[Driver issue]ATI Fog problems (formerly: Blinking lights.)

Post by **Graf Zahl** » Fri Sep 30, 2005 7:38

Ok, could you please post the startup log? It should not look the same. That would mean something is wrong.

OK, done and these are what I get. I think I got the right coords this time as well

Graf Zahl wrote:2. I need a few FPS comparisons between the normal mode and the new one.

OK, how do I do that?

Graf Zahl wrote:And of course the most important thing: Does it work?.

Well the last one looks well dodgy. I double checked gl_useshaders was TRUE (in the console) and that I was using the version of GZDoom in the original link (file size 2228224).

It looks like the stuff I did doesn't get activated on your card. Could you post your startup log?

Erm... How do you get the startup log?

Post by **Graf Zahl** » Fri Sep 30, 2005 12:56

@MatinHowe: Your card doesn't support the necessary extensions so it can't work.

@BetaSword: Start GZDoom with command line parameters '+logfile log' and post the contents of the file 'log'.

Include the words +logfile logfilename.log on the command-line. The log file will be created in the ZDoom directory, but ISTR that you can give a full path name as well; e.g., +log c:\abcd.log.

Hey, no problem; you wanted to test some ATI cards and I was happy to help. My computer is just over three years old and with a feeble (by today's standards) Radeon (mobile) 7500, so I'm not surprised there's stuff it can't do. Presumably, GZDoom could default to whatever "plain" ZDoom would do in those circumstances.

Post by **Graf Zahl** » Fri Sep 30, 2005 13:13

In this particulat case it just didn't activate the alternative fog code and continued using the regular one.

Anyway, this new code creates nice looking fog but totally screws up dynamic lights for no apparent reason so I'll have to dump it anyway if I can't find the cause for that.

Soultaker · Post by **Soultaker** » Fri Sep 30, 2005 17:08

Graf if I were you I would resort to using the Quake 3 code. Although I am not sure how compatible the Quake 3 fog would be with GZDooM's own code. But it does not hurt to try. I would rather see Quake 3 code in GZDooM than say Quake 1 or 2 code.

Post by **Graf Zahl** » Fri Sep 30, 2005 17:58

To make it simple: It is not compatible at all. I can't use any of it.

Soultaker · Post by **Soultaker** » Fri Sep 30, 2005 18:08

Ugh. That sucks major. It would of been great to have the Q3 fog system cause I know that works under ATI video cards.

Post by **Graf Zahl** » Fri Sep 30, 2005 18:32

How do you expect me to port advanced mapping techniques to a comparatively primitive engine that doesn't have any of the needed features?

BetaSword · Post by **BetaSword** » Sat Oct 01, 2005 8:28

Here's my log. I started LTSD and warped to E4M4, and then, just in case, I did the "gl_useshaders 1", and still nothing different.

J]gl_useshaders 1

I have an X700, and shaders seem to work with pretty much every other game I play, so it should work here.

Post by **Graf Zahl** » Sat Oct 01, 2005 8:46

You are using the test .EXE, right? The needed extensions are there and there's no error message so the shaders should work. Strange...
