1a. Yes, you now are licenced for all OSes that Glidos supports.

1b. The unlock service will allow you to unlock more than one computer. It's limited to initially 2, plus one is added each 6 months. But that isn't a hard limit. You can contact me at any time if you run out.

1c. I think that's the current state of the Direct3D mode at the moment. You may have to swap to OpenGL for that game.

Thank you for taking your time to answer my questions.

I have a two more questions if you have the time..

1a,

-Is there a possibility for a Direct3D fix in the near future? Is it being worked on?

1b,

-What number would you suggest I use under "PIT Timing" (Carmageddon) according to my system specs?

Thanks 😀 Sorry for my (if there is any) bad english and perhaps bad setup.
It's my third language.

1a Quite likely I think, but I'm not finding time to work on anything within Glidos just at the moment.

1b 2 usually works well. Can be worth trying 1.

2 worked very well 😀
Setting nr 1. gave me about 600 fps or so 😜

If you do not find time to work within glidos, please do not let it become another DNF 😀

Any chance for added 16:9 support in resolutions?
I know this is a far stretch, but it's a fair question 😀

On another note...Snowy levels kept crashing for me so I did the editing of ice.txt

But now, the pit stop level keeps crashing (hang) after about 2 minutes of play. Any tips?

Final question..
Are there any downloadable carmageddon texture packs out there?

Ps:

Ingame direct3d mode (triangles are gone) struggles with transparancy issues...but you probably already know that 😀

Thank you for your patience 😀
GliDOS is a masterpiece for sure.

Been trailing the net for solutions for years before I finally caved in and bought glidos.
I'm not a cheapshot, but I like to know about what alternatives are out there before I buy something.
Nothing even comes close to GliDos.
How you did it, only you know 😀

Changing PIT timing to a number larger then two made the crash come after about 15-20 minutes or so 😀

It's there to the degree it is possible. The games themselves produce the triangles to draw. Glidos just renders them. The games produce triangles for a 4:3 area. If you cut a 16:9 subarea out of that you lose important parts of the display. The only alternative is to produce black side bars, which is what you get if you select "Inhibit mode change"...

... hmmm, which is available only with Direct3D supported: ok I see your problem. I will need to look into the Direct3D problems.

These crashes are from the game itself. Nothing I can suggest really. I wasn't aware of problems with the pit stop levels. The program might be more stable running under DOSBox. You could try downloading my special version of DOSBox and then select that as the DOS emulation in Glidos's setup. But you might find that doesn't run as smoothly.

Final question..

Not that I know of. I'm not sure the feature build into Glidos works for Carmageddon. You could try setting the texture support to "Capture" and see if you get anything.

Ps:

To be honest, I wasn't aware of it being that bad. I do need to give it another look.

Thanks for your kind works. Good to know people are still finding it useful.

but even as one doesn't use the "Inhibit mode change" feature (I for one don't use it) it should always be possible to go 4:3 on 16:9 or 16:10 ie pillarboxed just by selecting the aspect ratio/no scaling option in the gfx card driver's control panel, ati or nvidia or whatever it is.

That's true...didn't think of that 😀

Isn't CD music supported by GLIDos?
I thought it was..
Control CD is checked but I get no music.
Playing the game through the "carma95" exceutable gives music though
