That's just weird. I may have to just give you back your money and give up. You could try the DispHost.exe file I've attached below

But then you may not have actually seen what it looks like with bilinear interpolation. It seemed a big improvement to me.
Re: Does Descent 1 3dfx work with GliDos?
Posted on 2003-07-17, 07:51
I downloaded d1x143sc.tar.bz2 and it just worked for me. Not sure where I got it from. Don't think I had to patch Descent, because D1X doesn't use the original executable.

First we need to establish what it happening. How many different IDs are you getting, and under what circumstances? I don't understand when you say "apparently": you can run the Glidos server and click the GlidosID button to view it. Try that when on the net and off the net.

Is your GlidosID changing? There used to be a problem where going onto the internet or bringing up a local network caused the GlidosID to change.

What version of Glidos? What are the actions that lead to the crash? If you exit TR via the ring menus in the normal way, and then click the close icon top right of the Glidos server window, there should be no problem. Later versions of Glidos should be fairly happy even if you kill the server with …

The audio will be playable, but probably TR wont play it. If the TR CD isn't in the lowest-lettered removeable drive then TR seems to ignore the audio.

Do you know if you have working OpenGL on your system?

If you have the background sounds, forget SAPUCDEX. When you start TR under Glidos, for a few seconds you get a DOS box appear; does that show VDMSound starting? If you start a DOS box yourself and type DOSDRV, does VDMSound start?

I hadn't thought there was anything worth doing. It's a Windows executable so it isn't Glidos that you need. Its just the OpenGLide bit (GLide2x.dll). Craig made it work. On the other hand D1X works really well, so that's probably the best way to play it.

I have a a Dell Inspiron. Lovely bit of kit. 1920x1200? Wow! Mine's 1600x1200. I'll have a think about that. Glidos doesn't handle non-four-by-three resolutions properly, but maybe it could. Also 1920x1200 isn't a defined Glide resolution, but OpenGLide could have it added, I guess. Don't worry …

And the message should be taken literally: you don't have to put your TR CD in drive H; any CD whatsoever will do. But, on the other hand, I think TR will refuse to play the CD audio unless the CD is in the lowest CD drive, so no gain there.

The other thing I do sometimes is use Nero to make an image file and then use Nero's ImageDrive to make it look like a real CD, but then I can't get the background noises working.

Re: Blood sound stutters and no music

It may be that your legacy support pipes the audio from DOS into Windows, and that Glidos is stealing CPU from it. Does Blood have any setting for audio buffer sizes? Fiddling in that area might help. The lagginess is mysterious too. I haven't tried Blood under W98 for ages. I'll have a look when I …
Re: Threads in Picture (nVidia)
Posted on 2003-07-13, 22:53
Oh I see...The threads appear because of rounding error - the texture is probably supposed to end right at the edges of the polygons, but due to finite precision, it probably doesn't always turn out that way. Yes, but the game should set clamping mode rather than wrapping mode so that it doesn't …
Re: TOMB1 + VDM + Glidos = No Game Action Sounds

Have a look at HMISET.CFG. Its a text file. Perhaps the settings are getting messed up. When you run Glidos, can you see VDMSound start? Could you have TR installed in two different places?
