Interesting.... What exactly is a BSP file? Either way deleting the BSP files worked. I'm no longer crashing. There are still a few problems tho. I've attached a screenshot to show all you what i'm experiencing. VS loads up (yay!) However.... 1.) Cockpit view is *horribly* garbaled 2.) Frame rate is still un-playable, it's litarlly around 1 fps (this is the same result as I was getting from the non-cvs distribution 3.) *Something* is moving my ship around. I'm not pressing any keys and I have no joystick installed on the computer but my ship seems to be turning and i can't stop it (altho it's difficult to tell if i'm having any affect with such a low frame rate). 4.) When the VS window comes up my CPU utilization tops out at 100% and continues till it's killed.... I'm on a P2-450 with 256megs of RAM. Video card is a ATI Rage Pro. Comments? Still want my stuff in CVS? --- James T.

Could that moving around be my fault?
If my joystick drivers get somehow garbage under windows when there's no
joystick....?
Yup, it's my fault, I don't checked correctly if joystick is available.
Sorry, I hopefully fixed it, please try again.

Which mission did you click on to cause this problem? have you tried any other missions at all? can you please try 4 or 5 different missions? my favorite mission is tag...can you try that one? I need to know which mission this is....but unfortunately the logs I made did not give any information about the problem you seem to be having what sort of video card do you have? this is truly a bizzare error that has not been reported.... but do try every mission on the list if you can.... and also maybe just try double clicking on vegastrike.exe thanks!

Uh oh that's very strange.... let me explain to you about BSP's a bit Vegastrike currently, when it loads a unit, checks to see if "unitname.bsp" exists. If that file is already there, then it loads the file, calling BSPNode::BSPNode (BSPDiskNode **streamedinput) I think I know the PROBLEM..... you're right now trying to load BSP nodes from a linux generated BSP tree.... I remember that linux tends to pad its structs so they are 4 byte aligned so maybe you're loading these padded structs, and it ain't working for you.... this is just a theory.... anyhow TELL ME if it works when you remove *.bsp from every directory :-) it should autogenerate them in windows padding :-) and see if that works if it does, I'll make BSP's cross platform On Friday 26 October 2001 06:52 am, James T.

I removed the BSP's from the development tree now the bold checker-outer of the CVS will need to generate them himself.... they will be included in specific packages though.... maybe I shoudl save them in home dir.... but that's kinda silly anyhow if anyone can offer their insight into the problems presented here: gfx/bsp.cpp BSPTree::BSPTree (const char * filename) has the file input of the bsp tree cmd/unit_bsp.cpp: "write_bsp_tree ()" has the file output of the bsp as generated on the current machine.... I don't know the validity of either of these file IO's but they seemed to work on a mac (or so I thought) On Friday 26 October 2001 10:18 am, Daniel Horn wrote: > Reply-To: veg...@li...Uh oh that's very > strange.... let me explain to you about BSP's a bit > > Vegastrike currently, when it loads a unit, checks to see if > "unitname.bsp" exists.

All windows fixes look good! I fixed the double spacing in one of the files (that's a very annoying visual C++ "feature") so now all that remains is to see if 1) we can get things working like they used to, and fast as well and 2) we can get joystick (SDL) and sound (OPENAL) working The way you compile with joystick is put in the "defines preprocessor": HAVE_SDL the way you compile with sound is HAVE_AL :-) I bet those will be wrought with windoze incompatabilities :-/ On Friday 26 October 2001 10:37 am, Daniel Horn wrote: > Reply-To: veg...@li...I removed the BSP's from > the development tree now the bold checker-outer of the CVS will need to > generate them himself.... they will be included in specific packages > though.... > > maybe I shoudl save them in home dir.... but that's kinda silly > > > anyhow if anyone can offer their insight into the problems presented here: > gfx/bsp.cpp BSPTree::BSPTree (const char * filename) > has the file input of the bsp tree > > cmd/unit_bsp.cpp: "write_bsp_tree ()" > has the file output of the bsp as generated on the current machine.... > > I don't know the validity of either of these file IO's but they seemed to > work on a mac (or so I thought) > > On Friday 26 October 2001 10:18 am, Daniel Horn wrote: > > Reply-To: veg...@li...Uh oh that's very > > strange.... let me explain to you about BSP's a bit > > > > Vegastrike currently, when it loads a unit, checks to see if > > "unitname.bsp" exists.

Nope - this is a must!
You will not be able to save them into the installation dir
(/usr/local/games/vegastrike), cause that will be owned by root.
If you've got a separate directory where you have write access, then it would
be okay to store it there - but a rather good place would be in
~/.vegastrike/generated-bsp or like that, because that's the only place you
can be sure to have write access (exept /tmp).

fixed test if it works properly .vegastrike/generatedbsp should be made and any generated or used bsp's should be placed there I've heard using system () is a security risk if you can think of a better way to create directories if they aren't there (to prevent the scattering of BSP's all over the home dir) please edit vs_path.cpp I gotta work on some other stuff right now :-) On Friday 26 October 2001 12:32 pm, Alexander Rawass wrote: > Hi, > > On Friday 26 October 2001 19:37, you wrote: > > Reply-To: veg...@li...I removed the BSP's from > > the development tree now the bold checker-outer of the CVS will need to > > generate them himself.... they will be included in specific packages > > though.... > > > > maybe I shoudl save them in home dir.... but that's kinda silly > > Nope - this is a must! > > You will not be able to save them into the installation dir > (/usr/local/games/vegastrike), cause that will be owned by root. > > If you've got a separate directory where you have write access, then it > would be okay to store it there - but a rather good place would be in > ~/.vegastrike/generated-bsp or like that, because that's the only place you > can be sure to have write access (exept /tmp). > > > Alex -- - Daniel Horn (hel...@ho...)

Fine ;-)
> I've heard using

Yes (although I was lazy to use it myself in my projects)
system() starts programs using the bash, and the bash is evaluating
enironment variables that could do unwanted behaviour.
There's the exec* functions, but don't worry, I'll do it ;-)
