Not sure. Could be a prob with the Zpack or something else. Anyways, I'll try running it again with everything except for that feature.

Bob, you may want to hold off on that.  I just tried that last build and everything is great.  FPS is at 37.5 most of the time(1024x768x32 on a Gefroce 4 MX 420!), varying only slightly usually higher, until I do one of 3 things that I have identified so far:

1. Look at the sun in a given mission
2. Look at anything larger than corvette sized(Psamtik and the asteroid base so far)
3. Look at those funky green afterburners

I don't know if this is me or the build but I thought you might need to know before you did anything irreversable.

It may be some of the extra-large size artwork, I don't remember installing it but I may have.

do you want me to upload a FRAPS movie of it?  It'd take a while cause I'm on a 56k.

might just be your card, not sure what phreak does, but I doubt it'd be anything that causes problems, the only slow downs I ever experience is when ships (big ships) explode, but then again I have a 9800 pro, turn on the timer bars and tell me how big the red bars are in comparason to the other color bars.
the problem with the sun and the green after burners makes me think that you have oversized artwork.

That's weird,  I turned on the timer bars with the -timerbar switch and it didn't do it.

Took a second to check with TBs off and it still doesn't do it.  Very strange.

It's not surprising considering the massive memory leaks currently.

WMcoolmon, are you gonna look into the problems with the new escort list?  I've seen it mentioned before, where a ship being destroyed or departing, will cause the escort display to temporarily remove all ships from the "monitoring" list.  If you hit "e", it'll still select the ships flagged as escort ships, but the list will be gone from the hud... although the "monitoring" header will still be there.  Usually, the list is restored as soon as an escort ship arrives.

I think it should be fixed in Bobb's env-mapping build, if you can get it to work.

I just finished trying Bob's latest (pre-env integration) build for playtesting Inferno+Patch.  I usually play in OGL mode because of the massive ships & large maps, but I found that none of Bob's builds seem to work with OGL.  I'll let this picture speak for itself.



I've tried every one of Bob's builds since the beginning of the "reintogration" (well, I didn't test any of his prior stuff, so it may go back further) have this problem.  However, I tried WMcoolmon's 6/25 build and that didn't have this problem.  It also fixed the OGL positioning bug I was encountering.  I did have a CTD at one point, so I'll have to give it a try again, but I thought I'd report this since it does break OGL.

Later!

OpenGL works weirdly for me, too. At least it has always been working strangely with any FSO builds. In any game, though.

I said fifteen times now, don't use OGL, OGL is broke till one of the OGL people comes in and implements this, and it shouldn't take that long (but it is) because the changes needed are trivial. I just don't know the three OGL function needed

I don't remember seeing that anywhere, actually.
