Request for OSX commandline option testing

[LordHavoc]

I am the lead engine programmer and would like people on OSX to do some testing of certain rendering features that are currently disabled by default on OSX due to crashes/rendering errors.

Below is the list of hardware in need of testing (will be shortened as reports are posted here):

• Intel GMA chipsets
• NVIDIA GeForce 1/2/3/4 series
• NVIDIA GeForce FX series
• NVIDIA GeForce 6/7 series
• ATI Radeon 7000/7500
• ATI Radeon 7000/7500 Mobility
• ATI Radeon 8500-9200
• ATI Radeon 9500-X300
• ATI Radeon X600-X1300
• ATI Radeon X1600-X1850
• ATI Radeon X2000 series
• ATI Radeon HD 3000 series

The following steps are somewhat technical, but bear with me:
In Finder, make a copy of the Nexuiz.app, and open the copy as a folder (use the menu to do this), please do not edit the original Nexuiz.app, just edit the copy - there's a good chance it won't work properly, so don't break your main Nexuiz.app

Go into Contents, then MacOS, then open nexuiz-osx-agl with a text editor.

The last line will look like this:

Code: Select all

exec "$0"-bin "$@" -notexturenonpoweroftwo +"r_glsl 0" +"gl_lockarrays 0"

Change it to this:

Code: Select all

exec "$0"-bin "$@" +"r_glsl 1" -condebug +developer 1

After playing it a bit, please post a report on this thread with any performance issues, or graphical artifacts (please supply a screenshot if so), and (VERY IMPORTANT) whether it works or not, please attach the qconsole.log that was produced by the game, it can be found by choosing Go / Go to folder in the Finder menus, and typing this: ~/.nexuiz/data

I need this data to file meaningful Apple Bug Reports, so please do some testing

In Finder, make a copy of the Nexuiz.app, and open the copy as a folder (use the menu to do this)

To open the copy as a folder, you control-click (or right click if your mouse has a right mouse button) and choose Show Package Contents.

Tested with an ATI x1900 and OS 10.5.1 and it just went to a black screen as soon as Nexuiz started.

I know you didn't list x1900, but figured there was no harm in giving a report anyway.

Here is a link to the qconsole.log file:

Black screen probably is the old problem with texturenonpoweroftwo. Try blindly typing shift-esc and "map basement", and check if the game comes up. if it does, it IS the nonpoweroftwo problem.

[AceOfThumbs]

Yes, that works. Also I can manually connect to a server. I just can't get the menu graphics.

- aggressor (unplayible CPU load, even with r_glsl 0 and g-lockarrys 1)

needs -notexturenonpoweroftwo for me to run with more then 8 fps[/quote]

[divVerent]

Yes, that works. Also I can manually connect to a server. I just can't get the menu graphics.

Okay, it then IS the nonpoweroftwo problem. Which OS X version?

[AceOfThumbs]

I tested on 10.5.1 on an Intel Mac Pro, ATI x1900 and I'm using Nexuiz 2.3. When I added -notexturenonpoweroftwo the menus showed up and I played a few games with no noticeable problems.

Here is the new log file (i renamed it so I didn't overwrite the previous one):

Go into Contents, then MacOS, then open nexuiz-osx-agl with a text editor.

I almost forgot to mention that I don't have a file by that name, but I opened and changed nexuiz-osx-ppc-agl instead.

That is changed in svn-version, so in 2.3 and before it is nexuiz-osx-ppc-agl although it is universal
