[Genesis3D] Textures with black color become transparent when it shouldn't. #299

Closed rtxa closed 1 month ago

rtxa commented 1 month ago

Games that use the old Genesis3D engine which has a D3D renderer (DX6 or 7 if I'm not wrong) has an issue where textures with black colors are getting transparent when it shouldn't.

I'm using DXWrapper with DDrawCompat enabled to fix a FPS-drop when this type of text is displayed (This can be enabled from the menu by pressing Esc -> Opciones -> Estadisticas FPS).

Game tested

Hoowaday (made with Entidad 3D game-maker) Download link (10mb compressed): http://www.comunidad-e3d.com/des/13/35/hoodaway/des

How to reproduce

  1. Extract the game in some folder.
  2. Extract required DXWrapper files (ddraw.dll, dxwrapper.dll and dxwrapper.ini) into Hoowaday folder (where Entidad3D.exe is located).
  3. Run Start.bat to start the game. Select D3D driver renderer with 800x600 windowed resolution.
  4. Press ESC to skip the intro. Movements keys are ESDF instead of WASD. Go to the bathroom and see how the floor is transparent, look yourself into the mirror and the character is transparent in some parts.

Thanks for reading and hope you can help me with this.

Looks like a bug in DDrawCompat. I have included three versions of DDrawCompat in here: v2.0, v2.1 and v3.2. You can try all three versions.

Note: I don't plan on adding newer versions in here or updating those existing versions. Maybe newer versions of DDrawCompat have fixed the issue.

Closing issue. Please contact the author of DDrawCompat if the latest version of his tool on his GitHub site doesn't work.
