Reply-to: yanowitz@cs.umass.edu X-Mailer: MH 6.8.3 Date: Thu, 17 Aug 95 09:38:16 -0400 From: Jason Yanowitz <yanowitz@eternity.cs.umass.edu> X-Mts: smtp Sender: owner-paper@nacm.com Precedence: bulk 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. -- Jason
