Thanks itix, Wesnoth now works on the PowerBook with PowerSDL 15.9 as well.

Kind regards,
Andrea

PowerSDL_ttf.library seem's to still crash with Flare 0.17 but since only PowerSDL.library has changed, it's not a surprise.

This version may also introduce a regression on Unix file paths :
FreedroidRPG 0.15.1 encountered a problem in function: load_image_surface
Could not load image.
File name: PROGDIR:graphics/tux_motion_parts/1hmelee/feet//iso_boots1/iso_boots1_1.png. IMG_GetError(): Error writing to datastream.
If you encounter this message, please inform the FreedroidRPG developers about it
You can

post on our forum at https://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/freedroid
or report the bug on our tracker at http://bugs.freedroid.org/
Thank you!
The problem mentioned above is not fatal, we continue the execution.

Looks like I should start writing unit tests for PowerSDL. This was already fixed and it is broken again. I forgot that Flare 0.17 entirely... going to take a look now :)

I compiled new SDL_ttf 2.0.11 and Flare 0.17. "Play Game" in main menu is ghosted and when entering configuration menu it crashes.

Creating RGB surface is failing because surface width >= 16384 || height >= 65536.

Here are know problems in Flare for Morphos :
- Broken graphics when choosing Character or saved game
- Black screen when leaving configuration menu (this may lead to force you to reboot). Try to click at bottom of the screen right in the middle....

For this : "Creating RGB surface is failing because surface width >= 16384 || height >= 65536."
I should have a look, It's probably a Lillte Endian to BE conversion missing ?

This is what I am getting in Flare 0.16:

Pink rectangle on the right:

Graphisc corruption around character:

I dont know yet where this could be coming from.

@itix,

first picture was already like that with PowerSDL 14.
2nd picture, There is no picture corruption like that with powerSDL 14.

I have compiled my application using PowerSDL 15.9 SDK and the application crashes when I use glGenTextures() function. If I back to PowerSDL 14.0, the application works well. Fortis game (compiled using PowerSDL SDK 14.0) crashes too when I have PowerSDL 15.9 libraries in SYS:LIbs. :(
Do you know where is the problem?
I use Pegasos 2 G4/1000 with MorphOS 3.1 and MOS SDK 3.1.

Is it just me, or SDL_MapRGB(A) incorrectly uses little endian packing? I recently ported two games, and I get wrong colors (white+red instead of black+white, etc).

edit: Ah, never mind, it only happens with 16bit screens.

Can you find out how this part of gfx is handled? How it is loaded, is it SW or HW surface, what is used for blitting?

I'll take a look.

Is it crashing with PowerSDL v14 libraries? I found out that it is making a SysV ABI call to offset -352 using NULL pointer. This call is made from Fortis.

This could be SDL_GL_UpdateRects() in powersdl.library or Mix_PausedMusic() in powersdl_mixer.library but it could be also some other SDL library.

Quote:

It is possible I have made a mistake there. 16bit screens are little endian in MorphOS but SDL only supports big endian screens. It should work but could be I messed up something. 16bit screens are rarely used these days.

When diffing V15 against V14 source code I found a bug from SDL_GL_UpdateRects() call in powersdl.library and this is probably cause of crash. Going to fix this today.

Each my application compiled using PowerSDL SDK 15.9 or 14.0 crashes if I have in SYS:Libs libraries from PowerSDL 15.9 archive.

Great! Thank you for very fast investigation of the problem. Itix rules! :)

I finally have got Fortis running. There were in fact two separate issues with it and second one was caused by yeat another third issue I have to fix in SDL library code.

itix,

It is very good and important news for me! Thank you.
I have already said - Itix rules! :)

I uploaded powersdl v15.10 to Aminet. It includes new powersdl_ttf.library and powersdl.library with OpenGL fixes.

I still dont know where gfx corruption in Flare is coming from.

Yeeeaaahh! I will test it today. Thank you Itix!

@itix:
If you have some time, could you take a peek at NXEngine (Cave Story)? I can't get SDL color keying to work in fullscreen.

Any idea?

That file should be created during the extraction process. If it isn't there you can try a clean "install", and let the game extracts its stuff again.

It is there and according to Snoopium is accessed successfully. I have recently updated my SDL port to 1.2.15 so maybe it has something to do with this...

Oh... found a problem. I have to rebuild all SDL libraries from scratch so this will be postponed tomorrow.

It no longer crashes with my fixed SDL build and issues with insanly large surface allocations are gone. It was simply due to wrong endianess in SDL.

@BSzili

It is indeed broken in full screen mode. Working on it...
