Don't know where to report it and whether it's affiliated with the issues regarding tinygl you are discussing here, but Quake 3 Arena suffers from textures falling in various maps (not the default ones though). For example OSP CTF2 (Crossing Paths), on the centre place where there should have been fog, there are white boxes instead. Tried to take a grab via builtin Quake III grabber but graphics appear heavily scrambled on the image. If needed I can shoot a photo. This is happening to a lot of custom maps such as Short Circuit (DM map) - I can list some more if needed.

@Cool_amigaN

Quake3: My guess is new TinyGL vs old Q3 MOS port (and mods behaving badly).

You "could" test my warpos Q3 port and check out what does (I have to upgrade it btw):

https://github.com/AmigaPorts/ioq3

Run the latest release (beta9r4) from a shell after adding "stack 0x2000000".

Of course backup the old Q3 MOS binary and configs.

Even being out of this thread, help is help. You can PM me about it (or bigfoot).

I've set the skipLightScale to 1, it's better this way.
The glitch is gone. Probably moon phase has something to do with that :)

here's a new YouTube video

Now - the game runs well, but as soon as our character takes a hit (gets shot or hit in hand-to-hand combat) the game stutters for a while. It makes the difficulty level much higher, even more when we're engaging multiple opponents (video to come).

@koszer

Did you check your email ?

Moon ?
Also Mars positioning has something to do with game running ok. A lot of gremlins.

Doom 3 is currently on sale on steam for £0.99 until 7th of July for anyone wanting to get a legal copy of the data files.

I have instaled latest r6 release with second update of TinyGl in my G5 9600Pro
I fails mouse and manus as you know.
But If I run with r_renderer ARB2 option the game shows the same text from the console in the window and I can only exit to Ambient.

@tolkien

It's weird.

As said, for the mouse/menu bugs looks like a symptom as the "rogue" version in r5 release: That one had little changes there and added new OpenAL lib. Supposedly it was compiled with SDL2 2.0.20 as the normal doom3 binary (or whatever SDL that was around at those times).

Worked for me not for the rest ( not macmini ).

Maybe OpenAL new lib has something to do ??? The only way is to put back the old and reinstate the changes I did at the time for it to work.

As for the renderer ARB2 option probably the gl calls to shader programs aren't the same as SDL2 <=2.24 have in their gl wrapper. I see some working about that in new SDL2 for new tinygl.

Test if old r5 version also crashes with ARB2 option.

To active new functions of tinygl (sharders), you need new SDL2 (TinyGL53 branch), actually i working on it... (I test and I give feedback to bigfoot)

I rebuild R6 with my SDL2 beta, i see some errors with shaders but ARB2 is available...
i reactive SDL_SetWindowGrab and i dont see any problem with that here (G5 X800)

Need more test i think...

@beworld

Enabling SDL_SetWindowGrab fixes the bugs mentioned ? Wonder why is needed for some gfx cards and not others. And why having it disabled was working before (in r5).

Instead of compiling neo/sys/morphos/glimp.cpp, it's ok to use neo/sys/glimp.cpp (at least it works for me).

I recently fixed some code in SDL that might be related.

this fix is present into SDL 2.24.0 release present on morphos-storage

@Cowcat
Just tested r5 with same result trying r_renderer ARB2.

Uploading an img RQ75NRx

@tolkien

Naaa... forget it until the new special SDL2 library shows up.

Meanwhile I uploaded a new r6 release. Fingers crossed.

@CowCat @BigFoot @BeWorld

OK, I finally got a chance to try everything out. I updated to Dhewm r6_2, TinyGL 9/4/2022 update and SDL 2.24.0.

The graphics are becoming smoother and I was able to make it to the first safe spot on the bridge with the Soul Cube (you can see this in the video when I turn around).

I recorded this video to show how the graphics behave when the Soul Cube is activated:

@CowCat

i have tried new r6-2 but always the same problem, mouse seems to be not supported...

Quote:

Your mouse is just unsupported. Try another one.

PS
The port is quite playable (23 fps at 640x480 and 21,5 fps at 800x600) on g4 1.5ghz and ati9650
Mouse ADX AFPH0219 works very well :)

PS2
Readme says that timdedemo does not work but it does at least on my config.

[ Edited by eastone 09.09.2022 - 17:15 ]

@Papiosaur

Are menu gfx issues fixed at least ?

Can you try it with other system ? I know you're testing on G5 with X1950 Pro.

Any problems with some other SDL2 programs out there released recently ?

Question:
How many of you still with issues with new r6_2 ?


Edit:

eastone says unsupported mouse: Why now and not before ?

I can speculate about that and that's why I wrote try other recent SDL2 compiled programs.

@eastone

I fixed all demo stuff failing but no new Readme by now.

@Cowcat :

>no unfortunaly but maybe it's a problem of TinyGL ?

Yes my mouse was supported before.

> Yes i will try

On the Radeon X1950 machine, mouse movement does not work, only when you hold down the mlook key you can move the figure forward and backward. I have two identical mice.

Just FYI - I had no mouse issues with the 9650 with all the above latest updates

@ghh

thanks for this video!

Ouchie, that's a pretty bad framerate. Any chance I could get you to send me an email with instructions on how to reproduce this scenario? I'd love to check out why the performance completely tanks.

@Bigfoot

The Artifact (Resurrection of Evil) when activated in the game is meant to slow everything down so you can pass or complete some task among other uses. I would say that part is normal. The problem is that the graphics are inverted upside down with a mirror image when you activate it.

https://doom.fandom.com/wiki/The_Artifact

edit: The Soul Cube is similar to the Artifact and what it is called in the original Doom 3.
