It just sat there with a blank black screen - I had to kill the process. I half expected to see an exception reported in the log.

[EgonOlsen]

But can you set 800*600*32@60 without a problem? It crashes on Display.setDisplayMode(mode).

No, i can't. Maybe that's because i'm using refresh-force, a tool that forces a fixed refresh-rate (of 85Hz in my case). I'm doing this, because i simply can't stand the 60Hz flickering many OpenGL games are showing otherwise and this tool was the only thing that worked on my machine.

tryied again, this time no crash so the log doesn't show anything useful but the menu still doesn't show up.

@Orangy Tang:
I doubled the sparks

@EgonOlsen:
On the desktop, there's a .cosmictrip folder with a config.xml file. You can set the refresh rate from 60 to 85 there. (If there's also a .config.xml, delete it. It's from the previous version and doesn't have the //video/refresh tag). There will be a GUI for that at startup.

@zparticle, swpalmer, elias, matzon:
I moved the near clipping pane a bit closer in a vague attempt to solve the black screen problem (the menu was draw exactly on the near clipping pane, although the overlays do not do any depth testing).
You could also try pressing return after a few secs of black screen (maybe after a mouse click for focus which seems somtimes to be necessary with jws). It should enter the game then.

Ona little bit different note, EricD, the demo you let me see a few weeks ago looks great.  I am keen to show whatever you have have on a demo pod in our booth at GDC and point people to your site.

Very cool and quite addictive

I've deleted the JWS cache and downloaded the whole stuff again. Now i have a config.xml-file in that directory and i changed the refresh-rate to 85. But it still gives me the same error. It still tries to set 800*600@60Hz and exits...

[erikd]

That's strange   It works here by just changing the refresh tag in the config.xml.
The latest version also has a bit more logging. Could you post the log again?

Nope still blank & black.

Though the webstart log now has the OGL capabilities:

Ok, I tried it again, this time music started and I could enter the game by pressing enter. But still no menu :/

@egon:
Hmmm  :-/
Here's the mode selection. width, height and refresh come from config.xml

1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11   12   13   14   15   16   17   18   19   20   21   22   23   24   25   26   27   28   29

DisplayMode[] modes = Display.getAvailableDisplayModes();               if (modes.length < 1) {                     throw new Exception("Could not set a display mode.");               }                                 // Try to select a preferred display mode (800x600, 32 or 16 bit, 60Hz preferred any other accepted)               for (int i = 0; i < modes.length; i++) {                   if (modes[i].width == width && modes[i].height == height // screen dimensions must be correct                          && modes[i].bpp >= bits // prefer highest bit depth possible                      && modes[i].bpp != 24 // except 24 bits                      && modes[i].freq <= 90 // filter out high refresh rates,                                             // some video drivers incorrectly report too high rates                      // choose 1st potential mode or mode with higher color depth or a mode with preferred refresh rate                          && (mode<0 || modes[i].bpp > modes[mode].bpp || (modes[mode].freq != refresh && modes[i].freq == refresh)) ) {                       System.out.println("Maybe selecting mode " + modes[i].toString());                       mode = i;                   }                     }                             // If no mode is found, do a loose selection of any display mode reported by the driver as available.               if (mode == -1) {                     System.out.print("Failed to choose preferred display mode, falling back to any mode:");                     mode = 0;                     System.out.println(modes[mode].toString());               }                       //Display.create(modes[mode], fullscreenflag);             Display.setDisplayMode(modes[mode]);

I can't see the error and it works for me when I set the refresh rate at 85 in config.xml, although I could probably make the code a bit more clever. Does someone spot the error?

As for the black screen problem, I'm still totally lost about why this happens on some machines. There's nothing special in the menu. Just a couple of quads.  :-/
If it would have something to do with depthbuffer/near clipping, you wouldn't see the hud in the game as well. And you do see it there, do you? (I have the same problem on my PC at work and I can see the hud in the game).

Again, thanks for testing everybody.

@EgonOlsen:

Could it be that you also have a .cosmictrip/config.xml in C:/Program Files/Java Web Start by any chance?

[EgonOlsen]

Could it be that you also have a .cosmictrip/config.xml in C:/Program Files/Java Web Start by any chance?

I searched for config.xml on the all hard discs and found another one in "F:\Programme\Gemeinsame Dateien\System\Mapi\1031\.cosmictrip\config.xml". I modified the refresh rate and it works now. But what the hell is "Mapi\1031"? Anyway, i don't see the menu. The game itself looks fine.

[erikd]

Hm, I should store the config in a more controlled way I think.

I put up a new version with more logging and which bails out if a GL error occurs. If anyone experiencing the absent menu (black screen) could give it a try and post the log, that would be great!

Thanks a lot guys. You are a great help.

Unfortunately, the logs don't show anything out of the ordinary. The invalid Attract state error is a red herring, the GL error is correct (some fog value gets out of range, although when I disable GL error checks, it seems to work just fine. I should still fix it though)

I'll try to do some bug hunting at work, where I have the same problem, (if my boss is not watching  ).

Erik

[erikd]

Heh, I found the problem  
I'll upload a new version tonight.

and what was it then? "I found the problem" is waaaay too easy :-)

When the app starts, somewhere along the way a 'Fog' object is created which isn't updated until the actual game starts.
In the Fog constructor code I set the initial fog values to start=0, end=0, rgb=0, alpha=1.0, density=0. As it turns out, these values cause a black screen on many cards except my nvidia. So I changed the initial values. It works on the Intel card of my PC at work anyway (had the same problem there) so I expect it to work on other machines too.
I'll update the webstart version when I get home and post here when it's done.

[erikd]

The new version is online now. I hope it works now. I tested it on a PC with Intel Crap-O-Matic video card(I might have got that name wrong ), and a laptop with ATI Radeon something.

The demo is now 5 levels. I'd like to know if it still works in level 4 and 5 as the fog values get out of range. Works fine here, but that obviously doesn't say anything.

Erik

[erikd]

BTW, if you get low framerates, lower the resolution in the /.cosmictrip/config.xml file. The framerate very much depends on fill rate. You can even get it to run quite smooth on an Intel video card when you set the resolution low enough.

confirmed the menu shows up now.

[elias]

Yep, it shows up here too. Nice game btw!

kool looking screen shots, although i have to get lwjgl running first to play it.

looks real nice tho  

[swpalmer]

Good new and bad news:

The good news: I now see a menu screen on the Mac.  It flips between title, highscores, and menu.

The bad news: I can't start the game because it doesn't respond to input from any device.


There doesn't appear to be any related info in the webstart log.

[elias]

swpalmer: that's a bug with LWJGL when used with swing (and therefore JWS). We're working on it....

Just to expand on this. The cause is that any application that isn't a bundle doesn't receive input from the "input server" or whatever controls input. It's *really* a stupid design decision from Apple. It's blatantly obvious when doing a simple console application that opens a simple alert dialog (using CreateStandardAlert) - you are allowed to show it, but you can't dismiss it .
Creating a lwjgl lib as a bundle should fix this - but since none of  us "ordinary" devs are mac users, mac tends to stall a bit (untill we get a hold of a mac, or an active mac developer)
