DX8 ProQuake Testing

DirectBengt is now available for use (clicky).

Please post all feedback here rather than on my blog or in PMs as both Baker and myself need to know.

Whatever happened to the "dark days" of engine development when everything was super hard and everyone wanted things that seemed far, far out of reach?

Sometimes "things changing" is good.

DirectJoe and Dx8pro both get this on ALT-TAB in fullscreen on Vista with Direct9 (with whatever update that whatever DirectQ required).



But DirectBengt doesn't!

I think I'm gonna use whatever you did in that one for ProQuake, haha. Did you change something in there between DirectJoe and DirectBengt?

Final version of dx8pro400.

On some machines --- like my Vista one --- ALT-TAB in fullscreen has an issue getting an error message. On other machines, like my XP one it wants to trash the textures but I implemented a workaround to force a video mode restart which fixes it.

For some reason, MH's DirectBengt engine has neither of these issues but his DirectJoe engine, like ProQuake likewise on my Vista machine gets the error message.

Eventually whatever the secret sauce is in the DirectBengt engine will be in the dx8pro400 (but I didn't see anything looking through the DirectBengt source that was different??).

This version will find it's way into the ProQuake 4.00 Zeta version download when I get time to update that.

The above issues might end up being fixed in ProQuake 4.02. ProQuake 4.01 should be out later today with an integrated QuakeOne server browser feed that EFESS has been working with me on.
