This version adds support for both v2 rasterisers, and since Amir Kamal clarified the licensing, there is
no need for patching. Support for three rasterisers is built-in, old direct3d rasteriser is not supported.

Report only problems related to rasteriser support (rastd3d7.dll is known not to work), Pribluda bugs are
not my area.

UPDATE: use the latest version (1.1.2.1) from posts  https://srmz.racesimcentral.net/inde...indpost&p=48129 and https://srmz.racesimcentral.net/inde...indpost&p=48161

Though the first version works for me, it seems to fail when a backbuffer is not created. Here is a new version:

Thank you for this new Pribluda version.  I have not tried it yet, but I'm guessing the backbuffer is for OGL.  It needed to be set to "block transfer" for OGL V1.

Both versions are for all three supported rasterisers. First one might crash for some people (not sure why), hence the updated version. Both versions work on my system (ATI HD5770, Vista x64, catalyst 10.6).

Sadly, it did not work for me. First run caused a CTD. But later runs loaded without any problems. However, I could not get ANY boards to show up even after tweaking the X,Y coords in the .ini file. Is the .xml file needed? I put it in the folder just in case.

For me it was v2 as usual: no pribluda boards. Hopefully, I just screwed something up!

Anyway, I (we) really appreciate your efforts.

See pribluda.log in your GPL folder for more information on what happened. The xml file is (or should be) the equivalent of patching gpl.exe so it loads pribluda. Of course in that case you need to launch from gplc67.exe, not gpl.exe.

Seems OK. I don't use any mods and have only glp.exe. Is this a problem?

Everything seems to work ok based on the log output. One tester reported not getting any output when using antialiasing with an ATI card, so might be because of that. However, on my ATI video card it works with or without antialiasing.

[ptmac3]

Thank you for this! No problems using at all. Anti-Aliasing set to 8x on my Ati 4850 with the latest drivers. I changed the font in the prib.ini from courier new to arial with the result of the font being much, much clearer. First thing I did was run the unpatchpribluda.bat for the openglv2 version, then ran GPL to make certain the d3d7 version functioned, then I removed everything associated with the openglv2 to another folder, copied your files to GPL and Gem+ accordingly and fired up GPL while leaving the box for patching in Gem+ checked. It functioned perfectly the first time.

EDIT: Had to change the font back to Courier New after trying several different fonts. Only Courier New looked right.

I have a lowly ATI 9200 Mobility. No anti-aliasing (greyed out), but everything else is ticked in the Options menu, plus full detail. I also checked the ATI control panel: anti-A is set to "application preference" so it should be off. I run at 1600x1200 on a 1920x1200 display. No doubt there are endless setup variables among users so that makes it difficult to troubleshoot.

I mentioned I fiddled with the x,y coords. Can you confirm you changed the mapping reference compared to the previous version? 0,0 was top left before. Now??? That there are negative values makes me wonder what reference you use.

This version is compiled from files obtained from Amir Kamal. The Pribluda.ini is unmodified, except for the version number. Negative values are offsets from the screen edge, I don't believe that the .ini is causing your problem. Tomorrow I'll have a look at the feedback posted in this thread and post a new version if I can think of something to fix.

Thanks very much BRR.

Works great 'straight out of the box' for me.

Now all I have to do is decide whether to use D3D or OpenGL - any thoughts? Both seem much the same to me except GL has transparent drop down lists.

I had the same question but couldn't discern any real difference in the car. Thinking back, I should have tried a more graphics intensive scenario as both were giving full 60fps all the time. In the end I stuck with OpenGL because D3D gives me a little flickering in the menus (not much) and the buttons disappear in the replays.

Edit: I get better frame rate with OpenGL. Nvidia Geforce 9600GT

Sorry to go off-topic, great work BRR, thanks heaps.

I noticed the same thing. It cleared up after disabling Anti-Aliasing in CCC. Other than that d3d7v2 and this new Pribluda version work okay. Haven't tried it with Oglv2 yet though.

[fletch]

Brr,

Your .ini causes conflicts with my Logitech wheel buttons. Buttons mapped to keys that Pribluda does not even use don't work now. Weird. I'll chase after that tonight. My old .ini works but I get the impression you need the new .ini with the new version. Several of the section headers are different in the new .ini. Does this mean the old .ini with the old headers will not function with the new version?

Also, can you explain in more detail the purpose of the .xml? If it acts as a patch, how is it called? gpl.exe knows to run it? Was I supposed to use iGor to patch my .exe with your .xml? I did not do this. I simply dropped it into my gpl folder with the rest of your files. Renaming gpl to gplc67 had no effect.

I'm glad it installed "out of the box" for others. It gives me hope I'm just a small step away.

The included Pribluda.ini is unchanged, except for the version number. I haven't even looked at key mappings etc.. These are Pribluda issues, I just patched Pribluda it so it works with rd3d7v2 rasteriser and left it unchanged otherwise.

The enablepribluda.xml is a GEM+ option, you need to put it in the GEM+ Options folder, select it in GEM+ and create new gplc67.exe. There is no need to use it if you gpl.exe already loads pribluda.dll.

[brr]

Those who don't get any output but pribluda.log has no errors, it may be worth checking that the rasteriser dll is the correct version. The file size and date modified of roglv2.dll are in the README (I knew there are more than one roglv2.dll around), here is the information on rd3d7v2.dll:

Size 368640 bytes
Date modified 22.2.2008

You should see the information by right-clicking the file and selecting Properties. It is important that the rasteriser is identical to
the one I use, because patching does not produce the correct result otherwise.

Thanks a lot for updating pribluda for D3D last rasterizer users.
