It is quite an amazing game. Originally Glidos was written for Tomb Raider I only, just to stop that game from degrading as 3dfx cards died out.

Don't know about the 1024*768 option. I could try making OpenGlide report a later Glide version, and/or greater graphics memory, and that might make RB think that 1024*768 is okay. I'll give it a try some time.

Yeh, and I thought my web site sufficiently lacked that professional touch that people would realise it isn't a real company.

Wow, so that's why I got 6 times as many hits as usual.

Great! Sound problems fixed. I'll update the OpenGLid.INI file on my website. What's with the chat feature? I type and I get a flashing grey cursor; press and it goes away. But typing text in does nothing. Is this something I need to fix, or is it because I'm playing the demo in solo mode?

0x110 because TR uses it, and 0x111 because Archimedian Dynasty uses it. Actaully the 0x111 support is probably only in the copy I have here. I'll add modes as I come across games that need them. There may be problems with 256 color modes because I think the palette gets set up via IO ports, and I …

These sound problems. Might be worth editing the OpenGLid.INI file and changing the Wrapper Priority to 2. Let me know if it helps.

Thanks for all the tests. I can't keep up with you, but these results will sit here until I get time to look at each game. That screen mode fail thing may go away if you put Glidos into windowed mode. Actually I might upload a special test version for you sometime, that leaves the DOS Window open so …

I've looked at this game a bit, but I gave up when I found I couldn't make it work at all under XP/2000 because of VESA problems. However, now I have some sort of VESA support in Glidos, I can get the initial splash screen up in 2000, so there's hope again. I don't think the VESA support will work …

I've just uploaded another new version to www.glidos.net. The map and some text is working. I don't know the game very well so I can't test everything. You need to update both files.

Strange. There's an easy way to generate it. Put the Glide2x.dll file in the RB folder. Make sure there isn't an old OpenGLid.INI in that folder. Just delete it if there is. Run RB once in glide mode (the game will run in the bottom left hand corner of your display. Quit RB, and you will find a new …

Yeh, runs faster in the third-person view. I hadn't tried that before.

That's a shame; not producing piles of messages then. If that had been the cause of the slowness, it would have been easy to cure. I have a plan to speed up Glidos for all games, but its quite a big change, and will affect only Windows NT, 2000 and XP. Still, I might be able to speed this one up …

Looks lovely, except those yellow numbers are a bit disappointing. Any messages in the Glidos server window in all caps? I get Glidos to display the names of Glide commands that it is asked to perform but doesn't support. When there are a lot of them they can take longer to display than the actual …
Re: Does Descent 1 3dfx work with GliDos?
Posted on 2002-09-07, 17:47
Sounds like Glidos isn't doing a lot. What about if you don't have the Glidos server running, and you just double click the D1_3dfx file?
Re: RB3D works 99%

Don't use those settings with the new version. Grab both the Glide2x.dll and OpenGLid.INI off my website http://www.glidos.net and use them unchanged.

Not sure, but I think that when you do GldVESA.exe D2.exe then non of the VESA calls will get out to Windows. There are other ways for DOS programs to do graphics other than VESA of course, so it may have been Windows handling some non-VESA stuff.

I realised its D1. I said D2 folder, only because you quoted that as the path. About the mouse and joystick. Glidos's mouse support works only when Glidos is in fullscreen mode. VDMSound should provide Joystick support. Did you try any of the little test, I mentioned?
Re: RB3D works 99%

Fixed it... well mostly. There's a new Red Baron page on the Glidos web site. From there you can download a new version of Glide2x.dll and OpenGLid.INI (don't ignore the ini file). It should select the correct screen mode now, and the dropped textures and green flashes are gone. The menus still have …
