Pb with weird graphic - hints needed

by Frank Bignone · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 06/07/2004 (6:57 am) · 24 replies

This is the kind of problem, I'm currently facing with TSE - Demo (and also my current DoP port):

Moreover, demo was unable to load due to font loading problem. I solved the problem (GFont.cpp and WinFont.cpp) but still I have this weird problem. Do you have any hint, I will dig into the texture manager; but it will be nice if someone can give me some general hints where I should look.

My configuration is the following:
- Dell Precision M60
- Pentium M
- NVidia Quadro 1000 GFX + 128 Mb
- 512 Mb

BTW, here is an extract of the log file

    GFXCardProfile should be using its own dictionary clsas...

    Also, did you set up the GFXD3DCardProfiler to set that flag based on the card caps?

    GFXCardProfile was using tsDictionary class. I have changed it by using internalDictionary class which is declared inside GFXCardProfile (this class was fastly written).
    Concerning the GFXD3DCardProfile, i forgot. Doing it today, and sending the code to brian.

    Huh?

    You mean this line:

    /// Capability dictionary.
   Map<const char*, bool> mCapDictionary;

    ?

    I'd very much appreciate it if you fixed the Map class rather than replacing it with something else. :)

    Yep it is this line. In fact, the Map has a lot of problem and I was too xxxx (<- put paresseux here) to change it, sorry.
    -> miss an allocator function,
    -> miss a comparison function,
    -> duplicate Hash (sequence) definition.
    So i did my quick and dirty dictionnary with exactly the same interface that yours so nothing change in the main code. When I have time I will look at it, I promise (again sorry) : I'm now fighting to put some old map and model inside tse...

    I will also add the GFXD3DCardProfile checks.
