Help please, some questions...

Hi people !!!

I have some questions for ya...

1) Does GTA 3 has an OPENGL engine ? If it does, how do I use it ?
2) Tell me some old nice GLIDE games (up to 1999).
3) I'm having a problem with Quake 3 ARENA. Here it is:
When I ajust the graphics settings to Voodoo opengl, i can play, the image is fine, everything is right, BUT when I try to close the game, to get back to Windows, a strange thing happens, the credits images stays in the screen, and the mouse pointer doesn't move. The keyboard is useless. So the way to make the computer work again is pressing the power button to turn off ( TURN OFF CORRECTLY, NOT JUST POWER OFF ). I use a Voodoo 2 PCI1000 8MB with the Fast Voodoo 2 XP GE Drivers, with the correction. The Voodoo 2 is connected to a GF4, the GF4 is using the Detonator 45.23 WHQL Driver.

THANKS !

1)It seem yes, but I haven't deepen the point
2)
Motorhead
Need for Speed hot pursuit
Nintendo 64 emulator
Hitman
Lba
Nightmare creatures..And on and on..
3)the problem noticed by you is only with quake III?
Maybe you should try the legendgrafix.. (but I haven't tested this set yet..)

MaxFX · 14 January 2005, 02:13:47

Yes, it happens only with QUAKE 3...

Legendgrafix...what is this ?

Thanks !

Manuelson · 14 January 2005, 13:06:15

if it's only Quake 3 idon't suggest you to try legendgrafix..

Legendgrafix is a new set of driver for xp, released by geri, that allows voodoo2 to run also in direct 3d..
here for you a link..

...Quake3 a glide game?

hmm... that would have saved 3dfx

Manuelson · 14 January 2005, 17:00:52

I have included Quake III in my list because
1)MaxFx mentioned it
2)the "Voodoo Mode" is selectable..
3)It's very nice with a pair of voodoo2
Are you laughing of a mod? Is not funny..
obviously I ask you to delete/modify your post.

I wasn't, but now I do[:X] kisses
Ciao
oh, man Q3 wasn't voodoo friendly at all. (Supporting large and compressd textures, 16bit looking crap and all). You're better off with a GF2MX

...and you didn't even mentioned UT

Manuelson · 14 January 2005, 20:11:32

We have a professor here..what a privilege..
THEN: if you are so skilled, why you haven't replied to MaxFx?
Is always easy to criticate and laugh.. but when I aswer to any user, I'm not used to write thinking about mannerless users like you,that haven't nothing to do except wait for an error,an imprecision and laughing on..
I'll tell you again, delete/modify both your posts..
I Removed Quake III from the list,although with voodoo2 is nice..are you happy now?

Certain kind of people really doesn't know how to spend the time..

agrelaphon · 14 January 2005, 22:32:50

The fun was not your writing Q3 on the list, but your reaction, lol
Maybe you should delete your posts, they are offensive, although I'm against that alltogether. The hole world is watching[8D]

EDIT: Maybe we should put an end to it, mate

Ciao

Manuelson · 15 January 2005, 01:17:41

No,you should "put an end to it"..
You have began, You can end.. delete your posts and I'll do the same..
My posts are offensive?
Where?
I don't earn anything
I only help people
And all I'm asking is RESPECT
If you were not laughing of me, better for you to learn the correct use of the smilies.. (maybe also of the english)

your hole, maybe?

THIS is funny..!

MaxFX · 15 January 2005, 02:01:43

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA

What an interesting discution....but....this forum should be a place to learn...so "agrelaphon", if you CAN'T HELP, don's answer the topics, if you have question, ask, BUT ALWAYS with respect, because nobody here is earning anything to help the comunity !

This discution is useless....for all of us...

So please, i'm not a Admin. or Moderator, i'm a common member, so I do not have any HUGE power here....but this is all I ask !

BACK TO WHAT MATTERS !

Can I make Voodoo work in DIRECT3D and OPENGL too ? Or only in glide ?

What should I do to make it ?

THANKS !

Ok, guys, this is enough for now, that's becoming puerile.
A part of this topic is now off topic so keep "sticky" to the original question.
And thks to those who try to give answers.

Manuelson · 15 January 2005, 11:05:51

direct3d is possible at the moment only with the legendgrafix but i don't know anything else about it..I'll give a try soon..
opengl is already possible with fastvoodoo2 ;-)
You can also use mesaFx to run properly new opengl games..

QuoteGood buy

Good Shopping also to you agrelaphon..but..Christmas is over!

Nightbird · 15 January 2005, 11:58:02

D3D is possible with 2 or 3 drivers (if i include Legendgrafix) but with limitations.

OpenGl : 3dfxopengl icd, minigl, wickedgl and MesaFx.
