Matrox/PowerVR Drivers Coming as soon as We weed the bugs out. MMX and DrawPrimitive Drivers coming as soon as We take a Vacation. If you are a card manufacturer and would like us to build a driver interface to your card, please get in touch with us. Sorry for the mean neccessities for Software. I tried making the 3DFX VS Software as indistinguishable as possible, we are currently pumping 2k-5k On screen polys a second, all 16bit RGB textures/RGB Shaded, 32Bit Zbuffered, subPixel/Texel/Perspective correct, With 2-3 (And even 5x in portal scene) overdraw. Software is however (currently =) lacking Bilinear filtering and MipMapping. :ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ: FAQ: -What is needed to run this demo? For DOS software: P166, 20M (maybe 24?) RAM, smartdrv,VBE20 Drivers For WIN software: P166, 16M (But swap heaven) RAM, DirectX 3.0+ For DOS/WIN 3DFX: Any pentium. a 3DFX, Glide 2.3 and up. -Colors seem washed out on 3DFX Turn your monitor contrast all the way up, and your brightness to about 10%-30% -Why doesnt my soundcard work? If you are runing the dos version, make shure your sound cards IRQ is below 7. Unfortunately I could not link with Pmodew because of Glide. If you dont have a 3DFX card, you can always try linking with Pmodew. -What Keys are there during the demo During the actual demo, there are only 2. "P" takes a screenshot and "Q" quits. -Why do I get "VXD Version 1.2 expected, found 1.1" Your fxmemmap.vxd is outdated, get a new one from WWW.3DFX.COM -I have a voodoo rush, why wont it work? We included a glide2x.dll so that you wouldnt get a nasty DLL not found error if you didnt have a 3dfx. Make shure to erase this if you do have a 3dfx. -I have an S3 Video card, why are the colors messed up under windows? Unfortunately we currently only support 565 compatible drivers. So far, S3 drivers cards are the only ones to unfortunately have this bug. Im not sure if the DX5 drivers fix this. In either case, email me and as soon as I fix this, I will send you a patched up exe if you would like. -I downloaded DX5, but now all my Games and this demo locks up?! You probably have a GUS PnP (like me). Unfortunately, Gravis seems to really suck when it comes to driver support. Please Storm them with emails, and hopefully they will give you a better response than they gave me one month ago. -Any sekrit parts in the demo? Maybe =) :ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ: CREDITS: |Who | What | Where | When | +============+===========================+====================+======+ |Brian Cowan |Demo Code & Design, Meshes,| Guatemala |17Yrs | | (Vector) |'Art', 3D Engine, Frumple! |cowan@gold.guate.net| old | +------------+---------------------------+--------------------+------+ |Tim Wharton | 3D Engine, Frumple! | England |18Yrs | | (TimJ) | | tim@legend.co.uk | old | +------------+---------------------------+--------------------+------+ |Andy Carlson| Music | U.S.A |17Yrs | |(Leviathan) | | ac@interaccess.com | old | +------------+---------------------------+--------------------+------+ Sound System gratefully provided by the Sahara Surfers.
