helllllp
today i merged the new cvs code (10/17/01 approx 8:50pm EST) and BAM.
in regular Torque it just crashes when i try to load a driver.
when i use debug it gives me "Error, GL not in canonical state on entry"......
*cries*
what does that mean?
I tried reinstalling wickedgl drivers...nope.
Tried without wickedgl drivers... my voodoo3 doesn't like that and it just quits to desktop without error.
Force it into d3d.... can't. IT WON"T LET ME ARG! somebondy please hlep...
for the love of god...
sorry heh
if anyone can help me please all help would be greatly appreciated.

If you haven't been working on any gui controls or other related graphics changes then we'll have to narrow it down. I just did a clean build here and can't reproduce this problem with either my OpenGL or DirectX driver.
Having the driver "not in it's canonical state" is not usually something that cause the game to crash, you just get wierd rendering effects. So the assert may be a side effect of some other graphics initialization problem.
Can you run the demo with the -console argument. This will dump out the console output to a separate window, when the game crashes, you should be able to look through the console log and make sure the graphics system is being properly initialized.
Look for the Activating the OpenGL display line and it's related messages.

Same issue, the error message should say "Graphics Driver is not in .... state". Doesn't matter what driver or GL wrapper your using. Well, I was hoping you were going to say that you addeded some new guy controls...If you haven't been working on any gui controls or other related graphics changes then we'll have to narrow it down.

Remember i don't get this in REGULAR opengl. in regular opengl it just quits right out to the desktop (this has happened since torque 1.0). In torque 1.1 i could play simply by -directx but torque 1.1 (from original build on) i can't force it into D3D (even by editing the default.cs (I'm aware that prefs.cs doesn't do anything except hold data tha't snot used or something).
Also keep in mind that i am using a voodoo3. Now one thing that strikes interesting is in the new docmentation for 1.1 you don't have settings for an AMD computer with a voodoo3..... any reason?
that's what i have an AMD k6-2..
hope that helps

I'm at school right now but when i get home i'll try the -console. What happens is it gives me that message (in debug build ONLY) then no matter if i click retry or cancel it brings me back into the engine (i can tell cause wickegl's evaluation message comes up) then goes to desktop.

Did you previously have a Release 1.1 working? or only 1.0? If you didn't have a previous 1.1 working, how did you update to 1.1? Using the "Release_1_1_0" tag? or did you type in "1.1" for the WinCVS tag?
10/18/2001 (6:42 pm)
Whoa, this is the log from just starting up the torqueDemo.exe from the command line? Or when trying to start a mission? Well, either way, this looks totally wrong, there is something going on with your installation of the SDK.Did you previously have a Release 1.1 working? or only 1.0? If you didn't have a previous 1.1 working, how did you update to 1.1? Using the "Release_1_1_0" tag? or did you type in "1.1" for the WinCVS tag?

fragmented it, it's the last part which includes the error. i can post it all if you want. I merged it with the original 1.1 and 1.1 worked fine untill the latest merge

It won't start up with DX because it isn't detecting the D3D driver, near the top of your log:Video Init: Accelerated OpenGL display device detected. Accelerated D3D device not detected. Voodoo 2 display device not detected.You do have dx8 installed, right?
#13
Now this is probably all hooey becayse some people out there with an identical situation (supposedly) have no problem with DX8 and the Voodoo3, but I think the latest (last) official 3DFX drivers do not support DX8 but these do (or at least they did for me).
This may be the reason DX8 fails on this person's system.

10/19/2001 (1:41 pm)
A word about the Voodoo3 and DirectX 8. I finally installed the DX8 SDK on my system and I couldn't run any D3D demos with it. I posted my woes here and no one was able to help me. However, desparate to try anything, I went to Voodoo Files and got these drivers for the Voodoo3 which claim compatiiblity with DX8. They worked.Now this is probably all hooey becayse some people out there with an identical situation (supposedly) have no problem with DX8 and the Voodoo3, but I think the latest (last) official 3DFX drivers do not support DX8 but these do (or at least they did for me).

I have the latest drivers for my card which supposdely does support DX8.
well in T2 the graphics were screwed up in the high res version of Wickedgl then i installed the regular verions and it worked but not in torque....

I think this function operates the same, and probably displayes the same message, whether you are running pure opengl or the DX wrapper. So you probably are running DX, but getting the same error. This isn't a driver issue, it's a bad render function.
If it's happening right away, it's probably a gui control.
