PointSprites

SilverIce · July 20th, 2003

I recently download the cxbx bundled with PointSprites. However, when I fire up pointsprites in cxbx, I get a error: CreateTexture Failed. X-Marbles runs fine, and I am running this on 0.7.7b

Config

Win XP PRO
DirectX 9
Geforce 2 GO 32 MB
P3 1.1GHZ
256 MB RAM
... those are the important ones I think.
Anyways, and help would be greatly appriacted, as I wish to see this "Amazing Demo" for myself =)

Thanks,
SilverIce

My best guess is your video card does not support Point Sprites.... That is a pretty low quality and outdated video card.

Well, that should not be a problem, if the card doesn't support it nativley, then dx should do it in software, I'd say it has something to do with pro+sp1 or another program... And fastlance, if you dont have anything good to say, stop wasting your time here and run towards the hills were there are lots of sheep. Dont forget to wear a condom...

Thanks for all the help, yea, it is a old card, but top of the line circa 2001 =)

I tried running DX in software ref mode, but all I came up with is a black screen! oh well, I am getting a new desktop in the mail shortly, with a brand new spanking GeForce FX 5900 256 MB!
