beta5: crash on makeTexture3D()

[netzakh]

Beta5 crashed every time (Windows XP SP3) after I enter my character name. Adding diagnostic print() calls revealed that the problem was in the line between the two added print()s:

Code: Select all

local n = core.noise.new(3)
print("noise.new()")
_3DNoise = n:makeTexture3D(64, 64, 64, 0, 0, 0)
print("_3DNoise")

end of the resulting stdout.txt:

Code: Select all

bind	EXIT	function: 08ECEFC8
56 frames in 10.231 seconds = 5.47356 FPS
45 ticks  in 10.687 seconds = 4.21072 TPS
[INVENTORY] define slot	1	In inventory
noise.new()

BTW, most of the download archive is occupied by sounds, and I strongly suggest that soundless versions are provided as an option.

But the musics are great! (yeah I agree ;> )

As for the crash ... hum !

Could you run it under gdb for me please?

[netzakh]

I got a SIGSEGV under gdb, traceback hurled 36 entries with only last 19 remaining on DOS screen (the last one is WinMain()). Now I need som instruction how to echo/redirect gdb output to a log...

[darkgod]

cant the windows terminal scroll up ?

[Shoob]

try this:

Code: Select all

set logging on

before you run tome

going to enter that into the doku...

[netzakh]

... Not in XP, apparently; fortunately, gdb's help guided me to trying "backtrace 10":

oh well, set logging on works in windows 7 at least. [EDIT: if you were referring to dg then disregard this post]

what version of gdb do you have? mine is 6.3

try

Code: Select all

help support

and see what set logging options they have?

[netzakh]

To shoob:

my reply was about scrolling of command prompt windows, I downloaded the latest gdb version today, so set logging is supported.

BTW, I also added some info as to installing gdb to the doku, as it was not very straightforward.

[darkgod]

Weird .. line 280 is a return .. Hum

Can you run glewinfo as stated there please?

(the remaining 170+K skipped)

If this can be corrected by installing some software, let me know.

Otherwise, should I comment out that makeTexture3D() call in load.lua or use a "no-fancy" version as suggested in another thread?

[darkgod]

Wohhhaaa now that's an oldie !

Use the nofancy version AND comment it out, I'll make a fix

[Antagonist]

Whoa...

You have absolutely no drivers installed. Not integrated or otherwise.

I would advise you find out what graphics card you have, even if its a cheap intel onboard, and getting and installing its drivers. You're just using inbuilt windows generic stuff atm.

EDIT: Seriously, how are you even using anything approaching a decent resolution without drivers? You're basically using day-to-day what most other ppl only see in safe mode.

[netzakh]

Update: I have just installed most recent drivers (after downloading the sources, seeing that ...Texture3D call in noise.c, googling what it means, anyway) so now I have OpenGL 1.3 support and that crash disappeared. I still got a partially-black screen (with menu working on ESC) with some nil-value-index errors in stdout.txt, which I will post today or tomorrow.

I must thank DG, Shoob, and Antagonist for what I learnt about software and hardware today. I am basically an advanced computer user (though I have a computer education, so I am able to read sources if necessary) and I have never come across MinGW, glew and several other things until now.

[darkgod]

Can you post your stdout.txt file please?
Also is that on loading a savefile or on a new one ?
Load is known to be broken in beta5

[Antagonist]

I dont think OpenGL 1.3 will cut it.

Heh, its still way better than Windows Generic driver, but your game will slow to a crawl the moment you even see water, nevermind anything fancier.

Dont worry tho, I think DG has raised the bar on GPUs before shaders and stuff is activated for beta6.
