Fullscreen antialiasing under OSX

Oct 13, 2005 Gnypatul link
Is this at all possible in VO for the mac? I don't see it in the options dialog. I run on a Dual G5, Tiger 10.4.2, Radeon 9600 128MB VRAM.

I've seen it working on PC's with the same graphics card and I know of other OSX games that do support antialiasing.

Is there any way to get it going? It looks a lot nicer.

The nvidia drivers for Linux have a semi-hidden environmental variable that you can set (__NV_GL_FSAA or some such) to turn on FSAA. Their mac drivers probably have similar capabilities, but good luck finding it.

tnx. After figuring out how to point the ATI utility to vendettaclient inside the Vendetta package I got it to work. The smoother graphics seem to cause a lot of slowdown though, more than they should.

2x FSAA means that the entire screen is rendered twice, basically. So half as fast, that would be. This is different from the AA set directly in the various games, I believe.

I've never gotten around to adding AA support to VO. Sorry about that.

yeah ATI Displays gives you AA and a bunch of other things that this game has only for PC. :)
