Okay, use_shaders = no fixed it. I KNEW it was something with my brain XD
There was something about the shaders for nvidia cards in the release notes and I totally forgot about it. What a waste of time  :x
Thanks for the tip.
 
Hey guys, just a question about bloom. I basically get some light lines behind my text with bloom on. I really like the shader, but is there a way to edit the bloom2.post to get rid of the lines behind the text? Here's a screenie to show you what I mean.

Nope. The bloom shader is a post-processing effect, meaning it's applied after the frame is completely rendered. There's no way to exclude menu items from being affected.
 
Hi guys :) Been a while since I been here, the other computer I had finally crapped out on me and I now have a brand new one! :D I'm now able to use Aali's driver with no problem, although I do have a question about using multiple mods with it. Where I put the modpath at, how do I make it use multiple mods? I'm wanting to use DLP's Menu Mod with Felix's field enhancement mod, but I don't know how to make it use both. Do I separate it with comma's; Such as modpath= DK, Felix's Mod Here, Random mod etc etc? What do I do?
 
When you install the Menu Overhaul project it will create the mod path for you. Be sure to read the readme for the Menu Overhaul. For Felix's enhancements the png's go in the respected folders in the mods/dk path. battle or field. Also check out Omzy's field enhancement mod for really nice looking field scenes. Have fun!
 
I'm sorry, there is no such file path in the DK file. Should I make it myself? Also, the "Felix's enhanced graphics" option for the menu overhaul, is that the same mod as I was speaking about?
 
if there isn't a battle or field folder in the dk folder just create one and put em in there. In the menu overhaul i'm not sure exactly what is included from Felix. Check the overhaul thread.
 
As a suggestion... i'm asking if you can add a "Scanline" option, like ePSXe emulator video plugin. I'm pretty sure i'm the only one who wanted this but if it possible, it'll be great (for me at least) ...

I would imagine something like that could be done with a pixel shader if someone was willing to write it.
 
It absolutely could be done.

Although personally I'd be more interested to see a full-on CRT shader, but converting it to plain GLSL from whatever the hell bsnes uses might be difficult. I nagged someone (I think it was Aali) into giving it a shot with an older version of that CRT shader, but it flat out didn't work right and looked ugly as sin.
 
@Kyu: How would I go about making the game use those files? I don't want to have to download PS just to use it.
 
I read the guy who had the same problem as I did and need to know how I can get it to stop displaying these textures.

hi
when i use post-processing shader i get too much light on my screen
i read some post that seems have the same problem with geforce cards but i have ati 4300 should i use advise of xion999? (replace nolight folder with usual one? in page 1 of this thread)

sorry i couldnt read all this pages to find my answer
thanks

edlit: i used that advise but it didnt change anything screan is just too bright

Hey Aali, any word on if the shaders issue with nVidia cards will ever be fixed? It's a driver issue for them, but it looks like they aren't ever going to fix it :(
 
Its already fixed. Instead you should be asking when the next release will be out. If we're lucky it might be done in january.
 
Oh, awesome. Any other awesome features coming this version?
 
I got something interesting coming up but I can't promise anything yet.
