He dBorca I can't find the source from version H on sourceforge.net

And that file http://www.geocities.com/dborca/index.html?content=http%3A//www.geocities.com/dborca/mesa/mesa.html were can I set these Things. I think in the source but were is it. Or in the registry where I can not find it. I must be blind or stupid because I do not know what to do whith these things.

hmm..I have tried to run call of duty on a voodoo3,but the game fails to locate gl_ext_texture_compression_s3tc..it is possible to fake (or implement)it in mesafx (for voodoo3)..?
btw,I have found out what gives the worse quality I get with some aps and mesafx-when the application calls for PFD,mesafx returns (16,16,0)values.wickedgl returns (32,24,8)..dunno what it is..

try this addon to the 3dfx 761 ICD (since the ICD is still working BEFORE the mesaFX is called for) and combine it with the MesaFX as well.  

go HERE:

good luck.

Dborca I now know what to do with the registry settings but the source I can't find if they are out there?

They're not registry settings. They are environment variables.
Also, the "h" shource is not on SourceForge; and it's not gonna be there. Never ever! You can find 6.0 src, though...

I just tried out NWN with the MesaFX .051H and rainbow's oglGXP addon for the 761 ICD.  the setup "scan" and "test" now work beutifully!  I am still getting the white backgrounds on my text window and the inventory and character sheet type windows.  Maybe the oglGXP addon is the culprit?  I noticed the voodoo2 screenshoots and no white backgrounds?  maybe a 16bit vs. 32bit problem?  I will do more testing when I get home tonight!

Damn Why??? DBorca because you are still kicked out of SourceForge.
Or because you want to keep if for yourself??

Check SourceForge before speaking !
D. Borca is without doubt one of the persons who devotes most to the 3dfx Community so avoid attacks, really useless !

[samuraiboy]

we must thank daniel and not attack him negatively because if he quits contributing the 3dfx community will be soon out... so please help instead of saying something stupid...

[Rolo01]

I agree,
I saw this happen again and again, so think twice before attacking someone who contributes to the community or he will be pissed of and stop everything...
I am very thankfull that Daniel works on Mesa for Voodoos, he does it for free and in his spare time...
If he does not want to share the sources of 0.51h, he will have his reasons so just accept it...

perer, you little punk! WTF is your business if I want to keep it for myself? Yeah, I am greedy and want to keep everything for myself. How's that?

Primo: I am not kicked out of SourceForge. Either revise your language, or revise your ideas. I am still admin on Glide-SourceForge and devel on Mesa-SourceForge.

Secundo: SourceForge couldn't deliver the CVS services that were expected by people, so Mesa moved to FreeDesktop.org (and yes, I am devel on Mesa-FreeDesktop, too). That's the main reason for not updating sources on SourceForge.

Tertio: 0.51x releases use a pre-release 5.1 sources. They are not compatible with "official" 5.1 or any higher versions. The core Mesa is not bound to any hardware. I cannot afford to pollute the official sourcetree with old versions, just because "they work for 3dfx cards". OTOH, the current sourcetree (post 5.1) is actively maintained and compatible with 3dfx as well. It's just it is a bit slower due to new vertex code. Which is still yet to be optimized.

And last: I never said I won't give up my sources! I just said they will never make it into SourceForge, you snake!

So, I shall quote Lecram on this:
http://www.3dfxzone.it/enboard/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=371

Why the hell all threads on this forum (and other forums) must end up in any other place but the original idea proposed by the thread-starter?

EDIT: I calmed down, so I removed words like: "piece of sh!t", "worthless", "brainless muthaforka", "fûck"!

Sorry if people thought I was Attacking DBorca.
This was the same question but better sad.
But again I get why you don't release it now.

I will have to work with Mesafx 6.0 and have to build CVG in it ( I think it does not have it) Note that my goal is not to make something better than DBorca's one ( It would be stupid to do that, I apreciate Dborca's work). I am just seeking for opengl 1.5 support

Great!

I guess I had a bad morning, and lost my temper! I think you got the point!

Do you?

This is a wrong approach. Basically, Mesa does not have any CVG or H3 or H5 in it. It just makes calls into Glide3x. The Glide is the one that makes the difference in hardware. The public Glide3x API must be consistent across CVG, H3 and H5.

Note that my goal is not to make something better than DBorca's one ( It would be stupid to do that, I apreciate Dborca's work).

Well, but be my guest! I really need help. The last two wannabees that contacted me thought they were hotshots just because they had 3 years C/C++ experience and 7 years ASM experience. Yet they are still somewhere where is warm, while I am still in the cold, fighting the issues.

I am just seeking for opengl 1.5 support

Good luck, but you won't find it! Believe me! The total rasterization fallback paths are even slower than a regular SW driver (because the HW must sync between LFB accesses and 3D commands).

Looks like my bad habits combine with lecrams have rubed off on Daniel...that's too funny!

Quite tempermental[B)]

Look, I don't appreciate you posting a link to the other message board in which I shouldn't have even created that AmigaMerlin closed, that is just making things worse....I didn't take a liking to that and I making sure that I don't post like that anymore but if you are going to conduct yourself like this and drag ME into the situation (via the link) and ruffle my feathers inadvertanly, but non-the-less taking a shot at me I will act upon this as I deem necessary.

For now, I won't becuase it's a futile argument.

What's bugging you anyway, you sure seem to have a chip on your shoulder, I know not the place to discuss, but hey since every posting on this enitre site always gets hijacked purley becuase someone has to piss and moan (doesn't matter who is, arguing that is useless) why not air it out? I mean this thread is dead just like all the others that preceeded it.
