Warp3D SI : Tests thread

@ddni

Sorry my fault. Glexcess is on the CD and not Glxgears.

That's the plan, but the code for that hasn't been written yet.

I'm rather annoyed to hear that people are having out-of-VRAM crashes, as the RadeonHD_RM.resource has a VRAM paging system. And yes, it does work. Maybe a graphics library update changed things...

@Hans

is it the 256mb vmem show by Aos ?

The vram crash happened so far in Urban terror and Acquaria. Running them in window mode you can watch gfxdock filling up, then system lockup.

@Hans

They are probably using the v1.9 of 3D drivers, could be that the issue?

I am using v1.9
I will retry with v1.8

On my 9250 graphic board, I get also 100% GFX memory usage ingame but I do not get any crash.

@tommysammy

I got gears in the minigl 2.2 archive. No glxgears.

Urban Terror does not like 32bit colour depth in game. Change it to 16 bit.

My settings are:
Warp3D.SI 1.9
Company map
16bit colour depth
32bit textures
normal textures
Fullscreen 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024 and 1920x1080 all tested well.
some sprite corruption on the HUD.

Game plays very well. Fast, but lonely with no one to kill ;)

32.1 FPS 1280x1024 using this timedemo that I recorded:

/demo ddni

Any results on this test?

Urban Terror

Timedemo 1
demo tutorial

22.2 fps
800x600 32 bit full screen

@Spectre660

Glad it worked.
The tutorial didn't work as a timedemo for me. Can you try my timedemo so we get a comparison? Thanks.

@ddni


13.6 FPS
16Bit 1280x1024 fullscreen

14.0 FPS
32bit 800x600 fullscreen

@ddni

Your timedemo doesn't work with my 9250 (I've got an error message: CL-ReadDemMessage: demoMsglen MAX_MSGLEN).

Edit : OK, to download your file, we have to give our mail adress and wait for the download link. Not really simple

How else am I going to steal your identity and spam your inbox? ;)
Suggest somewhere else to host it and I will upload it.

I think when I read the blog about the paging feature I may read a little more than was actually written.

@Hans

Any chance to get Warp3D working on Radeon9800 or 9600? They can be a great step on from Radeon9000pro on my Pegasos2(and not only mine) and no HD boards are allowed here :(

Has anyone got glquake running with FE and Warp3Dsi?

@ddni

It crashes. I've posted a crashlog to OS4 depot.

@ddni
It's not just Urban Terror. For some reason MiniGL won't work in 32-bit fullscreen modes. I had to add a hack to OpenJK to use 24-bit instead. I'll try to look into the issue, maybe it's easy to fix.
