Re: MTM2 Beta Patch 0.43 - Drag me to the finish line

I know this is necro-posting at this point, but how difficult would it be to add 3DFX support for the 1360x768 resolution? It's my monitor's native resolution and I would love to play at my game's full potential instead of having to run it in software mode

Pick 856x480 16:9 3dfx for game ...

Re: Breaking the camera free for replays

V and K will switch camera and truck views in full screen

And no you can not break it free as far as i know
the game has no arbitrary locations to break it free and send it to

Re: Introducing the SS Project

Well, if a person was to want to pick some HD but had some non HD ones that for some reason they liked better.
At least with the old ones not disabled, and the names clearly stating HD, they would know which was which.

Me personally, yea i would just disable the non HD, and use only the HD trucks ...

Re: Did MTM1 use the 2 pixel overlap when 3d accelerated?

This of any use?
https://archive.org/download/WING10/WING10.EXE

Usually though, for stuff like that, i just use a win 3.11 install i made in DOSBox.

Actually, fury 3 seems to run.
The installer wont go as it is 16 bit, but i copied the game files from the CD
and ran the game, and it worked.

Ah, so it is not running in glide, ok.
Out of luck here then dgvoodoo never worked for me at all, nglide works great, so thats what i have

I have all the tracks in MTM2, but i always liked the dirt and grass particle effect in MTM1
They kinda left that out in MTM2

Re: Did MTM1 use the 2 pixel overlap when 3d accelerated?

How are you setting it to use GLide?
In hardware accelerated mode, all i get is direct3D hardware, no GLide option
So no voodoo wrapper and no full screen.

Not to mention, everything outside the truck windows is black in hardware acel

Re: Question about audio

I thought the game needed 8bit mono wave files?

for the sound effects, engine etc, if you extract those from the pod
though they have the .wav extension, the do not appear to be an actual WAV file

They appear to be some kind of 16bit raw wave form
I suspect 16bit 22k mono MS-ADPCM big endian ...

Question about audio

Fila since you have the source code, maybe you might know

The games audio files, though having the wav extension, are not wave files
I know they are raw (and it plays back WAV compressed audio with much lower volume to boot)
Do you know what raw format they are in?

it does appear to be 16bit

Re: Lag from high quality textures

Yes that is the reason. The game engine does not work well with 256x256 files. It's a limitation of the graphics engine from that time and there is simply no way around it. The only way to fix this is by upgrading the game to use DirectX9/OpenGL (at a minimum) on it's own (not through a wrapper ...

Re: Monster Truck Madness & Monster Truck Madness 2 (big box

I have the big box for MTM2. It's basically a huge thing with a regular jewel case inside. It's pretty funny. I'm sure there must have been more content inside but I got it 2nd hand and never saw any of it.

Not really
I have the retail box, still in the shrink wrap, with the pricetag and all

Oh I am not surprised. I have the source code... it's a mess.

That is nifty, i did not know it had ever been released.

This game could probably be re-released, and sell decently today, with some minor updates of course.

Well, interesting finding, and i know why it does not work on anything here

MTM2 as opposed to MTM1 makes some kind of SSL request on port 443 when you click host and then click connect after picking tcpip.

not really sure where the request is directed to
there is no answer, and MTM2 waits half a ...

Other option would also be to just try this download instead.

Since several people used that and the game worked.

Even that still freezes
And i pulled out an old windowsXP laptop, it can barely run the game in software mode.
It froze when picking tcpip.

It is the point of directplay, but the dplayx.dll is a way newer version.
