Subject: | [Nel] The solution to run Snowball without 3D card under Windows |
Date: | Thu, 21 Feb 2002 18:14:39 +0100 |
Information :
All the problem is that snowball use the opengl 1.2
extension.
Why ?
Because Microsoft system only include Opengl 1.1
and if you want to run Opengl 1.2 program you need to download an Opengl driver
of your 3D accelerated card manufacturer.
The problem if you dont have a 3D card , you 're
never be able to download one !!
The solution is an API ( Mesa ) that implements all
Opengl 1.2 and newly 1.2 spécification.
So you have to download Mesa 4.0.1 version and
compile librairie of Mesa.
After you have to compile nel 3D Opengl Driver but
using Mesa API . How ?
- change your include Opengl
directory by Mesa Opengl include directory
- add Mesa library directory
- add Mesa library in Visual studio to
the nel 3D Opengl driver
project.
Compile your nel 3D Opengl driver and had the
nel3DOpengl Dll and mesa DLL in snowbal game directory.
Run and enjoy !!
On my work PC station ( 64 Mo Ram and duron 600 mhz
) it run at least at 0,33 fps :) but it run perfectly without any
change in snowball code.
