Hey all,
I just fixed some bugs, some in the Culling system (now works ok), did some speed-ups and I need TESTS... Happy
I tested it on UT and Unreal and with the SDK demos, but I need the new LFB tests in RB3D and others as I know they are buggy... :p
Lets see what else can be done.

Ha ha! Very Happy I love it, I love it: started playing TR, and looks fine; then pressed ESC, and there's Lara upsidedown. Very Happy

I think this LFBlock stuff for reading is very close but not quite right.

I was testing before from the CVS copy. I don't think you've commited your latest change.

I tried downloading the prebuilt one, using the link that you gave us, but it's built funny. It is asking for some sort of C runtime dll that I don't have (and probably don't want Happy ).

I didn't get any new files when I updated this time, so I guess last time I must have not copied the freshly built Glide2x.dll to the right places.

Anyway, I did this time, and Lara is back up the right way.

There's still something not quite right. Some of the text in Red Baron has bits of characters missing, and one piece of text is sheared (like a very lent over italic). It is probably something like a mismatch when the changed area has an odd x size, and it gets copied to an area where the size has been rounded up or down to an even number.

It does seem to be faster; very much faster. You must have done something rather clever to get that sort of speed. I haven't had a chance to take a look at the changes yet. You also seem to be getting a better color match. Nice! Very nice!

Wow !! I'm impressed so far.


I have tested just a few games I had lying around.

Here is ManxTT, and this ran incredibly fast.

MDK, when you move and fire.
Note, character corruption, and the tiny map doesn't look right

Lastly, F1.
I thought I would post a small image like this, as it might make it easier to see the problem.

Games that didn't work

Pandemonium - Requires Glide.dll, looks as if it uses sst1init.dll

Shadows of the Empire - Seems to use 3dfx's DirectX drivers and Not Glide.

Outlaws - Appears to use a custom glide dll called Lecglide.dll

Overall, I was very impressed indeed.
Excellent job, GoldFinger.
The speed was insane.

I tried this new dll on GliDOS (just incase the Screamer games were better), and some games ran better. The screamer games are nearly there. Both games now, go fast, slow down, go fast, slow down, etc..

I'll do some more testing tomorrow.
I hope the mods don't mind the screenies ??

Lastly, How come this newer Glide2x requires MSVCR70.DLL ?

hummm, sorry about the DLL, I builded it with Visual Studio .NET I will see if I can remove such things.
Great shots, I will be fixing those strange behavior soon.

Don't appologise, I thought the progress you've made is great.

I found the missing dll in my Unreal Tournament 2003 folder, so I used that.

One thing I would love to be fixed, if you could, would be EnableMipmaps. This would then give a better overall image quality, but it's not too distracting.

I'll do a lot more testing in the next few hours, as I'm off for a few days and this will give me something to do Very Happy

Ok, some more testing.

Outlaws - Replaced Lecglide with a version that uses Glide2x.dll
It now works, but there are missing graphics, see pic.

Need for Speed 2 SE - Glide2x.dll caused an error in OpenGL32.dll

F-16 Fighting Falcon - Now goes further than any other wrapper. You can now get to the title screen, but as soon as you launch a game the screen goes black and thats it. But it doesn't lock the PC, as you can still alt+tab and end task.
This is the openglide log from F-16

ColorBits = 8
DepthBits = 16

This is Outlaws using the latest EVoodoo. But evoodoo's requirements are way too high for this game, as it runs about 5fps tops.
