Guide Glide Wrapper

Not gonna lie, I was hoping for the Glide to allow me to play in fullscreen, but it didn't.
I couldn't care less for whether it's windowed or not, tbh, it's not the client being windowed that bothers me. Apparently, D2 doesn't use D3D in Windowed mode, but uses GDI instead, which not only disables Perspective mode, but also screws up graphics pretty badly (especially lights).
It just sucks that this game is so outdated and so unstable.

 

When ever I open my inventory or quest or stat screen my mouse goes to top left. I know it is not a big problem but it is kind a annoying. Is there any fix for that?

 

Rand, thanks so much this explanation really helped, my only question is, my Glide init doesn't have the supersampling box, and it sounds like that's the one setting I am really looking for, everything else is working great. Does anyone know how to get this option to show up or why its not there? Thanks!

 

I have a problem, its work but maphack make error, and too when i exit game too... glide3dx error

 

Solved, ty Gix!

 

Hello, Thanks in advance for your help. I can't find the d2vidtst.exe anywhere. I ran a search and it didn't come up with anything. It's a fresh install of everything as well already.

 

Hi I am getting this error while using glide with full screen.
Any idea to fix?
thx

 

Hi...hope this is the right place to post....so I'm using 3dfx from the launcher...but the cursor always snaps to upper left corner of the game when pressing inventory key,quest key,entering waypoint,etc....how to disable this?

 

Not sure if it is relevant: windows has built-in support to enlarge a window (a simple double click on the window's header). The large window gets into the center and keeps aspects ratio. Works in windowed mode with 2d graphics, does not demand anything to install.

 

a little bit modern config for glide wrapper






step one is to change language than get opengl infos





usually those are the default settings in the render menu after getting the opengl infos with a good pc nowadays


those are the default settings in the extensions menu after getting the opengl infos with a good pc nowadays




those are the settings for playing in fullscreen with no black bars


keep aspect ratio enables the black bars at lower resolution in game compared to your original that monitor supports

for example
screenshot with black bars



screenshot without the option keep aspect ratio for the black bars


using widescreen tool from europebattle.net site adds new resolution where it doesnt matter which option you choose either (black bars option doesn't makes difference in game only in the main menu with the widescreen mod)



playing the game windowed or fullscreen-windowed at any time by using alt+enter either to maximize or minimize the window size

 

my custom settings for glide I am also using the widescreen tool (be aware wgl_arb_render_texture at extension menu must be disabled if you going to stream and you should run game in windowed as well as window capturing your game)

settings menu


render menu


extension menu you need to enable those two options and relaunch glide
wgl_arb_render_texture will add a new option for supersampling in renderer menu


supersampling in renderer menu

those are 2 screenshots with supersampling enabled and disabled


NO SUPERSAMPLING



SUPERSAMPLING ENABLED


you can disable wgl_arb_render_texture (it will also disable the superssampling) whenever you want if you gonna stream you just need to relaunch the game if you are changing options in glide


options for clock and framerate as well as texturemass to be shown in game can be found in wrapper statistics


-3dfx my settings vs ddraw also my settings I am using 6xbrz currently settings for ddraw can be found here Info - Launcher Options -ddraw OpenGL Shaders | EuropeBattleNet Community Forum
I am using both one is with -3dfx when I want to join a game because BH maphack doesn't let me join a game using ddraw




besides that there is also one more way for launching the game and playing at fullscreen windowed using the regular -w with a tool called fullscreenizer its also on github but im not using it ,I use the one from original site of the program Fullscreenizer (runtimeterror.com)
1. run as administrator


2. open diablo which you are running with -w command

3. select refresh in fullscreenizer while in game (not menu) and choose your diablo.exe which you are running in -w mode than fullscreenize
4. dont close the program because every time you go back to menu it will reset to normal size you need to fullscreenize every single time you join a game


screenshot with fullscreenizer

you dont need to refresh fullscreenizer every single time you just click fullscreenize when joining new game
