FreeOrion

I agree lithovores and autotrophs should be distinct. Also, if organisms of a race feed on sunlight, they should be called phototrophs. Autotrophs make their own food, so they might make it from other sources.

AFAICT, Cg is hardware-agnostic. Almost all of the Ogre demos use Cg, and it seems hard to imagine that they would use that if only NVidia cards could run the demos. I agree. I have an ATI card, get the same segfault when running FO, and have successfully compiled Ogre with Cg and all Ogre demos wo...

Having the same issue, I cannot but agree with you.

Try also turn off glow in combat options menu

If I could reach it... the segfault happens as I launch the applications. I can only see the window and the black background, then it crashes.

As requested by kroddn, I am creating this topic to discuss the segmentation fault I get every time I run FO. The discussion started here: http://www.freeorion.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=2466&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=15 . I tried running the OGRE samples and applied a patch ( htt...

The design seem really nice and easy to understand.
However I noticed a certain resemblance to the bars in Dark Orbit... anyone?

With gdb I managed to get till chmain.cpp:145 app() before keyboard and mouse were hooked up. At that point there was no segfault, but I couldn't do anything useful. :? Edit (15 feb 2009): freeorion.log only prints 2009-02-15 19:39:10,020 DEBUG Client : OpenAL initialized. Version 1.1Renderer OpenAL...

In last revision 2814 I can turn off fullscreen mode from Options(via custom mode) or comment it in config.xml cause FO run in window mode, but I can't leave FO window. Problem with debugging is that when segfault occurs debugger switch to gdb console. But mouse and keyboard can't leave FO window a...

I was getting the segfault and the weird keyboard/mouse problems even before compiling both GG and FO in debug mode.

Looking at your power-of-ten selection, it looks like you're not considering the number of digits requested. Would your code properly handle the case of val = 12345 with 5 digits? The result should be "12345" and not "12.345k". Good observation. 12345 is displayed as 12.345k bec...

I think it is ATI drivers which cause this problems. You may try newer or open source ATI drivers, but segfault can be traced by debugging. Howto is in wiki compile linux howto. You may also try some OGRE examples to test if are working. I'm using the ATI fglrx driver 8.12. Other applications that ...

thank you!

I recompiled everything but I'm still getting a segmentation fault!

I, for one, looked forward to GNN reports.

good point! I forgot about GNN!

I installed boost 1.38, which created a boost folder in /usr/local/include/boost-1_38 with the headers and created a number of libraries in /usr/local/lib. Now, however, I'm having issues with `scons configure`. The best I can do is specify boost's include and libdir, and that gets me this far: $ sc...

Didn't work.

I'll give it a try.
