strafing

If you let Tony run and strafe, he will dodge incoming bullets the majority of the time and will be able to fire back at all angles. This will easily build up your balls meter and you only need to use it if you are low on health or you're completely surrounded. Also, don't waste your time taunting if loads of enemies are around you, just strafe and run!
