  7. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six - FOV Fix

    By AlphaYellow

    Comes with a RAR file, which includes an ASI plugin intended to fix the aspect ratio and field of view in the tactical FPS game "Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six" (1998).
    Source code available here: https://github.com/alphayellow1/AlphaYellowWidescreenFixes/blob/main/source/fixes/TomClancysRainbowSixFOVFix
    Instructions:

    3. Set the desired resolution to fix the FOV and aspect ratio and FOV factor in TomClancysRainbowSixFOVFix.ini.
    4. Rename RainbowSix.exe to RainbowSix2.exe (this step is required, since the game makes use of Windows compatibility options when the executable is called RainbowSix.exe, and the system silently injects AcGenral.dll, which blocks apps from being able to load custom DLLs from the directory they're in).
    - Issues:
    :-: Very high FOVs glitch the sky when looking downwards.

  8. Star Trek: New Worlds, compatibility pack for modern Windows

    By machoman

    This life support package is the result of a lengthy and very frustrating journey of getting ST New Worlds to run properly (and stable!) on modern versions of Windows. It took way too much experimentation, trial & error, going through multiple wrappers, compatibility flags and etc. In the end, I was able to play through all three campaigns without the game crashing one time too many... remember, there is no save system in NW and many missions last for 45 min or more. I've had people recommend WineD3D and that seemed to work for the first couple missions but wasn't stable enough.
    In the end, this is the configuration that worked for me on my system:
    [*] Unofficial Patch 1.1
    [*] Unofficial Bonus Mission Pack
    [*] dgVoodoo2 as the wrapper
    [*] DXWnd as the compatibility layer. And trust me, it took hours to find the numerous correct flags!
    [*] Locking the framerate at 30 fps. Anything faster appeared to make the game unstable and/or behave oddly.
    Step-by-step instructions:
    [1] Install the retail release of the game. Considering the obsolete installer, I used a WinXP VM and moved over the folder.
    [2] Copy the files into the game folder, overriding all files when prompted.
    [3] Open "Registry CD check.reg" with Notepad and set the correct drive letter for the CD-ROM image or your physical drive.
    [4] Open regedit.exe as an administrator and import the file you've just modified.
    [5] Open <game folder>\DXwnd\dxwnd.exe, right-click on the "New Worlds" profile and select "Modify". There, change the target from "C:\Games\New Worlds\STNW.exe" to whatever is appropriate. Save the settings.
    Run New Worlds through DXWnd only!
    Then you should be able to play the game with decent stability. It will still crash once in a while, yet it shouldn't be any worse compared to running it on Windows 98... it's just a buggy piece of temperamental software. The main menu and the actual 3D engine run in different windows and at different resolutions; it's awkward but normal.

    Once more successfully tested with two different Win11 24H2 machines before uploading.

    By AlphaYellow

  10. Conflict Zone, workaround for patch 1.5

    By machoman

    The installer for Conflict Zone v1.5 is no ordinary archive and actively patches the game executable, and also transcodes a large number of audio files. This process doesn't work properly on anything newer than Windows XP and causes a number of problems:
    [*] The installation fails (but claims to succeed) on modern operating systems, breaking the game. It will no longer start.
    [*] The audio format for background music, in-engine cutscenes and mission briefings rely on an outdated MP3 codec that is disabled by default. In essence, this means every piece of music or mission briefing is now mute. Some audio files (such as unit responses) will still play because they are WAV files and weren't converted by the v1.5 installer. The converted files also have the WAV file extension, but are actually encoded as MP3s (and that's odd!).
    As a side note, my retail copy of the game shipped with v1.1 and runs just fine audio-wise. The audio sliders in the game's options menu also don't seem to work quite right anymore; have to nudge them at every startup to set the correct volume. Why MASA decided to overhaul the entire sound system as part of a patch will remain a mystery...
    But v1.5 does contain important bug fixes, which is why I have made this workaround. I've ran the installer in a WinXP VM, made some small changes to the executable so it runs out-of-the-box on modern Windows and also adjusted the volume of three files (alarm, healing, repair) because they were way too loud compared to the rest of the sound effects. This package also contains ijl15.dll (Intel JPEG library) required to start the game.
    Step-by-step instructions:
    [1] Install the retail copy of the game as normal, but make sure to select every component to be copied to the hard drive! The minimal installation won't work.
    [2] Copy the contents of this workaround's game folder to your installation of Conflict Zone, overriding all files when prompted.
    [3] Run the batch file in "fraunhofer_codec_fix.zip" as an administrator. This should fix the audio issue.
    [4] Some people say you'll have to run the game in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP2, but that was never the case for any of my machines.
    Tested with two PCs running Win11 24H2 and video cards from different manufacturers.

  17. Sega Rally 2 - Widescreen & FOV Fix

    By AlphaYellow

    This contains fixer executable files aimed to fix the resolution, HUD and field of view for the third-person arcade racing game "Sega Rally 2" (1999), since the game only supports either 640x480 or 800x600 by default.
    All credits go to: AuToMaNiAk005
    Instructions:
    1. Place the included SEGA RALLY 2.exe, SegaRally2ResolutionFix.exe, SegaRally2FOVChange.exe and SegaRally2FOVConfig.cfg files into the game directory.
    2. Run the resolution fix to replace 800x600 resolution with your one. Optionally, you can set new side margins for HUD. Keep in mind that interface elements aren't scalable (they always cover the same amount of pixels), so they will appear tiny at higher resolutions. To solve that issue, set a lower resolution with the same aspect ratio and use dgVoodoo for upscaling.
    3. The config file contains the field of view multiplier. The aforementioned application adjusts it to your resolution, but you can set a custom one as well. However, the FOV is maintained by an instruction which cannot be altered on startup (otherwise, the game crashes) hence you have to run the game with the FOV changer as an administrator which edits the instruction with delay.
    4. Run the game through SegaRally2FOVChange.exe (you might need to restart it multiple times if it crashes to the desktop, it's an issue the game has).
    5. To change the default FOV, change the value inside SegaRally2FOVConfig.cfg.
    - Issues:
    - Doesn't fix the main menu resolution nor the 3D models on them, only during races.
    - Source of the fix, in case you want to contact the original author:

  24. AveSithis Engine Fixes for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

    By ks99

    Requires Oblivion Script Extender (OBSE), available here: https://github.com/llde/xOBSE/releases
    Source code available here: https://github.com/llde/AveSithisEngineFixes
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    AveSithis Engine Fixes is an OBSE plugins that fix some issues inside the game engine.

    Bug Fixes included:
    Fix Crash when referencing  XML Prefabs using Normal slashes "/" instead of backslash "\" when packed inside a BSA.  This allow to pack DarnUI XML, as they would crash without this fix. Fixed Water bugs that can occur when the special material "Lava" is used inside a mesh to render a water surface outside the cell water plane. Fixed a crash Calling SetLevel on actors equipping a bow Prevent disabling of the Reflection Shader when  using MSAA with a non Nvidia GPU Prevent disabling of MSAA when bAllowScreenshot is enabled (Removed in 1.1 to prevent issue disabling screenshots altogether) Fix Actor Spell List loading bug, causing hang when removing some mods involving spells Fix  a possible NULL pointer crash when the game decide if a reference should respawn Fix a possible NULL pointer access when accessing Actor references baseforms data Remove a game arbitrary limit on how many magic projectiles AI actors can cast
    Other Patches included:
    Zlib Update. It replace the ZLIB function in the game with functions from a modern version of ZLIB. Initial test seems to suggest lower loading times, but more tests are necessary to see if it's truly useful or not. Disabled by default, require a CPU with SSE2 instructions
    MSAA and Refraction shader bug  was already fixed in Oblivion Reloaded some times ago. However as they are pure and stable fixes, and doesn't require nor aren't required by OR changes,  I thought  that I should offer these stand alone. These changes will be removed from OR 11, however version of OR that still include these (like E3 or Combined or previous version of official Oblivion Reloaded) will remain totally compatible with this plugin.

    Installation:
    Extract the archive into the Oblivion/Data or install with a mod manager

    Enabling ZLib update:
    Open the AveSithisEngineFixes.ini in Oblivion\Data\OBSE\Plugins and change UpdateZlib=0 to UpdateZlib=1
    Disabling the MAgic Projectile Arbitrary Limit Removal:
    Open the AveSithisEngineFixes.ini in Oblivion\Data\OBSE\Plugins and change installMagicProjectileLimit=1 to installMagicProjectileLimit=0

    Thanks:
    Yinsolaya and slowpard, for having made me aware of a reproducer of the Water bug, helped with the investigation and tested the fix.
    Arthmoor for creating the mod which helped to isolate the issue
    WallSoGB for the idea of zlib update (for NV)

  25. Tiawar's EngineBugFixes v2.22 for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

    By ks99

    Requires Oblivion Script Extender (OBSE), available here: https://github.com/llde/xOBSE/releases
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Description
    ===========

    EngineBugFixes is an OBSE plugin containing bug fixes for the Oblivion game engine.
    It distinguishes two types of engine modifications:

    1) Fix    Fixes something that probably everyone would consider a bug.
    2) Patch    Changes something that may or may not be considered a bug but which I felt could be improved.

    See below for a current list of fixes/patches.
    Detailed information about each fix/patch can be found in the readme file.
    All fixes and patches can be enabled/disabled separately to ensure maximum compatibility with other OBSE plugins.


    Install
    =======
    1) Extract the files to a temporary location.
    2) Copy the files in the Data folder to (install folder)\Oblivion\Data\


    Uninstall
    =========
    1) Delete the files/folders associated with the mod.


    Usage
    =====
    To enable a particular fix or patch set its value in the INI file to 1. To disable, set the value to 0.


    Source Code
    ===========
    The included source code (separate download) gives you an overview of the locations in the engine that will be patched
    as well as a general insight into the patches themselves.
    However, it is currently NOT possible to compile the plugin from the code as it is missing the project that recreates
    the game engine classes and maps functions to memory addresses.
    This project is HUGE and currently not for share (not in a sharable state anyway...).


    Patch List
    ==========

    Fixes
    -----
    1) InitRendererFix (v1.0)
    Fixes a small bug in the renderer initialization code which prevents the game from properly showing an error message box
    when you try to start the game with an unsupported screen resolution specified in the INI file.

    4) CreatureLightingFix (v1.0)

    instead of the Target range (which is the correct effect range for staffs).

    47) UnloadedObjectReferencesFix (v1.9)
    Fixes a bug in the code that unregisters unloaded objects from all other objects that may be referencing them. The bug prevents an

    Fixes Gamebryo AV object palette (a structure to quickly lookup mesh parts in an object's 3D by name) containing pointers to deleted objects

    54) RemoveExcessDeadFix (v2.1)
    Prevents respawning actors from staying permanently disabled after getting removed by the game's 'Remove Excess Dead'
    routine (which attempts to preserve performance in a complex scene by selectively disabling dead actors).

    55) SleepCastLoopFix (v2.1)

    😎 PluginLoadErrorMessageBoxPatch (v1.7)
    Shows a message box when the game CTDs on startup because of a missing master file. The message tells you the name of the plugin
