Can I bump this one more time? Also, I notice when playing e1l1 the spotlight in the street flickers on and off, and still no shadows.

A full log file please would help, and do what Gambini said and remove ANY 'CFG' files.

[MusicallyInspired]

There are no CFG files except for eduke32.cfg. Delete that? I apologize about the log not showing up. I inputted a portion of it in the original post, but it didn't show up in the quote. Here's the log. It seems the output from the previous log contents isn't the same this time around. Don't know what's going on.

EDIT: Ah, I just noticed that it's using my intel graphics chip instead of the NVidia one. That might be it...

Yes delete all CFG's
They will be regenerated next time you launch.

[The Commander]

Well there is your problem...

Either you haven't installed your NVidia GeForce GT 550M correctly or you have really messed something else up, but it's still using your Intel chip as the video driver.
Please make sure you have the latest Nvidia drivers.

Also using the latest eduke32 wouldn't go a miss either. (Your version is 3 months old)

Yeah, I just noticed that. It looks like the Intel graphics were set to global default for everything on my laptop and wasn't using the NVidia at all. A quick switched solved the issue. My mistake.

That part. I'm saying skip proper sorting and blend them if a flag is set by the modder. This would look terrible if any part wasn't alpha, and could produce visual artifacts, but for many instances it would be as good as anything.

This conversation was going down a road I think should be addressed sooner rather than later. I hope it hasn't been forgotten. The issues discussed above apply to more than just model skins. Translucent windows, TROR water, and sometimes just normal transparent sprites near multiply lights are more examples of what I believe to be a relative issue, drawing orders.

Yes sir! I Here is the attached map.

I can confirm wild flickering on a system with an AMD CPU and GPU. Just a thought, could it be that it's specific to AMD CPUs, maybe because of a difference in floating point implementation? Can the testers confirm or refute this?

[Gambini]

Yes the first person having that problem has both AMD CPU and GPU. The key here would be knowing if The Big Cheese has an AMD cpu since he´s the only one reporting it with a Nvidia.

So glad to know you´re working on it!

[Plagman]

We're not using fast-math, so you'd expect anything we do to be 754-compliant no matter what the machine is. Maybe we should do a test build with "-frounding-math -fsignaling-nans" to ensure complete compliance in the cornerest of cases, and see whether that normalizes behavior for everyone? Be it glitchy everywhere or fixed everywhere..

[Gambini]

I was about to say that!

[Micky C]

I have intel.

[Plagman]

Well, there you go; next theory, people. Get the whiteboard.

[Hendricks266]

Spoiler

[Player Lin]

Is that flickering problem related the automap one in polymost renderer?

(I still get random textures/edge of sectors' boundary messed up when rotating the automap at some specific angles in recently eduke32 versions, as always.)

[Jblade]

So when I zoom into a certain level in Mapster's 2D mode, it all slows down dramatically and my console is spammed by this:

L50: RETURN=0
L50: RETURN=0

hundreds and hundreds of times. How do I stop/disable this, since it renders 2D mode unusable for me.

[RichardStorm]

Is it just my pc, or arrow keys no longer work in Mapster ?

Always remember: use the latest eduke32 Some synthesis comes with errors from time to time.

Your link is probably more for the people that actually want to read the log and get the source.

Anybody? I don't want to seem impatient but I was looking to do some work but I can't locate a version old enough that still supports TROR and doesn't have this.

[TerminX]

The "L50" might signify line 50 of one of the Mapster32 scripts you have loaded.

And you're correct, haha! For some reason I had set EVENT_LINKTAGS to addlog RETURN. I can't remember why now, but it's fixed the problem so thanks

Good evening,

In the latest build (eduke32_win32_20130304-3555), the music volume is modified by both Sound and Music sliders, tested here on Windows 7, and asked a friend to test it, same issue.

Also, during loading, my screen tilt quite a lot; I suspect F.lux, a software which modifies the luminosity depending on the time of the day, to enter in conflict with EDuke32... EDuke32 tries to reset the luminosity to its default, while F.lux re-move it.

Hope I'm in the right thread to report ^^' If not, sorry, and please move this where it should be :/

[Hendricks266]

I've had the same issue with F.lux as long as I have used it. The problem is on F.lux's end: somewhere in their documentation it's stated that better cooperation with other apps is forthcoming. I've run a batch file to terminate flux.exe whenever I need to play.

[Jblade]

I know I'm a little late to the party, but I've just used that text tool you guys added to Mapster32 and that shit is off the hook. I don't know who or when it was added in but thank you!

[Gambini]

lol that´s at least 5 years old!

How can I define a custom music for E1L8 without the need of a file named after the map file?

There are four possibilities for adding custom music I know of:
-have a custom dethtoll.mid [wav, ogg, flac]
-have a sound file named after the map
-edit USER.CON

// Music for the individual levels
music 1 stalker.mid dethtoll.mid streets.mid watrwld1.mid snake1.mid
        thecall.mid ahgeez.mid MyMusic.mid streets.mid watrwld1.mid snake1.mid

-redefine it in a DEF file like:

music { id "E1L8" file "highres/music/MyMusic.ogg" }

[Fox]

The user.con definition is overwritten by dethtoll.
