[Guide] Median XL 2.0 with D2DX: New Glide wrapper

[momope]

Every thing was working ok that I tried, except HD textures blocks clicking the create game button in the lobby.

D2GL just added support for d2FPS which is the motion smoothing in D2DX. D2GL is more up to date and has way more features than D2DX.

I tried D2GL, but it ran very choppily and the smoothing did not work at all. Whereas this one just works perfectly for me right out of the box.

Few extra steps for D2DX smoothing.

Trying on new PC, I get this error. I've tried setting the nocompatmodefix=true in d2dx-defaults.cfg. Trying to create a desktop shortcut with -glide just launches into direct2d mode. Not sure what else to try.



D2DX detected that 'compatibility mode' (e.g. for Windows XP) was set for the game, but this isn't necessary for D2DX and will cause problems.
Please disable 'compatibility mode' for both 'Game.exe' and 'Diablo Il.exe'.

-3dfx -dxnoresmod fixes, just like the first post says

You have newer versions of D2DX, by Jarcho for example, anyway.

You are supposed to rename d2dx-defaults.cfg to d2dx.cfg !

Otherwise changes you do to .cfg file won't have any effect.

When running via game exe shortcut, correct parameter is -3dfx, not glide.

Can I play with d2FPS online on ladder?

You mean d2fps by Jarcho ?

Since it is an addition to d2dx/d2gl and since both can be used already, I see no reason why d2fps wouldn't be.

For anyone trying to use this, it no longer works with 2.10 it seems. As soon as I try to create a game the game crashes, Texalic recommended using jarcho d2dx on github instead and that worked.
You just have to make sure to change the config file and set noresmod to true and nocompatmodefix to true and when launching the game you can actually use the launcher, using settings for glide and unofficial graphics drivers glide3x.dll.



you can use alt+enter to switch from windowed to a real borderless windowed that works. if you have a 2nd monitor your mouse can move to it playing like this, if you don't want that, you might have to play with something else or change some settings I dunno. This is just how I play since I dislike playing diablo 2 in 16:9 res.

Just use the MXL version of D2GL which is also mentioned in the wiki tutorial..
