Dawn Sleeps With ATI - Radeon R3x0 Dawn OpenGL Wrapper

stimpee said:
I did this:

1. Downloaded Dawn
2. Downloaded the opengl wrapper (v1.01 i think)
3. Put the opengl wrapper and a copy of my atioglxx.dll in the Dawn bin folder (i think i used Cat3.6 ogl)
4. Enjoy!

You dont need a patch, and I wonder what is in the 26mb(!!!!) patch when all you need to do is rename the fairy.exe to quake3.exe and 3dmark03.exe to get the nudie girly...

Actually the 'patch' is more of a Menu program. When you run it, it brings up a screen where you can toggle different options such as nudity, nvidia logo, background, sound, buttons, wings, custom music, hair colour, skin colour, front tattoos, back tattoos, eye colour, resolution, video card (ATI/nVidia), etc.

You can then launch Dawn or Ultra Dawn from there. It is easy to make changes on the fly. It is pretty cool, and more than a patch. That is the reason it is 25mb.

I think it's rather amusing that they (NV) says it needs 512MB system ram - and for the 'ultra' version..well..the Gefart Ultra has 256 MB video mem.

Now...i have a Radon 9800 and i am running the ogl wrapper (which is supposed to have some overhead)...i only have 384MB ram and my card has only 128MB....but i can run the ultra demo fine in 1368x1026, 4xAA, 16xAniso...like in the 32fps range :) Their system reqs are totally off :)

I have to say tho (even if i go w/ ATI for years now) that (from a marketing/PR) point of view it was/is just a good idea to come up with such a demo..because what sells more than scandily glad girls/fairies etc ? :P :P :P
On the other hand then a blow to Nvidia that the demo runs better on ATI h/w....kinda amusing....same with the Matrox Reef demo which i run like a charm here.

I just think it's funny if the myth is true that dawn actually originated from an 'internal' nvidia entertainment program...like some geeks progged a stripping girl....rumor is that there is/was a very naughty internal version around. Therefore you can see dawn naked if you leave out the rendereing of the leaves etc....it's all there..you dont even need an additional patch...the option for the nude dawn is already in the prog. Still amuses me :)

Btw. the additional 'patch'..i found another alternative link to d/l it's
Dawn Nude Patch and some additional options
So i could d/l it other than from that retarded gamershell server.

Re: Dawn Sleeps With ATI - Radeon R3x0 Dawn OpenGL Wrapper

I put the opengl32.dll in the bin folder of the dawn demo but demo doesnt work . I writes : This program requires an NVIDIA GeforceFX-class GPU or better tu run. Unsupported features: NV_point_sprite

Can u help me how to solve it.
Thanks

The both args files are signes read only, DX9, omega catalysts 3.10, win xp sp1 en

You need a copy of atioglxx.dll from an older version of the Catalysts. NV_point_sprite is no longer supported by ATi. There were some download options earlier in this thread. Just copy it into the bin folder and it should work fine.
 
This is beautiful. That "sad" expression has really made me feel... like... sad. Really. Amazing.

BTW, my 9600PRO oced to 475/752 gets something near 55 fps on the non ultra demo. Is that good, considering my 2800+ processor?

The ultra gets around 15 fps, it´s very very heavy.

EDIT: ultra runs at ~22 fps.

AA: off
AF: 16x
other settings: highest

Res: defaults.

Has anyone been able to get the Dusk or Dusk Ultra demos to work on an ATI yet? They look pretty interesting and I was wondering why the wrapper wouldn't work for them.
 
Followed all the instuctions and it does not work :(

I still get an error saying a feature is not supported "NV_Point_Sprit" which I thought the other download was suppost to fix.....:(

Never mind does not support Win98SE apprently :mad:

still using win98? LOL

Yea like the 70% of PC windows users. Why do you think they extended support till 2006?

Not that it matters Iam getting XP soon anyway and will be able to enjoy it then :)

I doubt 70% of computers these days are using Win98. As somebody who works in tech support and deals with people's computer problems everyday, i can tell you that number is much much lower now... especially home computers.

Ah was quoting some stupid news channel(hell they can't even get the damn weather right :lol: ). However allot of people still use Win98SE. Hell why do you think they extended support?

But yea I would have to agree %70 is probably a little high considering all new computers come with WinXP and that you can't buy Win98SE in a retail store anymore.

But I have a new HD(Seagate 7200.7 120gb 8mb) sitting right beside me thats going to get WinXP on it. So no biggie for me really :)

yes maybe alot of poor 3rd world countries use Win98, hell even some busineses still use Win95 (my work does!) but the average gamer will not be stupid enough to be using Win98 still.........

People right here at Rage3D and pretty much every message board around has Win98SE users still. And most gamers like Win98SE because it works with older games unlike WinXP :\

Anyway back on topic. Anyone mind posting some pics of the dawn demo on ATi hardware :)

You tease. It didn't work, unless I misunderstood all the gobbledygook you have written in your post.
