fast planet rendering

Tarzan02 · Post by **Tarzan02** » Mon Feb 09, 2009 8:13 am

great day for me, i know how to create a package in sourceforge, so tonight i will produce one (a basic to show the engine in progress). i must decide a way to continue the devel: player act as a space force pilot (with more and more experience giving more powerful space ship to command) or base on commerce and mercenary with mission in each space station. I think taht the second way will be more rapidly because with the space force carreer, i want to generate a complete dynamic campaign based on the ressource of each side (URLAN and CONFED) but i need time for this.

High,

i've just put my first release of the engine. It's a pre alpha just to test the game, you can download it on sourceforge:

'high' tarzan02,

i was waiting for this... unfortunately it crashes on my computer

The last thing I can read in the console before crashing is loading textures:

planets/telluric/Dirt.png

maybe, no I checked the texture is there, next in alphabetical order would be earth.png

Give it another try please, maybe test it on different computer before...

Hello,

high zillion42,

i haven't macbook to test, i will generate a new exe with more trace in the errorlog.txt file, and with the loading of bmp rather than png. When it will be ready you'll have to download only the exe and test ok ?

ok, be warned I'm drunk again,

but seriously tarzan02, I dont care how big it is... I already have your full svn trunk on my HD, to remind you again its 2.693.042.176 bytes big, so give me more...
No, in fact I'm a fan of you and I really want to see you finish your project, or at least reaching satisfaction with your work, even thought about getting involved and like I said before imo people like you should be sponsored...

OK, enough honey, make it happen !!!

Hi,

The exe does not work for me either. Contents of error.txt:

init des valeurs
Creation generateur aleatoire
Creation classe application
Creation classe systemestellaire
Creation classe joueur
Creation classe son
Creation classe mission

The last few entries in the dos window are:

Loaded mesh...mongoosel1.3ds
Needed 0ms to create octree...(8 nodes, 174 polys)
Nb fighter:1

My platform is Win XP 32 bit, Intel core2 duo, 2.19 GHz, 2 GB RAM, NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M.

Thx.

I, too, can see just the dos window

for all the problem can you send me the content of the base directory (where the exe is located) with the size of the dll (all the cegui components and irrlicht) in a text file

thank's

i debugged with tarzan02 tonight, the problem seemed to be a to long filename, or direcory name in my case (buffer was to small), moving the game from Desktop to c:\ fixed it... also there is one point the console waits for input, so if it hangs click the console and press any key... It should work after that...

lymantok · Post by **lymantok** » Fri Feb 13, 2009 1:55 am

Hi sorry, no dice.

The dos window hangs after "Nb fighter:1", and pressing keys has no effect. The debugger window also opens stating:

An unhandled win32 exception occured in irrlicht.exe [2132].

I can try moving it to d:, but my path is only d:\personal\ so I'd be surprised if that works.

Thx.
