What are your blood .cfg video settings?
Your glidos.ini settings?
Your openglide.ini settings?
Are you using Glidos v1.19?
Are you using the Openglide that comes with v1.19?
Have you used all of the blood updates that Paul has posted so far?
Which ver of blood are you using again? (Probably already posted but I wanna get it all in one post)
What kind of vid card do you own? Which driver ver are you using?
What does your blood.bat look like?
What does your glidos.bat look like?

glidos.ini settings:

Are you using Glidos v1.19?
Yes
Are you using the Openglide that comes with v1.19?
0.07b3
Have you used all of the blood updates that Paul has posted so far?
both glide2x.dll and glide2x.ovl

Which ver of blood are you using again?
I have both 1.20 and 1.21 in different folders (they both look the same)

What kind of vid card do you own? Which driver ver are you using?
Nvidia Geforce2 Ti 64mb v3.15.0104 drivers compatible with 2000/XP

What does your blood.bat look like?
set BUILD_640X480=1
set BUILD_CONVTEXTURES=1
set BUILD_GAMMA=1
set BUILD_RESAMPLE=1
3dfx.exe

What does your glidos.bat look like?
DOSDRV
gldvesa.exe blood.bat

dosdrv keeps saying not found

So with Vesa Support disabled in Glidos.ini and using NOLFB you still get the same graphics problems?

Guys, I've sorted it.

Firstly, it seems it's not driver related. I tried all the latest Nvidia drivers and had the same results. But for what it's worth, I've settled for the new 31.50's for WinME.

The problem lies in the different glide2x.dll files out there, and the different Openglide.ini's.

You need to have the latest Glide2x.dll (116k), NOT the older openglide one thats around 92k.
Put this in your GliDOS folder and in your Windows/System folder.

Delete any Openglide.ini in the Glidos folder, and run glidos, then blood.

It should recreate a new openglide.ini based on the newer glide2x.dll.

Mine now looks like this

Configuration File for OpenGLide

Version=Version0.07b4

[Options]
EnableMMX=0
CreateWindow=0
InitFullScreen=0
EnableMipMaps=0
IgnorePaletteChange=0
EnableFog=1

EnablePaletteEXT=1
EnablePackedPixelsEXT=0
EnableVertexArrayEXT=0
EnableSecondaryColorEXT=0
EnableFogCoordEXT=1
TextureMemorySize=16
WrapperPriority=2
FrameBufferMemorySize=8

I haven't changed a thing, merely let glidos create this, and everything now works.
Resolution was 640x480 for all.
Also, if you want to play fullscreen, you have to change "InitFullScreen" to 1, and not in the glidos server.

Don't jump the gun. Here's a pic from the 1st part of the 1st level, right after opening the doors in the crypt. You can see the gravestone and the post near it clearly. There's still a problem with erasing and re-drawing on mine. Using the latest OpenGlide DLL. Closer to what it should be, though.

Hmmm, I don't see how it can be a video chipset issue. It works fine on my machine except of course for the vertical lines in the sky....

They *do* work, are you talking about in general, Paul ?

Look at this screen from the SETMAIN.EXE, then "Setup Mouse".

I mean, I want them to work with Glidos's mouse driver. Although your method has the advantage of working even when windowed, I still think my driver may be needed for XP and 2K.

Anyway, I've more or less sussed it now. Blood is using int 33h ax=5, and I can handle that fairly simply.

That's exactly how it look for me when I have the resolutions mismatched. Exactly.

Ah, you must have BUILD_640X480 set to 1. It doesn't mean what it says. It means use the value sin the cfg file.

Yes, I'm using the latest OpenGLide here. Sorry I should have said. I didn't think it was relevant.

Okay, so now what about the W2K problem?

Where did u get that 116k glide2x.dll can u attach it to ur next post

All links can be found in the

VOGONS > OpenGLide > Development forum.

Look under the bit with the Pics thread.

damn! that gid2x.dll didn't make any difference on my computer, it probably worked because of your specific graphics card,

I shall keep trying until it works

were do i get msvcr70.dll from? (i think its a directx file but im not sure) if its for directx i have directx9.0a beta test

MSVC**.DLL files are Microsoft Visual C runtime binaries. You need to download those from Microsoft's website.

well still doesnt work! but it was worth a try

That's the wrong OpenGlide. Get it from sourceforge. http://sourceforge.net/projects/openglide

That didnt work either, damn it!

There still seem to be various problems. In which
particular way is it not working for you?

Could someone please include what settings they're using in the Glidos.ini file to get this to work? And also their blood.bat file? Do I need NOLFB running? SAPUCDEX? I just can't seem to get it to run. I get the initialization infos, and with SAPUCDEX it finds the CD audio tracks (without SAPUCDEX it doesn't), but neither seems to work. I just get a blank screen with some grey boxes (which I think are from windows that are open in Windows).
