[3709 Mac] ZPack E2M3: checkerboard portal

[Enjay]

With r3784 I get no checkerboard.



The pic is only "blurry" because it's a resized image from 1920x1200. It is a ZDoom, not a GZDoom, screenshot.

I still get the checkerboard:

Curious. Do you get a console message telling you about a missing texture? (Drop down the console after loading the map and there should be a message there telling you about missing textures.) If so, is the texture missing from your copy of ZPack?

[Edward-san]

No I don't get any of these messages. I just get:

Code: Select all

Line 15 (type 15:Autosave), arg 1 is 10 (should be 0)

And to be sure it wasn't because of my configurations I created a new ini from scratch (adding '-config newname.ini' to the command line) but nothing changed.

[edit]I downloaded the last zpack.pk3 (27th June version) file but didn't change anything.

Same thing here.

I'm running Windows XP SP3 with an Intel chip and ZDoom r3784. With GZDoom (r1427), I don't get the missing texture issue, but the whole portal thing looks glitchy.

However, I do remember that certain angles occasionally presented clipping problems, though that was about it (and I think they were addressed?

This is exactly what I remember too.

Could it be Intel? Hahahahahahah. For reference, my laptop also has Intel. My two desktops have GeForce, but I can't be arsed to test right now (probably later).

Same problem here on Windows 7 64-bit with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M with ZDoom 2.6.1:



And now with Linux Mint 13 64-bit with ZDoom SVN 3851 with the above graphics card:

I just checked this with 2.2.0 which was the current version at the time of release. With that it all works fine - except of the bugs in the portal setup, of course.
At some point some handling of F_SKY1 must have changed that drawing a sky takes precedence over drawing a portal in the same sector. All the affected places in this map have a ceiling texture F_SKY1.

[Graf Zahl]

More info:

This was already broken completely in 2.4.0.
In 2.3.0 it also didn't work but instead of the checkerboard it displayed the normal skybox.
Unfortunately that leaves a huge gap of more than 1000 revisions to check because there hasn't been any release between 2.2.0 and 2.3.0.

Doing some dissection:

• Works mostly fine in r1125 sans some clipping weirdness (see picture)
• Skybox only in r1312 r1236 r1170 r1145 r1130 r1129.
• Works in r1127.
• Cannot test in r1128, since it only compiles after I amalgomize some source files from r1129 and crashes on startup, so yeah

I had to modify the source a little bit to make it compile.


In conclusion: works in r1127, broken in r1129.

[Graf Zahl]

Uhhh.. What?

These revisions only change DECORATE related stuff and don't even touch the renderer's code - they don't even touch the portal things. Are you sure?

[Edward-san]

In conclusion: works in r1127, broken in r1129.

hmm, not sure about it, since you just get a crash... try 1141 (though I hardly believe the x86 changes may mean something...)

I just ran this over again: r1127 shows the portal (albeit a bit broken), r1128 doesn't compile, r1129 shows skybox only. Maybe it's just me but... that's how it appears on my end... I have no clue how is this possible. I'll try pinpoint the actual change which broke this.

That's ok. The portal is broken. It can't show without the glitch.
