in vid_ext.c Its best to have the Palette work done by the VGA method not the SVGA interrupt (which fails….)

change

vesa_modes[nummodes].setpalette = VID_SetVESAPalette;
to
vesa_modes[nummodes].setpalette = VGA_SetPalette;

So now if I jump into the LAVA on start.bsp then re-spawn my world isn’t red shifted… And I’ve tested with Virtual PC 2007 sp1, and I have all kinds of awesome SVGA modes, and best of all is that they work!!!!

Yeah more & more updates, and of course the laundry list here… http://www.inside3d.com/qip/q1/qfix.htm

Haha, too bad it was all related to something entirely unrelated. Gotta update your post now to say it connects properly to all servers that you’re aware of.

Also, just be sure to raise MAX_SOUNDS and MAX_MODELS from 256 to 1024 and our codebases are the same as far as I’m concerned.

In reply to Frank.

In OS/2 I do it this way…. oddly enough directly manipulating the hardware…. 🙂

void VID_SetPalette (unsigned char *palette)
{
int i;
int shiftcomponents;

shiftcomponents=2;
_outp8(0x3c8,0);
for(i=0;i<768;i++)
_outp8(0x3c9,palette[i]>>shiftcomponents);
}

Any clues on the palette issues?
