Hello, I’m getting graphical glitches when launching OD. I’m using Bertram github version.

This is what it looks like:

Any ideas about the source of this problem?

Hi MCMic,

The glitches come from the fact that tiles mesh names are for certain case(s) miscomputed. In fact, it seems only one mesh type is lacking,but I can't be completely sure.
(Their seems to be a small glitch on certain border tiles and I don't know whether the right tile is loaded and the glitch assumed.)
Result: The mesh file isn't found and thus not displayed. That's why you can see through it. I still didn't have the heart to go after this bug yet.

Best regards,

So that means you're getting what I'm seeing too?
I'm also getting a weird black plan on the big yellow sphere (is that a pacman robot? ), which is flickering.

Hi again,

If you mean the lack of a certain type of wall tile, yes.

I'm also getting a weird black plan on the big yellow sphere (is that a pacman robot? ), which is flickering.

Wow, err, no, you'll need to show that to me.

Regards,

I can be the digger robot, though I have never seen it in action myself.

Ahh, if it is. It should be working fine, and be even better than Kobolds.

i think what he means is a badly implemented alpha which the digger robot has in it core (its some king of spinning cog) sometimes it works, others not and you can see a black plane

Is there a key for taking a screenshot ingame?
About the wall tile, I looked at Tile::meshNameFromNeighbors but it's impossible to understand.

Are you sometimes coming to the irc channel Bertram?

Hi MCMic,

Don't count too much on my participation on IRC. I don't have the time hanging there. I can do it on request but I won't come unless I want to poke a few old friends (and not forcefully speak about code. ;])

About the tile meshNameFromNeighbors() (The one chosen function), maybe you shouldn't throw yourself in fixing the lacking tile as a first candy, without willing to patronize you, of course.
But I think logging a warning when a mesh file couldn't be found, along with the mesh filename sought, and the neighbor types & fullness represented would be a great thing to make this more understandable.

Something like this:

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

The mesh tile file couldn't be found: Dirt_xxxxxx.mesh
Tile with following neighbors:
1 1 1
1 X 1
0 0 0

And make it load a default tile in this case would also be a start, I guess.

Could you do that?

Best regards,
