there are some strange texture issues in 2.3 (see image).
2.2.3 worked fine.
how can i fix this?

Is it possible to have 8-bit colors in Nexuiz???

What resolution is that? Btw, would be quite useful for us to have some information about the OS and the graphics adapter you are using...

Hey! That's a picture of Slime Pit. That map is not in 2.3. Maybe you installed 2.3 over 2.2.3? That is not recommended if I recall correctly.

knew i forgot to mention something...
Ubuntu 7.04, ati x600, using restricted driver.

nope, i removed the old folder before extracting the new one

How can you play a map that is not in 2.3? I'm sure there is an explanation..

Hm, fglrx? How did you install the driver? Manually or through ubuntu's software repository?
If you installed it manually, parts of the driver might have been overwritten by a software update. Try reinstalling the driver and see if that helps...

@mofar: slimepit.bsp is still in 2.3, it's just not in the menu. So some 2.3 servers might still run slimepit...

through ubuntu.

in ubuntu feisty to manually upgrade you need to:
go to /usr/share/games/nexuiz, delete anything in that dir and drag over the 'pro' and 'data' folders
go to /usr/lib/games/nexuiz, rename nexuiz-linux-[arch]-glx to nexuiz.bin, then overwrite the current binaries in/usr/lib/games/nexuiz
if you have the nexuiz-server package installed then you go to /usr/lib/games/nexuiz, rename nexuiz-linux-[arch]-dedicated to nexuiz-server.bin, then overwrite the current binaries in/usr/lib/games/nexuiz

also make sure your ~/.nexuiz/data folder doesn't contain an old data20070531.pk3 file.

ok, sorry

@Psychiccyberfreak: The game itself wasn't installed through ubuntu's software repository, but rather downloaded manually. so the upgrade instructions don't seem relevant.

yeah, I mean that was for if you overwrote your current installation of 2.2.3, which I'm assuming you didn't, but I guess it wouldn't make a difference anyways...

Hi, I am getting the same problem with textures in Ubuntu Feisty 64 bit with an ati x1400 card and fglrx drivers from the Ubuntu repos. I was having the same problems with the previous version of Nexuiz. Here is a screenshot. I installed 2.3 from the debs at getdeb.

Looks like the driver got the lightmap and normal textures confused,

Bonus point to ATI for artistic interpretation of GL commands...

Yes this indeed looks like a driver bug.. but you can first try to 'usual' ati options and disable the Vertex Buffer Objects and then maybe the Opengl 2.0 Shaders. You can find both in the Options/Video menu.

Or maybe there was a error when installing the drivers and you have a mix of ati and mesa drivers. What is the output of:

Code: Select all

glxinfo| grep -i direct\\\|string

(or does ati has a special name for glxinfo? )

disabling VBO and shaders does not help.

the output of glxinfo is:

Code: Select all

direct rendering: No
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.2
client glx vendor string: ATI
client glx version string: 1.3
OpenGL vendor string: Tungsten Graphics, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R300 20060815 x86/MMX/SSE2 TCL
OpenGL version string: 1.3 Mesa 6.5.2

i would like to restate that my problems only appeared in 2.3, thus my problems may (or may not) be different from carpexx's

Looks like your driver setup is messed up. It looks like you have setup fglrx in your xorg config, but /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 points to the mesa version of libGL, not ATI's...

Try reinstalling fglrx, that'll hopefully fix that problem.

i found the problem: fglrx was disabled for some reason. enabling it solved everything.

yay!

Maybe this was done by some update you did around the time when switching from Nexuiz 2.2.3 to 2.3 Glad its working now.

Looks like your video card's about to explode...

Actually it looks more like the matrix is about to explode.. but its solved allready.

Hi, I have same problem like nevo and carpexx with Nexuiz 2.3. I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 with ATI Radeon x1300 and fglrx restricted driver.

glxinfo| grep -i direct\\\|string output:

Code: Select all

server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.2
client glx vendor string: ATI
client glx version string: 1.3
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Radeon X1300 Series
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (2.0.6473 (8.37.6))


First I have installed Nexuiz 2.3 from get deb on Ubuntu 7.4. After Upgrade to Ubuntu 7.10 I have that problem. I've tryed to reinstall Nexuiz 2.3 from Ubuntu 7.10 repos, but no change.

Hi all,

after updating my ATI driver to Ver. 8.42.3 everything works great now!

regards,

Habo

Is that the current version, which supposedly is much faster?

You can't possibly test it a bit further, and try to enable the graphics features in the Nexuiz menu and see if it still crashes on offsetmapping?

Yes, that is current version and first one which supports AIGLX.

A new driver can be downloaded here:
http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-d ... x86_64.run

Installation instructions on Uguntu Gutsy:
http://forlong.blogage.de/article/2007/ ... LX-support

I've tested it by enabling graphics features without crashes on offsetmapping till now.
And yes, its a bit faster.
