#3ds2 & Targa+ problem
2 messages in this thread
Help! I am having problems rendering to a Targa+ board (in PAL) from 3D
Studio V2. All was working fine using 3DS' own RDPADI driver, and then for
no apparent reason (perhaps someone tinkered with my machine) it went
horribly wrong!
Now all I get is a 'Can't allocate image buffer', followed by a 'init of
driver failed' message! I have tried changing the system over to the
Truevision RCPTARGAP.EXP driver, but to no avail. What can the problem be?
Any suggestions gratefully recieved!
BTW the Truevision driver says that it should have the line;
DEFAULT-DISPLAY = RCPADI in the 3DS.SET file, previously the command was
RENDER-DISPLAY = RDPADI. Either way changing it to RENDER-DISPLAY = RCPADI
makes no difference to the problem!

Ian: The first thing to try whenever an adi driver suddenly goes wacky is
to delete the file called 3DADI.CFG in your 3DS directory. When you start
3DS the next time, it will ask you a few questions for configuration, and
will usually fix the glitch (unless someone really tried to mess with your
mind!) This will fix many RCPADI or RDPADI glitches, but has nothing to do
with 3DS internal drivers. Did you try to set it to (yucch!) vga 320×200
to make sure the program itself was working properly?
