Please post your bug reports in here.

With your bug report, please submit the following information:

1) OS: Your operating system, i.e. Linux, Windows, or otherwise and what version you are using.

2) 3D card: The 3D card you are using. If you do not know, this is printed on the "Renderer:" line in the console when Sauerbraten starts up.

3) The edition of Sauerbraten you are using, i.e. Assassin edition, CVS as of a particular date, or otherwise.

4) Error information: If you are on Windows, a pop-up message showing filenames and line numbers should show up when Sauerbraten crashes; if possible, post a screenshot or a copy/paste of this. If on Linux, post a log of the startup info from the console, including relevant errors or any info you might have discovered. If on MacOS X, please post the crash log if applicable.

5) A description of the problem and how to reproduce it. Please give as much detail as possible on how someone can recreate the problem, in as certain terms as you can. If someone else can't reproduce the problem, it is unlikely he can fix it or tell you what is wrong.

#257: Odd rendering in edit mode.

by Stotto on 06/14/2009 05:13

Windows XP SP3
Radeon 9500 / Current drivers off ati.amd.com (OpenGL Version 6.14.10.5819)
Trooper edition.

When I go into edit mode, on many of the standard maps, much of the map gets
textured with skybox texture, in irregular patches, which may have ragged edges and which may flicker rapidly between skybox and the intended texture.
Skybox texture is shown regardless of what is actually behind the surface.

academy, metl2, metl3, refuge & reissen all do this - complex, douze, ot, nmp8
& wdcd don't.

I can't find any reference to catalyst AI in the Control Centre - perhaps only later Radeons have this ?

You need to use the advanced interface in ATI-CC.

You can also try 'ati_skybox_bug 1' in your autoexec.cfg

#261: Re: Odd rendering in edit mode.

by Stotto on 06/14/2009 06:44, refers to #260

The advanced interface is on, but it isn't there.

ati_skybox_bug didn't make a difference.
(with the game restarted after changing autoexec.cfg)

a. Right click anywhere on your desktop
b. Left click on the ATI Catalyst™ Control Center option
c. Click the View Menu Option
d. Select the Advanced View Option (notice the list of items under Graphics Settings)
e. Select the 3D option (to expand it) under Graphic Settings
f. Select the ATI Catalyst™ A.I. option under the 3D heading
g. Ensure that Disable ATI Catalyst™ A.I. is selected. If so, add a checkmark.
i. Click Apply

Oops, typo. Is actually a Radeon 9250. So no AI.

#268: Gamma Problem

by JD on 06/17/2009 07:02

OS: Windows XP SP3
3D Card: Nvidia 9600GT with v186.08 drivers
Build: latest in SVN right before I posted this.

Problem: The gamma is not being set in the game, and the error message of \"Could not set gamma (card/driver doesn\'t support it?)\" is returned followed by the sdl error \"Ramp Manipulation Not Supported\".

I have read online that the method you are using to set the gamma, SDL_SetGamma(), doesn\'t work with some Nvidia cards like mine. Please use an alternative method to set the gamma if SDL_SetGamma() gamma returns -1 because the game is too dark for me with the default value.

#269: Re: Gamma Problem

by Hirato Kirata on 06/17/2009 08:01, refers to #268

sounds like either a windows problem or a driver problem

I have the exact same GPU, and no such problems exist here (mind you, I don't use windows either)

you should probably check if the nvidia forums have any mention of similar problems on windows systems

#270: Re: Gamma Problem

by JD on 06/17/2009 08:37, refers to #269

\"sounds like either a windows problem or a driver problem\"

That could very well be, but it is also irrelevant because Cube could be written with an alternative or fallback method to set the gamma as other games have done. From what I have read online by other game developers, SDL_SetGamma() is simply a poor way to do it when it comes to compatibility because some video cards don\'t support hardware gamma setting. That is why fallback methods are implemented too if SDL_SetGamma() is still used.

#271: Re: Gamma Problem

by baby~rabbit on 06/17/2009 11:19, refers to #270

One short term solution: there should be some button on your monitor to adjust gamma/contrast/brightness...

reply to this message

#272: Re: Gamma Problem

by JD on 06/17/2009 15:12, refers to #271

"there should be some button on your monitor to adjust gamma/contrast/brightness..."

The brightness of my monitor is set fine. Only Cube is too dark. My other games (which have working gamma controls), applications, and Windows desktop are fine. Having to adjust my monitor for one game and then to readjust it when exiting would be a pain even if it did work to brighten the game which it doesn't as my monitor's brightness is already near its 100% setting.

The only real viable solution is to have a working gamma control in Cube. I doubt I am the only one afflicted with this problem even if it goes unreported in this forum.
