Shaders in r2803?

[ocirne94]

Hello all,
I have just compiled r2803 under Kubuntu 10.04 64-bit, but I don't manage to see shaders; terminal output tells that all shaders have been correctly loaded

Code:

INFO: Successfully enabled shaders

but they are clearly missing in the game;
Below I attach my config file; I have an NVidia GeForce GTS 250 with driver 195.36.24.

Code:

[ control ]
autoclutch = true
autotrans = true
button_ramp = 5.000000
mousegrab = true
speed_sens_steering = 1.000000

[ joystick ]

ff_gain = 2.000000

[ sound ]

Any tips?
Thanks,

Hi ocirne94

Have you been able to see the car in the selection screen? F1 has not been converted to the new car parameters(was removed). You should not be able to load it at all. Please update your vdrift data to the latest revision. If it still fails post stderr.txt and stdout.txt from vdrift folder.

Your settings with F1-02:

Hello NaN,
I've got the new data, but with that config file I still get no shaders ; with the new data the F1 car is there but the model isn't loaded and I can't use it in races.
I don't manage to find stderr.txt or stdout.txt anywhere in my system...

still get no shaders

Can you post the complete terminal output here. A screenshot(F11 Key, image hoster: http://www.img-up.net/) wit shaders true/false could also help.

I have code revision 2805 compiled with command

Code:

$ scons arch=core2 release=0 -j8

and data revision 630.

Here is the screenshot:

which is clearly different from the one in VDrift gallery:


With shaders disabled, I get the same result for the car, but strangely I get no shadows, and smoke from drifting is only white and non-trasparent.

You've got car shadows at least. But the rest fails. Do dynamic lights work? When you brake the rear part of the car/street should be lit with red color(brake lights).

We have switched to a deferred renderer recently and it is pretty much work in progress. Would be interesting to inspect the FBOs, sadly I have no idea where to look into(how to do it).

I didn't break it! (for once)

The car body uses a special convention where the miscmap is the same regardless of paint job. In your refactor you didn't account for that. I hacked in support for this. Hopefully in the future the car appearance will be more data-driven and we don't have to do this hack.

R2806 should look correct.

[ocirne94]

Just compiled r2806, shaders work beautifully during the race; it would be nice if they appeared also in the car selection screen, but I think it's not so important.
Thank you very much
Ocirne.

Oops, haven't paid attention to car appearance. Will fix/rollback the code. I have been surprised that the track/background looks different compared to the one I get. Don't have a NVIDIA GPU here to do a direct comparison.
