3dfxogl (GxpOGL ICD Interceptor)
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
Date: Jan.20.2003
Version: 1.0.1.105
Source: http://www.users.on.net/triforce/glidexp/
Description: GxpOGL is designed to fix/work around problem with the 3dfx 761 ICD. It replaces the glTexImage2D function to fix issues with S3TC textures. S3TC textures are now compressed using the Microsoft compressor and are passed to the ICD as compressed textures. The Microsoft compressor is much faster and looks much better than the 3dfx compressor. This also fixed the DXT5 issues that were effecting any games that used that texture format.
