Feature Requests / RC4: textures problem

« on: July 30, 2006, 12:50:00 am »

Ok, after a whole Saturday trying to understand how things in the gl_mesh.c work, I couldn't find a single reason for the textures to be completely wrong.
As far as I have seen, both the R_DrawModelDirect and R_DrawAliasModel seem doing the same things (except for the latter being a lot more complex, drawing all the stuff for the real ingame rendering). Both use the GL_DrawAliasFrameLerp and the same model/skin but still with the direct drawing the textures are applied in the wrong way.
I tried to use the Mesa Indirect rendering and, at the ludicrous speed of 3 fps, everything was fine so, Mattn, you were right. There is a problem with the ATI closed driver. And would like to know WERE actually the problem arises... with precise information there is some hope they will look into it.

Anyway, with this nice headache i've got in my "study", I'm seeing the game in a different way... after all, having some texture wrong is not THAT bad...  :wink:

Forgot to say that the only object that has the texture in the right way is the kevlar suit (and I wonder if it's a real 3D object or just a texture as you can't even move it in the ufopedia ).

Ok, tried the original quake2 (demo) and, except for cracking audio, the video was just perfect (both glx and sdl). But I guess it uses only the R_DrawAliasModel (or something similar).
Tried the Christmas special Ufo and the textures were wrong like in the trunk version.
The open source ATI driver doesn't support 3D (Mesa Indirect Rendering).

Programming skill?
Sure...

main()
{
   printf("Hello World!");
}

How was that??
(...and I forgot also the #include <stdio.h> line)

No, seriously... I may try to take a look in the weekend but I don't think I can do much about it! (especially as long as I don't understand the difference between the two functions!)

Hi There!
Here is what is happening to me: in the "management" screens (equip aircraft/soldiers, ufopedia) the textures are applied in a completely wrong way (well, at least that seems to be the problem to me... see the pic links at the end).
This problem DOESN'T happen during the tactical missions (but check the pics).
In the ufoconsole.log I can't find anything useful:

Here you can see the weirdos...

But in missions is ok EXCEPT for the upper left portrait:

Discussion / stutteringly sound

« on: July 25, 2006, 01:09:45 am »

Hey guys!!
First post, have to say: thank you so much for all that you are doing!!
This game is great!!
I have some coding skill but don't think good enough for actually working on the game code! Will try to help doing some "low skill" things... and reporting bugs, of course!

Now, something serious...
I'm experiencing the same problem with the ALSA sound driver: the .ogg are played at a ultrafast speed. Switching to SDL solve the problem. So, would say this is a low priority. I tried to use the snd_alsa.c.new but i couldn't compile:
.
.
.

ports/linux/snd_alsa.c:232: error: expected expression before '/' token
make[1]: *** [../debugi386/client/snd_alsa.o] Error 1
make: *** [build_debug] Error 2

So, I fixed all the comments from //comment to /*comment*/ and the true/false constants to qtrue/qfalse (in this case I just guessed... LOL, no idea about that!).
Anyway, I managed to compile it getting just a:
 * [UFO] ../debugi386/client/snd_alsa.o
ports/linux/snd_alsa.c: In function 'ALSA_SNDDMA_Init':
ports/linux/snd_alsa.c:103: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 3 of 'snd_pcm_hw_params_set_rate_near' differ in signedness
ports/linux/snd_alsa.c:118: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 3 of 'snd_pcm_hw_params_set_rate_near' differ in signedness

I think that this file needs more work as the alsa sound was wrong (guess the wrong things are going in the buffer) but I could hear the original music. The speed is better but is still faster than with SDL.

Hope all this will be useful.

Ops, forgot:
Version: trunk (just updated)
OS: linux debian unstable (kernel 2.6.16.20)

Keep up the good work!!
