Hey I've set mipmaps to on in dgvoodoo but whenever I do the dynamic player lights (Lightstones/firebettle eyes/etc) break and turn into spotlights, below is the setting that causes this and a picture of the problem.

This is the setting

This is what my light sources look like

This is what it should look like, just a soft light around the character

If it works fine without forcing any texturing option but not otherwise then the rendering technique is probably incompatible with the forced textures (it's a known problem in other games).

But, regarding that this is an old game without advanced rendering techniques, and the light seems to be coming from a simple light map texture, it's strange a bit.
Since I cannot test this game, are you interested in making some graphics capture for me with RenderDoc if I give you dll's compatible with that? Then I could have a look into it.
