Linux problem with custom content: Textures

[Odranoela]

I need to know about the custom textures in the server.
The problem I have is, some of the custom content areas [example: Dapplegreen] do not display the textures correctly, looks like my character is on a snow field...
White textures and some bugged trees too. But I can see some of the [what I think is] custom trees and whatnot. Though things like the gate and stonewalls of Crimson Eagle's display really odd, white and/or messy.
It was a marathon of google and command lines to set up the game properly and now this is the only thing keeping me from playing.

Questions:

Do these textures support 64bit systems?

Can it be a problem on my configuration, seeing the original campaigns and expansions work properly?

Should I try and install CEP, maybe it'll make a difference even though I doubt it?

Anyone run into the same problem?

I sent Chongo a PM regarding this since he created the new areas and stuff but I decided to make this public, since he might have no idea what I'm on about and I don't wanna be taking one's time too much.. There are some other Linux veterans here and I think that maybe they can help me.

Thanks in advance.

PS: I apologize for the people I had deals/RP with but it's really bummer to play with the textures looking like . I would like to get this resolved before getting back in game for good.

This sounds like a video driver issue to me. CEP would make no difference as we don't use it though we do have some of the stuff that is in CEP.

I'm on my Windows boot side right now, so I can't give you the exact instructions....But can you do the 'glxinfo |grep vendor' thing on your terminal and tell me what it says? It was either that or 'glxinfo' by itself...You'll have to tell me. Sorry, been a while.

[Odranoela]

glxinfo | grep vendor displays:

Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
server glx vendor string: SGI
client glx vendor string: ATI
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.

[Interia_Discordius]

And what distro of Linux did you say you used?

[Odranoela]

SuSe 10.2

[Interia_Discordius]

You need to install the xlib. Do you know how?

[Odranoela]

Yep, though I got xlib installed.

[Interia_Discordius]

I personally used an ATI card for Linux with NwN, and due to that, I had the same exact problem...It ended up with me having to use a dual boot with Windows to play NwN.

Give me some time, and I'll try to see what I can do for you. Maybe you'll have better luck than I did


Edit: The thing I tried to do was installing fglrx...Didn't work for me, but have you tried it?

[Odranoela]

Yep, I did. The problem seem to be with ATI cards, mine's a ATI Radeon 9600 [128MB]
I'm trying to reinstall the ATI drivers and setup the config. =]

[Interia_Discordius]

Wish I could help more for you Sorry about that.

[orth]

Have you tried lowering all your game video settings? Might be something in there.  I have no problems with any of the areas with my Radeon 9600 (fglrx) on Debian.

[Odranoela]

That's because you got it setup correctly ;]
I tried changing all of the setting In-game, but gamma and resolution won't work. and textures do change but the ones that I can't see i still can't see..

[Talan Va'lash]

If the game runs, you don't have any lib problems. If you do, it wont run or will break before you can get into a game.

You're not running it in wine are you?

---

I'm running ubuntu on a 64 bit dual core machine w/a nvidia card and it works great after a ton of screwing with libraries and such. but if any of the graphics libraries are missing the game won't run afaik. Oh, I'm also running Xorg rather than xFree86

It may be the ATI thing, my apple has an ATI card and some textures are odd. Some were even white before one of the nwn patches about a year or two ago.

I suppose it's possible you made some mistake in getting the textures from the windows install (unless it's only custom tex's that are broke)

---

Sorry that isn't very helpful, however I'd say it's a good bet that this isn't a lib problem.

[Odranoela]

Game runs perfectly, other than some of the custom textures.
Not WINE, I'm using the Linux port.
I didn't get any textures from the windows install.
I'm betting it's some kind of setting on the ATI card that is preventing me to display those textures, but I'm clueless at this point.
Thanks though.

what's output of "glxinfo | grep s3tc"?

[Odranoela]

Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".

[bytor]

Yeah, those white textures are usually sign that GL_EXT_texture_compression_s3tc OpenGL extension is missing.

Are you using fglrx or open source drivers? And if you could either upload or PM me your Xorg.0.log (unless you already checked it)? I'm currently at work, but wouldn't mind a distraction...

[Odranoela]

fglrx, and here goes Xorg.0.log:

I think that's fglrxinfo output you posted, right? Xorg.0.log is file under /var/log/, but by the look of that output, it should be OK... just to be sure, you can run:
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "(WW)"
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "(EE)"

Anyway, if you run:
LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose fglrxinfo
and
LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose nwn

Do you get same initialization output? Any errors for nwn? And on a side note, if you're running any other 32-bit OpenGL apps, do they work alright?
