Topic: Background problem

Hi. I'm having a little bug with my Teeworlds as you can see on the screenshot below
http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/2635 … 001la3.png

You might have thought, seeing the thread title and the screen, "omg, another noob who haven't read the docs or used the search function". I know, there this gfx_clear setting.
But did you recognize which map is it? It's the official dm1 yikes

I'm running on Ubuntu 7.10, and I've tried with the compiled binary and compiled teeworlds myself from the source, I still get that problem. With compiz enabled or not.
The background only appears correctly when I'm in the top left corner of the map. And the problem is the same for all the maps.

Re: Background problem

There's the background, but only on the top left corner.
And no, nobody have changed the map because it's MY server, compiled from the source and that's all.

Re: Background problem

This topic is a bit old but maybe theres still interest:

With 0.4.0 and 0.4.1 I have a correct background but with 0.4.2 I have exactly the same problem as described above.

I blame my ATI IGP 320m internal graphics card (notebook) because when I disable hardware acceleration I get a correct background - but then I have to live with 0.5fps...

As the IGP 320m is a piece of shit in general (sorry for wording, but it fits... I have some more games that have graphical issues with this card) I guess some of the graphics otimisations in 0.4.2 are too much for this card.

Therefore:
Is it possible to use 0.4.2 game code with 0.4.1 graphics code ? Just some mad idea but maybe there could be a quick fix for the doomed owners of laptops with this card...

Re: Background problem

I played a bit with the source and integrated some old rendering code from 0.4.1 into 0.4.2.

It works for me(tm). I have animated backgrounds and smooth gameplay. (although there are still some graphical glitches in the menues due to some transparency errors (I blame my card, not the game))

The problematic code seems to be in the 'render_layers' function in 'game/client/gc_render.cpp'.

I created a small patch so maybe others can try if it works for them:

http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/~hi … card.patch

This patch has been tested on a Linux system running Gentoo Linux, kernel 2.6.24 and X.Org 1.4.0.90. Graphics card is an internal ATI IGP 320m (aka U1). I do not take any responsibility if this brakes your card, makes your cat sick and causes any other damage. Try at your own risk... :-)

Nope. This occurs also when I run the server on my machine.

Nope. But thank you for participating in this.

gfx_clear 0/1 has the effect as described previously in this topic (Does not really help unless you stick in the upper left corner).

Re: Background problem

Check to make sure you have all the latest drivers for your graphics card/chip. Tell me, are you running Linux or Windows, as i can find drivers for both if you need.

Thanks for the offer but as you seem unable to gather that information from the posts I have serious doubts in your abilites... smile

And I can assure you that I know the driver situation for my graphics card very well and that I am using the most recent version of the driver that does not yet brake my setup.



It's nice to see that some people are trying to help but I feel that most are just trying a quick shot at this without actually reading what the problem is about... sad

This patch is for compiling teeworlds from the source. On a Linux system, use the following procedure:

Change to the folder containing the teeworlds-0.4.2 source and type:

patch -p1 -i <name_of_patchfile>

e.g.
patch -p1 -i ../teeworlds-0.4.2-badcard.patch

if you saved the patch to the directory above the source directory.

If all went well you will get the following message:
patching file src/game/client/gc_render.cpp

Then use bam to compile like you would normally.

The patch should also work when compiling for windows; the patch program should be available somewhere.
