by Diedel

by Diedel

- Improved: Movie playback on older gfx hardware. If movies are played in slo-mo, set "-movie_quality 0" in d2x.ini or uncheck "High Movie Quality" in the render options menu.

by Diedel
D2X-W32 1.3.74
- Fixed: Render depth with "Render Entire Mine" was very low, leading to most of the level not being displayed (this was due to some experimental code being left in the program).

by Diedel

Posted: Thu May 19, 2005 4:01 pm
by Diedel
D2X-W32 1.3.76
- Fixed: New non-linear joystick sensitivity scaling was framerate dependant and could lead to extreme sensitivity.
- Fixed: Rounding error when sampling joy axes movement could lead to values too small in the program, which in turn made the aforementioned behaviour worse.

by Diedel
D2X-W32 1.3.77
- Improved: Frame rate when "Render Entire Mine" is enabled. Some objects behind cloaked walls might still be invisible at certain view angles, but if that happens, it will be much less apparent and annoying than disappearing mine walls.
