To GxpOGL I added the following, and I offer to add in MesaFX:
1. GL_SGIS/EXT_generate_mipmap - through gluBuild2DMipmaps.
  Realized and tested in RadeonAutoMipGen demo (ATI).
2. GL_NV_fence, GL_NV_pixel_data_range, GL_NV_vertex_array_range,
  GL_NV_vertex_array_range2 - fake extensions. Only empty functions.
  Realized and tested in learning_VAR demo (nVidia).
3. GL_SUN/EXT_multi_draw_arrays and GL_IBM_multimode_draw_arrays -
  implementation in documentation on opengl extensions.
4. Also realized GL_ARB_multisample through GL_3DFX_multisample.
  Also has corrected an error in GL_3DFX_tbuffer
  (glTBufferMask3DFX and glTbufferMask3DFX).

  I can give sources. e-mail: rbws@mail.ru

Hi and welcome to our community
As I said all skilled people are welcome to our team !!
Please send the source and a compiled dll to Amigamerlin@3dfxzone.it Send me too your icq or msn account if you have one.
Send the source to Dborca@3dfxzone.it and koolsmoky@3dfxzone.it and they will replay back very soon.
Thank you for your effort !!

Thanks to Daniel for the OpenGL work.

I have been playing 'Heavy Metal FAKK2' and discovered that
the 051e would just exit to the desktop.

The 051d works fine.

Just to let you know...

i tried Call of duty demo and dawnville demo, and the demo used to stutter a lot, since in the beginning there is a lot of explosions and gunfire....
i then both installed 0.51e (going up from 0.51d) and replaced my 2x pc133 128mb with 1x pc3200 512 mb.... and guess what??? run absolutely without stuttering.... never guessed that my voodoo5 wasnt a bottleneck...

rainbow,
    is this an addition to coulorless's gxpOGL addon?

[Rainbow]

bloodworm
yes

[bloodworm]

rainbow,
    is there somewhere that I can download the DLL?  I am running coulorless's gxpOGL right now in concert with the Mesa 5.1e and would love to see what these additions would do for NWN now with the new Mesa 5.1e that seems to be working great.

bloodworm
email me.
MesaFX - very perspective project.

Hello, everybody!

Back in business, heh!

PS: 0.51d is more stable than 0.51e because it uses C dispatch table, whereas the latter uses ASM dispatcher (a little bit faster, but somehow unstable).

PPS: I am not committing to the Mesa3d CVS because the guys moved Mesa from SourceForge to FreeDesktop and haven't set my developer account yet! The sources that are "mine only" will become available in the shortest time.

Neverwinter Nights didn't work right with MesaFX 5.1e and my Voodoo3, this time it boots but there a lot of white textures and isn't realy playable but is really fast.

Also I tested mesafx with GlExcess 1.1 and it has some small problems. The Waterfall is corrupted, works fine with 3dfxogl.

milan,
    I don't think that the V3 has enough memory for all of the textures the game uses especially in the menus and such.  also the game practically requires 32bit 3d and the v3 just dont do dat.

Daniel what you can say about !!

Amigamerlin,
           NWN + MESAGL5.1e works on a voodoo3[:X], but with the older, "original" glide.3x. It's very playable[:p], but sometimes it will exit to desktop[)]. The menus have many white textures[xx(]. That's all:)

Thanks for pointing that! I think I know what's the problem! Since I fixed Unreal by reverting the TMUs, some multitexturing modes ran amok (V2/3 multitex is differrent from Napalm). I'll try to fix them ASAP. Since Banshee has only one TMU, it's just normal to work!

OK,i`m glad for that

And for some bug report. I found strange thing. I have experimentally build latest from CVS with VTX-0-2 and with that build i`m able to run bloodrayne in OGL to the game menu. (with some errors of course ) but with 0.51e it crashes after i choose OGL renderer.

Hum... after everybody running amok about NeverWinterNights not running, I guess it's BloodRayne's turn.

Anyhow... to answer your question, I passed some bugfixes down to the Mesa-mailing lists, so there might be some possibilities the current CVS already has some fixes! If not, I'll fix the core myself as soon as I set up my devel account. There will be some driver updates, too!
