Mmmmm no no no no

This is the patch ONLY FOR who have a 3dfx graphic card......

Glide Wrapper is an emulation of this driver both for ATI and NVIDIA cards.....:D

Ive tried to use dgvoodoo before but without success, I eventually just went and used glidos which unfortunately leaves a large 3d glidos text on screen until it is bought...

I have One Unit Whole Blood successfully running with DGVoodoo 1.40 here. I will do some screenshots of my settings on the weekend to help out. Those settings may be not perfect but I found them by fiddling around a little bit.

It runs very well but occassionally it crashes to desktop. Maybe because it is Alpha state and maybe because it is not intended to run with Plasma Pak. Screen resolution seems to be limited to 800x600 and it looks blurry compared to the standard VESA mode but it looks still better and after a while you get acquainted to it.

Your mileage may vary.

What I did beforehand was to patch the 3dfx.exe with the CLI2NOP program and copy it into the OUW Blood folder.


Cheers

You place the unzipped DGVoodoo files into your blood directory. Then you start DGVoodooSetup.exe and make your changes. Those changes will be saved directly to the glide2.dll which is your 3dfx wrapper for the game and comes with the DGVoodoo file bundle. After you changed the settings you close DGVoodooSetup.exe and start the game in that order:

dosdrv (if you use VDMSound)
nolfb
3dfx.exe (with CLI2NOP patched version, I renamed it to 3dfxxp.exe to distinguish it from the original)

Best is to put it into a .BAT file. I will post my .BAT file on the weekend when I am at home.

Here are the screens for dgVoodoo with my settings for Blood. Please notice that I have chosen Platform: DOS in the first window and not Windows because it is a DOS game.

Additionally you could use these commands for starting the game. Save them into a .BAT file for example 3dfx.bat:

Code: Select all

@echo off
DOSDRV
nolfb.com
set BUILD_BRIGHTNESS=0.9
set BUILD_GAMMA=1.0
set BUILD_800X600=1
set BUILD_RESAMPLE=1
set BUILD_NOPAL=0
set BUILD_NOFOG=1
set BUILD_CONVTEXTURES=0
set BUILD_TRICOUNT=0
set BUILD_FPS=0
set BUILD_VERSION=1
set BUILD_MRED=200
set BUILD_MGREEN=200
set BUILD_MBLUE=255
pause
3dfx.exe
It's for 800x600 screen resolution. Delete the command 'DOSDRV' if you don't use VDMSound.
