Unofficial Overgrowth a205 build

[chrisxy]

The steam version is now playable on gallium drivers if you replace GL_ARB_sample_shading_available both in the binary and in the shaders with

Code: Select all

sed -i "s/GL_ARB_sample_shading_available/XX_ARB_sample_shading_available/g" Overgrowth.bin.x86
for i in Data/GLSL/*; do sed -i "s/GL_ARB_sample_shading_available/XX_ARB_sample_shading_available/g" "$i"; done

And then you have to start overgrowth with

Code: Select all

force_glsl_version=130 $HOME/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/run.sh ./Overgrowth.bin.x86

But this only works on r300g, r600g, radeonsi and nouveau, but not on i965. (probably it works on ilo too)

I can't run this game after the new update. At first I was just using Steam to launch the game but it said something around the lines of "Can't Launch Game: Unknown Error" but after downloading the SUM Launcher I now get this:********

Sorry that was big. Any fix? As you can see I use Windows XP and it used to run fine. I've only met one guy with this issue. I hope they didn't end Windows XP support for this game after the update. I've contacted the devs but they just told me to download the SUM Launcher.

Sorry about that! We are working on improving the Linux build procedure to help keep it in better parity.

Can we get a fixed a205 diff zip archive?
There are working Linux binaries; It was just a packaging error, right?

Jeff some of us or most are having this error:

0(1): error C0118: macros prefixed with 'GL_' are reserved

How to fix it?

I've tried downloading the alpha manually and verify on steam and nothing works. I'm on Windows 7-64bit

Thanks

That works, thanks. Although for some reason the characters are all black in the Arena map (fine apparently on every other map).

It's the New Zealand mod!

Ummh to also contribute something useful:
those files seem to work (copied Data/* to Data/ and switched the binary).
graphics (and other) settings changable ingame and levels loading normally (well at least those that did load before).

The problem is that you have a driver with a glsl compiler that works according to the opengl standard. Apparently you need to have a glsl compiler that ignores the standard and just does something with the input.

You can work around this if you do what I said in:
viewtopic.php?f=13&t=25081&start=15#p212000
I don't really know how I would on windows.
Maybe edit the main binary with a hex editor and search and replace the string "GL_ARB_sample_shading_available" with something that does not begin with "GL_", so maybe "XX_ARB_sample_shading_available"

Applying the diff fixed the 205 build for me on a non-Steam installation, but you should really push that to Steam ASAP since it's guaranteed to crash otherwise.

[FalconBlood]

So assmuning you get the

0(1): error C0118: macros prefixed with 'GL_' are reserved

message, how does someone who has pretty much no idea about computers despite the average knowledge solve this one?

Where do I change those settings? though as many users have these issues from the 2.9mb from steam that was 2 days ago, something has changed from the development that cause such an error.

Will this game ever leave Alpha? Its been more than a year in Aplha stage

It will leave Alpha when it is ready to enter Beta.

Code: Select all

#define GL_ARB_sample_shading_available

Ok, so I ran grep on the whole overgrowth thing and this string only appears in some checks in some shaders in Data/GLSL/ and in Overgrowth.bin.x86.

So patching the binary and the shaders with sed works:

Code: Select all

sed -i "s/GL_ARB_sample_shading_available/XX_ARB_sample_shading_available/g" Overgrowth.bin.x86
for i in Data/GLSL/*; do sed -i "s/GL_ARB_sample_shading_available/XX_ARB_sample_shading_available/g" "$i"; done

But they still don't prepend #version 130 to the shader.

Seriously, what's the problem? This should be a trivial fix in about 2 lines of code, and without it their game will not work on ANY glsl compiler that follows the spec.

edit: Wait, that was unfair. They do.

Code: Select all

 $ MESA_GLSL=dump $HOME/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/run.sh ./Overgrowth.bin.x86 | grep -A 1 "source "

[...]

GLSL fragment shader 0 source for linked program 0:
(null)
--
GLSL source for vertex shader 1:
#version 130
--
GLSL source for fragment shader 2:
#version 130
--
GLSL fragment shader 0 source for linked program 3:
#version 130
--
GLSL vertex shader 1 source for linked program 3:
#version 130
--
GLSL fragment shader 0 source for linked program 0:
(null)
--
GLSL fragment shader 0 source for linked program 0:
(null)
--
GLSL fragment shader 0 source for linked program 0:
(null)
--
GLSL source for vertex shader 5:
#define XX_ARB_sample_shading_available
--
GLSL source for fragment shader 6:
#define XX_ARB_sample_shading_available

But not for all, because the 6th one fails to compile because it needs glsl 1.30 features.

Can you show a video cause i don't get what you mean ( I have windows btw)

[pumpernickel]

I'm not having that problem, but as far as I understand it's just a matter of changing each occurrence of the string (character sequence)

Code: Select all

GL_ARB_sample_shading_available

to

Code: Select all

XX_ARB_sample_shading_available

in
a) the Overgrowth binary (in windoze probably the .exe)
b) every file in the

Code: Select all

Data/GLSL/

directory containing that string

The 'sed -i ...' thingy is a linux terminal command to do exactly that (sed = streameditor), it won't help much in win.
Btw 'XX' is not important, you could put 'sausage' or 'giraffe' as well, as long as it's not 'GL' you should be fine.

Since I'm off the MS train for more than a decade I can't tell you what editor to use for that (certainly not ms word), but in principle any hex editor should do. Don't forget to back up those files first in case you #!%$ it up.
