Title: Antialiasing on OS X
Post by: neoterran on September 26, 2008, 09:39:40 am
okay freespace is working much better now on OS X than it was last year at this time. Normal maps still don't work via the shader method which is kind of sad.

But the main thing is there isn't a way to turn antialiasing on - We need an option for it in SoulStorm's Launcher.

You need to force full screen anti-aliasing on driver level on all platforms. FS2_Open engine won't do it itself...

On Mac it's just probably a bit more complex process (http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060806215733256) than on Windows or Linux.

True. But the "OpenGL Profiler Launch" thing does not work with FS2open, cos  FS2open does not "find" its home directory that way.  :mad:

:bump:

I just discovered this thread and decided to bump it to say that a while back I found a way to enabled antialiasing on OS X (well, anything non-windows) with only two lines of code :D.  Now, given the current code freeze I don't think this "feature" could be added until 3.6.10 is out the door, and making it customizable would require a few more lines of code (nothing complicated though) as well as coordination with the launcher.  But it is possible :)

Great news, because it's a real pin to enable it with the profiler atm.
