Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen 2




3D Vision fix for Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen 2. It includes an aspect ratio mod for triple monitor, to use on top of the 16:9 game exe that already exists. The fix needs dgVoodoo to convert DX8 into DX11.


Fixed
- HUD fixed, unstretched, and at customizable depth.
- Fixed "layer" was making 3D broken at normal convergence levels.
- Fixed skybox.


Installation
- Download this file and extract its contents in the "Legacy of Kain Blood Omen 2" folder, where "bo2.exe" is.
- I recommend using the 16:9 mod here, because by default I unstretch the HUD and videos: http://www.wsgf.org/dr/blood-omen-2-legacy-kain
- The F6 aspect ratio mod is made only for 3x 16:9 monitors this time (thre isn't too much culling and there are only ".exe" mods up to 21:9).
- Download the latest dgVoodoo 2 release or WIP version here: http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2.html
- From inside its "MS" folder, copy "D3D8.dll", "D3DImm.dll" and "DDraw.dll" into the game folder.
- Open "dgVoodooCpl.exe" and configure it like this, for example, tuning the resolution and some other settings to your liking:




- Boot the game.


Hotkeys
- F2: six convergence presets .
- F3: HUD depth presets. Screen depth by default.
- F4: HUD toggle. Not disabled by default.
- F5: black bars toggle for cutscenes. Bars not disabled by default.
- F6: aspect ratio mod for triple monitor. Assuming base 16:9 mod is used.


HUD stretching
- In "d3dx.ini", there is a line that says "w2=0.75". That's the HUD unstretching from 4:3 to 16:9. Change it to "w2=1" if you want stretched HUD. The triple monitor hotkey mod will make it unstretched for that aspect ratio automatically.

  1. Hello, can this fix be used just to unstretch the HUD? I mean without the 3D?

    1. Worth a try. Download the file set it up as specified in the instructions and give it a try. The 3Dmigoto tool can work without 3D being available, so it's possible.

    2. I followed the instructions and set dgvoodoo 2 like in the screenshots. Nope. Doesn't work. I use the original retail italian version. Does this work only with the GOG english exe?
