Spring RTS Engine

Set shadows=0 in ~/.springrc Or maybe even shadows=-1 to also disable the check for the required extension and accompanied warning, though I'm not 100% sure about this. Nope, changing it to 0 didn't work nor did changing it to -1. Still grey maps. I think it is the extension GL_EXT_texture_compress...

Maybe the chipset/driver doesn't have proper support for DXT1 compressed textures? Is there an easy way to check if my driver supports DXT1? I think my card supports DXT1 because I didn't have these issues when I was still running windows. By the way Warzone2100 works fine with me. No white maps at...

Wow, that's very good! But, uhm how do I disable shadowmaps?

Can maybe someone of the spring development team give a reaction on this issue?

imbaczek, can you check your infolog.txt for that shadowmaps error? And do you have a ati card for your laptop, or something else and which drivers are you using?

You are missing an OpenGL extension needed to use shadowmaps (fragment_program_shadow)

Hmm, that's the same message as in my infolog. Maybe it does have something to do with those shadows maps?

The infolog.txt didn't gave any valuable information. There's was this message though: You are missing an OpenGL extension needed to use shadowmaps (fragment_program_shadow) But as far as I can remember I've been having this message as long as I have been playing spring. Even on windows I had this m...

Hey guys any idea why in linux the maps are always gray for me? The units for me are coloured by any map will just be gray? I have the exact same problem. But... You have an ATI card and are using the open source drivers right? What is your distro? ...yes, I have an ati card with the open source dr...

moon. Together with...

Glad to hear you're back, hollowsoul! I still have unitysinc.so of the 0.74b2 version and 0.74b3 version. No the ubuntu package, is that of any use to you? Or which unitysync do you mean exactly?

Can anyone help me whit these white maps? It's really initiating to play on white maps. But it seems, that the radeon drivers are crap and the official, closed source ones dropped support for it. Indeed, lowzy ati. Why can't they just open the design of these older cards so people can create decent ...

architeuthis, I got that error myself trying to join a game I didnt have the mod for by accident.. That, could have been the case... But I cant remember exactly. I just tried out 22a and I received this error when trying to log in. http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/7754/error1jy9.th.png I'm sure I...

AF, I just tried out Aflobby alpha 21. It looks quite good. But when I tried to join a battle (I don't know if aflobby is already supposed to do this, but I tried to do it anyway) aflobby crashed and I got this error message (in the terminal): unitsync: Unitsync assertion failed: unitsync.cpp:651: A...

I know how to install the fglrx drivers :-) . But they don't work correctly for my graphics card, the 3d support of fglrx for my card was always very limited and is broken in the 28.8.8 version (segmentation faults with spring for example see my old thread about it here: http://spring.clan-sy.com/ph...

I'm having the same issue as Caradhras atm with the white textures. I updated to Ubuntu feisty so I could use my ati radeon 9250 again (the kernel in edgy had a bug which prevented the open source ati drivers from working, I had to use them because the closed source drivers are crap). So now all the...

Xubuntu? I know you said no ubuntu, but xubuntu (XFCE environment instead of Gnome or KDE) is designed to work better with older hardware due to less resource demands. Maybe http://www.fluxbuntu.org (I know you said no Ubuntu) , fluxbuntu is reported to work with just 96 MB RAM and a slower CPU tha...

I use a Radeon 9800Pro with the radeon drivers for it and pleeeeeeeeease dont tell me that ati is crap for Linux. You mean the open source radeon drivers? I know they work really slow, they only support efficient 3d acceleration on cards like the ati radeon 9250 and older. Have you tried out the cl...

These are some of the open source games I've played at least once. Some of them can appeal real gamers, but most of them are smaller and more "primitive" games. RTS: - Globulation http://globulation2.org/wiki/Main_Page ; unique but fun game to play once and a while. - Warzone2100 Resurrect...

AF, if you don't want to do virtualisation you can try this out: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/install.exe/Prototype It's a program which installs Ubuntu "inside" windows, without the need of virtualisation or partitioning. I don't know if it's already completely usable or functional, but it cam...
