Thanks a lot Koszer for this new video showing the true about Doom3 port on MorphOS

This is the way

Uploaded a new release with shaders enabled.

Two executables this time: The "_alt" version is for those with gfx issues (never enable EAX sound with it).

I would not go too crazy with a 64mg vram: 640x480 and low settings preferable.

For a "normal" game now better set r_renderer ARB as shaders still not there for this game among other issues. You can enable r_useTripleTextureARB for bumpmapping/specular that kinda works with it (of course no r_usedrawinteraction0 enabled -> just for R200 gfx for now).

PowerMac G5 DC 2.3GHz, Radeon X1950Pro 256MB Pci-e

The "normal version" works well, but without mlook.

Try :

r_skipPostProcess 1

I try that and magical .... no more FPS at 1

Dont known if we lost detail GFX with this option

The details are lacking one way or another. But with this option we certainly gain some visual effects that would otherwise be a black blob and some speed too.
Here is how the timedemo works with and without r_skipPostProcess 1:

WITHOUT (watch out, painful to watch):

What was the rendering resolution?

This comes down to an issue I asked many moons ago but seems to be a forgotten email....

And for what I check now, it "could" be also related when effects as
doublevision/berseker/grabber, etc are applied (probably others).

r_skippostprocess is checked in draw_common.cpp/RB_STD_DrawShaderPasses. After that if renderer is ARB2, copyframebuffer is called.

That function ("copyframebuffer") is in image_load.cpp.

At image_load/copyframebuffer, opengl functions (readbuffer, copyteximage2d, etc) are called: Something's going on with those.

Ok. What it has to do with doublevision/grabber and so ?

Well, at game/PlayerView.cpp, those visual effects call "capturerendertoimage".

At rendersystemsystem.cpp is were capturerendertoimage is located and what it does is flag commandId with "RC_COPY_RENDER".

Further down the line the check for commanId is at tr_backend.cpp/RC_ExecuteBackEndPrograms.

When "RC_COPY_RENDER" is checked in the loop, it calls RB_CopyRender. And RC_CopyRender calls "copyframebuffer".

So now we have two places were copyframebuffer does "wrong" whatever ARB render is in use.

Edit: Postprocess also affects all renders.

Ha. Maximum stress settings.

How much FPS at 800x600 (about 4x less pixels) or 1024x768 (about 3x less pixels)?

15 fps is barely enjoyable for playing imo.

here i have 800x600 20-60 FPS

For those trying D3 with new MOS 3.18 and have issues with mouse/menu/gfx the fix is not really there:

As I suspected from and old debug beta done from someone with a beta 3.18 SDK, game recompiled with new SDK works now for supposedly all machines that were problematic.

And I don't really know why the f new SDK fixes that :)

Anyway working on for another release.

PS: Does game now looks better with shader render with new MOS upgrade ???

Here's a video of timedemo1 on the latest dhewm3 version (and gfx card drivers public release 9):

https://youtu.be/97T2iJ0rRE0

I can see some new effects (like sparks). Some slowdowns are gone, but I believe some new were found :)
The starting screen acts weird (with discoloration problems on buttons, and the incoming Mars seems to be missing us by a fair margin).

@koszer
And latest r6_5 ? Only one binary. It should fix almost all problems witn menu/intro mars: On some machines forward button + fire gets "nulled", but rest kinda works.

Quote:

Please what machine is used?
Is it yours Powermac G5 Quad + Radeon X1950GT ?

Quote:

Yep, that's my QUAD.

Quote:

From what I've checked the menu glitches are gone. But I've managed to run the r6_5 only after a few failed attempts. I'll do some more testing soon.

@thread
I installed last doom3 from morpos-storage.
Tested on Pegasos 2 1.33 GHz + Radeon 9800 and Sam460LE + Radeon X1950 XT.

Port is very fast - on Sam 15 FPS with timedemo !!
But, graphics is not good by default, ligths has squared shadows, all very bright and yellow. If I look at above youtube videos, there is normal graphics.
By default there are no .cfg file in archive.

- in log there is:
ARB2 renderer not available
using ARB render system ... this explains poor graphics

Please, what is recommended config. And what renderes are available?

Also, on morphos-storage there is written that archive is version r6.5, but in the log there is dhewm3 1.5.3pre version. Is this right?
