Beta 2
b2_011 - 2010.01.11 (posted 2010.03.06)
- Added support for Shockwave 11.5.6.606
- Hardware anti-aliasing can be enabled through console:
setaa <value> <mode>
value = 0 or 1 (default: 0)
mode = 1, 2, 3, 4 (default: 1)
1 = 2x multisampling
2 = 4x multisampling
3 = 8x multisampling
4 = 16x multisampling
For example, to enable anti-aliasing with 2x multisampling:
setaa 1 1
Comments:
The multisampling setting does not seem consistent across video cards. In some cases
1 will result in highest quality anti-aliasing, rather than 4. You may need to experiment a bit to find the setting that improve rendering quality without impacting the framerate significantly.

console key is now configurable through Settings
this should be useful for non-English keyboard layouts (TAB key is a good alternative to default tilde key)

Now defaults to "4 - High "
