3D Vision Fix by mike_ar69
**UPDATE
The latest version of XR (from 2.1 onwards) is now a 64bit executable. For the current fix to work at all (e.g. the hud etc) you need to use the 64bit helix DLL found here:-
- https://s3.amazonaws.com/-HeliX-/DllsModPack.zip
and then look in this folder:
- dlls->release-x64->d3d9.dll
This worked for me in testing.
NOTE: the SLI fix is still not updated since an earlier game update broke it. Since they are still making major fixes to this game all the time, I am not keen on wasting my time just yet. However, this 64 bit update was easy to rectify for now.
You can currently remove the stuff that renders incorrectly in SLI by either (a) setting shaders to "low", or (b) using the "legacy shaders" option. Option (a) looks much better though.
Fixed - Current version v3.4
- Can now change convergence to higher values and the cockpit remains in place
- Provided two hotkey settings (key "9") for convergence (outside the cockpit)
- Provided Toggle (key "0") to show and hide cockpit - this allows even higher convergence and is nice to fly around and look at the universe unimpeded.
- Added extra toggle key (key "8") to enable or disable the hud fixes so it does not affect walking around when landed
- Added toggle key "7" to toggle the hud (markers etc) on and off when the cockpit has been disabled for a completely 'clean' screen. Also turns off the round cross-hair. Does *not* turn off the mouse cursor.
- Provided a separate depth setting for markers and info icons.
- Provided a fix for SLI users that may be experiencing lighting rendering issues (yellow environmental lighting that is turned on with medium or high shaders)
v3.4
- Added toggle key "7" to toggle the hud (markers etc) on and off when the cockpit has been disabled for a completely 'clean' screen. Also turns off the round cross-hair. Does *not* turn off the mouse cursor.
v3.3
- Extended the key "8" to make the markers and icons a bit closer for when walking around, and also set the convergence back to a low value so it's tolerable (in case a high value had been used for flying around and was forgotten about).
v3.2
- Fixed loading screen issue
- Fixed minor issue where planet texture was missing when toggling the cockpit off...
- Fixed the defaults for 'fix on/off' and 'cockpit toggle on/off' to be 'on' and 'off' respectively.
Notes
** Walking around on stations - you need to use the low convergence (0.602) toggle, or press the "8" key to disable the cockpit fix.
** It seems the issue with the Mouselook has come back when landing at stations. I've tried lots of DLLs but they all have the same issue. The one that fixed it in v2 prevents the hotkeys from working for the cockpit. It works with keyboard and controller.
- I provide separate installers for the SLI fix and no-SLI fix.
- The approach to 'lock down' the cockpit currently has it fixed and 0.602-ish. This puts the cockpit steering wheel thing just out of screen depth. I did not provide a toggle to change this to higher depth.
- I was unable to separate dialog text from other text in the game. Sorry.
- Menus are currently still at depth. For whatever reason I can't seem to isolate the textures for the info icons or the menus...
- Using the key "8" toggle can get confusing if used in conjunction with keys "9" for changing separation, and key "0" for toggling the cockpit view on and off, since it disables both operations of correcting convergence and toggling the cockpit.
Outstanding
- The mouse cursor is still at screen depth. I am looking at this, and if it can be fixed I will do so.
- If anyone can work out why the mouselook is so flakey that would be great. I noted on Egosoft forums that it seems to be an issue with the game even in 2D for some people, so I am going to wait until Egosoft have a fixed a few more bugs.
