Grid Overlay and OpenGL 2.0 bug

Post #1by Cham » 23.08.2006, 21:42

I just noticed a bug :

When I try to use Grant Hutchison's Grid Overlay addon while in OpenGL 2.0 mode, the grids do not appears at all. The addon works very well with older rendering paths.

Here's a typical ssc command from this addon :

Code: Select all

AltSurface "Grid Overlay" "Sol/Mercury"
{
   Texture "mercury.*"
   OverlayTexture "westgrid.png"
}


I'm using the MacOS X version of the latest Celestia, with video card ATI X850 XT.

Any other user experienced something similar, with OpenGL 2.0 ?

There's a bug related to overlays in the OGL2 path in v1.4.1: they don't get drawn. You can see this if you enable "Limit of Knowledge" overlays, for example.

It's fixed in the CVS code.
