No AA In HL Games

[Dark Auro]

First of all, I have an ATI Radeon 9800. My problem is, when I play HL, Opposing Force, or Blue Shift in OpenGL mode there is no AA on when in my display thing it is set of 6x but it doesn't show. It will work on Direct3D but for some reason when I use OpenGL the AA won't work. Anyone know what I can do to fix this?

you need to run HL in 32bit color mode, so run "hl.exe -32bpp"

woot? the original half-life got anti-aliasing?

Hey, Thanks! Do you know how to do it for Opposing Force and Blue Shift too?

I *Think* you can use the same -32bpp switch as well, although i havent tested it myself.

I tried doing that already. Run "opfor.exe -32bpp" or "bshift.exe -32bpp" didn't work.

so your setting the AA setting in D3d and expecting it to work when you use Opengl instead?

No, I'm saying it only works in D3D. I have both OpenGL and D3D at 6X AA but it only shows when I play Half Life on D3D mode.
