GLIDOS OpenGLide Wrapper

Another often used wrapper, Open GLide v009rc5 - here  


Texture Memory Setting - Rebs Rens

  1. Setting the Texture Memory is very important, as well as other key setting.  These can be done easily with Notepad, or Wordpad.  Simply open 'OpenGLid.ini', and set the following parameters:  

[Options]
EnableMMX=0
CreateWindow=0
InitFullScreen=1
EnableMipMaps=0
IgnorePaletteChange=1
EnableFog=1
EnablePrecisionFix=1
EnableWrap565=0
EnableMultiTextureEXT=0
EnablePaletteEXT=1
EnablePackedPixelsEXT=0
EnableVertexArrayEXT=0
EnableSecondaryColorEXT=0
EnableFogCoordEXT=1
TextureMemorySize=4 - the lower the number (by 2) the worse the FPS
WrapperPriority=3
FrameBufferMemorySize=16

Other settings that are often wrong:
wrapperpriority = 2 // minimum 2 or sound might start to stutter
enablemipmaps = 0 // or suffer fps hit. mipmaps are not used, anyway
ignorepalettechange=1 // if you suffer fps hit with 'sun glare' (AFM)

Terrains in the sky? And standing up?
Changes in the OpenGLid.ini file for Rb3D:
IgnorePaletteChange = 1
EnableMipMaps = 0
TextureMemorySize = 4 (2 to icon_cool.gif)
FrameBufferMemorySize = 16 (max)
It also helps if you have access to PCI settings in your Video advanced settings to change the Frame Buffer size to 16 there also.  


ATI Radeon card users need to switch sun glare off (does not work in MMP, is a server setting)
most servers run NFM, not likely to be much of a problem.

  1. Version - another key factor to performance.  Version 007b4 is the best suited for Red Baron, and can be checked by simply opening the OpenGLid.ini file and looking at the version number.
  1. The sum of TextureMemorySize and FrameBufferMemorySize must not exceed the amount of actual ram on your board.

Glidos with ATI cards - Crowbarz/Polovski

You should download the glidos patch, open it with a zip file extracter like winzip.  Unzip it to sierra\redbaron3d folder.  Go to ATI's website and download the latest driver for your video card.

You must use the latest CAT drivers from ATI, 3.2 or 3.4 work fine. Also use 0.07b4 of OpenGlide. Read the info on the Glidos site about running Red baron with ATI cards. I use it fine with XP and ATI9700 Pro

Also....from Polovski

Try this one: atioglxx.dll
Atioglxx.dll 3.2 version

Read the readme txt in the zip.
