Hi all,

some people have noticed that our latest asd demo metamorphosis
( http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=50127 )
does not work with the newest ATI drivers.

After working a few days with the following good people:

Troels Østeraa
Hannes 'robotriot' Drexl
Chris 'psonice' Wood

I've found what was wrong. Apparently

glTexImage2D doesn't seem to like GL_COMPRESSED_RGB as internal format any more. Trying to do so will not give you an error or a crash straight away. If you try to use that texture (bind) it will then crash / slow down to a standstill. Weird. Any ideas ?


The new version for people with ATI problems (this one doesn't compress textures at all) is at:

www.asd.gr/~navis/asd_-_metamorphosis.zip

oh try to use the mousewheel while you're at it too ! :-)

will try it on all ATI cards in reach :D

now, it doesn't work with nvidia :( jk ;)

thanks for the information Navis.

Navis: Thanks, now back to father duties...!

thx, it now works perfectly here :)

(I'm using GL_COMPRESSED_RGBA here and it works ok... you know, RGB formats are always tricky)

okay cool, sorry I didn't mail you but I'll try this fix and let you know

tested @work on a shitty radeon xpress200 >> works fine
