There's a dbpro plugin to do it, but with DGDK we have access to the DirectX device, but the way to enable it using SetRenderState only set one texture (which doesn't do anything, I tried all 8 of them). How, in DX, can anisotropic filtering be applied to everything within the constraints of dgdk?

You need SetSamplerState
but if GDK overrides it before rendering, not much you can do.

SetSamplerState is what I meant *d'oh*



Unfortunately doesn't work It works if I force it on in my drivers, but I can't set it ingame

Set the sampler state and call device-present instead of a fastsync.... that way GDK wont overwrite your scene b4 render

You can also just call device->present rather than dbSync, but you need to use a peekmessage loop at the start of your main loop

If it ain't broke.... DONT FIX IT !!!

With that peek message loop, I'd have to destroy everything at the end of the program, wouldn't I? And for the first option, I don't use fastsync() in my program, would I put the device->present() before the sync ?

Hey. I just released the source code to my DLL which turns on anisotropic filtering.

As DBPro plugins and Dark GDK are similar, I thought it might help you.

Here it is:

this would be a very useful option.

maybe someone with advanced gdk knowledge can look into the dll code and provide an option for gdk?

It should be very similar. GDK uses DBOData aswell. I have almost no GDK knowledge, but I can do it aswell. The dll is 3 functions and 80 lines long. Shouldnt be too difficult to understand.
