bug in Demo, castle disappears

There is a problem with the demo, suddenly, when i start the interactive part, i turn 180 degrees and walk through the stairs, then, the castle disappears, i turn again, and everything reapears. I've tested it with OGL, DX, and Burnings Video, so, it doesn't seem to be a trouble of the drivers.

It is compiled with Code::Blocks, i don't remember the actual revision, but i downloaded the SVN trunk and compiled it in December 24th.

I can confirm this for the latest 1.7 branch as well. Strange enough, this does not happen in the other q3 examples.

Same problem here (GL on Linux). But it's even worse in the 1.6 branch - the castle doesn't show up there at all in the demo.

I read somewhere there were experiments to implement the PVS's from Q3, i am not sure if this has anything to see.

Okay, split this bug frm the SVN thread as it seems to be a long term issue. I'll test with other optimizations next, but since all other examples are working correctly I can't imagine why it would be caused by the underlying octree stuff. But it must be there somehow.

Just noting that the 1.6 problem vanished after a clean rebuild, so we only have to care about 1.7 (and maybe about some Makefile).

Ah yes, the demo makefile does not rebuild correctly
