what error does PCS 1.x give?

[Bobboau]

probly the recursion error thingy.

like I was saying,
new build now!

[Kazan]

well the way PCS 2.x's compiler handles the infinite recursion bug is by truncating the bad geometry

ok.. buildination - all it really can do right now is rebuild the models.. but i suppose that will allow you to test them.

None. The window turned white and it just disapeared after five hours. (I thought, maybe it just needs some more time... )

Version 1.3.42

[Kazan]

sounds like somehow it got stuck in an infinite loop.. weird.  test it out once i have COB support written

[edit]
here bob was all clammering for a new build.. i give him one and he falls silent

typical

[DaBrain]

I'm really not sure about this, cause the pof also made FS2_open crash, but at least it works correct in Lith.


It looks a bit weird in PCS2...

what is that model brain? terrain? it's probably a texturing problem... checking

looks like it's a lighting issue.. it's causing crashing in my openGL libs on my laptop though

[DaBrain]

Yeah, it's a terrain model. A test for SoL.

I don't think it's a texturing problem. I didn't even use the texture when I loaded it with PCS2, but it did load without a problem and damn fast too.


BTW PCS crashs for me when I resize the window with a model already loaded.

i think it's a lighting issue and PCS isn't loading it's textures [if they're DDS you can forget about it - the DDS loader in DevIL is broken]

i haven't been able to replicate this bug.. it's related to the fact that i have to unload the textures and reload them on resize

[Getter Robo G]

Good news! Those models that caused crash before DON"T! However very few don't appear at all (no solid all black) BUT this does not cause crash and I can simply open a new model... Might be a conversion error. This was noticed earlier but I didn;t say anything as it was rare and thought it might be related and thus fixed next version

I tested quite a few I could not open before - excellent improvement!!!

[Bobboau]

I'm at school. well work, going to work in like a minute

[Kazan]

ah.. i'm changing the way the window resizes so that it doesn't have to reload the wxGLCanvas - so that will make resizing faster, smoother and less prone to crashes..

i'm still trying to figure out why i'm getting crashes inside the ATI OpenGL driver on my laptop when the application is closing.

*bounces back in awe*

Now that I call progress!!


Oh, and on my prior post:

I don't mind if it's toolbar/file menu/button or whatever. I just stated that I'd like to have the functionality to rotate the model a fixed number of degrees.
Though the pic looks like you already implemented buttons.

[Kazan]

People who have been crashing on resize try this build out

some versions of the various openGL drivers out there don't gracefully handle glDeleteTextures(GLint count, GLint *textures) on textures with invalid TexIDs (even glBindTexture does).

that solves the crashing-on-exit and crashing-on-resize.

Also on resize it no longer destroys and recreates the controls, it merely resizes them - this means no disk access/no texture reloads on resize so it resizes smoothly.


Only problem with that is sometimes the openGL window doesn't fully rerender, just rotate the model a tick or something to make it render again.

[DaBrain]

I'm impressed by your woking speed.

I can resize the window without a problem now.

[Kazan]

an hour lunch can net a lot of improvement

do you by chance have an ATI card with a less-than-recent driver?

[DaBrain]

No, NV40 6800LE, Forceware 76.45...

[Kazan]

then both ATI and nVidia's drivers are being slutty about freeing invalid texture handles

were the "invisible ships" using DDS textures?

[edit]
went through all the trouble of compiling the DevIL CVS.. and it didn't make dds work

[Bobboau]

it looks sort of like the normals aren't normal, see if setting the normalize normals thingy fixes this (one line fix that you will know for sure they are normalized when drawen.)
