Zink compatibility to work around mods making opengl calls? [feature request]

Open Sukid opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

There's a game called X-plane which is/is going to be able to use Zink(ogl -> vulkan) alongside its native Vulkan backend just to work around errors with plugins that only support opengl, so being able to interface with Zink in a native Vulkan backend is definitely possible. Zinkrun doesn't interfere at all with Vulkanmod, but I tested it with xaero's minimap and the OGL calls still made the game crash even with zink present. So I assume the game has to actually enable access to the zink interfaces?

Zink does work on Windows as well, although I'm not sure how to get it on Windows right now other than compiling. This would just make for a very nice workaround when running VulkanMod alongside other mods
