Hi All,
As the JEDI-SDL team had stability problems during the last SDL
competition. Could anyone, who has 5 minutes to spare, please test
Christian Hackbart’s OpenGL BSP Renderer @
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JEDI-SDL/files/YaSr.zip ( 2MB ).
This zip files includes exes for Windows and Linux and also the textures
required for the level ( it also includes the source code, but since
most of you are C/C++ programmers, this probably won’t interest you as
the source code is Object Pascal talking to OpenGL ).
Please could you test it on your distribution of Linux and report back
any problems ( or praises ) and I will send them on to Christian. BTW,
it uses SDL_Image to load the textures. I tested it under Mandrake 8.1
and it ran faster and smoother than on my Windows 2000 system :).
Note : Christian has not included collision detection, so you will be
able to walk through walls etc. The A and Z keys move you forward and
back and the arrow keys turn and change elevation. The demo defaults to
Windowed mode but if you want to run it Fullscreen, just start it with
the -fullscreen parameter.
If there are any OpenGL gurus, that don’t mind looking at some Object
Pascal code, could you suggest ways in which the speed can be improved (
through OpenGL rather than someone suggesting we should be using C/C++
:-). Or if there are any glaring errors that Christian has made in his
OpenGL code or that I ( with my newbie OpenGL eyes ) have not spotted,
please let us know so that we can all become better OpenGL programmers.
There is a plan to include Mouse support as per Quake, so if anyone
can provide some URLs where we can learn the best way to do this, that
would be great.
Some screenshots of it running under Windows and Linux can be found here…

It starts, shows the SDL window, waits for 5 seconds, then just quits. The log file only contains an ‘initialization’ line, and that’s it…>Hi All,

Hi Martijn,
Hmmm, this is very strange. Have you tied recompiling it, as I am
sure you have Delphi.
Thanks,
Dominique.

It starts, shows the SDL window, waits for 5 seconds, then just quits. The log file only contains an ‘initialization’ line, and that’s it…
It fails in this piece of code in the Render() procedure:
for i := 0 to bsp.numfaces - 1 do
begin
glBindTexture( GL_TEXTURE_2D, bsp.lightmaps[ bsp.faces[ i ].lid ].id );
glDrawArrays( GL_TRIANGLE_FAN, bsp.faces[ i ].start, bsp.faces[ i ].num );
end;
So it has loaded the bsp file correctly, I would think, and the textures too… Maybe this helps?

Hi!
Just a question off-topic: where’d you get the 27.50-nvidias? I was at
nvidia last week and just found the 23.12-drivers … also I heard, there’d
be a bug in those 27.50s
Cheers, St0fF.

In this case it looks like one of your arrays is not correctly addressed, I
mean, when I use array (any kind, no need to be vertex-arrays) and cross
their boundaries, then SDL-parachute gets deploied …
Just check, if there might be a logical error … and try glGetError() more
often, this really helps (from my experience)

Hi Martijn,
Thanks, I will look into it. In my tests, so far it works on my
Win2000, Win98 and Mandrake 8.1 partitions.
Is anyone else having problems?
Thanks,
Dominique.

I always watch http://gameguru.box.sk, search for nvidia, that’ll get you the latest drivers, possibly for your card even
