Development Deliberation / It's a Problem with GCC
« on: April 28, 2004, 09:59:55 pm »
It\'s a problem with GCC in SuSE 9.0. The CS mailing list has been covering this recently. The problem is with the O3 optimization level and how it handles renaming registers. If you add this as a parameter to GCC:
-fno-rename-registers
Then things should turn out fine.

Development Deliberation / SuSE 9.0 Personal = AIEEE
« on: February 26, 2004, 04:16:51 am »
I thought it was related to the portal changes also, maybe even to the new polygon primitives that are being phased in. Maybe it is in some weird way, but here\'s what I\'ve found out:
This seems to be a problem with alpha blending (given the weirdness in walktest), which makes me wonder if it\'s a problem with the OpenGL libs installed on my machines.
I installed SuSE 8.2 Pro instead of SuSE 9.0 Personal which made the problem *magically* go away. I don\'t think that should be the solution to backport one\'s distro... I\'m more worried that this is an indicator of things to come.
One big difference between 8.2 and 9 is the XFree86-Mesa package, which didn\'t exist in 8.2 but appears in 9. Either something has changed in that XFree86 Mesa package (4.3.0.1) that adversely affects CrystalSpace or the GL packages (5.0.1) are changed. Either way it might be worth looking in to...

Development Deliberation / Just segfaults

Development Deliberation / PSClient Problems
« on: February 24, 2004, 12:55:50 pm »
I actually don\'t think it\'s a CS problem, I\'m just trying to diagnose what it could be. I did post the problem to cs-main, but the walktest problem seems to be a separate issue.
Take a look at http://www.cs.indiana.edu/~joellis/PS/rendering_errors1.jpg and http://www.cs.indiana.edu/~joellis/PS/rendering_errors2.jpg. There you can see what weirdness was happening before the psclient did nothing but segfault.

Development Deliberation / Confirmed and reproduceable CS crash
« on: February 23, 2004, 07:54:53 pm »
Aight... I can reproduce the error now:
1) get the latest version of Crystal Space from CVS
2) Jambuild it all
3) Run walktest (i tried without recalculating the lightmap, with --relight, with --relight --recalc and with --relight --recalc --video=opengl)
4) Stroll over to the transparent texture on the floor (the one right behind the stick figure that rotates around). Notice that the magenta transp. mask is still there?
5) Look up until the texture is outside of your viewplane
6) Segfault!
Using make actually causes walktest to segfault right away.
I\'ve tried this on two machines (both with NVidia hardware) with the same results.

Development Deliberation / Weirdness w/ latest CrystalSpace (and Linux GeForce Drivers)
« on: February 22, 2004, 08:17:11 pm »
Does anyone else notice any weirdness with the latest CVS of CrystalSpace & PlaneShift?
Bear in mind I\'m using SuSE 9.0 and the latest GeForce drivers from Nvidia (which have a reputation for being in a whack state).
Most of the time I get segfaulted. But if I do a cautious -relight or -recalc here and there, I\'ll get in but have odd clipping problems, sprites being displayed incorrectly (or not at all), weird level blending. This might be to some sectors or polygons not being closed (and so things bleed), but even weirder is that if I get out and then get back in things improve. And so it goes with each iteration.
For example, at first I logged in and noticed that transparent textures still had masks drawn with \'em (i.e. pink boxes around the tree tops). Sprites were also bleeding - move an image or look at your avatar at a weird angle and you\'d see the column map that the sprite previews in when at the character selection screen. No NPC\'s in npcroom. Logged out, logged back in and NPC\'s appeared and trees were fine, but fonts didn\'t show above the NPC\'s heads. Logged out, logged back in and fonts were back. Logged out, logged back in and the PS menubar at the top finally blitted on, dialog boxes were now present along with the shortcut bar.
I\'m *guessing* this might have something to do with CrystalSpace\'s latest version from CVS (since Joritt et al are rewriting how portals work). But it might also be due to the overall weirdness of the current NVidia drivers. So I\'m left scratching my head if it\'s a hardware problem or engine problem. Or if there are open sectors in the maps (& meshes) that cause funkiness. -recalc noticed a few that weren\'t closed.
If anyone else has noticed such weirdness let me know. No worries - I\'m more or less just looking for a show of hands for others with the same weirdness.

Development Deliberation / Creating Accounts on Local Server Installations
« on: February 15, 2004, 07:06:30 am »
I\'m wanting to hack away in the CVS version of PlaneShift, and I noticed the character generation/account creation page isn\'t present in the CVS version. Does that mean you:
1) Create the account in a Molecular Blue version, update to CVS, recompile and update the MySQL tables using the create_all script?
2) Open up MySQLcc, hack the tables manually and hope for the best?
3) Use an app unbeknownst to me to generate the account info?
Thanks!
