Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that a rather OLD Video Card? I see 1999 popping up on Google searches for it. I have to wonder if it can support BZ2 if that's the case.
With a TNT2, you probably need to add "/nodxt" (without quotes) to the command line for bzone.exe. pb4 (when released) auto-detects such cards -- which are older than BZ2 -- and auto-handles them better.
-- GSH
it runs BZ2 on 1.2, since i played FE with him earlier today.
your solution is /nodxt :-)
yes, that worked. I played pb3 with him yesterday :)
On the whole computer?
If you drop the scrap too much for a modifyed scout. They can build a bunch of them and drive them to a training center and put pilots in them.
Scions as far as i know doesn't have a training center.
Becareful.
I have experience with scion pilots poppin out of the forge.
theres a 'hive' model you could use in ULER mod i believe. turn that into a training center
i play instant so its cool i can steal things to my hearts content hah.. so long as i dont turn into a bugger with them all
So if I make a Mod with only dxt textures, the /nodxt switch will be of little use to those with old video cards?
I don't really want to include the .pic versions as well as it will make the whole thing much larger.
I'm under the impression that it will work. It just won't generate the other mip maps based on the dxt textures.
/nodxt causes BZ2 to convert the DXT textures back to png/bmp/something so it is usable everywhere as I recall in pb4.
