This is a fix for invisible player, prop, weapon, etc models.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Direct X Level 8 Fix for Dark Messiah Multiplayer:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
this makes it possible to see Player Models as well as most other models (such as flags and props such as crates).
There are some problems such as the DX 8 shader not supporting some DX 9 functions such as any semi-transparent effects go
fully white (magic shield for warriors, etc). But this does work mostly 90% and you can see all the player models and such.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation Instructions:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1)Use Winrar or Winzip to extract the archive straight
into your Dark Messiah Multiplayer directory
(Usually located in C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\your_account_name\dark messiah might and magic multi-player\).
2)Run the game under Direct X 8 mode and enjoy.

I tested it one two Nvidia cards so far I don't know how well it will do other cards but on the Geforce 5xxx series it worked fine for me.

There are some problems such as anything transparent becoming white and boxy, but otherwise it works fine. And remember unlike the whole purpose of these files where they are optimized for a specific DX level here they aren't optimized for DX 8 but still work Smile.

Download Links:
.zip version (6.67mb):

.rar version (5.19mb):
http://www.dmtavern.com/forums/index.php?automodule=dow...onfirm_download&id=8

make sure to post here and tell me if it works for you.

I will try to update this from time to time if it's actually usefull for people Smile

So this thing actually works?! I'll add it to the FAQ thread.
Me telling people that for multiplayer you need a DX9.0c supporting card, i got that info from YOU posting that, Mana! [* this thread (your post at the the bottom: http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/808101043/m/3591030285 *] Big Grin
And i never saw this DX8 fix thread (from Nov 2006) before yesterday (12 Jan 2007).

Yeah I thought I lost the files... But recently I just found em.

But officially DX9 is supported for MP only even if the system requirements say that the FX series should work.
