Well pocketquake now runs in landscape, there's a minor issue to resolve yet, and that is that the darn taskbar still remains visible, but that should be easy enough to fix.<br><br>I'll post the sourcecode in a while. BTW, could you map the esc key in some corner of the screen in the next release?, because we use all the buttons on the device and can't afford to waste one on the esc key, so i can see that landscape mode works but can't get out of the video conf. screen<br><br><br>

I didn't know the buttons were still there.<br>

There are several virtual buttons mapped around the outside of the screen of landscape. I need to post a diagram showing where they are...<br><br>Dan East

I use the hell out of my configs, too. I switch buttons and configs about every hour to see which works best.<br><br>The esc key needs to be hardcoded though, in case someone accidently uses an "unbindall" command and kills the console (and everything else that was bound).

There are huge graphical glitches on this version, i don't think we should release it yet. i'll send 999 some pics so that he can post them on this thread.<br><br>

Carpediem, you identified a major bug in the GAPI blit routine. The only reason that it worked on the iPaq is because the screen is oriented sideways, so if you run off the edge of the screen in landscape you wrap back around. Other devices crashed in this circumstance. I corrected the problem, while keeping all the logic precalculated in the VID_GetScreenBuf function. That way VID_Update has no mode-specific logic. I've uploaded the new source.<br>Note to anyone who downloaded PocketQuake0051_src.zip before 03-14-01 7:00PM EST: Redownload the source as it fixes a bug with the landscape mode.<br><br>Exactly what type of visual defects are you seeing? Which map, etc? This version works perfectly on the iPaq and emulator, with the only visual problem being the lack of perspective correction from Jacco's first optimization.<br><br>Dan East

[Dan East]

Have you made any other modifications to the source besides those you posted in this thread? I just wondered because you did benchmarks, etc, and didn't notice the rendering problems at that time. Does anything seem to trigger them, or is it that way from the start?<br><br>Dan East

The first screenshot shows two rooms, the second one is what you see when you enter one.<br><br>that's just an example, i would say that about 40% of the levels are that way.<br><br>Last modification: CARPEDIEM - 03/14/01 at 16:18:55

[CARPEDIEM]

Ummm.... Well, i think fixing this is going to be pretty hard. It works perfectly and somehow, for some reason, when you enter a specific room the "vertices" seem go crazy, but just the scenery.<br><br><br>

You guys are my heroes, I'll be following this thread all night at work. I hope there's a MIPS release night!

[CARPEDIEM]

Well, you won't be getting it from me.<br>:)<br>
