Xentales

i see it karl...it works just fine for me ^_^

Program works just fine Karl.
As far as Shader 1.1 goes, I think its a perfectly good choice. New enough to make the Xen remake look much much better but old enough for people with older graphics cards to play.

Keep up the good work.

ok whenever i open it i see the black box for like 1 second then it just closes :/

graphics card?

Intel(r) 82915g/gv/910gl Express chipset Family

and im pretty sure all the drivers and shit are updated .

I highly doubt your chipset supports pixel shaders.
Buy a cheapass graphics card. You can get a x1300 for like 40 dollars.

It should work on any ATi Radeon 9000+ and nVidia FX5200+, those are the lowest cards I know off the top of my head that really support SM1.1.

Works fine for me, 8192.

sticky please?

Although the game will definitely require pixel/vertex shaders in the future, I've figured out a way to do the same thing without them for the time being.

Download Me! (click here)

After you run it, PLEASE TELL ME what happens and everything that is written in the output (you can ignore the first two lines)

For example,

"Max Vertex Shader Constants: 256
Max Indexed Matrix Index: 37

Creating the Direct3D device in HARDWARE mode..."

Trying to initialize Direct3D...
Created Direct3D global object
Max Vertex Shader Constants: 256
Max Indexed Matrix Index: 37

Creating the Direct3D device in HARDWARE mode...

Press any key to continue . . .

saw a small window with blue background and a spinning white triangle that flexed back and forth.

Trying to initialize Direct3D...
Created Direct3D global object
Max Vertex Shader Constants: 256
Max Indexed Matrix Index: 0

Creating the Direct3D device in HARDWARE mode...

Press any key to continue . . .

Press any key to continue . . .

I hadn't really even noticed this thread.

Karl if you need any assistance with mapping or skins hit me up. I'm really big on digital imaging, and would love to help.

more then you know.. the only thing i miss just as much are my Pajama pants.. why oh why did ej take away my pj's... I must get my hands on a mbm now, the only armor that lets me get my pj's back!!!

Your Windows username is Neorift?

Awww. You're like a role model Neo!

Yeah, I'm a f- hero.

I got asked to write a report about my hero at school, and I chose you. So I can understand where he is coming from.

I would've written about me too.

I failed though. Apprently, "First to level past 62 in Xenimus" was not enough of a reason for idol worship.

It should.

December 18 Progress Update
Hello again everyone! I've been pretty busy with exams and stuff recently, but I managed to get the mesh vertex shader up and running. With some help from Razillian (thank you for the Ex shield and silver mace!) I managed to texture almost everything.

If some of the screenshots look like someone dropped a bunch of plus-size items all over the screen...well that's what happened. For some reason all the usable items are HUGE, but the characters are the right size. Go figure.

Anyway, here's the gallery! It's hosted at the brand-spanking-new (okay it's not that new but nobody's used it yet) homepage.

THE GALLERY:
http://www.unseenstudios.com/volucris/g ... 82006.html

There are even some MOVIES for you to watch! Only two right now, but more are on the way (once I get some time)
http://www.unseenstudios.com/volucris/p ... 22006.html


If you guys start posting on the Unseen forums, I'll start doing updates there so I stop hogging this threadspace. It could also be used for discussions and such...

glad you noticed

<3

I just thought of you when I was making my username.

Scary thought, no? lol

A Shield I made real quick:



It's also in my thread on your forums Karl.

my interpretation of the excelsus shield:

needs to be very shiny IMO.

Xenimus is a game defined by how shiny shit is! Colors, translucency and shine oh my!

my interpretation of a rapier (with mystic skin applied, if not applied well, I'm still working on my texturing)

GJ this is turning out well!!
