Blank Screen with Trailing Mouse

zeland · Post by **zeland** » Sat Apr 04, 2009 2:01 am

I've just pulled in SVN revision 1631 and it compiles (thanks for getting the ftgl thing fixed). When I launch the game, all I get is a blank white screen with a trailing mouse image.

yes, this is not a bug. By default CMake configures TA3D to look for its files in system folders in order to have it working when installed from a package. Here you are running it from the source folder, in order to tell TA3D to look for its files there, just run cmake with -DDEV:bool=true then build the code again (you may need to remove CMakeCache.txt).

Hi!

I'm still trying to run a self-compiled ta3d on gentoo.

I've downloaded the last svn, ran cmake with -DDEV:bool=true but that doesn't help - I get the white screen with the mouse pointer and that's all.

can you post here your config.h file ? I would like to check something.

no problemo

config file is correct. The problem is elsewhere.
Since you're using gentoo, did you build SDL_image with all required stuffs to read jpg files ?
Can you post your ta3d.log file as well ? (~/.ta3d/log/ta3d.log) ?

Also, it may not do anything, but just to be sure, clear the cache (~/.ta3d/cache) before running any new test.

I've got this in OS X at the begining of the 0.6 (resources files was not completly found). The last revision is 1862. The 16xx is two months old. A lot of changes happenned since

removing the cache directory doesn't help

It seems it doesn't find anything it needs except what's in ~/.ta3d/resources/, and you're running it from /usr/local/games. This cannot work with current code for 2 reasons:

TA3D needs to know where to look for its files (that's why we use -DDEV:bool=true, to tell it to look in current directory, it's easier for us since it doesn't require installing it)
Install mechanism is broken, it has not been updated since we started 0.6 branch, so it won't find its files.

There are 2 ways you can run it:

use -DDEV:bool=true and run it from where you built it
or
copy the required files to ~/.ta3d/resources/

It definitely was the broken installer: I've started the game from the place where it was compiled and it worked!.. But not as good as it could be

What do you mean by "not as good as it could be" ? Is there another bug ?

Yup, I made a separate topic for that. The game crashes while loading the map.
