WCP graphics improvement

About anti-whatever (small memory span) there is a way to activate it on a voodoo3 as it seams to be there however you need a tweaker program. Tomorrow I'll post what it is as I can't remember and I havn't got the location with me. But yes it is there sort of.

Can't wait to hear the results! :D Hope it works...
 
The Voodoo3's maximum color-depth is 16bpp.

You may be confused... 3DFX designed the Voodoo3 to process an image at 24bpp and then output it at 16. This results in a really good 16-bit image, not this mythical "22-bit" color-depth.

I don't have to check Tweak3D for that.
 
I downloaded a tweaker program, and set it to "Prettiest" level :) It HAS improved my Prophecy graphics a little...

FSAA, full screen anti aliasing. I think the voodoo 3 can handle that, but I'm not sure.

I got a Geforce 2 card, im not sure if it has those features, but if it does, can someone tell me how to activate this...if its not already...cant find this in th manul...:(
 
It should be a setting you turn on in your video control panel when you install the Detonator 3 drivers.
 
Btw, just got a driver that allows me to run SO in glide mode with my geoforce 2 card...:D
It allows me to enable fog...but what is exactly this fog effect? Cant see a difference...:(
 
Don't have fog myself, but isn't supposed to make large ships like the Midway fade away bit by bit when you're over 60000 away? As opposed to seeing it disappear into a black sheet.

Where did you get it? And could you tell me if there is something similiar for the GeForce1?
 
Oh, so fog is just that? Didnt noticed if it happens exactly though...

Mekt-Hakkikt, a friend sent it to me, its called Creative Unified Drivers...and for what i know its supposed to work for TNT cards, but it works with my geforce 2...could work with your card also, but im not sure...;)

Try the missions where you're in a Wasp, especially the CD1 Wasp missions. IIRC, you can fly back to the Midway manually without too much of a wait, and I believe the Midway should emerge from a black 'fog' as opposed to a black 'curtain'. Of course, that's just my expectation, dunno what the fog is really used for. I don't think you're flying in nebulas or anything like that, like Homeworld.
 
mekt, the prog will work on riva tnt2's but it runs glide about the same speed as a voodoo3 runs opengl in UT ie about 10fps :)
 
I noticed that the in game comm movies in SO look a little messed up, but no big deal...hope it doesnt do the same with WCP movie bettween missions...also Unreal Tournament works fine...but iwar dont...
Oh, btw the fog works...
