Spring on Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion)

[danielb1981]

Hi Guys,

My first post here, so thanks for reading, I hope I get it right... I've been searching for my answer all weekend but couldn't find anything specific. I hoped I'm just overlooking something simple.

After much trial and error and helpful online guides I managed to get spring to install on my mac.

The problem I have is running in fullscreen mode is the following error, when loading typing "spring" or "spring -f" in the terminal.

Could not set video mode:
Error setting OpenGL fullscreen: invalid fullscreen drawable

If I run "spring -w" then it works but windowed, which sucks as hot corners open, etc, etc. Plus I also find fullscreen feels better". I can't even find anyone else having this issue.

It seems to be an X11 issue, but I am a complete noob with messing around in the terminal on mac, if it weren't for working with Ubuntu for the last few months at the office I doubt I would even have gotten this far.

Any help would really be appreciated.

Dan

check the infolog.txt it contains all valid fullscreen resolutions of your system.

[danielb1981]

Thanks for your fast response. I checked that but it seems like it should be fine.

I have included my Log output. and also my config file.

Any further help is much appreciated

This is what my terminal says:

sorry, must be some system+SDL incompability then, no chance for us to fix this.

btw you can type "/grabinput" in the chat console to lock the mouse not to leave the window.

[danielb1981]

Thanks, Bummer... but appreciate the info.

The /grabinput you suggest should at least make it playable.

Dan

If anyone reading this has got spring working on A MBP 2.53 GHz using Lion I'd love to know then I'll bother to find out whats wrong with my system.

:)

Thanks!

[daftalx]

Could you try again with the official bundle and report back?

I just had a chance to try the 0.84 official app build on my MacBook Air, running Lion. It crashes during the game startup phase:

Oooh (does a quick test), that worked. Game loaded and I could move the commander around and do stuff. Will test more extensively later.

re: fullscreen
http://www.ultimaaiera.com/blog/apples- ... sed-games/

Apple has deprecated carbon and started breaking the functionality. Now you should use cocoa (via objective c) to make your fullscreen window. I'm using GLFW rather than SDL, the advantage being that GLFW is a fair bit smaller and simpler and easier to make fixes for (it doesn't do all the unnecessary stuff for direct access to frame-buffer in fullscreen mode), as well as does actually use Cocoa on OS X.

According to the same post, latest SDL builds have been fixed to accommodate this issue. That actually makes more sense than forcing all SDL apps to opt out...
As soon as an official build gets in the wild, I'll make sure it feeds your lion

[dizekat]

The thing is you have to do such stuff in advance... it was deprecated for ages, and on apple deprecated means - we broke it a bit and will break it even more in next release. That's why GLFW switched from carbon to cocoa before Lion happened. The Lion happened on July 20th, the SDL is still 'fixes in mercurial'.

[daftalx]

Ok. Shame on SDL. We got that.
I for one don't know the other lib enough to pronounce a fair judgement, I will though stay moderate by saying that a framework which is slow to catch up on things doesn't necessarily fail on all other aspects...

Edit: not mentionning the dev time it takes to switch frameworks... And to be honest, for how many users at this very moment ?

[dizekat]

Well yes, that's the issue. It's best if OS X port maintainer builds the latest SDL.
SDL is not really a "framework" as far as spring is concerned... it's just glue code, the only purpose of which is to make spring run well on supported operating systems. SDL is ok-ish under windows and linux.
