#6982: How do I turn on HDR lighting?

by Zamboro on 11/13/2006 06:21

In the menu I can scroll down to the "full screen effects", "HDR" and "Bloom" options but no keys I press will alter the values.

How do I turn these effects on?

You might not have a video card that supports full screen shaders. You need shader model 2.0 support.. and for it to be playable, a decent card. A 9600XT minimum can have the bloom, but only if you disable the normalmaps..

Ideally, a GeForce 6600 minimum for good performance and all shaders on :D

No, I have an ATI X1800. Trust me, it's plenty powerful enough. The "performance" section of the menu has "Turned OFF" at the top with all of the effects options below it. I cannot turn it on or select any of the bloom levels, I hit enter but it has no effect.

Try putting this into the console:

setfullscreenshader bloom 60

Change the number to your liking. If that fails, then update your drivers. If they're the latest version, then you're an unfortunate owner of an ATI card.

Nvidia cards run Sauerbraten the best.

man you have some real n00bs going around here.

"if i create a game, can i sell it???"
if he has to ask that, he is not capable of "creating" a game.

theres "praxbel" who has been repeatedly getting censored for whatever reason, probably a 14-year-old geek with no life, friends, experence, future

theres the "Help me!serious problem" thread obviously also written by some 14 year old.

ugh.

I've forgotten who the real prax is. Doesn't help that he uses 1800 cookies.

Prax? WHERE ARE YOU!!

Thanks, the problem was that I had FSAA turned on which apparently conflicts with HDR.

Hrmm.. no from my understanding it doesn't.. at least for Nvidia cards. I run Sauerbraten w/2xQ AA and it runs fine with all shader settings on max. Including the bloom (which is not HDR).

Is there anyone still developing cube 1?

Cube 1 is so cool... such a shame to let it rust :(

Sauerbraten ist Cube 2, so why still develop Cube 1? ;)

#6993: Re: ..

Because, IMO, Sauerbraten is very good, but could not replace Cube.

Looks like Prax doesn't activate the Cookies, so he have to recreate an account at every time :)

#6995: Installing Linux Graphics Drivers

by takua00108 on 11/14/2006 20:05

I've looked all over the Internet, and I can't seem to figure out how to install the neccessary drivers to play Sauerbraten on my newly installed Fedora Core 6 partition.

I have an nVidia GeForce 6200, so I went to the nVidia site and downloaded the driver installation wizard thing. When I ran it, it said I can't run it in X.

After a half hour of looking, I finally figured out how to close X, and then it said I had to be root. I became root, ran it, and another error message came up, can't remember what it was exactly. I'll post it when I get home today.

Am I missing something? Is there an easier, less-brain-cell-killing method to allow me to play Sauerbraten on Linux? (I /can/ play now, but it goes under seven frames per second at minimum resolution, and everything good is disabled.)

I tried googled "+fedora +nvidia" ...
Maybe you can try http://www.fedorafaq.org/#nvidia

It pertains to Fedora5 but I guess it's still a valid walk-through.

You needn't exit X simply because an app doesn't use a graphical user interface (GUI) ... open an xterm, or switch to another console (Ctrl+Alt+[F1-F7]) ...

HTH

I\\\'ll be happy to try the tutorial you linked to, but when I downloaded the nVidia drivers from *their website,* the wizard program to install the drivers said it had to be run outside of X, meaning not in an xterm. I tried that. And when I did CTRL+ALT+F[n], X was still running, and it wouldn\'t let me use it.

#6998: Source Practices

by rhys42penguin on 11/14/2006 23:27

Why are there a whole bunch of functions in .h files? Headers should only be for declarations, actual code should be .c or .cpp.
