Chicanery Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 Yeah... I'm trying to get it for the single player... Haven't even bothered running MP yet... Playing around with r_gamma has yielded some results, though the problem is I have to exit the game and reset it to use it. Oh well. -Chicanery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansolo Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 Chicanery- I just got done testing this on my machine. To get the default gamma, change the three variables so they read as follows: seta r_ext_gamma_control "1" seta r_ignorehwgamma "1" seta r_gamma "1" "1" is the default gamma setting for the game, but if you need it higher, try using 1.2 or some decimal. It seems to be in very fine increments. Another thing-- if you want to do it mid game, bring down the console by hitting shift+tilde, then type: r_gamma "whatever" After that, typing the command "vid_restart" will reload your current map with the new display variables. -ds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ready Wan Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 I just installed a v5 5500 into my wife's machine (a p3 450), and only allowed it to load the newest drivers 1.08.04 for win98 I was prepared to do the wickedgl tweak, but there is no need. It runs just fine...I see sky, am getting 33fps or so...pretty smooth considering.... Once in a while, when just spawning, it'll pause and freeze for a couple of seconds...but then it runs just fine. I dont know why I didnt need the wickedgl drivers...except that perhaps I'm only running win98 not SE, I didnt load ANY 3dfx drivers until I loaded the 1.08.04. has anyone else gotten their v5 running w/o the wickedgl drivers? one question: do you think the wickedgl drivers would help my fps? Like I said, I'm getting 33fps, down to 25fps or so with one other user in the game...resolution is 640 x 480.. ?? thank you RW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am downloading wickedgl and will try it myself.. i'll get back with results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ready Wan Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 Dan Solo--I loaded them and it does seem to run better than it did. thanks for the tip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoo5500 Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 Hi I notice everyone is worried about the sky textures but the question I have is which drivers are people using? Also if you don't use the Whicked version of the update and just input the open gl files can you change the screen resolutions? Thanks Voodoo5500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Child Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 well, I followed the step described above, and i couldnt get the wickedgl fix to work for Voodoo 3 2000. i know it hasn't worked because i do not get the "press C to continue" message on load up. does anyone know how to get it working with Voodoo3? or what might i be doing wrong? PLEASE HELP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Child Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 wickedGL DOES WORK!!! previously i had changed th JediOutcast.exe to quake3.exe, but that's the wrong .exe. jk2mp.exe and jk2sp.exe need to be changed to quake3.exe each... now i get skies and even the old scroll text in the start of single player - however, it's VERY blurry, but the menu screens and the save games are sorted! Does anyone know how to sharpen the famous scrolling text, or focus it, at the start of singleplay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightningBaron Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 instead of altering the games exe's u can add JK II into wicked gls game list, simply open its cfg (cant remeber its name) and under the line for hitman (if you want it in alphabetical order) add: "Jedi Knight II SP",jk2sp.exe, opengl32.dll "Jedi Knight II MP",jk2mp.exe, opengl32.dll and amazing, its in the wickedgl data base, anyway, i think the lines read like that, just copy the structure of everything else (dont have WGL handy at the mo so this was all off the top of my head) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gromas Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 I'm running Win98SE, x3dfx 1.08.04 , WickedGL drivers. I've renamed the .exes and what not, and I can get into the game. But as soon as I get to the menu in the it totally locks up. Any idea if there is a setting that needs to be changed elsewhere? This is my #6 at the Outcast LAN that's going on right now! Five computers at the LAN is such an odd numma. HELP!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicanery Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 Just wanted to thank everyone, especially DanSolo, for helpin' out with my gamma problems... It's fixed (still butt ugly compared to my buddy's Geforce3 sitting next to me), but it's playable. THANKS! -Chicanery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darth Massacator Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 That solution using the WickedGL drivers on JKII were right on the mark! I use the drivers for Tribes 2 and never bothered to think it'd work on other Q3-based engines. I had similiar problems that others have posted, such as lack of cutscenes, poor fps (granted I was somewhat expecting it being I'm using a V5500 agp), etc. At any rate, if anyone needs reassurance on using the Wicked GL drivers, my stats are (all drivers updated): PIII 700mhz SB Live V5500 AGP Latest 4-in-1 Via Drivers 512 ram Win '98 USR Ext. 5686 modem Edit: Forgot to mention I have turbo turned off in my CMOS. And if you still have doubt, I used the same tip on MOHAA and the game finally bloody rocks!! I can view cutscenes, and the option menus aren't a garbled mess.

TegSkywalker Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 I just found out the best way was to get a recent, up to date video card. I got sick of tooling with my Voodoo 3 back in the day to make certain games run. Buy a new video card, it will help you in the long run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erdrick Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 Thanks for the wickedgl tip guys....using a voodoo3/3000 and it works fine now, though words are still blurry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimChance Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 Well, No luck here. I did everything that was suggested here and no change. Downloaded WickedGL, change the cfg settings, pointed to the JKII directory and installed. Checked to make sure open32gl.dll file is in the proper directory(even copied into every directory. But NOTHING. Still blank screen on startup, and lockups on loading games. I've got a temporary workaround from another thread, so I can still play the game. But this fix didn't do anything for me? Athlon 1gHz Voodoo 5 256 kRAM Fortissimo II Sound Any ideas? Slim, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iggy2k Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 just want to say thanks to everyone who contributed to this wee voodoo faq. bought the game a couple of days ago and was quite upset to see what looked like the scrolling text through milk bottle bottoms hopefully once ive downed wicked and got ma x3dfx drivers i should be sorted and to think i nearly returned it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertroid Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 Try forcing the textures to 16 bits in the V5 advanced settings for OGL. That allowed the movies to play for me in MOHAA and JO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DhalgrenJedi Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 Just install the driver pack released by NuAngel. You can find them with google. They worked fine for my Voodoo 5. His drivers are based on WickedGL and the rare unreleased Voodoo 6 driver code. -- K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TYorke Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 Guys, I am not sure if you heard about this or not but there has been a GlideXP Project in the works since last year when Windows XP was released. http://nat.mine.nu:81/3dfx/glidexp/ The recommended setup is to install the original 3dfx Windows 2000 Drivers WHQL from http://www.voodoofiles.com, download GlideXP (it only comes with glide2x.dll and glide3x.dll) and copy and paste these files into your Windows\System32 directory. That's all there is to do, all your games will work with no problems. I run MoHAA and it works fine. Obviously it has some tears but maybe it is just my setup. You tweakers can probably make them disappear and if you do, give me a shout! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
