Oh, interesting. I don't think I was ever aware that it could handle 2048x2048.

Here is the message I previously sent to someone wishing to perform the conversion: Ok, you might not like this: the process involves several tools, with the setup performed under Windows and the main conversion under Linux. Perhaps the whole thing can be done under Windows, but I've never tried …

I'll post some instructions when I get a chance. The script alone doesn't do the whole job. You also need to use GenEquivMap to set things up.

The script, which is here http://download.glidos.net/TexConvert/, uses calls to ImageMagick commands to modify parts of the large squares. I'm not sure why what you have tried didn't work. Perhaps the new version of the file ended up in a different format. I think your best bet is to just test with …

Of course. Just good to hear from you.

Oh awesome. Nice to see you back, Kaminari.

I'm not aware of anyone having worked out how to hook alternative textures into those versions.

It's difficult to remember for sure, but I have some recollection of a 1024x1024 limit. I think best strategy is develop for Glidos with its 256x256 texture limit and let the conversion script handle the TombATI limit. I've remembered how to use the conversion script, by the way, confirmed also from …

Great to see you back, and awesome to think you might continue work on this. I have a ruby script that will convert a Glidos texture pack to one for TombATI. I don't remmember much about how it works, but at least I've managed to find it. I passed it to someone else, and explained in some detail how …
Re: Currently bad support in Glidos for high resolution & wide screen formats

Yeah, if you can get it going, vDos32 should be fast. It mostly doesn't emulate. It just runs the 32bit DOS code directly in Windows, and then interprets any DOS interrupts it runs into. On the other hand, it isn't much use for anything other than a few of the games supported by Glidos.
Re: Currently bad support in Glidos for high resolution & wide screen formats
Posted on 2021-03-29, 13:59
Oh. I think I created a new version that should activate, but pretty much vDos is dead: it requires operating-system features that don't exist in 64bit Windows. If you are running a 32bit OS, then you could try this version

Oops! I posted having read only the previous post and not the whole thread. It seems I solved the problem mentioned here some time a go, but didn't post about it in this thread. I'm pretty sure how it works now: if you select "Direct3D", "Inhibit mode change" and "Full Screen" then you'll get the …
Re: Currently bad support in Glidos for high resolution & wide screen formats
Posted on 2021-03-27, 16:11
Yes, that's the main advantage of TombATI. There's pretty much no way to make the DOS versions of Tomb Raider produce other than a 4x3 ratio image, and so the only two choices are stretching - which produces a short fat Lara - or have black bars at each side. I have fairly recently added support for …
Re: Glidos Direct3D Inhibit Mode Change issues
Posted on 2021-02-22, 15:24
Actually, I've just noticed it's a perfect square. I imagine what may be happening is that Glidos is trying to create a surface larger than is necessarily permitted under the DirectX9 API. Some drivers may allow it, others not. That's a guess, but a reasonable one. I can't remember if I pass errors …

The Audio pack works with only a particular version TOMB.EXE. Download and install this: http://download.glidos.net/TR1/TrAndUbForGlidos.exe, which provides the appropriate version. Then change the Glidos config to use that file. Don't alter the setting for the CD image.
Re: Cannot start Exteme Assault (Windows 10) - window immediately dissapears
Posted on 2020-08-04, 22:36
Ah sorry, I see what you were asking now. kjliew is right: it's the lack of VDM (although I didn't get the "API pass-through into WIN32 DLL" bit). Still Extreme Assault runs silky smooth on my Windows 10 based machine under DOSBox, so I'm not sure what's causing your problems.

Excellent. So, bottom row, second one along, you should select DOSBox in the top section

It seems to run very smoothly for me. You could try maybe posting images (use snipping tool) of each tab of your settings. I may be able to see something.

I just ran it under Windows 10. The problem may be the default config. Under the DOS tab, make sure you have DOSBox selected as the emulation and check "Enable Glidos'e VESA emulation.
Another Glidos release
Posted on 2020-08-01, 08:31
I broke something in the last release, so I've just uploaded 1.55 with a fix. For most use, it's best to select psVoodoo, Full screen and Inhibit mode change. That will ignore the resolution you select and use the largest 4x3 subarea of the screen that fits. That was the mode I'd broken, but it now …
