Army Men RTS bright issue with Dd7to9

[SAM1430B]

Hi,

The game looks like brighter than it should be.

Not sure if there are better settings or i'm messing something and i've tried all the options and it seems the problem still there.

I have copied ddraw.dll and dxwrapper.dll & .ini .

Thank you for your efforts and this awesome project.

Can you upload the dxwrapper log file?

[SAM1430B]

Sure thing.

Try with this update and let me know if you see any difference: dxwrapper.zip

[SAM1430B]

Yeah thank you, i've got better result.

i'm gonna test Dd7to9 combined with DDrawCompat next week and post a report.

Have a good night✨

Ok, very good. I am glad it is working better.

BTW: DDrawCompat cannot be combined with Dd7to9.

I said next week but time flies so fast lol. Anyway after long play test it was flawless getting 60fps which is the most part i like. Except the smoke/dust look more dense.

Also i wanted to set a windowed screen with 1920x1080 size (which the game doesn't support it) tried DdrawOverrideWidth/Height seems making black frame rather than a stretched window, even DdrawCustomWidth/Height and DdrawClippedWidth/Height they seem not effecting anything.

Great. Very good.

This could be because I have not added MipMap support.

Yeah, those options are mainly for 2D games. I have not updated them for 3D games yet. It is not a high priority for me at this time. I am trying to finish the implementation of all DirectDraw/Driect3D functions first.

Cool, we wish the best and everything goes smoothly.

I added MipMap support. See if this fixes the smoke/dust issue: dxwrapper.zip

[SAM1430B]

Seemed to be darker and smoke/dust issue still there.

[elishacloud]

That dark issue is a MipMap issue. I guess it is an autogen issue. I need to collect some logs. Can you use the below build and send me the logs?

dxwrapper.zip

[SAM1430B]

Sure as you wish.
dxwrapper-amrts.log.txt

[elishacloud]

That is weird. I am not seeing any of the new logs. Did you run the game long enough to see the issue? Can you try with this one? Make sure you play the game long enough to see any issue.

You're right it wasn't long play.
I wish this would be what you want.

Ok, I think this one should fix the dark issue: dxwrapper.zip

[elishacloud]

This should fix everything in this game except the resizing. There is another issue on that already.

[SAM1430B]

Yes, except these two issues which one of them you're already going to add it (Resizing) in the future ✨.
