OpenSpades introduction

[Dany0]

You can overcome the need for GL 3.0, iceball can live without it, openspades can too. Also mesa3d is a software GL implementation. Not only is it horribly slow, compiling it on windows would require some hacking and the result would probably be even slower.

There is one solution, and that's one expensive commercial software renderer who's name I shall not mention.

My Specs:
GPU: Geforce 7100 / nForce 630i
OpenGL 2.1
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4600 @ 2.40GHz
Windows Vista 32-bit build 6000 [No Service Pack]
3196 MB Memory
I updated my drivers after getting the glGenFramebuffers error and then this came up. The program would work for a few moments and then it would crash, leaving this:

Hope this helps you understand

I've done quite a lot of OpenGL programming and honestly... supporting older card is one of the biggest pain in the ass you can have as a developer. OpenGL drivers are buggy, unsupported, and can even lie about their capabilities.
Eg, it's absolutely not worth it to support the dreaded ATI R500 series.
Whatever the work you put into it you can't eliminate all bugs since you _have_ to be able to run it for effective debugging (user logs are not sufficient), then you need X graphic cards + Y drivers and the combination is huge. It's either software rendering or everyone upgrade to something sane (like ATI HD 2400 or better, Geforce 8+).

(EDIT: and almost all OpenGL drivers releases can bring new regressions, the latest is not always the best)

While I know it's hard, support for Intel Gfx would have been quite awesome. I can't run in (guess why) but I will track this mod to see how good it gets to be.

if my pc runs iceball would this work? arent they both opengl?

yeah totally,
if you can drive a bike you can also drive a car, they have both weels.

[Rizki]

So....
How i can fix it?

Spoiler:

IB is not *that* fast. If you can run IB decent, you should be able to run OpenSpades half-decent.

Having said that, someone should port OpenSpades' model optimization to IB.

So, does this work when I open it in wine?

lets be honest i have no clue ablout anything with programing so how would i know?

[Yoman282]

Everything working fine here, love it and it's so smooth on max settings for me.

By the way is there any way I can reduce the size of the map in my right corner? I'm playing on 1024x768 and I don't like it being big.

[madsnark]

Really nice, works perfectly.

Keep it up.

[Yoman282]

I've started to get game freezing. When I join a server I play for a some time and then my game just freezes.

Solutions?

WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?!?!? Download the source, follow the instruction on how to compile it and play it natively.

It's not about speed it's about the features used. Older cards don't usually support OpenGL 3.0+.

Could you send me SystemMessages.log? (This contains useful information)
SystemMessages.log is located at
C:\users\(username here)\Application Data (or AppData) \OpenSpades\Resources\SystemMessages.log

Nothing.

I added GPU info to the launcher for the newbies. Maybe some people will get that their GPU isn't supported without having to ask them post their logs.
