This is a stroke of luck.

I've downloaded 24MB of the 27MB demo, so I'm close to being able to take a look at RB myself, and see if its easy to finish the job off. Oh I wish we had broadband here!

😕

I tried the Glidos freeware version moved the dll file to RB root folder like Tany' suggested and got about the same results of missing terrain files and other aforementioned problems. But I am willing to try this again tonight at home PC.

Evoodoo I thought was going to be the the magic bullet for my P4 1.3 , WinMe & GeForce3 DDR

Ah heck maybe I need to use the warhammer again on the ol' PC 😉

Will let you all know how it works out, the software, not the hammer:P

TY again all - Have Fun!

Tried again both Glidos freeware and the Evoodoos 1.4a to 3.25.

As reported before close but still same type terrain file invisible errors for some tiles also noticed that full screen not present this time. Get a small window set to left of screen and rest of screen flashes pale green and black. Resolutions were set at 800x. What did come through were very high quality 3Dfx like effects 😀

A brave try good sirs by all here. 😀

Well back to the beers and some crate flying. 😉

Should there be a beta resolutiion I remain a volunteer. For what it is worth there are about 600+ at our Forum, Wings of Valor, these RB3D types that at least a fair % would pay for a wrapper sirs I wager, so not to tempt, but you sirs are the first to be close.

Skies be clear for you and your weapons never jam🆒

Hey, Thor, be sure to mention this forum to them! Make an announcement, create some noise, bla bla bla. You know.

Step 1: Do Publicity
Step 2: Get Others to Do Publicity
Step 3: ...
Step 4: Profit!

😁

Oh, and Paul, your download will majickally corrupt itself. Sorry about that. 😉

Actually I did experience "missing pieces" on both DLL's. They were worse with the eVoodoo but not so much that it impacted flying the plane. The framerate and texture issue had a direct impact.

Here's a link to a reference card http://www.wings-of-valor.org/files/documents/rbRefCard.pdf

Thanks alot for taking a look at the demo, hope you can work some magic (thats what it seems like to me anyway 🤣).

I know of three other forums where the wrapper is being discussed.

Please understand this. For Windows programs you do not use the complete Glidos system, just the file Glide2x.dll. This file has no copy protection. You can use it freely. So please use the latest version of Glidos, not the old freeware version that has a miles out of date Glide2x.dll. Otherewise I will have no idea whether you are telling me about existing problems or old cured ones.

Fixing the RB problems is not enhancing Glidos, but I'm interested to have a look. It would be nice to get this going.

Okay, I have the demo (squeezed it through my stupid modem over night). In 640x480 and 800x600, the plane sits nicely on the ground, but can somebody give me a quick lesson in the controls, save me exploring around the menus?

Understood.

Who is the author of the glide2x.dll? Could this person help us?

Tab will start the engine and I believe you can fly around using the arrow keys. I use a joystick. A couple of posts above this is a link with a pdf of the key commands.

I tested it with the dll. form glidos v1.18 dl from the gliodos site - hope that was the lates version and not the freeware one?

Guys, I didn't get any of the problems you are encountering.

I installed Red Baron under WinXP, installed the rb2_3d patch,
ran it to setup controls and video options.
Then tried the glide option and it worked.
No terrain problems, no interior plane problems, and I can see other planes.
A very rare green screen appeared every now and then, but it was rare.
When you hit escape, the menu text was in white and black boxes, but you could see movement to get back to the title screen.

Apart from that, I set the desktop to 800x600, and it ran beautifully in glorious glide.

If anyone wants a screen shot I'll fire up Hypersnap and take a few shots.

I'm using WinXP Pro, Geforce 4 Ti4600, 40.41 drivers, and these openglide settings

Configuration File for OpenGLide

Version=Version0.06b7

Cool Craig,

So this config. worked for your GeForce card and again this was the freeware dll file of Glidos?

TY - <g> I will try your settings for my GeForce3 DDR tonight after I get done here beating my head with ye ' ol' warhammer at work 🤣:D

Yep, exactly that.

If anyone wants a screenshot, I now have one taken with hypersnap.
I can't put one up as I don't have a website of my own.

It's 47k long and in Jpeg.

If somebody is willing to host screenshots, I'm willing to provide them, which will include POD, as I got that going as well.

You can add it as an attachment in your message. 47k sounds about right. Should keep the modem users happy. 😀

Ok, give that a try.
it's 47k.

Sweet <G>,

TY for the help. You da man!:D

I will post later about the results of Craig's approach here for my GeForce3 card.

BTW P4 1.3, OS WinMe, GeForce3 DDR, Santa Cruz

S!

Hey Craig, you seem to have fog. I don't have fog. I wonder why.

Also your settings don't work for me; I just get invalid memory
accesses.

Problems I can see.

* No text on the menu

* Some triangles don't render; always ones that partly go off screen either to one side or the bottom.

* Flashes of green; very strange; different shades.

I'm wondering if it's in the GFX card and the drivers used ?

I'll test the same game in WinME using the 30.82 drivers, and post my results here.

I'm primarily using XP to test most stuff as it doesn't lock it there is a problem, it merely gets stuck in a loop and only taskmanager can rescue that session.

WinME, always needs a reset as it locks solid.

Well, uh, everyone go out and buy a GeForce4 Ti4600! 😜 (Be sure to send one to me)
