refresh and marathon not working?
My setup:
Linux 1.2.11, XFree-3.1.1, executor1.99o, marathon demo.
(486-66, 16megs ram, 30 meg swap partition, 2meg VRAM S3-928 VLB video
card (#9 GXE Level 11))
I have a registered copy of executor. Haven't tried the unregistered
version.
marathon is configured from low resolution, bright display, no ceiling
or floor textures (though whether those are on or off didn't help).
Much like the behavior someone else reported, I can get marathon to
run, but then the "active window" (where it shows movement) has
nothing in it, unless I force a redraw of the screen.
I have tried starting executor with the swithces:
executor -refresh 5
executor -privatecmap -checknet 0 -nosplash -refresh 5 -applzone 8192
executor -privatecmap -checknet 0 -nosplash -refresh 5
executor -privatecmap -checknet 0 -nosplash -refresh 10
executor -privatecmap -refresh 10
executor -privatecmap -nosplash -refresh 10
executor -privatecmap -checknet 0 -nosplash -refresh 20
executor -privatecmap
executor
[no, the above isn't the most scientific approach]
if I toggle the automap, it does come up (and I can see it drawn).
movement is occuring, because I can move, then force the screen to
redraw, and my movement occurs.
before I force any kind of redraw or do the automap, the screen is
black. after toggling automap (on and off), the original scene is
usually redrawn.
note, the "bogey indicator" works fine... that's the radar thing in
the lower left of the screen.
so, ideas anyone? before I submit a formal bug report, I want to
check if I am missing something obvious.
