Default Remember Homeworld?

do you all remember homeworld, how much fun thevery first space RTS was.

...remember how windows xp fucked that all up. caused flicking in the menu's and the opengl mode would no longer work.


well.. i've been working on a way to fix this, now although i haven't gotten the opengl renderer to work (i can get the opengl32 to launch the game, but the screen is black)

i have been able to get the flickering minimised..

how i did this?

quite cheaply actually.

i noticed that the Cataclysm d3d wouldn't flicker at all, so i had an idea....

replacing the render dlls with the smaller dlls from cataclysm.

and it worked!, flickering is now minimised in the menu's and doesn't seem to flicker at all during the game.!

also, pixel smoothing actually works again!

YAY!
