Antialaising, please!!

[foq]

How about an option for antialaising? I'm sure how many of us would find it useful. Both LordHavoc and R00k were able to implement anisotropic filtering, I'm sure antialaising can be impleneted in much the same way.

//My shitty x1800 won't let me use any engine other than Winquake, but come tomorrow Rocketguy and Joao won't be albe to laugh at me anymore for using Winquake. New video card

[=peg=]

just use ur video driver to enable it..

The engine coders must have had a reason when they implemented anisotropic filtering. It's possible some people don't have an option to enable it in video drivers (Intel integrated graphics people, onboard GPU users??), although I've always used a video card.

And just what framerate do you plan on getting with an onboard card and antialiasing?

In Quake? Unless you have all QMB effects enabled with the pretty textures, or in Darkplaces using RT world, pretty decent framerates.

//Another thought to throw out there: everything in Quake is being made newber friendly. I doubt that someone who doesn't fully understand instructions on how to extract contents of either Qrack or Darkplaces to thier Quake folder is going to know how to enable Antialaising in thier video card drivers. Most newbers install quake, either Qrack or Darkplaces and turn on the pretty effects within the menu, and (generally) these types of people don'
t understand what "enable antialaising in the video drivers" means.

//maybe make the option say Screen Smoothing (Antialaising)??

No comment.

EDIT:

I'm for performance of faithful look on modern hardware.

Performance? My 5200 Ultra ran Quake fine with 8xAA/8xAF, and that's with 512MB value ram and a 2GHz celeron.
