    Hey guys,

    The 3.3 update went well, no problems as far as I can see, still running great on my g5 mac! Thanks! :)

    I do have a question about graphics, though. I have a radeon 9600 and am about to swap in a radeon 9800 xt. One big bonus for me when I initially installed morphos on my mac mini is the goa/warp3d support. Is there any plan to implement this support onto other graphics boards? Particularly some of the ones I have listed here which are supported, but not for w3d?

    I know new games aren't written for warp3d but I didn't get morphos necessarily to just plan new games :)

    Thanks!

    I started porting wazp3d to morphos a few months ago. The software rasterizer already works, but I'm currently busy with Magellan, so I don't know when will I have time to finish the opengl version.

    Magellan can wait :) Wazp3D need more :)

    I only wrote the library glue, and fixed the things needed to get the software rasterizer to work. Alain is working on the tinygl support, and I have no access to his current code. If he won't get on with it, he'll send it to me, and I'll have a look at it too.

    Hello

    I just maded some tests & changes on Wazp3D : now it begin to draw = I have obtained 66 fps on old cow3D

    :-)

    More tomorrow ... now I will dinner

    Very nice.
    I am not one of the people that is hung up on Warp3D compatibility, but the longer I am here the more I tend to favor retention of legacy functions.

    Hello all

    Just to say that I have now Wazp3D ppc using hardware TinyGL on Morphos :-)
    It give around 63 to 66 FPS on Cow3D (Cow3D 68k + Key 'b' = bufferize animation) on a Powerbook G4

    Badly when started a second time Cow3D + Wazp3D crash ...So I cant release such a buggy Wazp3D version :-/

    Crash happen in glAInitializeContextBitMap(bm)
    But TinyGL is ok as glGetString(GL_VENDOR)); works
    and the bitmap bm from WaRp3D (seems) to be ok as WaZp3D can detect bitmap size & format

    So for the moment I have no idea what cause the crash....
    So I deeply need a true Morphos guru

    Henes ? Fab ?

    First of all enable tinygl debug. You can do it with setenv save TGLDEBUG 1. Then please post a log here (together with stacktrace). Another thing with GLA context which you have to take special care with is not to delete rendering target before deleting GLA context. So if You have a context for a bit then be really careful to do it like this:

    allocbitmap
    initializecontext (please use tagged glAInitializeContext instead of glAInitializeContextBitMap as that one is deprecated)
    ...rendering...
    glaDestroyContext
    freebitmap

    Hello

    Thanks kiero : this time it works well even if I run Cow3D several times :-)

    In fact the error was that I was closing TinyGL.library in the GL code but this library must stay opened until WaZ/Rp3D.library itself close (ie until all Warp3D tasks are closed)
    Stupid me...

    Now I will clean the code and add some stuffs (not morphos related)
    So expect a Wazp3D for Morphos for christmas ;-)

    BTW many thanks to BSzili that maded the initial Wazp3D port (software only) to Morphos :-)

    Hello folks

    It seems that "perspective texturing" dont works :-(
    I am using this command in the opengl (TinyGL) wrapper
    glTexCoordPointer(4, GL_FLOAT, 4*4,V);
    and it dont seems to works on Morphos
    (but the same code worked on WinUAE/PC version)

    It is needed as WaZ/Rp3D works in "screen space" so need a W coordinate for perspective correction
    Is there a problem in TinyGL concerning this function ???
    Is there an other function that use W coordinate (= q coordinate in OpenGL terminlogy) that works ?

    Alain Thellier

    Wazp3D-Morphos tests:
    Cow3D-68k: works 95%
    BlitzQuake-68k: works but texturing is false (= lack of perspective correction)
    TheVague1-68k: works 100%
    TheVague2-68k: works 100%
    GlExcess-Os3-68k: works but texturing is false too + coloring problems (so StormMesa2010 68k partially works :-) as GlExcess use it)
    WipeOut_2097_Demo: dont start... (problem with my WipeoutLoader usage?)
    Cube-68k: dont start
    Chromium-68k: dont start
    IhaveNoTomatoes-68k: dont start
    ... the lasts 3 are certainly lacking an SDL or ixemul version

    Hmmm, not sure if we tested use of 4 component texture coordinates. On what hardware are you running it? r200 or r300 radeon?

    Dont know :it is a powebook g4 alu with a big screen
    Will check tomorrow

    BTW do you know if the WipeOut_2097_Demo from aminet also works on Morphos ? or only the full game version ?
