graphics & sound bugs

[Gari]

Hi,

I recently installed the latest release of spring on my linux distro (kubuntu), using the new svn repositorie. I tried to play (xtape on smalldivide against aai) and it worked quite well, however I have some minor bugs (minor as I can still play with them).

The first one concerns the graphics : shots dont appear. I mean, I don's see any "bullet" or any other "laser shot" when units are firing. Moreover, smoke appears "weird".
The second one concerns the sound. Sometimes, I don't really know when, some errors appear in the console, telling that it cannot play a sound.

Here are some screenshots :
The weird smoke :


The shoot bug :


And the sound bug :


thanks !

You need to copy the shaders from trunk/game/shaders and the data from trunk/game/bitmaps to your spring datadir.

Thanks. I just did it ; it didn't change a thing :s The smoke and shots are still bad.

I found (guessed :p) what the event about the missing sound was : the destruction of something.
When a unit or building is destroyed, the error message about the sound not possible to find appears.

Reinstalling using keithjr's setup guide resolved the bugs. Weird :)

I have exactly this problem when I play using a self-compiled version. When I compile it myself, I get lots of warnings like this:

FBO.obj : warning LNK4217: locally defined symbol ___glewDeleteFramebuffersEXT imported in function "public: virtual __thiscall FBO::~FBO(void)" (??1FBO@@UAE@XZ)
TerrainVertexBuffer.obj : warning LNK4217: locally defined symbol ___glewDeleteBuffersARB imported in function "public: void __thiscall terrain::VertexBuffer::Free(void)" (?Free@VertexBuffer@terrain@@QAEXXZ)

There's 31 glew-related warnings like this in total - I suspect they're causing these graphical issues...

No they're normal and they don't cause the graphical glitches - the glitches are caused by outdated datafiles.

From that shot i see the GUI has finally got better buttons, the fire at will etc stuff is amazingly hard to see for me, can't wait to see those new buttons.

Thats the new GUI? Looks (a little) better than the current one, but what does "fight" mean

[Masse]

thats not the new gui damn it its improved old one

[ILMTitan]

@nobody2u Fight is like patrol, but doesn't automaticly repeat.

I really want those buttons.

Then I could see if my units have orders to shoot or not.

I've got the same graphical problems. When I looked in infolog.txt it had these lines which caught my eye:

Section resources\graphics\projectiletextures missing in file gamedata/resources.tdf
Section resources\graphics\projectiletextures missing in file gamedata/resources.tdf
Section resources\graphics\groundfx missing in file gamedata/resources.tdf
Section resources\graphics\groundfx missing in file gamedata/resources.tdf

Could anyone help?

[hyinennn]

Nevermind, I got the game working now

for anyone else experiencing this later, no need to res the thread: erasing your 0.72 data tarball and grabbing the 0.73 one from berlios will solve it. (dont forget to copy over mods & maps)
