(see Tomb Raider Xtra)
Tomb Raider 1 - Shadow of the Cat - Unfinished Business
High quality graphics for the original Tombraider, including the
"Temple of the cat" and "Unfinished Business" levels
Glidos v1.33 : New in v1.31 : Two things: New in v1.28 : as always support for high definition texture packs
Per-palette texture cache to speed up Blood on modern cards.
Avoid reaquiring of LFB when not changed. Makes TR1 ring
menu 6 times faster.
Restructure texture-override mapping-file reading routines,
and add equivalence-file feature that lessens the work
of creating texture packs by automatically mapping
textures reused from one level to the next.
Supply both OpenGLide (OpenGL) and psVoodoo (Direct3D) wrappers
with GLidos, and allow choice between them via the game
configuration.
Extend configuration dialog to cover all options, so that
editing of glidos.ini is no longer necessary.
Have server request game config during game start up, rather
than sending config when the Start button is pressed. This
ensures the game congif is used even if the game is started
directly by double-clicking the DOS program.
Have Glidos send config information to the wrapper, to control
windowed/full screen mode, mipmapping, and per-palette texture
cache.
Tidy up window creation code, moving it into the server class.
Pass on grLFBUnlock calls. Should help if trying to drive
a real voodoo card.
Handle pngs with 1 and 2 components.
Correct handling of Delta0 modes when psVoodoo in use.
User control of Tomb Raider Hack - now selected for TR1 only
by default (not needed for Unfinished business if psVoodoo
selected).
Support for installation of texture packs in subfolders of
the "Textures" folder, with user selection of which to
apply.
He Reestablishes support for Windows 95/98/ME, working more efficiently in the way the DOS side communicates with the Windows side.
Paul Fixed a bug that could cause Descent II to crash or to take minutes over some menu screens.
A load of Nathan McCree's music got left out of the PC port of Tomb Raider,
and worse the Sold Out Software version left out the ambient sounds. I've
just released version 1.29 of Glidos, which can recognise scenes and trigger
audio tracks when they appear. There's also an audio pack that has the
triggers and tracks for the first three levels, and the ambient sounds for
all levels.
Cheers,
Paul.
v1.28 of Glidos is out. Gets rid of black lines that effect ATI cards and nVidia's
recent drivers. Also cures texture drop out with TNT cards and recent ATI drivers.
Hi,
Between v1.24 and v1.25 I made an experimental change which,
it turns out, make some games run in slow motion. I've fixed it
in v1.28.
Cheers,
Paul.
=-=-=-=-=-
Email me - Dracman with Your card that works and I'll list it here !!
Glidos v1.22 is now available at http://www.glidos.net
.)Please let me know how you get on (using mailto:group@glidos.net),
including bugs you have reported before if they are still
apparent.
Cheers,
Paul.
Paul,
Great job Paul on v1.3! Full screen at 1024x768, I don't
remember TR1ever
looking this beautiful, and it's FAST too!
Gameplay slows down a bit ?
Yeh, v 1.3 slows for me too, on my k6/2-450 with TNT1, but
not on my Athlon800 with GF2GTS

P.S. how did you get those screen snaps ?
< Paul >
Glidos shows TR graphics in a window, while TR runs in a DOS box (the DOS
box is best made as small as possible so it doesn't get in the way).
If the DOS box looses the Windows focus then TR1 stops and the action
freezes, {be sure and click outside the glide server window to stop the action - then
press print screen.} and you can hit the "Prnt Scrn" key to capture the picture.
I've almost found a way to hide the DOS box, but hopefully I wont lose the
screen-shot feature.
