UT players, Check this out: Radeon running it in high resolution with the st3c textures

Screenshots Here

I think they are beautiful. Only problem I think is that it is too dark compared to Direct3D.

Please post feedback or any other comments.

If you want any pictures or requests for another map. Let me know, but I am on a dial up and its takes a a while to upload those huge pics. Also, especially current Geforce owners, I want to know what you think. I used to own a GTS 2 64 mb and don't remember how good it looked when running UT ...

Are the Radeon's license to use s3tc.... just kidding.

Very nice pics. I'll have to remember those settings.

I agree they do look darker than on my monitor, but I was just glancing over my son's shoulder before I came into work. I might get a chance to check it tommorrow. Nice shots!

WOW! I can't wait till mine gets here tomorrow. I am an avid UT player and I have been sticking with my Vood00 3 b/c I was under the impression that Glide was better for UT (have been set straight now). But after looking at those screens looks like I was REALLY wrong!

Thanks.. Here is a older screen shot I posted a while back of Tactical Ops (UT Realism Mod) I really like how the fans look in this screenshot.

Also I uploaded the OpenGLDrv.dll in case anyone needed it.

Welcome to 1998.

So if I get a radeon (should be here soon) I can play UT with the hi res textures? That's pretty damn sweet.

Thanks for the screenshots, but does anyone have links to what this is all about? I've been a glide user for the last few years so I'm a bit out of it.

There is a good read about it at game basement.
how amazing the game can look when it was hacked to run in OpenGL mode with S3TC support

Also, the GeForce cards can do this as well. No dice with 3dfx cards.
Switching from a 3dfx Glide card to a GF2 GTS card with this mod, and the improvement was Unreal. Makes the 3dfx glide look and feel like a S3 Virge 3D card in comparison.

Ahh, another 3dfx user emerges from the fog. Welcome back Shudder!

Great to be back.. well, almost

The screenshots definitely tell the tale, and I will definitely be trying it. I don't even play UT anymore but I may just to gawk.

Sweet, but those framerates are way too slow. That card must definitely choke when the action gets hot. I hope Radeon 2 can match GF3.
