Hello, Im an old school user of 3D-Studio.

Using Dosbox to run it, I can only get it to work in 65k colours.
Is there a way to get it to work in full 24-bit. Ive tryed dozens of options, Both in Vibcfg and Dosbox. I cant get it to work.

None of the VESA modes in Vibcfg work past 65K colours. All the resoulutions work.

Is there a tweek to get this to work in 16.7 milion, Or was I just waisting my time.

I downloaded a trial of 3DS-Max 2010, but Im too lazy to learn it yet.
Everything I do can be done in a DOS version, Which I almost know fairly well.

Can some one help me please 😀

Cheers
- Dan

Il get to this later

Have you tried Hal's megabuild for some of those extra video modes and chipset features? That's a good start.

Stock DOSbox probably doesn't have a lot of support for 24-bit modes I don't think. The only major game to use such color depth is Grand Theft Auto and even then it's quite unstable.

cheers for a responce 😀

ill have a look into Hal's Megabuild.

And im not keen to buy 3DS Max. And the trial dont last long enough to be worth learning. I only make simple objects, And timetimes vast sceans.

Thanks

Dunno if that's the issue but DOSBox only supports 32 bit per pixel, not 24.

1+1=10
