When starting a race all the cars squeel the tires. The burning rubber pours out green smoke. Voodoo 3000. Anybody else notice this? Slot

I get the green smoke in 16-bit color on a Rage Fury. I don't remember if it did it in 32-bit. Life is what you experience between racing games. * Sent from RemarQ http://www.remarq.com The Internet's Discussion Network * The fastest and easiest way to search and participate in Usenet - Free!

I get green smoke with an AGP TNT 16MB. On Mon, 3 Apr 2000 00:36:41 -0400, "GTX_SlotCar" <[email hidden]> wrote:

I have V3 3500 and have green smoke problem too. Did you play the game at 16 bit or 32 bit color? I am wondering if this green smoke problem occur at 32 bit color as well. I can't test it with my card since V3 doesn't support 32 bit color. <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > I get green smoke with an AGP TNT 16MB.

Since the game has no option for 24 bit color, I assume the Voodoo card is actually running in D3D, not Glide. Any other thoughts on this?

Slot If you go to the 3DSetup folder, you will see the file 3DSetup.ini. Edit it and you will see the following for Voodoo cards: CARD_3Dfx Voodoo /M:voodoo2 /I CARD_3Dfx Voodoo Rush /M:voodoo2 /I CARD_3Dfx Voodoo2 /M:dx /I CARD_3Dfx Banshee /M:dx /I CARD_3Dfx Voodoo3 /M:dx /I From this I guess that V3 cards are set to run in DirectX mode. Some people have suggested changing the V3 line to: CARD_3Dfx Voodoo3 /M:voodoo2 /I and re-running 3DSetup.exe. This should set the game to Glide mode. I've tried this on my setup (V3 2000) and the only difference I've noticed is that the centreline is more blurred in DX mode. I can't really see any difference in the framerate although I can't be sure as Fraps doesn't work in either mode. Back to the smoke issue, I see green smoke in both modes and can only use 16-bit colour. All I can say is if thats the biggest problem in the game we haven't got much to worry about. Hope this helps. I'm off to deliver a Boxster undamaged. Cheers Phil PS from a English baseball fan all I have to say is Go Yankees! -- http://www.youpies.co.uk

Of course you're right, Phil. Smoke color ain't much to worry about ;) I was just curious if it was just my computer. I think only Voodoo1 cards run Glide in this game. It would be nice if Glide support for Voodoo3 was added later though. Might increase frame rates quite a bit. I got the top down in the Speedster and I'm wearing my scarf. I'll put on dark sunglasses and never notice the smoke color ;) Slot "Phil Lee" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9S8G4.5171$[email hidden]... > GTX_SlotCar <[email hidden]> wrote > > > Since the game has no option for 24 bit color, I assume the Voodoo cardis > > actually running in D3D, not Glide.

There is a fix that lets you run glide with a VOODOO2. And you are right ,the frame rate is much better (at least with SLI it is. ) Doug....lifelong diehard Boston Bruins fan......long suffering Boston Red Sox fan....once proud but now "What the hell is going on?"Boston Celtics fan.......first they were going and now there staying New England Patriots fan !!!
