In new version 1.5 of nexuiz, -glx version has disappeared. It is very sad for me, because it was the only one which worked for me.

-dedicated simply fails to launch, and -sdl has malfunctioning mouse (I can't rotate looking around full 360 degrees - I simply cannot rotate more than aprox 120 degrees)

I always played Nexiuz using -glx version, and now it has disapperaed

I'm using debian sarge, quite standard configuration. I didn't tweak sdl, I tried to make mouse work with sdl, but without success. I'm using nvidia's twinview (not xinerama) - as I have two LCDs.

I like nexuiz very much, and now I can't play it....

please don't ignore me.

You can compile the glx binary yourself pretty easily. Just install make, gcc, libx11-dev, libvorbis-dev, libpng-dev and libjpeg-dev, unzip nexuizenginesource20060213.zip from your Nexuiz/ dir. Then open a xterm and do:

Code: Select all

cd /path/to/Nexuiz/darkplaces
make cl-nexuiz

that should do it... if it doesn't compile i forgot to mention some -dev packages, just post the last few lines with "error" in that case

It works great! thank you very much!

Umm.. that one should not fail to start but its just the dedicated server so there is not gui and nothing.. only a console. But it might be possible that its not showing. Guess it does depend on how you start it (from desktop, an other console..)

I finally got to time to compile the glx version
( more like I found the missing dev-lib-build tool i needed to install )
make clean
make cl-nexuiz
./nexuiz-glx >log.txt

Ctrl+C and it made a 10Mb log file in a few seconds

it made a 1.3Gb log file
Ctrl+C didn't work and I had to use Ctrl+Alt+Backspace

My system AMD64, ubuntu 5.10 x64, 512MB ram, yea VIA built-in gfx.

is there a way to get the first 100 lines of this 1.3Gb log file in Linux?
Something like "readline 0 to 100 > newlog.txt"

Of course there is:

Code: Select all

head -n 100 < log2.txt > newlog.txt

head would be the opposite of tail

thx, looks like it craps out at the some point

^7Image_Resample: 3D resampling not supported

strange. I never had such a problem. Have you tried to compile the -sdl version yourself to see if it has the same problem? I know you get mouse problems with it but maybe this gives a clue about whats wrong..

i recompiled both without any compiling errors.

both put out the same error
^7Image_Resample: 3D resampling not supported

I retested sending the ouput to a log file
the SDL version will make a log file that is over 1GB
GLx verision just 10Mb

Most of both is that same error

something in the code changed from 1.2.1 to 1.5 that no longer works on my amd64

Uhm, it says on startup:

^7GL_VENDOR: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org

Are you sure your 3D acceleration is setup correctly? I'm not sure what driver your chip uses, but mesa is usually software rendering...
Does "glxinfo|grep render" say "Yes"?

i did the command, and got a no... F%$#.

My guess is either 3D hardware acceleration got Fd with the last kernal update or it was never enabled and 1.5 now needs it to be active.
Currently it's a VIA UniChrome Pro IGP.

I'm planning to rebuild my x64 Linux box so I think I'm just going to buy a nVidia GF6600 GT 256MB AGP and using a bigger Harddrive.

Well, it must have worked at sometime, because without hardware 3D acceleration you would get less than 1 frame per second. I tried that once, you can't even use menu because the mouse pointer just moves once every 2 seconds or so...
But reinstalling those drivers should help if they were messed up by a kernel update.

Well the good thing I got out of this is that my x64 linux box compiles fast as hell and still a great game/bot server.

As far as i know all those graphic drivers from ati/nvidia use some kernel module to talk to the hardware.. and kernel modules are only loaded if they were compiled for the same kernel version.. maybe you just need to reinstall the drivers..
