Release OpenLara

ptitSeb · Sep 30, 2018

Here is OpenLara, an open source recreation of the Tomb Raider 1, 2 and 3 Engine.

(GLES2 version screenshot)

This build use GL4ES (there is GLES2 port, but not using Linux, so this was the faster way to port it). The audio backend is using OSS (again, that was the easier and faster way to port, even faster then ALSA). The default keymap has been slightly adapted to fit the Pandora.
You need to put the game data in appdata/openlara to play this.
You can either copy the "data" and "fmv" folder from CD (or CD image) directly or put individual data files inside "level/X" folder (X is either 1, 2 or 3). Look at the readme.txt inside each folder for detail.
Also, CD Rip audio goes in audio/X folder, with name track_XX.mp3 or track_XX.ogg

(GLES1 version screenshot)

Starting with build 03, there is 2 version of the engine in the PND: one for GLES1 and the other for GLES2. Depending on the Pandora model it's run on, it will automatically select GLES1 for CC model and GLES2 for the other. You can force a version by creating a file names ".es" (without quotes) inside appdata/openlara and puting either 1 or 2 to select the GLES version.

The GLES1 version is prety fast for video (faster then GLES2) but the game itself has worse lighting than GLES2 version.

The GLES2 game take some time to start (it build it's shader at every start), so be patient (I'll try implement Binary shaders in gl4es later, that should accelerate the starts). In options, you can put Lighting up to HIGH without issue. Shadows can be put to MEDIUM but there is a bit of slowdown there. Water shaders should be left to LOW, other settings slows down things too much (and doesn't seems to produce the correct visuals anyway).

I have tested only with Steam version of TR1 (data are inside GAME.GOG that is in fact an .bin image, with GAME.DAT beeing the .cue file, and I had to rename the mp3 tracks, adding "track_" in front).

Expect silent crash if the data are not in the correct places (or with correct name).

I tried to install it, but it wont start. Im using the game-files from Tomb Raider 1 Directors Cut. I put the data and fmv folder inside appdata/openlara.
Openlara starts, I see an empty window with the title-bar "openlara" and after a few seconds loading (led-flashing) it desapear.
I tried single-level-files too, but still no luck.
Could you help?

Can you put here the content of /tmp/pndrun_openlara.out to see what is happening. Also, what pandora model do you have? It's firmware is it reasonably up-to-date, and what SGX driver are you using?

I have a 1Ghz-Version, latest systemupdate. How could I found out the sgx-driver-version?

TrashyMG · Oct 1, 2018

If you never used notaz's SGX switcher it's likely the default version.

Now, I have noticed that I forgot to expand the empty folder "level" and "audio", but they are not mandatory. Ill make a build 02 soon anyway.

There is prob some command line thing that can show you. But this program should tell you. http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=sysinfo.wb I think... it's been a while since I used it.

Can always reinstall a specific SGX version over again to make sure.

ptitSeb · Oct 1, 2018

Ok, so I uploaded a build 02, that correctly expand the "level" and "audio" folders (so you can put thoses mp3 somewhere).
Also, I have put the sources in sources.tgz inside the PND for the curious (that's the whole src folder from the github clone).

Build 02
-----------

Update packaging
Added sources in the PND

Fills seem to be in the corect places, and I don't see any trace of OpenLara complaining about a missing file. Strange it doesn't start.

For SGX, I used 4.10 driver (I also have a large swapfile, but I don't think that could make a change).

Tomorow, I'll try it on a CC model without Codeblocks mounted, to see how it run...

I'm not sure that reports SGX driver version. I've always used this: PandoraModelCheck by Ekianjo. It reports empty if you're using the stock driver for some reason and has never been updated to fix that as far as I know, but I don't know any other situation in which it does that, so if it reports blank I think it's safe to assume you're using the stock version whatever that actually is.

ptitSeb · Oct 2, 2018

I have just tried on my CC model, without swap and with default SGX drivers:

The game launch and I see the intro video. I have the main menu, can select the 1sy level, I then see the video but then it crash at the starting of the level.

with 4.04 driver on the CC, it freeze instead of crashing.

I'll do some test with other SGX Drivers, but I think you should use 4.10 on Gigahertz and on Rebirth models.
[doublepost=1538463454,1538462750][/doublepost]After a few more test, I reduced all detail to low and with default driver, I can start the Training level on the CC. The 1st level of TR1 still crash, and I haven't found a driver that work. Also, using a swap doesn't change anything.
Tonight, I'll check a few things in OpenLara source code (I remember seeing stuff about spliting the scene or the triangles or something like that that may help).

ptitSeb · Oct 6, 2018

New release on the repo.

This time there is 2 binary in the PND. One without shaders (GLES1) and one with shaders (GLES2).
If the PND is run on a CC model, it will select GLES1 version, the GLES2 version is used otherwise.
You can force the use of either version by creating a file named ".es" in appdata/openlara and simply put 1 or 2 inside. Look in first post for mode details.

One word of advise: on Rebitrh and Gigahertz mode, use SGX driver 4.10 (or force version to GLES1 if you don't want to mess with drivers).

Added GLES1 version
GLES1 version used for CC model, or selectable with ".es" file

Thanks for the release, and still being around in the pandora land. Early TR series are not the best games today, but the nostalgic value is significant to me.

OpenLara runs quite well for me, but there are issues:
- the FMVs are stuttering while CPU usage is ~25%. Seems like instead of a steady frame rate, some frames are displayed in a quick succession and then there is a pause and so on. Could be GL related, but maybe it's blocking on audio? Large audio buffer could cause long blocking just a few times per second.
- it's not possible to change key config for keys like pg_down or even '.' or ','. I'd like the same key config as in PS1 version, but it's not possible to set that right now.

Glad you like it notaz

For the FMV it is GL related. I'm unsure why it's slow (it seems to decode the video in 2 texture that are then combined on screen), but using GLES1 version, the FMV are butter smooth. I guess the shader used is bit heavy for FMV, but I haven't really anaysed that yet.
The keymap, I added PGUP PGDN, HOME and END button (at least the default config use them), but maybe I missed some constants in a few places, like for the key config menu. for '.' and ',',I'll add them.

A new release on the repo. I added "." and "," as valid key, and fixed the configuration screen, so they can be assigned, along with the Pandora buttons.

Also, I tried to speedup the FMV in GLES2 version (or at least make it smoother). While the "Core" video still stuter, the other FMV seems to not stutter anymore. The GLES1 versio still has butter smooth FMV. Also, I notice some part of the game were unplayably slow on GLES1, and it's fixed now.

Build 04
-----------

Pandora buttons plus "." and "." can be configured
Speedup a bit Movies on GLES2 version
Large speedup on GLES1 version

Hi all

@ptitSeb : I just bought Tomb Raider 1 through 3 from GOG for ~10 euros !

I can't believe I'm actually playing Tomb Raider on the Pandora (I obviously played the emulated PSX version before, but that's not the same IMHO)

You rock, as always !

Cheers, Magic Sam
[doublepost=1538940971,1538939596][/doublepost]Hi again

@ptitSeb : I tried to bind either "walk" or "look" to one of the trigger buttons, but that didn't work...

What am I doing wrong ?

Cheers, Magic Sam

ptitSeb · Oct 7, 2018

Triggers are not bindable for now (shift, control and alt are not bindable). I guess I can still try to hack something.

EDIT: Shift Ctrl and Alt are bindable, but not the Triggers, only the key on the keymap. I'll fix that!

Magic Sam · Oct 7, 2018

@ptitSeb : thanks for your quick reply

Bug #2, in Lara's home, swimming-pool: when Lara jumps into the water she disappears (she is the same texture as water actually). Camera also doesn't work correctly when under water (on my Rebirth @ 825 MHz, latest Super Zaxxon, SGX 4.10).

Could you please have a look ?

Cheers, Magic Sam
