N2 3dfx question

If I make the adjustments to my autoexec.bat file, which executable do I
run?  Do I still need to run the nas3dfx.exe or can I run the regular n2
executable?

Just wondering and thanks for any help

What makes you think you have to make changes to your autoexec.bat? Have you
ever had to do it before for a game?

Doesn't everyone launch N2 from their autoexec.bat? :-)

If you have something else to do on your computer (like install an
upgrade to N2), just press F8 on boot.

How about Apache - the helicopter sim?...The game had you run-around
chasing your tail - whether in DOS or Win95!  =P

...I'm sure I, or anyone else, could come up with a dozen or so other
titles.

Cheers!

Yes, you still need to use nas3dfx.exe. I run it in dos and here is a
copy of a bat file I made to run N23DFX under dos 6.x. You will run
out of environment space with all these set environment variables
though so you need to add this line to your config.sys. Change the
directory to point to command.com on your system.
shell=c:\dos\command.com /p /e:1024

rem N2.bat
g:
cd\nascar2
SET N2FXAA=1
SET N2FXFOG=0.10
SET N2FXFOGCOLOR=0xa8a8a8
SET N2FXLOAD=0x100000
SET SST_FASTMEM=1
SET SST_FASTPCIRD=1
SET FX_GLIDE_SWAPINTERVAL=0
SET SST_SCREENREFRESH=75
SET SST_RGAMMA=1.10
SET SST_GGAMMA=1.10
SET SST_BGAMMA=1.10
SET SST_GRXCLK=57

Run the nas3dfx.exe. Of course you can run the regular N2 executable, but
than you'll get the regular N2 graphics.

Where you get all that info?  I have a Diamond Monster also and was
wondering where you got your info for the settings.
Thanks

Somewhere on the web. Can't remember exactly where. Here's some more
settings and at the bottom are settings that I use for every glide
game. You can put them in the autoexec.bat or put them in a batch file
you use to start any glide games.

SET SST_SCREENREFRESH=60
SET SST_RGAMMA=1.00
SET SST_GGAMMA=1.10
SET SST_BGAMMA=1.00
SET SST_GRXCLK=57
rem (Sets the clock speed)
SET FX_GLIDE_SWAPINTERVAL=0
rem (Tells the 3D card to proceed at maximum speed.)
SET SST_SWAP_EN_WAIT_ON_VSYNC=0
rem (Tells the 3D card to NOT wait for vertical sync.)
SET SST_FASTMEM=1
rem (Maximizes memory-I/O performance on the 3D card.)
SET SST_PCIRD=1
SET SST_FASTPCIRD=1
rem (Speeds things up more.)
REM GLQUAKE STARTUP FILE
SET FX_GLIDE_NO_SPLASH=1
SET SST_FASTMEM=1
SET SST_FASTPCIRD=1
SET SST_SWAP_EN_WAIT_ON_VSYNC=0
SET FX_GLIDE_SWAPINTERVAL=0
SET SST_SCREENREFRESH=60
SET SST_RGAMMA=1.70
SET SST_GGAMMA=1.70
SET SST_BGAMMA=1.70
SET SST_GRXCLK=50
Turn off filtering
SET SST_VIDEO_FILTER_DISABLE=1

Recommended settings (these are all safe on a Monster3D):
SET SST_GRXCLK=57
SET SST_FASTMEM=1
SET SST_FASTPCIRD=1
SET SST_GAMMA=1.3
SET FX_GLIDE_SWAPINTERVAL=0
