Re: Widescreen hack and some other fixes aka AiO Patch

I've hacked together another update, there was a funny glitch with multiplayer if the player had game minimized when the level transition happened. Again, only in fullscreen mode. There is also a new dedicated server launcher in the ZIP, it just keeps the server running if it crashes and suppresses ...

Re: Less FPS = more blood

CPU Grabber is quite ugly solution for slowing games down. It works by stressing CPU needlessly, so it runs hotter and wastes more power for nothing. We have these things called frame-rate limiters for such tasks. They usually work with everything that utilizes hardware acceleration for graphics. NV...

It's a bit obsolete though. There's been some development on the AiO Patch since.

Welp, I just can't make things too messy under normal circumstances.

Re: Less FPS = more blood

There looks to be 2 kinds of blood, the kind that disappears (more like shrink away) and the kind that stays permanently. There is much more of the latter at lower frame rates.

Less FPS = more blood

I messed with DOSBox a little during the holidays (SVN Daum build, it emulates Voodoo 1 graphics card), installed Windows 98 SE on it and Drakan. I think it pretty much worked as one would except on such hardware plus the slowness due to DOSBox being an emulator. One thing stood out though, there wa...

Re: Inventory ID Chart

Is this of any use? It's a Word document, not just an image.

Re: New forum style to try out & server upgrade

I've been mostly using WoW style ever since it's available and it's great, love Aero ones as well, especially the blue one. They all seem to look fine on mobile devices as well. Speaking of Aero, the author forgot about rounded corners for buttons. :)

Re: Widescreen hack and some other fixes aka AiO Patch

Right, forgot to rename it when I uploaded it to Google Drive. It's supposed to be 2.46. Renamed it now. With Google, the name of the file as it appears is independent of the name of the file you upload from your hard drive, unless you don't use versioning feature to keep the same link. If the ReadM...

Re: Widescreen hack and some other fixes aka AiO Patch

Just a minor aesthetic update for the editing tools. I've embedded manifest in executables that enables Visual Styles, so whole user interface appearance matches Windows theme, instead of current mostly retro appearance. Mostly because menus for example always look according to the theme, as well as...

Re: Widescreen hack and some other fixes aka AiO Patch

Damn, I forgot to test editor's 3D engine in model viewing mode, so I had to update it again. Only dinput.dll in Editor folder was modified, which is responsible for keeping CPU usage down when nothing is going on. So the current version is now 2.43.

Re: Widescreen hack and some other fixes aka AiO Patch

I get you on forgetting things about the main site. But hey, at least we have more up-to date information here on the forums. Well, now you can update the file again. :D I've put together another update, definitely last one this year. Here's the changelog and download : If game window doesn't have t...

Re: Widescreen hack and some other fixes aka AiO Patch

You actually did put direct link to it some time ago on the front page. It's in the side menu, in the section right below Active Clans, outdated now that you put new version up. I wouldn't mind the having the account, though there won't be any big news anymore since most major enhancements are alrea...

You forgot to update the link on the main page. Who knew I would upload so many revisions in the end. I keep finding things to improve.

Re: Widescreen hack and some other fixes aka AiO Patch

I've re-uploaded the patch today because there was an overlooked issue with multiplayer since the previous update on level transition if the game was in fullscreen mode and minimized. The whole point of the new patch was basically the fact that with the first one, needless calls were made to the ren...
