You haven't read the docs, have you? Well, after you swear you've read and understood 'em, I'll tell you what you did wrong (or didn't do right)! 

I don't modified check.mk! What stupid am i

It's not the check.mk. It's all there in  8).bat

Okay, I'l give you a hint (although you don't deserve it -- after what you did to me  ): it's in the HowTo, near the beginning of the list.

Then what do you suppose it brings? It's the leaked driver, man! I never said it's mine. So ask NuAngel!

Koolsmoky?!!

Welcome my friend!!!

Hiya,

Listen very well to what Daniel says, or else you guys will incur divine wrath.

I really wonder how the new driver would perform. Until now, all of the staff at Beyond Dreams were seriously questioning the way in which the newer drivers (Koolsmoky glide2x/3x for Win XP, and self-operating opengl) perform. All the tests run proved a little worst quality, not to mention the overall down visuals in games (both OpenGL and Glide, a little worse texture management). What is to be noted however is that those drivers did improve aspects like lighting, and FSAA speed. But here ends the good things...

In this case the future is...?

We have checked the glide sources, since we first heard of their availability through internet (2002), and since then we put ourselves many questions regarding the development of newer games using glide, perforamance, and quality issues.

Since 2002, we have done a number of independent tests, and come to the conclusions:
1)Glide is an excellent interface, simple, fast, compatible.
2)In terms of quality, it is still above DirectX standards.
3)32 bit depth color is not so important as how effects are generated, and applied.
4)Glide is still a viable platform, although it needs some enahncements to be able to cope very well with textures, AGP, shared memory...

The independent tests also sent a light through some of the major aspects in which the drivers and the card work together, what is good and not so good. Using all the driver tweaking, we have come to good conclusion on what are the best glide/opengl/direct3d requirements, conjunction, and usage, and we have tracked down problems (including GTA3 issues of "missing textures cars are white").

Having said this, we know very well what our aims are, and we continue to struggle to bring quality to 3dfx or S3 users, and take most of the performance out of a PC.
Probably we wilL still rely on our road and continue our researches far of the others work. Mainly because we seek specific things, and we are very interested in solving a problem entirely, not just "cover" it so that it works somehow...

More, since financial support for our work is minimal, our work is considerably hindered and slowed, and this is happening because of the common perception of people regarding this kind of facts: "Why should I pay to enhance something, when I could buy a new one? Or why should I bother to change it, if it works somehow this way?".

Because of this our work is valuable, but not sustained enough. And for each and every thing there is a strong point on the list: money, finances. Without that, our work will remain apart from the public...
