V1000

I also had a brief chance to test the ATI CIF wrapper's DirectDraw functionality.

I modified enough of it to be compatible with RReady.

The implementation doesn't support most of the functionality needed for Myth:TFL and HG. Will test Interstate '76 at some point.

Missing exported functions.

Here you can research more directdraw to opengl wrappers some of them can be open sourced , and / or you can find more by googling or SOMEONE else place post more of what you know =)

Thanks Raven. I'll put some effort into it. Later.

Could someone with a V1000 post a quick video of a Formula 1 RRedline race with variable weather [Wet weather races]?

The mist trails the cars leave don't appear to render very well with RReady. It works just fine with dry or wet weather. Would be nice to know what the difference between wet and variable is.

I can debug this anyhow.

Ok, this is fixed. there's a related issue with Sub Culture. The mission selection/bounty screen some of the text appears truncated.

I'm pretty sure an actual Rendition board would render this correctly. Could someone check, if they've got the time and are in the right mood?

Tested the text on v2200 draws fully. not affected by overlapping by black background.
In some areas text gets a little edge distortions like checkered edges. but its rare case.

Thanks Raven!

RReady Alpha (untested) February 18, 2024

https://1drv.ms/u/s!As-dKk-N73dSl1MMo-Zu9Ad0nTvO
MD5: 5020f718e62159af805ca9bad5bc89b1

Texturing fixes
- scverite.exe - mission screen texture single pixel boundary rounding fixes
- f1red.exe - End credits - developer names having strange underlining
- f1red.exe - Car spray/mist trails sometimes becoming corrupted (mis-sized)

Adds
-Palette texture caching for (for paletted textures) for f1red.exe. Should allow for more consistent framerates.
Can be disabled with CachePalettes=0 in rendition.cfg.

Includes
- vh2.exe ,vq**ke 2 in-memory patching for (WhiteMagicRaven tweaks).

[EDIT]- Log file code internal changes. Shouldn't make a difference.

This will be tested and released to the stored in the coming weeks (sans the watermark).

******************************************************

****************************************************************************************
RReady alpha build February 19 2024 (Fully tested)
****************************************************************************************
- Texture seam fix for scverite.exe and f1red.exe. This is now a fix for the fix as the previous fix broke one of the RRedline demos.
- Support for vQuake 2/vHexen II in-memory patching. This should leave the original binaries unpatched. For Quake 2 you will still need a copy of ref_v1k
that supports native fullscreen modes. The fullscreen toggle happens before RReady loads and it has no control over the parent EXE at that point.

This will be available in the store shortly.

Another test for a V1000 and a V2x00 user:

This calls Int 10h 's Rendition call and Int21h [(EDIT] This should be Int 1Ah and not Int21h) function 0xB1 (AH) (which isn't documented anywhere). It's called from 32bit mode which switches back to 16 bit mode for this. Functions below 0x0B are time releated and 0x0B is an audio call. 0xB1 is a mystery.

As far as I can tell Int 21h is where the missing rendition board error pops up from.

done v2200 on

Thanks Raven!

And from a V1000 user would be useful.

Once more unto the breach from a V1000 user and a V2x00 user:

I've made a slight tweak to the parameters passed to the second INT call. The previous results will still be useful,

done

Thanks! A set from a V1k would be nice.

I'd do a test with F1 but I don't own that game (never cared for racing games). I could probably get a copy if you need. The listings for it are confusing to me but I think I know which disc is the correct one.

Thanks Agent!

F1 I think has a crash in the wrapper; the CD audio continues to play but because the game's crashed it won't switch out of Verite full screen mode. Actually that might be testable, I could exit full screen before unloading the redline.dll. You don't need to actually play F1 BTW. Just start up the game and wait for the demo starts up. I think this needs to be tested on a V1000 with regular drivers (not the F1 ones).

Your results for SetMode are very similar to Raven05's. The only difference is the CX register which for you returns 0xC002 and for Raven 0xC001.

Now to figure out how to override DOSbox's Int21h (PCI BIOS Query).
