Please Help I Want To Play This Mod

destructivedancer · November 2002

<div class="IPBDescription">..</div> when i connect to a ns server, it goes back to the select server screen and says "The selected OpenGl mode is not supported by your video card" I've unistalled it and tried to play my other mods but it keeps saying that. It never said this before i installed ns. Please help me! I want to play NS. I've reinstalled and says the same thing.

and it all happened when i installed ns.

destructivedancer · November 2002

ya, its seems so far everyones talking about how cool it is. Hopefully i can fix it.

TXBADBOY · November 2002

am i going to have to uninstall all of my hl stuff and reinstall everything?
I hope not, that would suck!

TXBADBOY · November 2002

i think i figured it out, go to the configuration and change from opengl to software at 400X300 res. and that should fix it.

Um I would <b>not</b> suggest doing that! First off, make sure your video drivers are fully updated, and even if they are, try re-installing them.

zoda · November 2002

It depends on wether you have half-life or counter-strike

do the following (applies for windows):

go to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM and click the file named Opengl32.dll, right click it and select copy. now go to
C:\Sierra\Counter-Strike\gldrv (for Counterstrike retail) or C:\Sierra\half-life\gldrv (half-life) and delete the opengl32.dll from there, right click and select paste, this should copy the opengl32.dll from windows/system to this location

now while still in the gldrv folder: double click drvmap and edit it to say only the following:
Default Default
3dfxgl.dll 3Dfx Mini Driver
gldrv/opengl32.dll GeForce 4

I did that and now OpenGL will run, however I am not sure if that is what fixed it.. If that doesnt work than I am not sure what to do (reinstall HL/cs maybe?)

that can be a problem if you dont want to lose maps though

What I did is take the opengl32.dll from my half-life thing and copied that into gldrv, but I dont see how the system folders version shouldnt work with it.

P.S. there is no natural selection folder named gldrv, it is a file for the main game.

I found this out by searching the counter-strike forums at the website and found someone who said to put that text in the drvmap text and another person in a totally different post saying that the opengl dll was probabaly messed and to replace it.

If you dont have any video card you may not be able to get opengl, just go to your counter-striek config and try direct3d or software mode.

good luck.

zoda · November 2002

oh and it may not be your drivers, the newest nvidia drivers didnt work right on my system,.

go to dxdiag in run and test direct3d and direct draw, both should work fine if your drivers are good. I needed to install NV32 over the 42 ones for it to work.. also it will say aprox. memory "_" MB and it should say how much your card really is... (most likely 32MB, 64MB or 128MB)

Dont trust the drivers at nvdia.com, they are beta and may have problems.. just go with whatever is on download.com

zoda · November 2002

sorry, I forgot one thing

you have to go into video mode in Half-life or Counter-strike, Natural-selection ro whatever you want to play and select the video mode's resolution and set it to "geforce 4" or whatever you wrote in the drvmap.txt after "gldrv/opengl32.dll"

BitchSL4P · November 2002

Have you tried running it in Direct3D?

Thansal · November 2002

TY Slappy

look, if you have an issue with one type of driveras, try the other ones

btw, zoda as a side note, generaly use the edit post button if you have things you forgot (justb/c it makes things nicer)

MonsieurEvil · November 2002

Have you ever run games in OpenGL previously? The NS installation attempts to set you up with OpenGL to prevent you from running Software Video mode by accident (which is not supported). If you have a an older 3D accelerator card, you may be forced to use D3D.

nate · November 2002

Read the error message. ITS NOT SUPPORTED. meaning your software or hardware is NOT up to date.
if u set your HL to use software mode, your fps will drop dramatically because this uses your cpu.
update your drivers and then select opengl using the Default setting.
