No fonts in Demos

I got a Scons plug in for Eclipse and have the project pulled in. I will see if I can trace through and figure out exactly what is misfiring on my system....

Any specific watches and breakpoints would be appreciated.

Here is a video of the 4th world from the top and the faint stuff I can see...

Another test I tried after making the above video was forcing the GL renderer instead of the higher priority ARGprog by renaming the so file. The above scene changed and I could see a white rectangle-ish shape on the ceiling...also I made it to the dialog box and could hover my mouse over the buttons and make them turn red, but nothing seemed to happen when I clicked.

Also, I opened up the World Editor and I can see the textures as a brush, but I can only see a few sparse shapes in the main view like in the game. Maybe I should write a renderer for Intel? I can also open the png's that I am working with in the World editor just fine in GIMP...The rendering engine is the same in the game as in the editor?

On a side note, are the .dia files made with Visual Studio? I need to get a plug in to open them in my IDE....

Hi adsicks,

I began to setup a Gentoo system under VirtualBox over the weekend. I also made quite good progress, got the X system running, but no desktop yet. I probably did some mistake with the USE settings, and right now I'm stuck at the complaints of emerge gnome regarding missing lines in .../package.use. This is honestly pretty frustrating, requiring hours of reading, but I'll try to get further when I'm back home tonight.

Well, I see two big suspects: Either the image loading is inherently wrong, never giving us the pixel values that come with the files on disk, or, if the bitmaps are loaded right, uploading them as OpenGL texture fails, and if that works, it may still be some driver rendering issue somewhere. These are the key points that I'd start looking into -- if only I got Gentoo to a useable point...

(Just another shot into the blue: If for example Cafu attempted to upload bitmaps in R8G8B8A8 format, which is ancient and should really work everywhere, but the driver only supports something else (such as R8G8B8, without alpha), this might cause symptoms such as those you're seeing. But this is just another guess.)

Thanks! This looks like map BpWxBeta, and I think we can see some specular component of some of the posts near the spawn point.

This fact alone is interesting enough, but still not enough to sufficiently narrow down the problem.

It's good to know that, thanks!

Using the World Editor for tests is a very good idea: While the 3D views rendering uses essentially the same code as the engine (it used to use only the OpenGL 1.2 renderer in the past, even if a more powerful renderer was available, but nowadays should use the same renderer as the engine), it also uses completely different code in the Material Bowser. Can you see the texture images there??

On a side note, are the .dia files made with Visual Studio? I need to get a plug in to open them in my IDE....

They're made with this program: https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Dia
It's a bit old these days, but I don't know a more recent alternative...

Btw., it's probably not a great help as you have to type blindly, but if you've loaded a map, you can enter

Code: Select all

forceRM("wireframe")

into the console, which should give you visible wire-frame rendering. See these two posts for additional information:

I'm stuck at the complaints of emerge gnome regarding missing lines in .../package.use.

I am actually using KDE. My use flags in make.conf:

I have gtk and gnome turned of for packages I install, but I have gtk-2 and all the sdk stuff I need to compile as I have a gtk-2 app I am working on. This is actually what drove me to find a 3-D engine. I am working on a turned based strategy game and I guess it is OK in 2D, but if I can overlay a hex map and use models for cut scenes it would be more exciting. I just really didn't want to spend 6 months or so writing my own 3D engine and then spend the rest of my life debugging it...lol. An intel linux renderer is manageable Why re-invent the wheel.

Can you see the texture images there??

Yes, just not the renders.

I also tried to run the Windows version of Cafu in XP sp3 in a Virtual Box. ARGprog crashed and forcing GL12 gives the same results as in Linux leading me to believe I have something wrong with my driver somehow. I am not familiar exactly how the with the Oracle VM driver composites, but I know I have hardware acceleration checked so assume it is using the kernel i915 driver for GL stuff. However, it is odd that I can run Warhammer Choas Gate and Simcity 4 in Windows and Decent and such on Linux.

On a side note I am running 32bit XP and have no Hypervisor support on my cpu.

The line:
brwCreateContext: failed to init intel context
Is what is making me wonder if I need to dig into the renderer and do a workaround. Having separate renderers on this engine is a great idea. Having an engine that is modular and OOP is one of the main reasons I am trying to get this thing working.

Got dia....The class diagrams are very helpful. Thanks.

Also, What version of mesa are you running on your Ubunu set up? It looks like 10 is hard masked on gentoo. I am installing 9.2.5-r1 to see if my intel drivers are any better or newer.

[adsicks]

Mark this as solved. Mesa-9.2.5-r1 fixed this issue. I guess it is too bleeding edge for Portage stable as yet. Not sure why 9.1.6 didn't play well with your engine, but figuring this out saves a lot of headache...

Works in a XP vbox also at a whopping 2.5 fps (what I would expect), but hey, it all rendered....

[Carsten]

Mark this as solved. Mesa-9.2.5-r1 fixed this issue.

Thanks for the feed-back, it's great to hear that!

(I'll still try and finish my second attempt at Gentoo and see where it gets me, but now certainly at a more leisurely pace. )
