[furikao]

... hi, I try to play Warcraft III and looks great and great frame rate, but i a have a problem: i can't see the commands like "move", "atack", and the others.
Somebody could help me?, if there is a fix or something for this trouble, i try to use 3DAnalize, but it don't run.

hi furikao and welcome on 3dfxzone..
what kind of driver have you used?

Hi...
Well, this is a knowed problem in Warcraft 3 using banshee cards and is caused for the size of the textures (a bit large for banshee). Currently, I'm working in a fix for this game, in opengl mode using mesafx and his new impressive feature called MAXLOD (yes, warcraft 3 runs in opengl too).

Hi!, thanks for answer my question, well, I'm using Banshee Evolution Drivers, by Banshee Team, and with the "video test" of Warcraft III, I can run it in DX mode (60fps, 800*600) and Open GL mode(150 frame per second, 800*600), in the game I don't know how to change between this modes, I'd Like to play the game with OpenGL but i don't know how.
So... is for the large of the textures, thanks Raziel, I guess i need to waith for the fix for this game (the game is amazing!).
I thought that the problem was for the multitexturing... I guess i was wrong.
Well thanks anyway.

See you.

Thx to you...
Well, the fix is not ready yet, but you can test the opengl mode anyway...
I simple, you only need to add "-opengl" in the link.
Ex: "C:\Warcraft III\Warcraft III.exe" -opengl

Hi!, thanks for the tip about run it with OpenGl, I try to use this mode, and... is ironic 'cause now I can see the commands (move, patrol, and the others) y can see the little face of the heros... but the the game (I mean: all the 3D graphics like the textures of the map or the all the units of the humans, orcs, and the others) have problems and sees horrible, I don't understand the reasons, is upside-down than DX. And the frame rate is down.
I'm starting thinking that really I don't understand anything of this...
Anyway, thanks Raziel for the tips and for creating the drivers (and thanks to the others guys to, of course).
See you.

Hola, amigos!

I tried "War3 -opengl" this morning on my Napalm, disabling one TMU, with FX_GLIDE_NUM_TMU=1. The menu indeed looks horrible.
