MesaFX

Ufff... how I can to fix the menu problem in NWN?... all appears in white (but buttons are visibles)

[milen]

Yes I have the same problem with NWN

[bloodworm]

I saw the same thing happening with either older 3dfx ICD's or older openGL32.dll from microsoft when I was experimenting on getting NWN to work with my V5 last year.  The game works fine but the menu backrounds are white (they should be black).  I finally got the game to run with win98se (xp would crash NWN to desktop randomly) and the 3dhq beta 10's with the 761 3dfx ICD and the openGL32.dll from microsoft but ONLY if you ran the desktop resolution a couple of notches higher than the game ran in.  The title screens would be all blank, but the game would come up fine (but SLOWWW).  Also the Menu backrounds were black.

Wow .... I'm using mesafx on quake II, quake 3 and Serius Sam SE... looks really god and have more speed.... even I can play Serius Sam SE at 1024x748 32 bits without low fps, before mesa I only can play Serius Sam at 800x600 and rans a little slow....

Great work Daniel!!

Okay, I'll release once a year, then! Is that ok with everybody?

Bugfixes, bugfixes, bugfixes...
However, you'll be waiting for 1.00 forever, since the next stable relase will be 0.60.
As far as I am concerned, you can put the DLL wherever you want; with the small note that it isn't in the game directory (or windoze standard DLL locations -- windows\system or winnt\system32) it won't work!

Might not be the best choice! You won't have texture compression.

I can't help you... It works for me! Hum, perhaps it's time to plug back my V3.
Yet I bet no one looked over http://www.geocities.com/dborca/mesa/mesafxev.txt, eh? That file isn't there for nothing! Toy with envvars a bit.

I tried FX_GLIDE_NUM_TMU, and set it '1'. It dosen't make any differenc. The strange thing is that NWN works with micosoft's software opengl that come with Windows XP, but is awfully slow. This opengl supports only 2 extensions.

Dborca, does Voodoo3 support cubemaping and if not is it possible to be faked by similar effect.

No Voodoo hardware can support cubemapping. There is a workaround for cubemapping, but I'm not sure it's worth it (if this means heavy changes to core Mesa, it won't be done).

I've just discovered MesaFX and I'd like to see what can do with my old system (K7 700 & Voodoo 3) and some games i've been unable to play, but i don't know who it works. Can somebody help me?

Thanks in advance
