Trying something to get rid of the Glide reversed element problem but I can't see if it works because all I get is the "glide int" error and a CTD.

I have two wrappers.

One named GlideWrapper084c.exe and the other is nGlide.exe

What am I doing wrong?

are they both installed at the same time? You'll want to use nGlide only.

The other glide wrapper you have there is: zeckensack's Glide wrapper from 2005.

I wouldn't use the old one at all, but if you have WinXP it may work for it okay.

No luck.

Uninstalled the Zachanstack version so there is only nGlide.

Do I have to activate the program before running EAW like I do with the d3d windower program?

The trick with nGlide is to have your "eaw.ini" set to 1024x768 and then use the resolution you really want in the nGlide config smile

Na, nothin'.

Set the ini to 1028 x 768 and I get an error that says my video card doesn't support that resolution.

The card is a built in Intel G31/G33 chipset.

Hi Ray.

EAW never liked Intel chip-sets.

Only ATI, or Nvidia were 100% compatible.

Might be worth spending a few bucks and get a cheap ATI card. wink

Definitely 1024x768 smile

Can you access the configurator?



The version to use is nGlide 1.04

Hi Ray,
right-click on your desktop and click 'properties'
then click the 'settings' tab.
Can your screen display 1024 x 768?

I don't think the intel chip matters if your using the nglide wrapper.

I don't know what yuor running for OS
I believe there's no win10 video drivers for it either.
I seen Win7 drivers, not sure about 8/8.1

Yes, it does support that display setting.

That is the screen I'm seeing upon activating nGlide.

FWIW, I run EAW through the d3d windower at 800 x 600 with no problem. Good color, no stuttering, just no fog.

What I forgot to mention is that I had this working last year when I built the hi-res Buffalo and the new PBY.

In fact, it was while building the PBY that I discovered that the problem is no too many elements with the -32768 value.

So I know I had it working.

Just re-visiting this comment. I had written "1024x768", but you typed "1028x768".
Was this a typo, or did you really set it to 1028x768.
If so the error message you got was entirely predictable.
What happens when your "eaw.ini" is set to 1024x768 ?

Are you on a PC or laptop?

800x600 is a very low setting for a modern'ish machine.

Just a typo.

It's a Dell Inspirion desktop. My flat screen crapped out a while back so I dusted off the old CRT that was in the attic. That's why I'm using 800 X 600.

Works fine for what I do and it's the display I was using when I discovered the -32768 value wasn't causing the reversed element problem.
