GTKradiant help

(niko) #1

is there anyway to get the program to run in 256 colors?

I was just interested in working on some wire frames and didn’t think that it needed that kind of color depth.

Any tips or anything other then the obvious?

Most consumer video cards don’t accelerate 256 color. In my experience, radiant runs hidiously slowly in software mode.

If your system can run ET, it can at least run 16bit color with HW acceleration, right ? So why not use it.

If you are trying to use radiant as a general mesh editor (i.e. a substitute for 3ds or something like that) I suggest you give up right now.

I was trying to use it over Remote Desktop from work to home :slight_smile:

Its a boring day and wanted something to amuse myself and we “technically” are not allowed to install things like et or gtkradiant here :stuck_out_tongue:

heheheh

but…remote desktop rocks

That makes sense. I suspect that gtkradiant simply is not made to work with 256 color. If remote desktop cannot display higher color depths, you could try VNC instead. I suspect it will be really, really painfully slow.
