Release SuperTuxKart for Pandora

[ptitSeb]

Finally, I have update SuperTuxKart to latest 0.8.1. I also upgraded Irrlicht, and switched to glshim.

This version of glshim feature FBO, so now the kart preview is working, and so is the minimap (but you may have to activate FBO in the Config menu, or wipe the appdata for a fresh config).

Also I used 2 different Texture downsize mecanism, depending on the Pandora model (downsize is mandatory anyway).

For Gigahertz I use "mode 4" where all texture where 1 size (width or height) > 256 get / 2, and the one > 1024 get / 4 (meaning a 512x256 => 256x128, and a 2048x2048 => 512x512).

For CC & Rebirth, I use "mode 5" where everything > 256 get downscaled to 256 (so the 512x256 => 256x128 and the 2048x2048 => 256x256)

You can experiment with the downscale mecanism by putting a file named ".shrink" inside "appdata/SuperTuxKart" and containing the simple number of the shrink code (valid number are 1-5, but only 4 & 5 should be used).

The bad (or good) news is, STK is getting bigger and bigger (that's good), so the PND is much bigger (that's bad), and the memory needed had also increase, and a swapfile (256Mo) is now needed on CC model.

/!\ You'll need a Swapfile on CC model /!\

v0.8.1.04
------------

• New build, using latest 0.8.1 source base
• Using latest Irrlicht build, with glshim
• FBO now work (enable it in option/graphics), kart preview and Minimap are functionnals
• Using automatic Texture size mecanism, with a more agressive approach for CC & Rebirth model.

Yehaah thx for this Update,will try it soon ^_^

 

[ptitSeb]

New build, slightly faster, for this "Driving Simulation Feast Weekend", after the updated TORCS

I used GCC 5.0 with it's better lto to get some fps more, and also switched from libvorbis to tremor, for again some fps.

I also fixed the downsampling of the texture for Rebirth and added a new one for CC model.

Still, some background texture for the GUI seems to be white on the CC, and some of the texture in game also. Game is still playable.

No missing anything on a Gigahertz model (didn't test on a Rebirth).

v0.8.1.05

------------

• New build, using more agressive optims
• Using tremor instead of vorbisfile
• Downsampling of texture more effective for Rebirth & CC model

 

[graupelschauer]

the game crashes on startup on my rebirth model without swapfile.

@graupelschauer: what firmware are you?

 

[graupelschauer]

R1.70 says pandora system info

edit: i did an update to the newest firmware and the problem persists

Ok, strange. Did you try to wipe the appdata/SuperTuxKart folder (or at least just rename it). I'll try later on my rebirth see if I can reproduce.

 

[edgex004]

On my 1GHz, it will crash at various in-game loading screens if I do not have a swap file activated. I have ZRAM turned off though.

Yes I did, but the error is the same as before. How do I create a swap file? Maybe I'll try this to see if it works this way?

 

[ingoreis]

To create and use a Swapfile for one Session and Testings you can

-open a Terminal

- cd to your SD/Stick  (mostly like this)


cd /media/yourSDCard

then type this:


gksudo dd if=/dev/zero of=./swapfile bs=1024 count=1048576
mkswap ./swapfile
gksudo swapon ./swapfile


This will create a 1GB Swapfile and use it directly then.

After a restart is it deactivated and you can reactivate the Swapfile with:


gksudo swapon ./swapfile2


via Terminal in the same Folder.

Note that creating a Swapfile will take a Time on slower Sd Cards ^_^

 

[TrashyMG]

^ Or use Slaeshjag's PND that simplifies it a tad.

I'm having a crash on the loading screen on startup with my Rebirth. 

Screen gets to a White background with a clock, and some icons go across the bottom and it Crashes to Desktop right away. 

I've tried with 2 seperate SD cards, and a fresh install of the latest Super Zaxxon RC (1.72RC).

Both overclocked setting (Stable as a rock at 1Ghz) and stock makes no difference.

I attempted both Swap Tool, and old school swapfile yielded no different results.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I need the pndrun_SuperTuxKart.out file.


Also, you can try with newer SGX video drivers.

Welp, the second one worked. 

My output log was identical in every way to the guy that posted his above.

I updated the SGX driver to the 4.10 (Newest) driver, and that seems to have worked. The background now has textures instead of being white, so if you have that issue, then that's the problem. Thank you.

Turns out it's not playable anyways, slower than molasses even at the lowest settings. It's like watching a slideshow lol. 

 

[ptitSeb]

@Asaggynoodle: a slideshow? really? I tested it on a Rebirth when I released it, and it was not a slide show. A bit too slow to my teste, around 8 to 10fps...

Well That's my slideshow speed (I read fast lol), It was actually above the FPS you posted, Since I'm running @ 1Ghz I'm assuming that would be the reason for my results but after a full race, my average was in the ~16FPS range, which while better, is not playable. Some locations it will dip down into the ~9-11FPS range which is pretty annoying .

Hi all,

SuperTuxKart 0.9.2 is out:

http://blog.supertuxkart.net/2016/07/supertuxkart-092-is-out-and-say-hello.html

@ptitSeb : do you think you could update your 0.8.x package to this new version ?

Cheers, Magic Sam

 

[ptitSeb]

@Magic Sam : no, not easily. Newer SuperTux Kart needs shaders (starting from v0.9), so I have to check if I can use the gles2 build of Irrlicht for it (but it will probably be even slower, and will probably just don't work on CC model), or if I can disable shader use (if it makes sense).

 

[ptitSeb]

New build of SuperTuxKart. Still the 8.1 version. But using latest GCC and aggressive optimization option, plus latest gl4es (and aggressive texture downsampling), the game got a few more FPS (I find it playable, at least on Gigahertz model).
Of course, if you are expecting solid 60fps ... well, you'll be disappointed.

v0.8.1.06
------------

• New build, using GCC 7.1
• Updated libs
