Terrain Demo

Here's a terrain demo for you:

It's my first demo using DX8, so please let me know if everything
works ok. If it doesn't run, look in the data directory for a
file called error.log.

Pretty darn good. I am looking at creating a similar terrain demo. I had to turn the fog off to see anything, but once I did I was getting ~85fps. You should try decreasing your tesselation and increase your clipping distance. It is nice to see long distances.
I was running:
cel 466, 128mb ram, rage fury pro 32mb vid card, 4 internet explorer windows open.
Nice demo!

Nice.
The demo initially starts up with a far distance of 125m with fog
enabled, because these are the fastest settings.
But, if you have a fast machine, like a P3-500 or better, you can
toggle on the skybox background and increase the far distance to
500m to get a better view. This will let you see the multi-texturing
detail on the hills a bit better as well.

It wouldn't run on my computer. I have:
Pentium 166 MHz
S3 Virge (Primary)
Voodoo2 1000 PCI (Secondary)
48 MB of RAM
It said in the 'error.log':
Failed: CreateDevice - D3DDEVTYPE_HAL (D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE)
Failed: Init_D3D
Init_Error: Shutdown successful
What's wrong?
P.S. Where did you get those tree graphics?

Maybe you don''t have DX8?

Need help? Well, go FAQ yourself.

I''m hazarding a guess... But I''d say that the terrain demo is trying to create a Hardware 3D device on the primary display device, which is not the Voodoo2 in this gentleman''s case. Right now I''m messing around with my own initialization code to make sure it never happens... Perhaps you can help me test it once it''s ready.

Very impressive! I wish I could do that. My landscape demo didn''t have any textures, no car, no trees etc. Well I gotta start somewhere.
DeShawn,
The demo tries to create a HAL device using your default driver
under DX8, and if it can''t, it won''t run. It seems your S3 Virge
card does not support HAL. But, do you know if the V2 1000 supports
HAL under DX8?
My DX init code doesn''t look for more than one 3D card, but I can
try to fix this.
btw, some of the graphics come from the DX8 media directory.
