N64 Glide Plugin

[flow``]

*winks at fizban*

mind if i take one of those off your hands?

 

[Ogy]

w00t! ogy, do u collect old graphics boards or do they acutally all run in a system?

i colloect everything coumputer related, and except the V3 they are all on different systems, i could assemble a system for the V3 in about 2 sec though... i have cpu's, Mboards, sound cards.
but the reason i mainly collect voodoo's is because i like them so much... it's just like my fav sound card is SB16 so i have three.

and flow, sorry i'm very possessive

BTW we are getting off-topic... this is dave's plugin topic

Any programmers that wish to help develop Glide64, come to the Glide64 development channel on mIRC:

#Glide64 at DALnet

Glide64 is developed using MICROSOFT VISUAL C++ 6.0

My name on mIRC is CM256. I may not be at my computer at all times, so if you say something and I don't respond, just wait or try again later.

type !rules for development rules, and !list for my fserves (current source, plugin directory...)

 

[Dave2001]

Ok, I'm having trouble with the ul_s, ul_t, lr_s, and lr_t coordinates in settilesize.

For example
ul_s: 114
ul_t: 143
lr_s: 238
lr_t: 267

what would this represent? To my understanding it represents
(28,35) -> (59, 66) which are those coords divided by 4
which would be a 32x32 texture. Is this really what it means?

(off-topic) 2fast4u: I dont want to start a mess, but I agree with the sentence u made hihi =)

Davy.. not sure exactly why you're on efnet. but most (n64) emulator authors roam around Efnet..

flow`` on #tr #thecompany #PJ64Cheats #pj64 #nemu64 #emulation64 #apollo64 #1964

unless there's a reason you're on dalnet, might not hurt to hop on efnet sometime

Merf...
I'm on EFNEt sometimes but never on Dalnet
I'm always busy too, so I never get anything done, <sigh>. However I might just pop over to see what your rules are if I can remember too. Did I mention I'm busy AND FORGETFUL?

By the way I tested your plugin the other night, I was pretty impressed with how well things worked on SuperMario. I'm sure the difficulties will be getting other games because I know SM is the easiest to get working

[Dave2001]

Well, #Glide64 was originally a channel I just made up on dalnet to send my files to testers. I didn't know it was going to be a registered channel there, someone registered it for me. Maybe we can move it to efnet later.

Anyway, ignore the post for help earlier, I figured it out.

(btw, there is screenshot support now too )

 

[gokuss4]

does anyone know what the problem could be with this?

 

[Dave2001]

The texture stretch (to the right) is just because I haven't implemented scaling down textures to 256 pixels max.

I'm not sure how to fix the lines though :angry:. If any plugin author knows about how to fix these texture offset problems, please tell me.

 

[Dave2001]

Never mind, I figured it out, it was the same thing as the other offset problem. It has to do with bilinear filtering using .5 as the middle of a pixel. I had done this in 3d, but not 2d texrects.

 

[Smiff]

bloody hell Dave you really are f**ing good.

I remember saying something similar to a stranger called Jabo when his test plugin was released lol.

P.S. I'm not trying to shag you, don't worry.

 

[Smiff]

Actually after reading this thread Ive changed my mind, there is definately some alien technology here, no f**ing way could anyone go that fast.


lol

j64:

^ someone make a Glide64/Dave2001 version of that will you, we'll be needing it frequently. Unless they take him back to Venus.

hey smiff whats up i never seen you post in this topic before. in my opinion even if i did have a goforce 2 gts pro 64mb i'd say if i would compare mario 64 dave is the winner. but this is not competition i just wanted to post im bored

 

[Dave2001]

lol

 

[gokuss4]

lol

wow dave i never seen you post a laugh before cool.

Dave you don't need to scale the texture to 256 you need to break it into parts. that way you won't lose detail. I know the width is 320 pixels. If you do it as 2 parts of 160 pixels it will work and you won't lose any detail.:colgate:

cya,

[Dave2001]

Ok, I'll do that instead. Thanks . Someone earlier suggested that I use the frame buffer, but I think your idea is better since it allows for filtering also.

 

[conkerman]

sorta OT, but anyway...
hey dave, nice to see u progressing at such a fast rate. i kinda followed what smiff said and made a crappy little sign, just some good old editing of an existing one ( i'm not too talented at graphics editing).

enjoy what must have taken me 5 good minutes to do (hahaha)

[Dave2001]

Arrrgggghhhh!!!!! Why won't they do things consistently!?!?!!!!

Take two 32x32 textures:

One uses coordinates (0,0) -> (31,31)
the other uses coordinates (0,0) -> (32,32)

It's REALLY annoying, and making it very hard to keep both the sky problem in mario and the offset problem in the other games both working.
