Using Glide on SWAT4 might be possible...

[Chips]

Believe it or not, SWAT4 is based on the original Unreal Tournament engine.

So with this in mind, it may be possible to "unlock" the native glide renderer in the engine....if it is still there.

Being the busy person that I am, I had a quick go the other night, but hit several roadblocks.

First of all I replaced the section in swat4.ini which has:

Code Select Expand

[Engine.Engine]
UsePerforce=0
RenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice
AudioDevice=ALAudio.ALAudioSubsystem
;AudioDevice=XboxAudio.XboxAudioSubsystem
NetworkDevice=IpDrv.TcpNetDriver
DemoRecordingDevice=Engine.DemoRecDriver
Console=Engine.Console
Language=eng
GameEngine=SwatGame.SwatGameEngine
EditorEngine=Editor.EditorEngine
GUIController=SwatGui.SwatGuiController
DefaultGame=SwatGame.SwatGameInfo
DefaultServerGame=SwatGame.SwatGameInfo
ViewportManager=WinDrv.WindowsClient
Render=Render.Render
Input=Engine.Input
Canvas=Engine.Canvas
LevelInfoClass=class'Engine.LevelInfo'
RepoClassName=SwatGame.SwatRepo

with this one taken from my unreal tournament config:

Code Select Expand

[Engine.Engine]
GameRenderDevice=GlideDrv.GlideRenderDevice
AudioDevice=Galaxy.GalaxyAudioSubsystem
NetworkDevice=IpDrv.TcpNetDriver
DemoRecordingDevice=Engine.DemoRecDriver
Console=UTMenu.UTConsole
Language=int
GameEngine=Engine.GameEngine
EditorEngine=Editor.EditorEngine
WindowedRenderDevice=SoftDrv.SoftwareRenderDevice
RenderDevice=GlideDrv.GlideRenderDevice
DefaultGame=Botpack.DeathMatchPlus
DefaultServerGame=Botpack.DeathMatchPlus
ViewportManager=WinDrv.WindowsClient
Render=Render.Render
Input=Engine.Input
Canvas=Engine.Canvas
CdPath=D:
RunCount=145


heh heh....note the glide renderer change...and then copied this over from the unrealtournament.ini file...

Code Select Expand

[GlideDrv.GlideRenderDevice]
Translucency=True
VolumetricLighting=True
ShinySurfaces=True
Coronas=True
HighDetailActors=True
DetailBias=-1.500000
RefreshRate=60Hz
DetailTextures=True
FastUglyRefresh=False
ScreenSmoothing=True
Resolution=Default
DescFlags=1

Then, I hit an error because it was missing the glide driver, so I copied the GlideDrv.dll and the GlideDrv.int over but then the core.dll complained

So what I'm saying is if someone else can check it out and see if I'm missing something, you could get your name up in lights!!

I'll provide any Unreal Tournament files you need.
