How do I run OpenGL on SRB2?

[Gaaradude6969]

It would be very helpful if someone told me.

 

[Rob]

srb2win -opengl

 

[Shuffle]

Or use the launcher found on srb2.org and check the "OpenGL" box.

 

[Gaaradude6969]

I get that "run time error-53 filr not found" message

 

[I'll Begin]

Put launcher in SRB2 folder.

Question for this

What is GL Mode for?

 

[Vic Fox]

It has shadowing, nice lighting and a bunch of other stuff I'm too tired to renember.

 

[Shuffle]

The lighting is nicer, it runs faster on computers with graphics cards, it looks nicer, overall (debatable), it has support for 3D models, it has fog support, and it is unsupportedkthxbye. In SRB2JTE/PrettySRB2/ShufflarB2, it has sprite shadows.

So yeah. Download the SRB2 Netgame Launcher, put it inside your SRB2 folder, open it, go into Main Options, find and click on OpenGL, and click on RUN!.


Another long way to do it is to create a Batch file to open SRB2 instantly with any options that you want. To make one, open your Notepad from the Start -> Programs -> Accessories menu, paste this in:

srb2win.exe -opengl

Save it as srb2opengl.bat inside your SRB2 folder as well, and open it.
