Hello, I need help test my new freespace exe that fixes a bug.
I just need people to take my exe and load it up have a quick look at the Hall graphics and tell me if its working right.
The exe is about 700 k rar'ed up.
Or 1 Meg as a zip file
Cards tested so far:
Member Card type OS Result
OUTSIDER Voodoo 3 win98 Works fine
OUTSIDER Geforce 2 2000 Works fine
Me Geforce 4 PNY 4600 XP Works fine
JBX-Phoenix Geforce 4 PNY XP Works fine
Send me an e-mail for the exe.
Please help.

:lol:

You need testes? Surely no-one needs more than two?:D
-
Oh, and I need testeRs as well.
-
God damn it! I cant change the tile. Oh well, I'll just have to sit here and look stupid.
-
:p
-
BwaHaHa!
You see, it's my purpose to make people look stupid, HaHa.:mad2:
-
Ok heres something to make this easy on you all:
OK, for now the exe is at http://www.ijbrooks.demon.co.uk/tom/XPGF4.rar
But its very important that regardless of whether it works or not you report:
Your graphics card name, type and any other info
Your operating system
What you are looking for is any defects in the display of the fonts and if the animation of the doors and stuff in the hallway bit changes size when you move your mouse over and away
-
I'll test it with my TNT2 Model 64 (16 MB) on W98SE.

A fantastic way of drawing attention to your thread masquerading as a spelling mistake. I'm impressed.
-
What bug have you fixed with this update anyway?

Yes... of course! I'm very clever.

It was a bug on geforce 3 and 4 that made font look horrible. Thats fixed but now Im testing if my fix has caused any problems for other cards before I put it in the CVS. So far it looks good.
TNT2 and Voodoo 3 are happy. However if you have a different card test it now. If you cant be bothered dont blame me the next version of fs2_open doesnt look right.
-
Aha. The famous anti-aliasing bug. I`ll give it a try.
-
:lol: Oh what a title.... :lol: (sorry for the spam, but really...)
-
Laugh if you like, but take part as well
-
ROTFLMAO :lol:
I literally fell offmy chair at that title. If you'd been here just a l;ittle longer, you'd probably get a custom title for that, just to ensure you'd never live it down :)

I would test it for you but ths comp wont open .rar files so if you could post a link of a file type such as .zip i will test it for you.
-
will test and get back to you
-
Actually I won't be testing it at all - the rar is corrupted according to WinRar

I dont have the space to post a zip Im afraid. I used a rar because its smaller. I could e-mail it to you if a meg is not too much. You should consider getting winrar, its actually a lot nicer than winzip and on the last check it does a lot more.
Looks like my fix is OK, though I could do with someone testing on a matrox card. I might not check it in yet because some major things seem to be happening to fs2_open.
The change (which has been posted in the code formum) is very small and simple can be implemented and anyone can always get a copy of the exe of me.
But people please remember: IF YOU TEST IT TELL ME THE RESULT AND WHAT GRAPHICS CARD AND OS YOU HAVE. Otherwise theres not much point.
-
This I would really like to see, since I have been getting a bit annoyed with the blurry text and screen glitches lately. (I can fix it by doing a registry hack, but then I cannot use AA) The rar file appears to be unreadable though, according to Winrar.
-
Totally sucks doesnt it. Also you can play FS1 through FS2 exe and avoid it there as well.
What on earth did you change in the registry to fix it?
And whats AA?
Also what graphics card do you have?
Just downloaded it. Opens fine for me. Try getting the latest version of winrar. Or I'll e-mail you it if you want. Or compile it yourself with the code that I have posted.

Here is a post I made some months ago about this problem:
There are two ways two work around this problem:
1: Turn on antialiasing - side effect is the funny black lines crossing through the screen
2: Go into the following directory in Regedit:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Volition/Freespace2
Add in a DWORD value in here called D3DTextureOrigin and set its value to 1. Things should now look just like they did with your old graphics card. The deficiency here is the lack of antialiasing, which makes the game look far better in my opinion. Also, be sure not to use both methods at the same time, since that messes up the text once again. Hope that helps.
AA is anti-aliasing. ;) I usually use 2x, but "quincunx" also works well. I have a standard (non-Ti) 64MB Geforce3 running at 250/575mhz (25% o'c). Could you email this exe to me at [email protected]? (I would compile it myself but I know very little about c++ and will probably end up doing it wrong :p)
-
Need testes, please help
Hmm. Ask around, someone's bound to have a spare. :lol:
sorry I couldn't resist :D
-
It would be much appreciated if you could email the .zip file to me at :- [email protected]
-
ROFLMAO!!! I know it's probs wearing a bit thin, but I've only just seen the post title, and I just had to leave the room to stop myself from keep reading it and bursting out into fits of laughter!
I'll give it a go on my GeForce 4 and let you know what happens :)
