binary version 03.010 not working

[miLosh]

hello,

i know there is a similar thread in this forum but it didnt solve my problem. i just downloaded and installed succesful the latest version. but its not working, when starting the client or the updater it says that it cant find a 3d driver:

milosh@orbit planeshift $ ./psclient
DLERROR (/home/milosh/planeshift/CS/gl3d.csplugin): libnvidia-tls.so.1: cannot handle TLS data
WARNING: could not load plugin \'crystalspace.graphics3d.opengl\'
No 3D driver!
psclient:  No 3d driver (iGraphics3D) plugin!


which is not true, i have a 3d driver and glxinfo tells me that DRI is enabled:

orbit extensions # glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
server glx version string: 1.3
server glx extensions:

im using gentoo linux with a nvidia fx5600go card and latest nvidia-kernel/glx installed.  the required nvidia libraries are also installed:

        libnvidia-tls.so.1 => /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.1 (0xb73ee000)

any hints what i might be doing wrong? it worked perfectly in 03.060 with nvidia glx - therefor if not absolutely neccessary i dont want to switch to xorg gl (besides i dont know how .

thanks in advance.

You might try:

Adding this under the driver = \"nvidia\"

Option          \"RenderAccel\"           \"true\"
Option          \"NvAGP\"                 \"1\"

also make sure these lines are commented out or deleted

# Load \"dri\"
# Load \"GLcore\"

I actually had the same problem in gentoo linux.  I fixed it by running, as root, opengl-update xorg-x11 , which turned off direct rendering, but also seemed to enable my system to find the opengl libs.  Then I ran opengl-update nvidia to switch back to direct rendering.  This solved the problem, but (I had built from CVS) it got very unstable until I rebuilt it, so if this works for you you may have to reinstall.

[Induane]

I could see that working perhaps if he was compiling, but he wasn\'t building from source.  Mayby I\'m completely wrong here though.  I\'d try reinstalling the xorg packages also after installing the nvidia driver.  For some reason I think that is what worked for me with the same problem I think.

[Ralas]

Oh yeah that is a good point.  I\'d forgotten that I had used binary installers in between attempts to build from CVS (i.e before I figured how how to help my system find the opengl libs) and I had never gotten that problem.  All the same, it did fix the problem without having to recompile.  It just . . . caused another problem that forced me to recompile.

[miLosh]

hey val, im happy to see that you finally discovered that linux is indeed the OS that brings more phun

well, however,

that didnt changed anything, i\'ve got still the same error.

but this helped partially:

switching to opengl fixed the problem, the game started. though due to lack of time (its kinda late here) i couldnt check its performance. but after switching back to nvidia i\'ve got the same error.

so, i\'ll check out tomorrow how it performs with the opengl interface. \'cause i dont need to restart the X server to switch between the api\'s i could live with this solution - but it still does not explaine why it worked in older releases.

thanks for the hints, i hope to see ya soon in hydlaa!

Also, You could try the gentoo ebuild.

Can\'t say weather it works for me, Cuz I\'m doing my inital planeshift-updater --auto now

thats what i tried first when i learned that they finally updated the ebuild to 3.010. you\'ll see if it works if you start the updater without \'--auto\' - it failed on my system with the same error as when i run psclient.

[miLosh]

so, i\'ll check out tomorrow how it performs with the opengl interface.

well, its how i feared, the performance is very poor.  in big places like the hydlaa plaza the frame rate drops far below what i was used to have with the nvidia interface. i also get a warning when starting the client, saying that indirect rendering is enabled.

so, is there no way to get it run with nvidia? maybe i should give it a try with the CVS version.

[Ralas]

First I\'d try just reinstalling.  Probably won\'t do it, but it is the easist thing to try.  Building from CVS isn\'t too difficult if you follow the build guide instructions word for word.  Or you could try emerge planeshift, as I hear that works quite well now.  I\'m glad I could (sort of anyway) help, and I hope you get this working.

[Jordz]

Gentoo ebuild worked for me and I have nvidia.

Apart from the werid problem with icons being HUGE ingame.....

[miLosh]

well with xorg opengl the game is not playable performance is more than poor, even typing in the chat box goes in slow motion. and whats worse, im getting ugly texture errors on the way to oji. see here:

and here:
http://plexus.shacknet.nu/ps/modules.php?name=coppermine&file=displayimagepopup&pid=77&fullsize=1

i also tried to build ps from CVS but it failed. i\'ve used the latest version (without -D date) for cal/CS/cel and ps, as well as the version of ps from the gentoo build guide. so, at the moment i cant play ps.... does really noone have a solution how to play the binary version with the nvidia opengl interface?

fortunately im going for hollidays in about 12 hours, i really hope that those problems will be fixed when im return.

[Ralas]

I still don\'t have an answer for your binary version, but if you try to build from CVS without the -D option, it will fail.  This is because it grabs the latest source code, which is never stable enough to compile.  I\'d say try it again, but this time follow the guild to the letter.  Everything is there for a reason.

[Platyna]

What is your driver version? I suggest updating it, get it at http://www.nvidia.com. Second - see your SSL/TLS instalation, support for these is provided by
the kernel and openssl library.

Also, please don\'t make threads entitled like \"client not works\", \"help me\",
\"I got an error\" etc. mind so your thread title will be descriptive and will allow
us to easly find it in archive.


Regards.

after some more googling the problem is solved. i simply had to rename (or delete) /usr/lib/tls, there seems to be a problem with the libnvidia-tls.so.1 in that directory. i can now start the game without error.

ralas: as i wrote i tried both ways, with or without \'-D\'. now it worked, but strangely i get a MB splashscreen (but with CB 3.10 in the window header written) and the game doesnt load. the error message is:
crystalspace.pluginmgr.loadplugin:
  WARNING: could not load plugin \'cel.physicallayer\'
Couldn\'t load plugin for PlLayer.

though i builded cel. anyway, the binary version works now, if only the server would get back online.....

thanks for all the time and hints you\'ve spend in this thread.

Platyna: i thought that the title was descriptive enough but ill try to be more specific next time.
