well, I would suggest to burn a CD with the D3D5 patches, well, all the stuff that is explained in the "How to install POD" section of this Forum ... well maybe in the French forum :)

Using BL3 is really a pain ... but if you want to use BL4, you will also need either a recent 3D board (with 3D acceleration), either a 3Dfx ...

I played pod in D3D5 5 years ago... and for computers, 5 years is already another age ! ;-)

I just meant that my old ATI Xpert@Work did not have those 3D facilities ... and well, it is just 56 years old :) 3Dfx were really needed at that time :)

hallo,

i tell my friend what you say. he say he will not play bl4, because he like bl3 and he say to, that to me i had to chance the background in my track. he will see the background of veitland.bl3, but that's a big problem. on witnessteam's site there are only the textures of bl4. in the veitland bl3, who i played lots of years, the background look's very better than in bl4. does everyone know if it is possible to export the background of veitland.bl3 in a 256-bmp.

i need your help.

waiting for your solution

Well first of all, all images in POD are .tga format, and all of these are available at witnessteams website.

Second, If he wont play with Bl4 hes missing out.

Third, why the hell do you keep coming back here with a different name each week? Do you think your going to get a different answer?

mmmh I don't think this is your first day here cause you said in your first post that you had a "self-made track"... Therefore I assume you used some tools to achieve this and these tools are only available here :keskidi:

8) I think your friend is talking about not being able to see the sun flare, Am I wrong on that?. I experienced the same problem long time ago, so I installed Voodoo2 to boost the textures and then I switched to a V5 card altogether.

The problem is within the type of 3D card he might be using which I suspect is not a 3DFX. :Sikliiissstttt: When you update to BL4 format using the 24mb patches the textures get a little degraded. If he switches to a 3DFX card the background will remain very sharp if not better.

:idea: I guess your friend's choice or (yours) is to get at least a Voodoo2 to boost the textures.

:glandhal: The questions to your friend or you shall be: Does he want nice looking backgrounds with old BL3 format and very few tracks? Does he really want to miss racing all those tracks that run on BL4? And also future tracks?.

:keskidi: I'm wondering one thing. What does not having "Internet" have anything to do with? Be a good friend and just burn a CD for your friend as suggested by Grokon.

Hallo (y a quelqu'un au bout du fil? ;) ),

I need help for my worst friend, because he has a 2400bps modem. he cannot play pod, even with BL0 files, and want to play my track(my track is actually only in my head). He has try all patches from ubi-site, but always get the same error when he launch them (no pod program found). Is there a chance to connect his joystick on my head to play my track :?:

Can someone help me (oops, can someone help my friend ;) )

How to ask it in another topic if you post for the first time :?:

forest have been convert in bl4, can you explain me
Yes, Yes :D I've use a Hexa editor and some delphi line code, that's all :mrgreen:
how to export the cool background of the bl3-track
Wait, wait and wait, because i've lost the program used for this. I'm writing a new one (more general), but don't have enough time for now.

:arrow: hi skubidou, i mean, that i have asked the same in an other topic!


if you can say me if this program, that you have used is ready, it would be nice when you inform me! i am waiting with my friend for that some years now, we have tested very much to make a program to convert bl3 to bl4 tracks, but there are always errors


with the other program, i don't have hasty. when you make it then, it would be nice, it you say me that in a topic.
I would be pleased really much

You said that you find BL3 background better than the BL4 one? Beuark :wc:

I hope i haven't made error in my program (first export of the BL3 gave me a blue mountain, i had inverse Red and Blue :cry: )

Skubidou:~

P.S.: Don't ask background of other track, because this exportation is not automatic at this time, and i needed to make some search manually, so i will not extract all background like this.
