Attention Metrosexual Cry-Babies

On the OS X beta 3 build, everything ingame is textured correctly - except the ground. The textures for the ground are all replaced by black, and only show when you pass a building grid over them, and it only shows as long as a building grid is over it. I don't know if this is a problem for anyone else, but this is a problem that happens every time I start a game. Is there any sort of workaround on this?

Are you using the -evilguru or -ari build?

I have been unable to reproduce this on my system (32MiB 9200, 1.2Ghz G4, so slow stuff).

I get the same thing happening on my machine:

1.66Ghz Intel Mac Mini
2Gb RAM
Mac OS X.5.3
Evil Guru version

At least it is reproducible! Would you be able to try -ari's build please? If it still gives the same results then could you have a go at running it from the terminal? Once Termianl.app is open it is something along the lines of: /Applications/Warzone\ 2100.app/Contents/MacOS/Warzone

Copy & paste the output. It could be one of 3 things:

• It not working under 10.5
• It not working under Intel macs
• The integrated GPU in consumer Macs is not powerful enough

You may also want to try reducing the texture size. This can be done from the Options -> Video Options menu. (People with lower-end GPUs have found this to help.)

I will avoid any stereotype for now

I just wanted to report, that your build fails to run on my MacBookPro
(Core2Duo, Nvidia GF 8600GT) with 10.4.11.

Just won't execute!

Try reducing the texture size from the main menu, then quit & restart the game.

I've reduced the textures, increased the textures, changed resolutions, and tried both builds. Still the same problem. If it helps, I'm on a late '06 Aluminum iMac with a 256 MB ATI Radeon HD 2600 running Mac OS 10.5.2.

The terminal Output is too large to paste here, unfortunately, so I uploaded a text file of all of it on RapidShare:

It might be easier (and more permanent) if you opened a bug report at Gna! https://gna.org/bugs/?func=additem&group=warzone

That way everyone can issues can post their set-ups and logs (and is a bit more official than the forums).

Bug report has been filed. I linked an ingame screenshot of the problem and a text file with the terminal output.

I also went and downloaded 2.1 Beta 1 and found that the same problem is existent in that build as well.

If you've got a lust for stereotypes then I highly recommend the comedic stylings of stand-up George Carlin. Somewhat offensive, however, the majority of his act revolves around common (often il-conceived stereotypes) and I must say that he does an extremely good job of it. Not for the overly PC, faint of heart, mind you.

* George Carlin is one of my favorite comic (with R. Pryor). Have all his work. First fell in luv with his brand of humor way back when I first saw his "Hippy-Dippy" weatherman routine. Pryor"s Vegas concert with his heart-attack and catching fire routines are second to none in comedic power. Neither comic is for the faint hearted or for those who are strictly PC.

For those of you who do not know, George Carlin passed away on the 22nd of this month, aged 71. Sad as it is, I doubt George sees it as a sad occasion; http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=3PiZSFIVFiU is a 10 minute snippet from his latest show about...death. His views were unique to say the least -- all part of his style no doubt.

Yay! Can't wait to try it out! Unfortunatley, it's 2:00 AM so I guess it will have to wait till tomarrow.
Thanks!

We are still working on a couple of minor issues. Namely cursor trapping does not work (it seems to be an SDL issue) and minor texture corruption.

Other than that, the game works and would really appreciate some feedback.

Regards, Freddie.

* One last off-topic post from me.

* George Carlin was a living treasure... and even after his passing, his body of work in the form of books, dvds and audio recordings will be an enduring legacy for millions to enjoy well into the future. A life well lived.

* I had the good fortune to see him this past April in live performance at the Buell Theater in Denver, Colorado - a short walk from my house. Awesome as always. A bitter-sweet memory I'll cherish till my time comes to give up the ghost.
