1.5.0CVS doesn't label stars

Adirondack · Post #1by **Adirondack** » 20.11.2006, 09:34

When I mark the checkbox "Label Stars" at "View Options" no stars are labeled in my CVS061108 (WIN32) version.
I can't believe that nobody else had noticed that bug.

This is really not a new bug unfortunatly... it should be solved in 1.5.0...

It's NOT a bug. It's a temporary feature, typical for CVS code. The labeling is attached ONLY to Chris' NEW star code that has to be activated for now with the key @=SHIFT+2, before labels may become visible.

The labelling does NOT support all rendering paths anymore, however.

I just committed a change to CVS that enables star labeling for the old star rendering path.

I tried, but the labels are blinking, depending on the distance.

with Windows XP SP2, Radeon 9200 SE, Render Path: Basic, Multitexture

I'm also seeing star labels blink in Basic and Multitexture mode. They appear, blinking, while Celestia is moving toward having the Sun centered, and are on continuously whle the viewpoint is looking at the Sun without moving. Then they blink while the viewpoint is moving to the Earth, and when the viewpoint reaches the Earth, the star labels disappear. The symptoms are the same whether or not HDR is enabled, although HDR being enabled doesn't change the appearence of anything in those two Render paths.

The star labels are visible and stable in any of the vertex program paths, but only if the HDR code is enabled. Otherwise they're invisible.

System:
1GB 3.4GHz P4-550, WinXP Pro SP2

The flickering of star labels with the old star code is now fixed. The culprit was an uninitialized variable.
