Alpha Ver. Without OpenGL Drivers
« on: November 02, 2004, 11:51:06 AM »
Jitspoe And Helpers

Can You Please Find A Way To Make Paintball2 playable Without OpenGL Drivers And It Will Make Paintball Life Better For Others Then Me.

Place New Textures And Skins And What Ever Is New In Paintball2 That Isnt In The Quake2 Version.

Im Sick Of The Quake2 Version That Is Stopping My FPS (Frames Per Second)

My Video Card Isnt Able To Run Paintball2 Because I Dont Have OpenGL Drivers For It, I Have Looked For Updates But Not Found.

Your Help Would Be Nice PLEASE

P.S. I Know I Have Every Word's First Letter Capitalized it Just Makes It Easier To Read And Its Just A Bad Habbit For Me From Jr.High School Typeing Class.

Termi: if you type in like allow_software 1 in the config file it will boot up in software mode however this is terribly slow.. if thats not the right cmd then look back in the previous news pages, may be in the build 9-8-7 feature list, not sure

Go and pick up a GeForce 2 for $30. That will give you superb Paintball 2 performance, at a visual quality that far exceeds anything you could get without OpenGL.

Also, capitalising the first letter doesn't make it easier to read; in fact, it makes it extremely difficult to read. Also, if someone passed you in a typing course, that is hilarious.

(Removed the dupe).

As Fryth pointed out, you can get a card for less than $40 which will run PB2 nicely.  Given the amount of time and effort it would take for me to develop a software renderer for the alpha, it would be more feasible for me to just buy you a new video card.

You may actually have a video card that supports OpenGL.  Right click on "my computer" go to "properties" then "hardware" then "device manager."  Click the
  • next to "Display Adaptors" and see what it says.  If it's ATI or nVidia, go to ati.com or nvidia.com and download the latest drivers.

Jitspoe,

I Have checked the ATI and other sites that carry updated drivers for my ATI Rage Pro II .... But i currently find none that work and can allow me to run OpenGL still

Could You Please make an alpha version that doesnt need OpenGL and can be used by any drivers? it will take time but i am willing to be patient for me be able not to get a Illegable Server Message from newer Funnames and the textures are excrement on quake2 ver. and just easier for me to do then to get money somehow and buy me a new video card.

PLEASE JITSPOE

Thankz

What os are you running?

NT:
http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=64722&start=10&len=10

98:
http://www.video-drivers.com/drivers/21/21383.htm

And if those don't work:
http://search.ebay.com/geforce

It would probably take me a couple of months to get the software renderer up to par... it's just not feasible right now, sorry.

Did you try the 98 driver?  That might work with ME...

It would really be faster for you to get a job, earn $40, and buy a GeForce card than wait for me to build a software mode.  Heck, you could probably make that much raking leaves. :)

NO! Making  a version with software rendering takes TONS of work, and would take a very long time. It won't happen anytime soon.

Er... what?  I'm not removing opengl support...  Also, why do you have a nocd crack for quake2?  After the first point release it quit requiring the CD.
