Carmageddon TDR 2000 - directx problem
Carmageddon TDR 2000 - directx problem
I searched online and found you have to set MIP Filter to None. Okay... But I don't have a mip filter in my advanced options D:
This is what I have: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/809/jmhkljhk.png/
Another solutions was to turn off the fog... I don't have that in-game either D:
The patch someone suggested doesn't work it says it's not compatible with my version of windows (Win7 64 bit)
Help :(
----
So basically the window is too narrow to show the options I need :(
I even got a software that stretches any window, but the options also get stretched >:|

Oh. You figured it out. That's so weird. Tell you what, I'll... *gulp* re-install mine, I'll change the settings, and I'll throw you the config file.
EDIT: Got it. Now, I can't give you mine because it has a lot of graphic options specific to my machine and whatnot, and I'm sure it'd explode if I gave you my config file. So here's what you need to do:
Go to the game's folder, and open TDR2000.gfx with a text editor. Go to line 74, which is roughly halfway through, and you'll see the line "2,2,2". The final "2" is the mip filter. Change that 2 to a 0 and you're all set.
Oh, and if you need pixel fog disabled (which is the only fog-related option I could find), go to line 72 and you'll see "2d,d5". Change that "2d" to a "9", and there you go.

Maybe we should compile a set of troubleshooting solutions for everything Carma somewhere, maybe on the wiki...

Try again if needed. If it still doesn't work, try reinstalling the game, and make sure you're using the most recent versions of DirectX and such...
I don't think TDR works very nicely nowadays (not even with the MAX-Pack)

So what? TDR 2000 sucks anyway, is that excuse enough?

Unless it's a legal torrent, we shouldn't have links. Besides, it takes just a couple of seconds to manually search for pirated games anyway.

I've done this and saved the edits but the error message still pops up when I try and do a mission. Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated because I just LOVE the Carmageddon franchise and would like to play this game before the launch of Reincarnation.Espyo wrote:Well, the window is too small for the options to sh-Oh.

You wanna play TDR? Here's a hint; Look to the torrents, but search for something that includes the MAX-Pack (you might wanna try it, just make sure you do the original before putting that on top the Nosebleed Pack).

As for a solution to imsharkbait's problem... There's not much I can do, like in this post, my computer still hates TDR, and I've tried everything. I wouldn't really know what to do once I'd get it running anyway. Try Googling around, more people've had that problem, but they gave other solutions.

Also, you have to do what is stated above to every group that has those lines. There is about three. The edit works but now my game crashes when I load the first race in level two.

Or should I use compatibility mode to an older version of windows? Any help would be greatly appreciated because I love this franchise and wanna play TDR 2000 until the launch of Reincarnation.

Perhaps this Win7 PC is too new for the broken TDR? Reincarnation better make a total revamp of it.

I've tried default settings, hi res settings, etc and cannot get to the 2nd mission. I'm using Logitech Extreme 3D joystick and an ATI Radeon HD 5450 adapter. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I saw some suggestions on Carmageddon Wiki's troubleshooting that turning off Pixel Fog alongside the MiP filter could be a good idea.

Any fix yet, I know I am bumping an old thread but I am getting a directX error, I'd just like to play in a LAN with my brother before the reincarnation multiplayer is launched.

its probably directX7 isn't compatible with high resolution.
I hope my solution help
Carmageddon TDR 2000 - directx problem
I think the problem might be that you have made the text and icons on your computer bigger and the window for the TRD setup does not scale. Try going to your desktop, right clicking, select screen resolution and then click on "Make text and other items larger or smaller" Set it to " Smaller - 100% (default)" now the window in the TDR setup should show all the options.BFishY wrote:So I get the same error everyone else gets when trying to play this game on a modern PC.
