Welcome to Multiwinia Mondays!

[vanarbulax]

There aren't enough ways to say awesome.

Looking good, I quite enjoyed the voice they've got for the video, I wonder who it is....

[vanarbulax]

Okay then: it's looking grand! Keep up the good work ol' chaps.

And who thinks of hairy as a synonym for awesome?

[Xarlaxas]

I don't know, and quite frankly, I'm not sure I want to know....

Yo' Momma.

[Mas Tnega]

In my pants.

MikeTheWookiee is probably correct. Well, at least some manuals are printed, as I have one. Don't worry yourselves though. It consistently calls the fellows 'Multiwinians'.

As for the Multiwinia Monday. Can I suggest using a video container other than QuickTime's? The problem is finding a viable alternative. How about .flv? Unfortunately that requires Flash, but that's probably a bit less irritating than having to have QuickTime installed.

As far as I know the manual haven't gone to print yet.

[RabidZombie]

Yeah, sorry, you're right.

It only contains information on the stuff the previewers get to see.

[zach]

Yay, my first news refer at TIGsource - I can retire!

[vic]

There's now a copy of the Domination video available on Youtube for those who don't wish to download QuickTime

Well, to be fair, most drivers allow for different AA settings on a per-application basis.

Still, 'native' support would be preferred. From a development point of view, it shouldn't be that hard to at least do something about those jagged lines, on high-end machines anyway.

[zach]

I have to say that in that case, I'd rather AA support was added natively than to further monopolise nVidia's partaking in the gaming industry.

Need I mention the old indie game Bridge IT?
I wanted to play that for years, but couldn't due to my Radeon 9700.

Of course, I have an nVidia card now ...

EDIT: Oh, and two things, Vic.

1. Adding &fmt=18 to most newer youtube links (assuming a decent source video quality) vastly improves the quality of the played video, and even more so, audio. You might want to consider using this link instead:

2. Gametrailers have the higher-quality video online, here:

Err, isn't that method of AA described there horribly slow? Granted, if you also set a mipmap bias, it gives the best results, but still.

[zach]

It was more a way to demonstrate that it should be fairly easy to find a way of doing antialiasing, whatwith the 'feeling lucky' yielding "acceptable" results and everything.

You're right though, it's slow to the point of needing immense boxen.

[Nutter]

Yeah, sorry, you're right.

It only contains information on the stuff the previewers get to see.

Some of the things from the preview booklet are the same as the manual, through there are fewer screenshots. Hopefully the different style from darwinia will go over well, though darwinia was a though act to follow graphically and be different at the same time.
