Re: Spinning logo always there

Hang on: you say unstable and crashing. Tell me more. Are there problems other than stalling in the FMVs and the logo in the first level?

The black screen is at the FMV stage and Glidos is not involved. It is likely to be an audio problem, although it is difficult to explain how you can have an audio problem if using VDMSound. It may be that the VDMSound hint dialog box is popping up behind another window. If so, you need to disable …

This Redbook support that you are thinking might go into VDMSound, wouldn't necessarily have to map the DOS side Redbook commands to Windows CD playing commands. It could just as easily map them to WAV playing commands. In fact, trivially, because Windows gives WAV and CD a common API. So you *could …

Yeh, no problem. If Vlad can make use of it, he's welcome. It is a very simplistic implementation, handling only the commands that TR uses, so it may leave a lot of work left to do.

The hard drive would do it. No problem: send me another unlock request

Hey magic! I'll have a look when I get a chance. If its the whole game playing slow rather than the frame rate being bad, then adding ControlJudderFix: 1 to the glidos.ini script for that game can help. The Glidos mouse driver is really very very simple, and is quite likely to work only with Descent …

Win98? Yeh, then it isn't the administrator business. One thing that I've run into before: if you copy your save games onto a CD and then back off onto your harddrive then they are Read-only and you cant save over them. Just a thought. There is something on Stella's site somewhere. I'll try to find …

Oh, I thought that was a splash screen between levels: I see that all the time.

I've heard of a save game problem with TR1, but I've never seem it myself. Apparently there are some hints as to how to avoid the problem on stella's site. http://tombraiders.net My guess is that it might be something to do with file access rights. Try using an administrator account. That's just a …

An email to payment@glidos.net is the best way to deal with this sort of problem. I know what's gone wrong and I have replied to one of your emails.

Yeh, nice piccies. Are you getting a useable frame rate? At the moment there are some fog commands that are being ignored. Sometime, I'll try to sort those out. It might make a big difference; certainly fog makes an enormous difference to Redguard. Eventually I might get the targetting working …

Redbook doesn't work for me either; I should have mention this in the installation instructrions to save you trying so hard to get it going. It is quite possible for the setup program to work and the game not to. I've had that happen before with another game. If you are using Windows NT/2000/XP then …

It works okay here. If you just unzipped the file quickly, maybe you ended up with the Glide2x.ovl file in a subfolder of your Glidos folder. The replacement Glide2x.ovl must be in the top level of your Glidos folder. Also you must start the game with the "Start game" button.

That's exactly what I'd expect with the old version of Glidos.ovl Maybe I uploaded the wrong thing. I'll experiment here.

No worries. I've just put the files in the "Files" forum.
Extreme Assault

Administrator: The files that were in this first post of the thread are no longer needed since v1.18 of Glidos, and have been removed. This is a zip file containing an updated version of the file Glide2x.ovl. Use this as a replacement for the original with Glidos v1.17 to make Extreme Assault work. …

It sort of works, provided you have grabbed a couple of updated files from the glidos smartgroup files area. The files are in a folder called "Extreme Assult". The frame rate isn't quite as good as in software mode, which is disappointing, but it does look very pretty and its playable. I had to hack …
Re: Speed hit from Joystick emulation, even when not in use
Posted on 2002-08-10, 10:34
That's strange. You wouldn't think that that could cause any noticeable resource useage, but it does. Running Descent II, there was a little hiccup in the graphics (possibly every 150ms actually), and Redguard just ran like treacle. It may be some sort of bad interaction with something in Glidos. I …
Re: Speed hit from Joystick emulation, even when not in use

Is that something you do from the launch pad? I haven't actually downloaded the launch pad, because for games run under Glidos, Glidos must launch the game. Perhaps I should have a look.
Speed hit from Joystick emulation, even when not in use
Posted on 2002-08-08, 03:09
Last night I noticed that games were running a bit slow and choppy through Glidos. After a while I remembered I'd been experimenting with VDMSound's joystick support. Since doing so, I'd disabled joystick support in the various games and unplugged the joystick itself from the computer, but I still …
