Below I provide some screenshots of this problem as it appears on my system with OpenGlide alpha 5 to 7. http://namida.com/kaminarimon/tmp/tr1g_01.jpg (0.09a7) http://namida.com/kaminarimon/tmp/tr1g_02.jpg (0.09a7) http://namida.com/kaminarimon/tmp/tr1g_03.jpg (0.09a7) http://namida.com/kaminarimon/tmp/tr1g_04.jpg (0.09a4) Compare the third and fourth shots; hopefully you'll figure out what's wrong here

When I implemented that in OpenGlide, part of the alteration was to enable OpenGL blending when Glide has chromakeying enabled. I'd imagine that is where things have gotten broken... unless you've made changes to the texture cachine in PGTexture.cpp

GoldFinger Member Joined: 2002-09-26 Posts: 152	Thanks Paul, I think I found the problem, it is exactly in the chroma keying, I changed the way palettes are handled but did not changed the ApplyKeyToPalette function. UPDATE: Wrong, the problem was in the ChromakeyValue function and not in the Apply... I will be releasing and 0.09 Alpha 8 right now

Now lots of games that did not work before are great, Wing Commander Prophecy, Descent FreeSpace and a lot of others are RUNNING GREAT. Please people try the new release out and tell me teh results, try it with games that did not work and that worked, try TR and others... please...

Kaminari Classic Raider Joined: 2002-12-06 Posts: 681	Two thumbs up Now there's only one peculiar problem remaining, as far as I can tell (I only got TR to test my teeth on, but it could affect other games as well). The transparency issue is completely gone... except when displaying the Inventory screen Have a look: http://namida.com/kaminarimon/tmp/tr1g_05.jpg (0.09a8) http://namida.com/kaminarimon/tmp/tr1g_06.jpg (0.09a8) http://namida.com/kaminarimon/tmp/tr1g_07.jpg (0.09a4) Hope that helps.

I will be releasing and 0.09 Alpha 8 right now Eee, strange: I updated about 4:00pm, tested all the Glidos games, plus RedBaron and saw no problems. Could your "right now" above have been earlier than 4:00pm? Also I looked at the Chromakey stuff and could find nothing wrong. I did see a removed "& 0x00FFFFFF"... Hang on, I'm having another look now. I think I see what you mean - comparing an RGB value with a BGR one. I think I must have updated after the fix. Craig, this should fix a lot of the transparency problems in Screamer too. Great! Great! Great! I have a few more games to test, but so far no new problems. Oh, the sun in Redguard is still broken. We don't yet handle the case where the alpha-combine unit uses a texture while the color-combine unit does. Just thought I'd remind you in case you are working in area where that issue might be handled. Really great work.

We are all posting simultaneously so the order of comments might seem a bit strange. Anyway the problem with the background isn't transparency I think. When you go to the inventory screen in TR, it reads the LFB to get a snapshot of the game, it darkens it, splits it into 6 textures and renders it back as textured rectangles. Something is going wrong in that process. It is unlikely that TR is reading constant grey out of the LFB, so I think the texture creation must be failing, so OpenGL is being told to use a non-existent texture. Oh hang on: is this v1.19 of Glidos? Early versions didn't handle the menu background.

You show one working version and one not, with the only difference being the OpenGlide version. I'll have a look and see if I can get the same problem.

CraigG Retro/PC Gamer Joined: 2002-09-01 Posts: 207	Well I hate to be the bringer of bad news, but....... I see no change in any of my win games from the last few releases. Sorry. Ignition still has tremendous slow down problems, almost the same as Screamer for DOS. The freeplaying mode plays just fine, but start a game and it all slows down to just 6fps max. Outlaws still doesn't display any graphics, only your gun. Croc still has the same transparent problems, whereby all sprites are surrounded in black. _________________ Athlon 64 3000+ stock MSI NForce 4 K8N Neo Platinum 2Gb RAM nVidia Geforce 6800GT stock clocks SBLive!

GoldFinger Member Joined: 2002-09-26 Posts: 152	Hey all, thanks for teh reply, I released another file, this one is Release Candidade 1, so, if this one is ok I will release it... Try it on TR inventory and see if it is ok, please. Craig, on the Croc stuff, I will need to think a little better to remove the transparency problem.

Kaminari Classic Raider Joined: 2002-12-06 Posts: 681	Fabio, still no luck with the Inventory screen Paul, I've tested Glidos 1.19 (from the original archive) with same result. Incidentally, I've noticed that Lara's shadow disappears with Glidos 1.19 + OpenGlide 0.09rc1, but is correctly displayed with Glidos 1.19b3 (Blood ver 3) + OpenGlide 0.09rc1. I took care of deleting the settings.dat file between the tests... The mystery's thickening Last edited by Kaminari on 2003-1-04 @ 10:00 pm; edited 1 time in total

The game is certainly playable. I think that if you get this fixed, you will fix a lot more games that use similar features. So it won't be just for Croc. It would be nice to get you a load of these games as well, then you would have something to test with. _________________ Athlon 64 3000+ stock MSI NForce 4 K8N Neo Platinum 2Gb RAM nVidia Geforce 6800GT stock clocks SBLive!

CraigG Retro/PC Gamer Joined: 2002-09-01 Posts: 207	Paul, any chance you could test out Ignition Croc Outlaws for me, just to make sure it ain't my PC. I doubt it is, as it does this in WinME, Win2k, and WinXP. _________________ Athlon 64 3000+ stock MSI NForce 4 K8N Neo Platinum 2Gb RAM nVidia Geforce 6800GT stock clocks SBLive!
