Need to change from openGL

Post by McNinja »

I need to change the settings to not use openGL, as it doesn't work on my computer, but I can't do it from in game since I can't see anything, little help?

Copied from the troubleshooting section in the manual:
Open TNM\System\TNM.ini and find the line that starts with GameRenderDevice. If it says “D3DDrv.D3DrenderDevice” (without the quotation marks) after the equation mark, try changing it to “OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice” (again, no quotes) and see if that helps, or vice versa. If this doesn’t solve the problem, try visiting our forums and maybe we can help you out.
So, change that line to:
GameRenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DrenderDevice

Ah crap, it was in the manual? I must've missed it, sorry and thanks.

No problem, it wasn't explicitly stated under a "How to change the renderers" heading so you'd be forgiven for skipping over it.
