I'm trying to use a recent CVS of fs2_open under Ubuntu 5.10, but everytime I run any copy I get my hands on (either through the recent builds forum of compiling myself from CVS) after the compile or install, when I try to run it, it says this:

Unrecognized command line parameter "-d3dmipmap".  Exiting...

I'm not even using any command line paramaters! What should I do?

Mipmaps are handled automagically now.

[sanmadjack]

That's great, and I'm sure effort went into making it so, but that doesn't change that it's saying this to me when I'm not even using such a paramater.

[WMCoolmon]

Erg, check the ".fs2_open" folder in your home directory or the fs2_open config file. It may be in there.

[sanmadjack]

Already checked that, I even tried deleting the ~/.fs2_open folder, it still says it when I try to run it.

[sanmadjack]

found it you were right. It was in data/cmdline_fso.cfg which I asume is a holdover from windows. I'm again happy and grateful for all the hard work taht's gone into this wonderful project.

Look into your data-Directory. There's a cmdline.cfg (or maybe still an cmdline_fso.cfg)...
Take a look into it.

@WMCoolmon:
Sure that it is handled automatically?
Theres still a flag
-mipmap

[WMCoolmon]

The '-mipmap' flag turns on automatic mipmapping, right?

That option turns on automatic mipmap generation but actual use of mipmaps is automatic whether you use the option or not.  Use of mipmap levels for compressed DXT? will get used automatically and automatic mipmap use for uncompressed DDS will get fixed for OGL real soon.  Basically use DDS (either compressed or uncompressed) for pretty much everything and you will not ever need -mipmap since the image should already have to mipmaps created.  Uncompressed DDS is basically TGA so you don't have to lose any quality using it and you get the option of having mipmaps already generated.
