Modulate2X Test
Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/Modulate2X Test

| Hi, I've would like to add support for the Modulate2X and Modulate4X texture blend modes. Before first I want to check there aren't gonna be any major compatiblity headaches with them. Demo here... http://www.blitzbasic.com/tmp/mod2x.zip You should see 3 Blitz3D logos, each progressively brighter, like this:  Please give this a test and post: * Whether or not it works! * What GfxDriver3D version is printed on the screen. * Your Graphics setup info - graphics card, DX version and OS. Thanks! |
| ||
| Loads and executes but looks wrong: I get three grey untextured spheres. The one in the middle (Modulate 2X) has a highlight with a large radius and the two others a narrow radius. The GfxDriver version print says '100'. Graphics card: ATI Rage Mobility AGP 4 mb video mem DX 8.1 WinXP Well the gfx card is sh#te so it's only to be expected I suppose. |
| ||
| 1. It works! 2. 110 3. Radeon9500Pro, DX9.0, Win XP. |

| ||
| 1. It works! 2. GfxDriverCaps3D: 110 3. Nvidia Quadro2 MXR/EX, DX8.1, Win 2000. |
| ||
| And what's textureblend Texture, 4 supposed to do? :-) Erik: You did run the EXE and not try to run the Blitz source provided which won't work because your version of Blitz doesn't have blending, right? :-) If ya did that though you proabably wouldn't have just seen gray squares. And anyhow if all you saw were grey squares I'm betting no transparency works on your card. :-) I had a guy try to run my game on a card like that and he had weird glitches too. |
| ||
| Just ran the demo. Works, 110, and my video card is an All in Wonder Radeon (Radeon 7500 equivalent) and I'm running DX 9, and Win XP. |

| Coolness - thanks! BTW: if you don't know your system components, we (fm) have just released PCMark04 that will tell you EXACTLY what's in your PC, HW, OS and all... you can download it for free from here: http://www.futuremark.com/download/?pcmark04.shtml System 1: Works!

| ||
| Hey Mark are we gonna get Modulate 2x and 4x ENTITY Blend modes as well? Cause those would be real useful too, and it would be a terrrrrrrrible oversight not to include them. :-) Assuming there is such a thing... Is there? :-) |
| ||
| Fine here -- 110 -- Geforce2 MX / DX9.0b / XP. |

| Bully tactics seem to work quite well don't they! :) I'll check it out tonight. |
| ||
| Yeah, sorry about all those bumps :) I'll test it on some of the college computer and report back! |
| ||
| It does NOT work for me: The GfxDriver version print says '100'. The left and middle image look identical to each other, and appear a little but more dithered / less blurry than your examples screenshot The one on the right fails completely: instead of a sphere with a texture map, I see a pure white box covering the location where the sphere should have been.

| Those aren't spheres. They're quads with a texture on them and a circle of light texture in the second texture channel. :-) |

| ||
| Perfect here, 110 Gf2 GTS. Bully tactics seem to work quite well don't they! :) I know you're joking but I honestly don't think bully tatics work on Mark. What ya gotta do is provide concrete evidence and a compelling reason for him to add it. If he likes it then this is the result :) |

| ||
| Works fine. GfxDriverCaps3D: 110 Inno3D GeForce 2 MX (32Mb), DX9.0b, WinXP Pro. I have a question though - apart from making textures look horribly 'over-exposed', what does this actually do? |
| ||
| GfK: Take a look here |
| ||
| It works here. GfxDriverCaps3D: 110 GeForce 4 MX , DX9.0b, Win98 SE. GeForce 4 MX , DX9.0b, Win2k. |
| ||
| It doesn't make textures look horribly over exposed. It brightens them when the color in the lightmap is greater than 127, and darkens them when it is less than 127. 2x brightens them up to 2x their orginal brightness. Without 2x blending lightmaps can only make textures darker than they are by default. This does not look very realistic, and scenes often appear dull. No One Lives Forever - 2x Multiply http://www.gamescreenshots.com/fullpic.asp?category=pc&pic_id=35&game_id=1&gallery=0&picOrder=0 Quake 2 - 1x Multiply http://www.gamescreenshots.com/fullpic.asp?category=pc&pic_id=36693&game_id=415&gallery=0&picOrder=0 This is a better comparison though. This is a dark area from Serious Sam. Note how the lighting is much more vibrant. That's 2x in action. http://www.gamescreenshots.com/fullpic.asp?category=pc&pic_id=67461&game_id=21&gallery=0&picOrder=0 Too bad video card drivers can't force 2x blending. :-) Cause I'd like to see Quake 2 with it on. I bet it'd look a whole lot better than it did 16 dithered 16 bit color on my Voodoo all those years ago. Too bad it wasn't that good a game. |

| ||
| On a school PC here (in other words, crap specs)...anyway 1. Sorta works...first two logos, it has un-smooth shading, but they look as they shoukld if they were smooth shaded, and the 3rd logo looks as if nothing happened to it (I can see the whole texture in other words) 2.

| ||
| Is it just me or would this have been a pefect use for a poll? Especially if you could type in your own 'other' graphics card that then gets added to the list? |

I suspect this will work on my pc. Unfortunately, fullscreen resolution of 640x480 will not work with this gfx card which the exe defaults to. So I ran the source, which obviously 1.85 may not support yet:( Software: Windows98 (4.10.1998),DirectX 9.0b (4.09.0000.0902),Blitz 1.85 Hardware:AMD Duron900Mhz, Nvidia GeForce4 Ti 4600 128M, 256M |
| ||
| 1. Works 2. 110 3. Geforce 4 Ti4200, DX9.0b, WinME. |
| ||
| Frank Taylor.... the Ti4600 most certainly will do 640x480 just fine. I dont' know any video card that WON'T do 640x480. Windows installs default to 640x480 so it would be pretty bad for a manufactureer to not support the lowest common denominator. (oh, and I have a Ti4600 that I used for about a yaer before recently switching to this 9600XT radeon, and I've run a lotta programs in 640x480 so I'm not just assuming... been there. done that. :) ) Kanati |

| * works * 110 * GF4MX440, DX8.1, Win98SE I had a guy try to run my game on a card like that and he had weird glitches too. You'll be happy to know, Mr Swift, that I've upgraded since then and now play your game regularly against the totally brain-dead (as in loss of motor-function brain-dead) enemies from the last version I helped you test. Looks nice - I particularly enjoy the smoke. |
| ||
| You play it regularly? You mean you actually like it? :-) Well that's nice. I was beginning to think it might not be worth finishing. :-) |
| ||
| 1. No big surprise here. The binary doesn't work at all on my TabletPC. The source 'works' from within the IDE tho' (with the debugger enabled, as usual) but the effects are ofcourse not implemented yet (I get roughly the same picture as Mr. Taylor although I swear my textures look a little more blured than that). 2. 110. 3.
