Aristotle's Mudlord & Rice Video

[Pyromanik]

I have rehosted the file, because those download sites are just bad for my mental health.

Sorry, I renamed the file a little to avoid FTP headaches.

Good to see there are still improvements being made
Especially since mudlord apparently quit.

How do I test it????

[mudlord88]

By downloading it.

Simple.

Aristotle: Any more ideas for what to fix. Redoing framebuffer emulation will be a doozy, just warning you (it really needs a hardware-based implementation using render to texture). Glad to hear you got those compiler bugs ironed out.

Pyromanik: Thanks for the mirror. I just can't seem to come across a nice web space hosting site, that doesn't have a file limit, or isn't crap. I'll continue to use the one I'm using, at least for now.

Mudlord: Currently, I'm still working on getting it to pre load all textures and work from there. Once I do that, I'll add it in as an option in the configuration dialog box, because not everyone will have enough memory to handle it, unless I do something about that too.. Framebuffer emulation..I took a look at the code for the plugin there...It's like hypnotic and confusing to the second power. XD I dunno about that one. Certainly won't be anytime soon.

And yes, I got it to compel, and without any warnings. Over 40 function calls had to be updated, and a library was overlooked; was supposed to be excluded from the linking. That I included in the recent version of the source.

As for things to fix, not going to tackle that yet. Totally focusing on full texture pre-loading and caching. Then I want to fix things like Mario Kart race results, and most game's with their LOD problems, which I think I have hunch on how to solve that problem..

awesome work

also if you have a live account you could use http://skydrive.live.com to host the files, as there is a 50mb limit per file and you can link to one location for all of the revisions as you can link to a single directory housing all of the files.

WOW! Merry Christmas!!! Where have I been?! I am sooo thrilled to see you are having success with RV and esp with the texture caching!!!

I think Turok 1 has LOD issues too. I will retexture it some day if it gets fixed.

I am in a hurry, but I am going to DL and try to try (IT) now.

I wonder if a new name for the plugin is in order?

Sweet!!!

TTYL,

I just gave it a quick try before I go for a family party...

I get "failed to load plugin.... ....RiceVideoStable.dll"

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jay

BTW: THANK YOU GUYS!!!

You have to place the two DLL files, that are in the folder named 'Emulator Directory' and place them in the director with the main emulator files, not the plugin directory.

A new name? Perhaps later. Dunno what I'd change it too. XD Anyway, still working on this. I got it to pre load one texture, but that's all. I could program it to load a texture per line of code, but not all automatically. So I'm looking up C++ incrementing code. Basically, need to learn some more, so I can create the pre-loading texture system.

I know. I am not having any luck so far. I have tried deleting all/any Rice related files except yours, same thing. Then reinstalling MRV 6.1.4 and re-downloading and re-copying you files back in too, still same thing.

Name? Just a fast thought and my fingers typed it. Name...hmmm....

Sorry I am typing short..I will be more thorough when I am less pressed for time.

Thanks a million!

Here is a screenshot, tried to get everything in there:

Wow..I really don't understand that, but so far you are the only one experiencing this problem. Is the same thing happening with the other Rice versions? Hmm, maybe I'm overlooking something..I'll edit my post if I find anything.
