OW Test

[stucuk]

I'm wondering if people could test the attached EXE in their OW Directory and tell me if it works or not. Its an application designed to work out which Renderer you should be using based on your Windows version and OpenGL version.

Currently it will not change any settings but the plan is to make it run once when you first run original war, giving the user the option to use the recommended renderer or stick with the currently selected one. Basically its to try and get Steam users that never bother looking at the settings to use OpenGL (Especially ones which complain about OW on Windows 8 ).

It should only recommend Direct Draw if your OS is below Windows 2000 or OpenGL is below 2.0 . It should display a warning if your OS is windows 7, 8 or 10 about Direct Draw's compatibility.

P.S It only knows the main Windows names, so it will for example class Windows Server 2008 as Windows Vista.

OpenGL 3.0 - I had complete black menu screen, just music has played.
OpenGL 2.1 - Very messed up colors, only ingame screen (not interface) was quite ok
DD - works fine as I'm using it all the time

What graphics card? What does 2.1 renderer look like?

You need the shaders. Thats what it looks like if you don't have the shaders or there is a shader error (If there was an error it would show it in a messagebox).

There should be a folder in the Original War directory called shaders which contain files named font, main and quad (With vglsl and fglsl extensions).

I have an 850M in my laptop so its nothing to do with the Graphics Card.

P.S I have tested it and if the shaders do not exist you will get what you described.

EDIT: I have attached the shaders so you don't need to install a patch.

Yes seems it's working correctly with them.

Rule 1: Never trust any files you download even from me. Always run anti virus on them.
Rule 2: Never trust a single Anti-Virus application. They get it wrong alot (Ow has been flagged multiple times as a virus by certain AV software). If you get a positive from one use something like Jotti's Online Virus Scanner or Virus Total to check against multiple anti-viruses.
