Looking for Wazp3d v49

[fishy_fiz]

I guess the thread title covers it.

Ive accidently over written v49 of wazp3d with v50 when downloading new version a few days ago, but unfortunately v50 doesnt work nearly as well for me on my amithlon box, either in terms of speed or rendering quality. If anyone could provide me with a working link of v49 Id be very greatful.

Thanks in advance.

Hello

>v50 doesnt work nearly as well for me on my amithlon box, either in terms of speed or rendering quality

Could you tell more ?
Each time i do my best to release a new version better than the old one...
But perhaps there is a compilation problem... (?!?)

About rendering quality : I dont have changed the rendering function so certainly it is only a Wazp3D-Prefs setting that have changed...

@Templario

Id very much appreciate that. Thank you.

I guess my choice of words wasnt great, but basically with v50 I get a heavily flickering image, redraws seem noticable, but on a diagonal from top left to bottom right (does this make sense)? V49 worked very nicely for me, with no such problems.
I also noticed that the prefernce options have changed. I cant recall what the option was called, but there used to be something to the effect of "use video ram directly". Unselectig this made a huge difference in performance for me (possibly because of modest ram speed on matrox g550+pci bus vs. dual channel ddr2 1066?).
This option no longer appears to be there, or at least is possibly renamed and placed elsewhere?

Id be greatful for any help you could give me for fine tuning wazp3d. Besides my current problems with v50 Ive really enjoyed using it and am quite impressed at the speed for software rendering with eye candy enabled (mipmapping, anti aliasing, image filters, etc.).

Thanks for your work and feel free to ask if there's anything I can do to help you bugfix it for a purely cpu rendered machine.

Option is renamed "renderer: soft to Image" in v50
else give me an email to send you v49

Ah, thank you for that. Not only has it sped things up, but it has also come close to fixing the image problems. I'll do a little more experimenting and let you know how I go and whether or not I still want v49. Despite a few extra gfx problems I have noticed stability appears to have increased. Payback used to crash quite often for me, which no longer appears the case.

Thanks again

Hello

I must admit it : there was a bug in Wazp3D 50 :-( (against v49)
Some progs got flickering: Payback, Engine & WarpTest (from Warp3D package) and also Descent
This typo bug  didnt change bitmap pointer if using yoffset (old double buffering)
This kind of double buffering is very rare so the bug dont affect much programs (only 4?)

Bug is fixed for next release v51...
@fishy_fiz
People that play payback can send me a mail to obtain fixed version

Whats required to use wazp as a kind of warp3d wrapper for a radeon w. hw.-acceleration?

Now this is an interesting question !
