PMJI – But this strikes me as a curious setup if one wants to get output from
the Targa 32+. Here are some things to consider.
Clear buffers is not needed, VP calls up a new image per your frame count.
Alpha does not need to be set, as it is only needed for rendering but it is not
related to the output function.
You shouldn't be using TCONFIG unless you absolutely have to.
Gamma should not be at .6 or .8 in this case but 1 as this is gamma neutral.
Use gamma correction in 3DS, its much better, and setting it at .6 and using
gamma correction in 3DS will only cause you problems.
TMODE 11 is the preferred method as it defaults to Gamma neutral in which case
you can put it in your autoexec.bat file and don't need a Targa.bat You already
have this listed so why create a Targa.bat ?
Your SET statements look O.K. and your suggestion to use 3DS VIBCFG is right
on.
Overall all you need is your SET statements TMODE 11 and your DEVICE drivers,
everything else is superflous. Alpha and Buffer clear are optional. For
Framebuffer in 3DS VIBCFG use RDPADI and you're good to go.
