Gl Quake Will Not Load

#11102 posted by Saturnine on 2006/10/23 19:45:30

I get a genport I/O initialization failure then,

grSstSelect: Non existant SST, then I have a huge screen!

ending with wglcreatcontent failed.

PS
I already have the required glide Dll (I was told on the link to download it too, cuz I'll need it, then told unless I have a voodo card, which I dont, I wont need it. So I erased it from my quake directory and got the same messages)

Please help!!!

like i was saying, unless you have a voodoo card, i don't think you need any dll in your quake dir. That could be the problem.

Take 2 Gl Loading Problems

#11104 posted by Saturnine on 2006/10/24 13:13:25

I was told to erase opengl32.dll as well. So I did, Now it finally loads past all of these errors, but its slow and stutters.

have you tried using FitzQuake? It's a vast improvement over GLQuake.

I Want To Use Dark Places

#11108 posted by Saturnine on 2006/10/24 18:07:00

I thought you had to have Gl quake first though!

Tried Fitzquake

#11109 posted by Saturnine on 2006/10/24 22:03:16

It couldnt load gfx.wad. Whatever that means

You Don't Need Glquake Then

#11110 posted by metlslime on 2006/10/24 22:35:06

Fitzquake and Darkplaces should both work on a clean install of quake.

For Fitzquake, all you really need is three files:
/quake/fitzquake.exe
/quake/id1/pak0.pak
/quake/id1/pak1.pak

I'm sure darkplaces is similar, except darkplaces might come with its own dlls.

As for the gfx.wad, this can happen if you launch with a .bat file from a directory other than the quake dir:

Incorrect:
c:\quake\fitzquake

Correct:
cd c:\quake
fitzquake

If it's a shortcut, make sure the "starting directory" is your quake directory.

OMG

Latest Experiment In Running A Better Engine

#11115 posted by Saturnine on 2006/10/25 16:24:56

Installed only the pak files to C:\Darkplaces, C:\Quake Darkplaces, C:\QUAKE and still got the same effect. the game stutters so bad I cant even play it. I Cant adjust the options ingame (If this is the problem)Cuz It takes three minutes to shut the damn thing down and try again, Toggling options is impossible.

*that is how bad it stutters.

If They're Not In A Folder Called Id1, It Won't Work

it sounds like Dark Places is starting out with the real time lighting option on. You'll need to go to the graphics menu and change the setting
option labeled rt_world from on to off. Once the rt_lights are off, Dark Places will function pretty well for any graphic card. Yeap, it will take about three to five minutes just to get to that menu unless you have a blazing fast video card.:(

Heh

#11119 posted by Spirit on 2006/10/26 03:39:58

That sounds like when I tried running a GL engine with a Glide Wrapper on my old ATI Mach 64 once...

What

#11120 posted by bambuz on 2006/10/26 14:47:18

graphics card? Lemme guess it's some cheap ati?

Tried Everything

#11121 posted by Saturnine on 2006/10/26 21:01:46

Turned off rt everything, decreased the screensize to a tiny little box, Then it ran with improvements. But thats no way to play the game!!

Do I just need a better video card? Im running it on a 2002 dell. I dont even have a Ati, just whatever came with this computer.
