If you find any bugs in translation don't hesitate to post.

Could GoG license this translation for a new rerelease of Pyl?

Some time ago I asked them whether they would like to release some other game i translated. They said no problem if I got the rights for that game 😉

The case of Pył‚ seems to be funny as it appears the company that made it owns gog's owner for a year now 😉

But for now Pył‚ is not handled properly neither by gulikoza's patch (messed up textures), nor glidos (jerky mouse), nor nglide (too low view distance of enemies and objects and also lights shinning through walls), nor dosbox's wd/kekko's voodoo->opengl (damn slow lens effect of a scope mode - it can be turned of in game's config file but not for night mode). Actually even in plain dosbox sound breaks with this game with too low cycles. And not enough cycles may be the most important problem after all above are solved. Well maybe computers will handle it till the time above problems are solved 😉

nglide doesn't slow down with scope mode but it uses direct3d so that it is not useful i guess.

But I noticed that gulikoza's patched openglide doesn't slow down too. So maybe that could be useful?

No because it's using different techniques. But yeah i don't care much, it works pretty well and if speed is the only problem with that one game oh well.

I think JetFighter III and JetFighter Fullburn have the same speed problem when you have the sun on the screen.

"the same" is very unlikely. Pyl has general problems with the recompiler and does lfb readbacks, don't remember jetfighter, was certainly not unplayable.

My guess is that curves are being generated with too high precision (resolution), hence the slow down. Precision much higher than the monitor can display, so we don't actually see that quality.

My GPU usage is 12%, but i noticed a huge memory leak in the place from my second post's screenshot - when i am just standing there not even moving a mouse, there is a constant 3-4MB/s growth of pc memory usage and also a 3-4MB/s growth of graphics memory usage. I have PMed you a save.

What is Pył‚ Pyl Dust (or is it called 'Pyl Dust')? I've never heard of this game before, and can't find it on Gamefaqs, does it have a different name in English, and is it downloadable or still for sale? What is it, a first person shooter, and is it any good?

Polish name: Pył‚. The last symbol is the latin L with stroke, unicode 0142.
No english version was released.
So - EN aliases are Pyl (without the stroke) or Dust (name translation).

This is FPS. Very-very bad FPS. But - with the DOS glide support.

Oh right, thanks. It looks good from that screenshot, but since you say it's bad, and considering that if it was good then it would probably be a lot better known amongst us FPS fans, I don't think I'll bother trying to track it down.
