Title: Antialiasing in NVil
Post by: rubberDuck on March 28, 2019, 06:24:40 pm: Hi IStonia,
Do you think it would be possible to add various antialiasing options inside the program?Like an on/off switch and a selection of preset samples perhaps?
SlimDX seems to support it: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12351424/enabling-antialising-in-slimdx-d3d9 (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12351424/enabling-antialising-in-slimdx-d3d9)

My overall impression is much better than the one I had with Wine's SampleCount, which I mentioned in the Linux thread (http://digitalfossils.com/nvil-forum//index.php?topic=4451.25 (http://digitalfossils.com/nvil-forum//index.php?topic=4451.25)), because it does not make the HUD text blurry.

Thanks.

Multisample Quality doesn't affect anything and is always reset to 0 (I'm not sure what it supposed to do anyway).

Post by: IStonia on November 16, 2019, 08:48:13 am: I don't know what Multisample Quality does either. If it is reset to 0 that means your graphic card only support 0 level quality for that particular Multisample type.
