OSX Leopard 10.5 - hud in wrong place

For those apple users who are now running leopard you may be seeing this:

http://www.hillrippers.ch/temp/SauerOnLeopard.jpg

i.e. with the hud in a weird place, odd startup/progress screens, and in addition a few subtle bugs related to occlusion culling.

The current solution (until whenever the next Sauer release) is as follows:

Go to the "/sauerbraten/data/" folder and edit "std_shader.cfg" (with textedit will do)

Starting at about line 8 in this file is:

vpstart = [
!!ARBvp1.0
OPTION ARB_position_invariant;
ATTRIB opos = vertex.position;
]

Replace the above with the following:

vpstart = [
!!ARBvp1.0
ATTRIB opos = vertex.position;
OUTPUT rpos = result.position;
DP4 rpos.x, state.matrix.mvp.row[0], opos;
DP4 rpos.y, state.matrix.mvp.row[1], opos;
DP4 rpos.z, state.matrix.mvp.row[2], opos;
DP4 rpos.w, state.matrix.mvp.row[3], opos;
]

-
If people running leopard can confirm/deny that they have the bug, and if so that this fixes it then that would be useful (provide system specs).

Weird, something else changed with Leopard:
Until now, I had to switch my Dvorak-Layout to GB in order to play WASD (and not having to re-assign all keys), now it works just fine - I can play with WASD in Dvorak as if I was on a GB Layout, but when I type a message, the layout really is Dvorak. Nice! :)

Are you running from CVS? It was patched in there today.

Meanwhile given the bug was occuring on a relatively modern intel macbookpro and on my much older ppc desktop I was assuming the bug was rather pervasive.

oh, that new mac os has dtrace, doesn't it? has anybody used it on sauerbraten yet?

i was thinking of porting sauerbraten to solaris the other day, because of dtrace. maybe even insert one or two probes for cubescript! that would be quite interesting.

The debugging/tracing experience on leopard is now just awesome - http://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/~rpointon/saue/instruments.gif

I've been trying to get up to speed with it all - email me if you have any particular things you'd like me to dig into...

yeah dtrace in a fine piece of tech. it does to debugging/tracing what sauerbraten does to map editing.

I don't have anything right now, I just want to play around with it, and am somewhat jealous. I should get around to setting up my home pc for solaris...

#13: other problems...

by nickells on 11/05/2007 04:59

I\'ve also found that on map sizes 14 or larger... it gets really messed up.

This is a default newmap 14.

This is a z-buffer precision issue. Maybe try "zpass 0" in your autoexec.cfg. Or try using setting the z-buffer precision to 24 bits if it is somehow only defaulting to 16 (there should be an option to do that in Options -> Display -> z-buffer depth").

#15: Re: other problems...

by A-Baby_Rabbit on 11/05/2007 18:05, refers to #14

Thats very weird - the mac launcher automatically requests 24bit precision z-buffer, because experience has shown that ATI on mac likes to be dumb and pick 16.

Can I confirm that this is on leopard (and not on tiger) - it would be best to keep this thread on-topic and about leopard issues for now...

His HUD is off-place like it was for me, so I guess this is Leopard.

#17: Re: other problems...

by A-Baby_Rabbit on 11/06/2007 10:36, refers to #16

Ok, after some testing I also get the problem with z-precision - but only if I play *without* the bug fix as outlined at the start of this thread.

i have found that in the release version, if you turn off shaders, the hud goes into the correct place.

#20: Doesn't start at ALL in Leopard

by blotner on 11/09/2007 23:58

It starts, seems to load into mtl4 or that first map, and it just stays at the very last stage, stuck at the word, mtl4. I have a pb 1.5ghz aluminum, 1 gig ram
