My objects just appear as white squares...

[Ilea]

Hi,

I just upload the game to my new laptop with Windows 64-bit Vista Home Premium. However, I can't see the obects in my inventory or spellbook. They only appear as white squares. Any suggestions as to how I can solve this problem?

Hi,

I tried the link and the link within the post but it doesn't take me anywhere. It seems that that person was able to fix the problem via semi-colon. Do you have anymore info on this?  Thanks for responding.

[Caarrie]

forgot the forum moved and the link went dead, i updated it there and here for you

you could try http://hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=31751.msg366633#msg366633

I dont know if that will help at all though

Thanks Carrie. But do you know which file I go to in order to change the coding?

[Caarrie]

I fixed the white box problem by changing in ../data/config/r3dopengl.cfg

in the ; disable the use of certain opengl extentions

delete the ; in front of Video.OpenGL.UseExtension.GL_ARB_texture_compression  = false

sorry don't know how to insert this nice code boxes in the message.

good luck with it

Hmm...I went into the psclient CFG file but can't find that specific code (Video.OpenGL.UseExtension.GL_ARB_texture_compression  = false) to change. Is there anything else I can do? Sorry for all the questions.

[Caarrie]

it does not say psclient.cfg read what i quoted again.

I have the white square problem. My object icons such as inventory items or other items are a blank square. In my case they are tan.
The label of the object is ok when moused over. You can right click and see the items properties. You can also drag the squares around. Only the icon is missing.
 I tried the 'delete the ; in front of Video.OpenGL.UseExtension.GL_ARB_texture_compression  = false' fix, but no help. From Caarrie's referral above.
Also, I have no sound, and I cannot put check marks in the sound or other config boxes, don't know if related.
Vista Home Premium 32 on a 64 bit laptop.
Intel Mobil 965 express video.
2ghz intel duo cpu dual core.
4G memory
Sigma tel audio
*update:
I had to jump through copy, rename, permission hoops. I was using notepad, tried wordpad and editing on the desktop, copying to folder, renaming old one etc. etc.
The fix above works, (for the icons,  I still have no sound, and I cannot check items in the options box), just have to be sure it "takes". Windows is so painful to come back to. Long live Linux (PCLinuxOS).

what do you use to alter it?

[Pizik]

The program you use to edit it? Notepad will open it in windows, right click it, choose "Open With..." then look for Notepad in the list.

Hi all,

I have the exact same problem.
In game objects in inventory and spells window appear as white boxes.
I have applied the latest updates (thinking that it may be due to missing files/textures) but that did not help.

I deleted the ; in front of Video.OpenGL.UseExtension.GL_ARB_texture_compression  = false but that did not help either.

My laptop specifications are as follows:
Laptop        : Dell Inspiron 1525
CPU           : Intel Core2 Duo T5750 @2GHz
RAM           : 3 GB
Graphics Card : Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family
OS            : Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit)

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
