Fix masking bug - Robin - 30-10-2009

Find:

Code:
DDSD_Temp.ddsCaps.lCaps = DDSCAPS_OFFSCREENPLAIN Or DDSCAPS_VIDEOMEMORY

Replace with:
Code:
DDSD_Temp.ddsCaps.lCaps = DDSCAPS_OFFSCREENPLAIN Or DDSCAPS_SYSTEMMEMORY

Video memory won't let you mask anything outside of the texture sizes limited by your video card, be it 512, 1024, 2048, 4086 etc. etc.

Was a bug in Silverdale I fixed a while ago.

Yes and don't auto determine best it always picks video memory.

But this cuts my fps almost in half.

System memory I get 175
Video Memory i get 300

Yeah, because 300 FPS is much more important than having a working map system.

If you use video memory you can just use small tile sheets...

Ya i guess you guys are right. I prolly should drop my fps for a working system.

Re: Fix masking bug - Robin - 02-11-2009

It's obvious Video Memory was used for a reason. It's much faster to access graphics which are stored in Video Memory.

There are much better ways you can increase your FPS, rather than fucking up one of your systems.

Ya okay just calm down. I think getting rid of some of this crap of my comp might be helpful
