Myth II 1.8.0 Public Beta

[ScaryMonster]

Can you post the contents of your myth_log.txt after starting a game with the Universal build? Does the 1.7.2 universal build work for you? If so, can you post the myth_log.txt from that build too?

[Myrd]

And 1.7.2 Universal build doesn't have the issue, right?

EDIT: Also, can you post a mythlog from 1.8 PPC build as well?

[capital]

Multiplayer checkbox "Allow Old Clients". If unchecked, players on previous versions of the game won't be able to join.

bad, bad, bad idea. More segregation of a dwindling game.

Still no fixes for canonical, and historically relevant games Clue: Knife in the Dark & Myth Chess. Bad.

Decrease in performance on ATI Radeon 9600 graphics w/o disabling opengl. bad.

No update to vTFL patch TFL tagset to correct bugs mentioned in thread on this site. bad.

The good news is that 1.8 fixes the scripting coding bug that killed off non-host players in Chess & Clue, this was just verified w/ Myrd but hidden in a extended changelog. Eternally grateful for this fix, I am sure a lot people will be happy that these games play as originally scripted.

The Decrease in FPS can't be resolved thru driver updates, but perhaps a hack w/ poweruser mods:

[Renderer.OpenGL]
UseShaders=False
UseCMapTiles=False

[paladin MAIK]

Somebody explain to me what an option means 32 bits

[Pyro]

If you click on the "?" button in preferences, it opens the PDF file (must have Adobe Reader) that shows a description for each item including 32bit.

Strangely, I did not open. Then take a look now PDF file highlighted.
(PDF reader I have)

[Pyro]

What did you install? Windows or Mac? Or was it a manual install? the PDF has to be in your myth 2 folder for that button to work.

Done (added as edit to above).
Neither 1.72 Universal nor 1.8ß PPC version have this issue.

[Mything persons]

Does this work with vTFL?

[GodzFire]

Hold on there, if I recall, you were never able to figure out how to install the drivers on your computer (unless I missed part of the chat last night, if so apologies on my end), so you really can't say that. There were driver updates for your card.

Okay. Can you try the following:

Create a file called poweruser.txt in your preferences folder and put it in the following:

Code: Select all

[Renderer.OpenGL]
UseShaders=False
UseMipMaps=False
UseNPO2Textures=False

And let us know if this makes the 1.8 UB work for you. If it does, we'll be tweaking 1.8 to make this default for configs such as yours.

[Pyro]

Does this work with vTFL?

Why wouldn't it? The option didn't get removed.

[pallidice]

pyro told me to post this. In 1.7.2 the option for open GL was available, now in 1.8 the only option i get is software screen#1. He demanded we get open GL to work with pallidices crappy computer.

specs: PowerPC G4 dual 867Mhz
1mb L3 cache per processer
MacOSX 10.4.11
Memeory- 1.75GB DDR SDram
Graphics- GeForce4 MX
Bus: apg
V-Ram 32 megs


Thx in advance

[pallidice]

is this 1.8

[Melekor]

So just to clarify Pallidice - OpenGL not only shows up in the list in 1.7.2, but it works fine for playing games as well? Do detail textures work?
