Most effects only work with patched maps, sprites/models, and textures. You will need the PolymerHRP.
But you can tell if polymer works for you without that:

I have been working with it a lot of time (I mean, high resolution pack).

Unfortunatelly, the game crashes when the process of the textures is terminated. I can see a first screen of the game inside the map, then it crashes.
Here is one of the logs:

Could be a hardware problem? I mean, my computer is not able to handle polymer...

Thanks!

Use the latest build from there, reproduce the crash with the eduke32.debug.exe, and attach the generated eduke32.crashlog.

It looks like it's crashing inside the ATI GL driver?

I'm pretty sure same thing happens at the office on GF9600GT, but I will check this out soon to be sure. Also I've re-played doom3 recently in windowed mode, alt-tabbing here and there and everything was ok.

[MusicallyInspired]

So how do you activate orthogonal view mode?

EDIT: n/m, how can you change angles?

F3

edit... press w. that looks really good!!


OK this is sick. these few minutes i have been editing my mountain map. ive always wanted the walls to be perfectly sloped. but without 3d editing i did not have the possibility. but with this ive already fixed it so it looks decent o.O

[DavoX]

I think it's "Q"

[bullerbullerseven]

yea its both q ans w

[Mike Norvak]

Double tap F3, to see the orthogonal mode. Then "Q" and "W" will move the "camera" position...

[bullerbullerseven]

double tap?

[Mike Norvak]

Jhect, on Dec 1 2010, 07:44 PM, said:

double tap?

I mean u need to press F3 two times, to change beetween normal 2d mode and orthogonal...

-------------------------------------------------------------

BTW it´s possible to move the walls in this mode, right click to see what we are selecting:



and then hold right click to move the point...

[bullerbullerseven]

yea but i dont have to double tap it xD the curser/pointer you are moving are very annoying. its so hard to find the real wall you are pointing at, if you know what i mean. the yellow X on your picture.

and maybe some time it will be possible to drag the vertics instead of the walls only? i mean the ceiling vertic or floor vertic if you know what i mean? that would give some great opportunities!

[Micky C]

The ability to view the map depends as we all know on the position of the camera, which is limited to the x-y plane on the grid square. This means that at some angles when sections of the map appear outside the grid, you can't have a close look at it.

Likewise, if you went purely side on, the camera can't be moved up and down, and it would be impossible to have a close up side on look at any part of the map which doesn't lie on or near the same plane as the grid itself at z coord 0. I.e I can't look at the main part of my map in the attached image.


Oh and Norvak's right, vertices can be moved, but it's the most awkward thing ever. I guess I shouldn't complain until Helixhorned has had more of a chance to work on the controls like he said.

[djdori11]

the problems i have with lastest builds and polymer hrp:
1.this problem:
http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/2189/ed...20123041814.jpg
2.the game crashing randomly.
3.the game slow on my nice computer.
4.all other ati card problems (only liner and nearest textures filters work etc..)

when you will fix it? i really want to finsih the game with polymer hrp but this problems really annoy me.. (especialy the crashing problem) so.. yeah.. plz try to fix this problems and most important the crashing problem! thanks!

[Micky C]

Answers:
1. That's known about, they're working on it. If you looked around you'd have known other people had posted about it.
2, 3, 4. ATI cards don't do well with openGL like what Duke uses. Plagman (eduke32 developer) has sent in bug reports to the official driver engineering team at ATI so it's up to them to do the rest. If you want to be more assured that the game will run smoother, get an nVidia.

Ok maybe points 2 and 3 were exaggerated somewhat against ATI. It helps if you post up your eduke32.log file which is created in the same folder as eduke32.exe after every game, so if it crashes, post up the log.
Oh yeah and as of this typing, polymer (the new 32 bit openGL renderer) is unoptimized and not even finished. It runs slow even on moderately decent computers, slower than you'd think at least. So even if you have a 'nice' computer you need a "nice" computer.

Not that log. You need to post the content of eduke32.crashlog

and please wrap it into "code" tags, I've just broke my mouse wheel while scrolling through you post

[Micky C]

Edit: damn too late, you can still go by my instructions which are probably clearer, and try the rest of my advice as well, it works for some people.

Wow, can you like edit that post. Choose 'use full editor' then on the left there are a bunch of options including the use of a 'codebox'. Can you cut the log and paste it into the codebox? That way it won't make the thread 100 times longer than it should be.

While I'm here I might as well throw in my two cents: find the textures and textures.cache files and delete them. Start the game, go into options and switch off the 'on disk texture cache' in renderer setup in video options. Make sure it's off and not just compressed. Finally, always make sure you have the latest eduke32 which can be found at the top of this page: http://dukeworld.duk...ke32/synthesis/

Happy Duking

@Plagman

I've checked windowed mapster32 and eduke32 in win7 with GeForce card - the problems with infinite "not responding" are still here after few alt-tabs

The problem with multiple vidrestarts can't be reproduced on GeForce card.

However I've just found eduke32.crashlog on my WinXP PC with GeForce card with the following content:

well i did what u said and the game works the same like before with crashes..

Try the middle mouse button, it will change your z position. This is in contrast with RMB, which slides you in the (x, y) plane.
The aiming is determined with respect to the z position. As I said, it's a bit confusing right now.
Regarding dragging individual vertices, it can't be done straightforwardly simply because there are no separate vertices for the floor and ceiling as far as the map structure is concerned.
BTW, the dotted yellow line goes from your position to the nearest floor so that you have an indication of your elevation.

Maybe it's an infinite loop then? Is there a way to persuade you to install GDB?

[Roma Loom]

downloading...

No luck. I'm launching GDB, setting the needed dir, "file" eduke32.debug.exe, it reads symbols, "run" - it runs ok, and never hangs after dozens alt-tabs.

Launching eduke32.debug.exe outside the debugger makes it hang after few alt-tabs.

[Helixhorned]

Right. Those are the most fun to debug. I'll boot to Windows and see if I can reproduce it myself since I didn't use Polymer earlier.


... no crash in 32-bit XP and Vista for me.

thanks helix. you explained a lot. so it is not possible to move the floor or ceiling vertic alone. maybe some time in the future? man i can see opportunities

[DavoX]

You do realize that it would be best to make an entire new 3D bsp system for that?

[Piano Man]

Helixhorned, on Dec 2 2010, 04:44 AM, said:

I'm not sure what you mean by "building on different axes" but there are no new inherent capabilities -- all you can do with the new mode you also could do before. The main goal is simply convenience for architecture that spreads wide in the z direction, for spritework, and the like.

The ability to not only create sectors from the ground... but to create sectors from the wall.

That's what I mean. The ability to actually start creating sectors from the walls horizontally. Sort of a true, room over room ability (actual 3D).

[Micky C]

You can already do that, unofficially of course, and only in polymer. It's not perfect (I'm not sure about the clipping and it disappears when you can no longer see the wall that it's branched from, but that's not a big problem). Check out High Treason's videos on how to do that http://forums.duke4....?showtopic=2988.

thanks helix. you explained a lot. so it is not possible to move the floor or ceiling vertic alone. maybe some time in the future? man i can see opportunities

Just to clarify, walls can never EVER be made to slope, that's the nature of the engine. It's 2D. The closest thing to that will always be having a ridiculously vertical floor or ceiling.
