This is what is going to happen, since the only title image in the game is in .png format. So, if you turn off SDL_Image, you can't load it.

Yeah, I thought so.

There should be a workaround for this, like the possibility that .bmp is the least preferred format, so that there can be default .bmp and a preferred .png or .jpg...

You could copy an old version of the fonts.bmp into your /basicdat folder to get around this temporarily.

Alright, I'll try it.

I think I fixed this problem.

Also made some tweaks to (hopefully) remove a longstanding bug with SDL_mixer crashing the program if you disable it.

I guess the problem is fixed?

Anyway, I'm going to make the input menu control work for all of the devices including joysticks.

Then I'm going to backport the multiple character selection and menu configuration from the trunk so that hotseat will work.

Ah, no, I'm afraid it isn't, I just forgot to post about it.

With SDL_Image disabled and font.png converted to font.bmp (I couldn't find an original version of it), I get... ...this.

It didn't crash, but you don't expect me to play like that, right? As a side note, this is supposed to be the ice palace.

There have been 2 updates since then, but I'm pretty sure it won't fix the in-game display.

I'll have a look in my computer.

Made another update (now at revision 399)

- made some minor mods to the way that SDL initializes. may get some more detailed debug info if there is a problem
- made more mods to the way that textures are handled so that NOW, if a you have the SDL_IMAGE flag set to "FALSE" then invalid textures will display as white. I actually checked that this is running on my machine, so any problems on another machine are probably due to the graphics settings and NOT the loading or displaying of the textures
- fixed an error in the script handling, where a "break" command was missing odd of one of the cases
- moved the IDSZ definitions to egobootypedef.h
- fixed a long-standing problem where we had defined IDSZNONE and IDSZ_NONE with 2 different values, and so they were confused. This caused some problems with the module unlock system

-------------------------------------

@Clonkinator,

What Zefz actually did to get your previous version running (if it ever did) was to take all of the graphics settings down to the absolute worst when SDL_IMAGE was set to FALSE. He did not actually disable the loading of that module or the use of it to load up textures.

From the example screenshot that you posted, it seems like your card is not supporting alpha blitting properly ( which is why you are getting white around the font ). This did not happen on my machine when I tested turned off SDL_IMAGE.

To duplicate Zefz patch from before, you need to set you texture filtering to NONE.

You will still not have the bitmap for the health bars, since that is a png-based image.

Try updating to the current svn version. There is a slight chance that I accidentally committed up a version that had a bug with the mesh display.

Okay, updated to the newest revision and set texture filtering to NONE (SDL_Image is still set to FALSE). As a result, I get this:

Still Ice Palace, still pretty much the same as before, except for the font now showing up correctly. ...sigh. I'm sorry for all the trouble I'm causing.

that cannot possibly be the latest svn, because it does not have the following in the log

That was changed several updates ago, so I think I will not be able to do anything for you until you update.

Why do you think I'd lie to you? Revision #399 is the newest one, right?

Post by **bgbirdsey** » Thu Mar 26, 2009 12:18 pm

You need to build the new binary from the svn files.

You should see from your TortoiseSVN (or the SVN revision number, which you can make available in your directory listing) that the executable is not being updated.

Since I have a different build environment compared to zefz, I probably have different .dll dependencies and I do not want to spend a lot of time trying out different things to make my build system conform to his format.

It is *possible* for me to upload a new .exe, but it would be better for me to send you a .zip with the executible and the version of the .dlls that I am using.

Shade · Post by **Shade** » Thu Mar 26, 2009 1:10 pm

Oh, it's about the new binary... Sorry then.
Yeah, send me a .zip with your dlls and that stuff, that's fine. ._.

Post by **bgbirdsey** » Thu Mar 26, 2009 2:30 pm

well, I will have to know where to send it. send me a pm with an email address, or let me know if I should try to post it on the web.

I'm going to port a system into eogboo that will determine the SDL and OpenGL device caps and make sure that the video mode is valid before trying to set the SDL video mode.

WORKAROUND:
I pretty sure that the [Z_DEPTH] tag is set to be too high. That was not previously implemented. Try values of 24, 16 or 8 in that field.
