Problem with Duke Nukem Video

[justinblackler72]

hey peeps, a need a little help

Im here for my dedication to DN3D, I recently got it from a friend got JonoF's port and got it all working. Except one thing..

I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix my video so when i switch to 32bit polymost it dosent get all glitchty. The sprites and textures look great in the actual game, but the toolbar,weapons, and menu's are completely glitched and/or cant see them. I have a 3dfx video card.

thx..

[Ding Bat]

Not sure, but it's probably the 3dfxcard. Haven't they been dead for a couple years now?

[Plagman]

Your card is the problem, the engine doesn't quite support it perfectly.

[TerminX]

If by "a couple" you mean around 6, yes.

[justinblackler72]

actually it says I have a Voodoo4 4500 AGP..

[TerminX]

Yes, but all 3dfx cards are currently unsupported.

[justinblackler72]

is there any kind of fix i can do, without installing a whole different video card...

its a real shame too, everything looks great except the toolbar, weapon and menu..

the game itself is beautiful..

[TerminX]

Unfortunately, there's no way to fix it at this point in time. Suffice to say, coding for a broken, 6 year old OpenGL implementation isn't our top priority at the moment. I know someone who might be able to take a look at it in a few months, but there isn't anything we can do for you right now. Sorry man.

[justinblackler72]

^^word..

you should code it up though, right now, just for shits and giggles
then e-mail it too me

lmao... not

[Killd a ton]

voodoo extream has alot of ogl drivers fixes and hacks for voodoo card, one of them might help.

[Dr. Kill]

I have a 3DFX Voodoo 5 in my old pc. Got it for $40. Sadly, it's better than my current pc's video card. :(

[justinblackler72]

what video cards ARE compatible with JonoF Duke3d 32bit Polymost???

preferablly, what are the cheaper ones?

[TerminX]

Pretty much all NVIDIA cards and most ATI cards should work.

[Phayzon]

You can probably find a really cheap GeForce4 or FX to replace your 3Dfx. Though you might even consider a low-end GeForce6, since the 6600 and FX5500 are just about the same price (10 dollar difference or something like that).

[justinblackler72]

^^thanks guys..

is it a really complicated process to switch video cards(im computer helpless)

I have a friend who is pretty good with computer hardware, if its not 2 complicated a process I bet he could do it.

[justinblackler72]

my friend says he has a "NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200" that he can give me..

will this work?

[Plagman]

Totally. (Don't forget to download the latest drivers :))

[Tea Monster]

Rock and Roll Man! :-) We all need freinds like these.

I got a FX 5400 and it works like a charm so it shud defently work. But as Plagman says dl the latest drivers cos it fixes all problems :)

[Ding Bat]

I just bought a new video card!!! A GeForce 7800 gs oc overclocked.

Running Duke Classic, with the HRP, everything is Oky Doky. But when i run with the sd_duke, the HUD gets all screwed up in 16 & 32 bitpolymost, 8 bitpolymost is Ok and everything else is Oky Doky.

Any ideas or do i wait for this situation to be gotten to. Thats ok, no rush, i can wait. OHHH, screenie of the problem.

[Plagman]

Did you try deleting your "texcache" folder ?

[lycanox]

In your options menu there should be an option to control the size of the HUD. Are you sure that isn't somehow changed.

[TerminX]

Plagman's suggestion is the correct answer.

That did it guys, thank you very much.:)
