OS X render problems

[joseluis]

Hi, sorry for my bad english.

I get some problems on render the JPCT demos os MacOS X 10.2 with Java 1.4.1. and LWJGL 0.8 and 0.9

The screen appears magenta and no input in the demos.



any tip for help me?

Thanks.

The code of the OpenGL renderer includes a comment: "Will this work on Mac? (byte order)"...well, obviously it doesn't... :wink: Should be an easy fix in this case, albeit i'm not sure that it's the only place where little endian vs. big endian matters.
Anyway, i'll upload a version for you to test on monday.
About the input problem: I don't know. Seems to be a LWJGL problem then. You mean that you can't move around in the fps example, i assume!?

Hi.

I get bad color and no input in the JPCT first person demo, when I press the x key to switch the render to LWJGL. It works OK in software mode.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Egon.

I don't have problems with LWJGL 0.8 and 0.9 in MacOS X.

Only with JPCT + LWJGL.

But, congratulations for your engine.

I've uploaded a fixed version here: *Link removed*
It's only the API-jar, not a complete distribution. Please compile the examples from the regular distribution with this jar and tell me, if the textures are looking fine now.

Edit: The fix is now included in the release version of jPCT

YES !!!   :lol:  :lol:  :lol: OK !!!

I have been recompiled the demos with the new .jar and the render is perfect.

This is a separate OS X version of JPCT, or is a fixed 1.0 version compatible with other platfforms?

I have some ideas for porting some games and educational demos with JPCT.

Very interesting your engine.
Thanks very much for your work.

cheers.

It's a fixed version that will work everywhere. The problem was, that i allocated a ByteBuffer in native order, where i should have one allocated in LITTLE_ENDIAN. This works for Intel, because native order is LITTLE_ENDIAN there...but on Mac, native order is BIG_ENDIAN. The ByteBuffer is now always LITTLE_ENDIAN regardless of the system.

About your input problems: This is most likely a LWJGL problem. The fps-example uses two different approaches to query the keyboard. The SUN-like approach is used when using software rendering and the LWJGL-approach when using LWJGL. If this doesn't work, it's either a problem of LWJGL for Mac or i'm doing something not 100% right to query the keyboard. Then again, there's not much room to do things wrong...

Have you tried fullscreen mode on Mac? Maybe the keyboard will work there!?

Hi.
Yes, in the JPCTdemo, when I press the X key, I get the textures OK now, but I loss the input over the demo. I think the problem is the "on-fly" change of the render from Software to FullScreen LWJGL.  I think LWJGL have some problems in FullScreen mode on Mac. I have only tested windowed demos of LWJGL.

You have another simple demo to test it on OS X?

I try to recompile the fps demo with some changes now.

cheers.

Thanks for fix the problem with big endian on Mac OS.


cheers.
