Almost. Wrong blending is in the lift only. Lift glass must be fully transparent.
I have attached the fraps movie to show the effect exactly. http://www.4shared.com/video/9fh9A_78/Anox.html

IIRC you can't enter the bus to the Spaceport, Boots will say something about "I need my old friend".

thanks for the Doorlord fix, . Even after the amazing work done by Chinaman during his long solo effort that added so much to this wonderful game we still have a few spots that take work to get thru. I am replaying to see the side quest that you get when you choose the bot as a party member...the other side quest was wonderful and loved what you got to see. A truly remarkable job and Tom Hall has so much more to do and it is all planned out and scripted..just looking for a backer and publisher, and working with Square Enix to get them to particpate. One step at a time but at least we sill have Tom, even tho he had a stroke not too long ago ... so there is hope to see the story finish.

and i will try to conform where to find the tooth for you sorry to have not helped with that yet... too much going on .

ps: there is a bug on a quest early on you need to follow a guy to find eddie
you lose the quest on level transitions so you need to use a slowdown utility during that task

NGlide run Anachronox through the MetaGL. Install nGlide, run the file anox_v2v3.bat in the gamedir.
Metagl (trial version) is included with 1.02 build 44 patch. And with the GOG version, by the way.
The trouble is - no hi-res mode, because glide isn't supporting 1280x960 mode (gl_mode 8 ), only 1280x1024.
I will test the GOG version and will tell results.
*Censored*, my Anox saves are dead... 🙁

No, GOG version have the transparency glitch.
More places to see this: Mystech Museum (demonstration cases), bookstore in Tenements (front glass)
Plus it looks like there is no fog in museum with Radeon HD2600.

Which nGlide version did you use, Davros? IIRC this bug was fixed in 1.00.

OK years later i am trying to replay Anachronox and found that the GOG version is NOT fully patched and is missing stuff.

i hope to get it going once i find my own original disk.... but i see from old posts i will need to turn on extension limit...one way is to edit the dll but can anyone tell me what program to use to open it up to edit it?

here is the post about this from some years ago..wow how time flies..

Another method is - edit ref_gl.dll, find strings "GL_EXTENSIONS: %s" and replace "%s" to "%p". This is working for all Q1 and Q2 engine games, by the way.
