New DX8 Class - Come test it!

Recommended Posts

Well, finished up my new dx8 class using z-buffering and auto texture sizing. Once I make sure texture sizing works fine I'll be adding in autopurging textures.

Here's what it looks like.

Post your FPS. If you get some sort of rendering problems or a DX8 loading error (1 to 4) then post them.

Thanks,
Robin.

Well, your graphics card (I assume is onboard) just doesn't like my implementation of DX8 ;D

No idea about yours Pickle.

And yeah. As it's a class, it's completely modular so I made a small test programming to try it out before putting it into the EO client.

Always a good idea. Anyway I haven't had VB6 installed for a long time so there's no way I can mess with it really.

Probably, ran a test to see if I could run a 1999 game and it failed xD. I will try this on my moms computer later tho.

Ah, much more consistent. Jake tested it at work and it was also completely black on his work computer with onboard graphics. ;P
