perhaps it's just me, but i think i read somewhere that r1gl is nvidia only. Smiley

Totally removed paletted texture support. R1GL will no longer run on 3dfx cards most likely, as gl_ext_palettedtexture was just causing too many problems with all the new 32 bit stuff.
well, looks like "no-3dfx-anymore".

R1GL is OpenGL-only. You need a fully compliant OpenGL driver to be able to run it, 3dfx miniport drivers often lack critical features. There are enough versions of 3dfx drivers and hacks out there so I suspect at least one of them has working OpenGL...

not to mention how old voodoo cards are man
you could pick up a geforce mx400 super cheap now and that would be good enough for quake2

That is what I meant you can't use R1GL with dfx card. even if you have the drivers.
