#7629: weird effects.. anyone get these?

by marlon on 03/04/2007 01:46

Anyone else having this problem?

I\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'m seeing occasional sparkling and flashing when i move around levels in Sauerbaten.

Sometimes it looks sort of like z-buffer fighting, but not exactly. Other times it looks like an errant polygon vertex thats stretched out to a random point.

these seem to last a single frame but flicker in and out repeatedly.. they disappear when i walk closer to them.

I\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'m on AMD 2.5, BFGtech GeForce 6600 GT OC.

Wierd, usually it works fine on gforce.. (your problems actually sound more like ati) and yours is a quality geforce afaik..
Are you sure your drivers and system work the way they should?

Noticed something else

When i get these weird glitches, i would alt-tab out of sauerbaten (in full screen mode) to another app... then alt-tab back to sauer.. the effects are gone and it looks fine.

But then eventually as i wander to another part of the map and the flickering glitches return.

Seems to have something to do with memory allotment somewhere... perhaps the driver is buggy.. hmm

I have the latest drivers installed, haven't tweaked anything - all default.

Don't go blaming sauerbraten on this. I know I did not have this problem until my video card was overheating...I suggest you check your heat sink and fan on your video card...it's clogged. The damage you're seeing should not be permanent as long as you fix the cause soon.

If the heat actually was not the problem, there is a command you can use to get rid of those verts that seem to go to infinity. At the console in the game, try floatvtx 1. If this works for you, you can add it to your autoexec.cfg so it loads this way every time you run sauer.

#7634: How easy is this to mod?

by Hemlock on 03/04/2007 19:53

I;m a total noob, is there an SDK or is it mostly just a map editor?

the game is solid as heck and I'd love to mess with it a it if it's not unrealistic...

There is no sdk - there´s the source (c++) and the in-game editing.

31 must mean 5 arithmetic failures. Each time, another \ comes from the single quote, and every \ is escaped thus: \\

5*2 = um, 55? No. How about 22222?

Stop nagging ... that sure ain't a technique to make ppl. more responsive - quite the reverse actually :-P

Try reading:
http://cube.wikispaces.com/FAQ
http://cube.wikispaces.com/Beginners+Guide
and also
http://cube.wikispaces.com/Performance+Guide

When nothing there helps you, it would help us help you if you told us a bit about your setup. We know you're running XP - but what hardware are you running on?

#7643: Hellllllllpppp!!!!!!!

by Snooglebum on 03/06/2007 19:04

Sorry. I wasn't getting any response... So...
Well, anyway, these are my system specs: (I think)
Microsoft Windows XP Professional, version 2002
Service Pack 2
AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2800+
2.08 GHz, 512 MB of RAM
Graphics Card:
Nvidia GeForce FX 5700, 256 MB.

Yes, I am being obnoxious, because people are simply not checking FAQs or manuals...

I am sorry about that, but this is the way I go ^_^

#7645: refresh rate problems on linux

by {LiD}CC_machine-ThatLinuxNewbie on 03/06/2007 23:24

ok, so i recently persuaded myself to try installing Linux. Installed, got latest nvidia drivers, Installed beryl+xgl (this is awesome!)
Anyway, my problem is my screen\'s refresh rate deafaults to 85hz in sauerbraten - which my 15\" flatpanel has problems with. I can do \"nvidia-settings\" in a commandline and force refresh rate back down to 70 with sauerbraten windowed and then play windowed flawlessly, but i really want it working properly fullscreen :(

is there some simple way to do it like force resolution for all graphics somewhere?

hardware: some ATI motherboard, geforce 6600, amd sempron 6600, 1gb ram.
software: xubuntu 6.06.1 (ubuntu with Xfce instead of GNOME, but many gnome apps still work).

have you toyed with "maxfps" or your vsync-setting?

Usually, the refresh rate should be handled fine - Sauerbraten has nothing to do with your monitor´s refresh rate - it must be an issue with X - maybe you need to tell X what refresh rates your monitor can handle in diffrent resolutions. (in xorg.cfg)..
