DXDLL 1.0 (not Geforce MX compatible)

[kegetys 2]

Here is the first version of DXDLL, with the following features:

- Reflective water

- Postprocessing effects (hard light, desaturation, glare)

- Forcing of trilinear filtering

- Screenshot saving, also with "No UI" feature

- "Black & White" night pixelshader effect override

- Mipmap LODbias adjustments, including an "UI Sharpen" option

- FPS meter & other stats

So far it seems to work fine on newer video cards, Geforce 3 cards seem to have problems with the water reflections however. Feedback on how it works on different card/driver combinations is welcomed to this thread.

feersum.endjinn: Please note that Geforce4MX and most Geforce 4 Go cards are technically GeForce2 cards and do not support pixel shaders, so postprocessing effects will not work on these cards. Reflection might work, but it's not guaranteed.

Version 1.96

Fault address: 0D2B07F0 01:0002F7F0 C:\WINDOWS\system32\d3d8.dll

Running on a Dell notebook with a 64MB Geforce Go 440.

Any suggestions? Anything I should try to disable/reduce? I've already tried disabling everything under the Configuator's GENERAL tab.

[bonko the sane 2]

eeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!

And for people interested, my performance hit was 5-10fps with Ti4200 and windows xp.

uhhhh, resolution. Your card doesn't support to much i'm affraid. Or am I wrong?

Running on a Dell notebook with a 64MB Geforce Go 440.

I'm not too sure what hardware capabilities Geforce Go series do have (traditionally they're less capable than their desktop cousins) but I'd try reducing resolution, 1600x1200 takes already quite a bite from video RAM and reflection/postprocessing effects might cause it to run out of memory.

Even if this has no chance to work on my now old system , i salute your awesome work Kegetys !!

Always impressive to see people breaking new grounds.

[kegetys 2]

For crashing, some hints on what might possibly be wrong can be found by enabling debug output, which can be captured with Debugview for example.

[Wilco 944]

Well, I love you Kegety.

Even if I can't use it because of my 32MB GeForce 2 card, Very nice job Kegety.

I might be blind or something, but I can't see the reflective water!

When I turn it off via the command, my FPS goes up, but the water doesn't change.

I have a 9500 Pro video card, hmm..

[Milkman 1]

I will try it with my 128mb Geforce4 4200.

*Prays I get more than 8 fps*

Thanks for the hard work Kegetys.

Post screenshots people. Screenshots.

Use Combat photo thread. Or this if Mods allow it.

I suppose this is a taste of OFP2 and how much I need to spend on a new VC

Yeah I can enable all the reflections on the Geforce 256, but it doesn't do much, all pixel shading options crash the game as they are not supported by the card. As expected, anyway great job.

Can't find any words.

Just awesome
