invisible characters (Ive tried old solutions and they didnt work)

[ghost]

Hi devs! a couple of months ago i compiled a GL ES residualvm than runs grim fandango and escape from monkey island pretty good on the pi under mesa drivers. Recently, i could make a residualvm with full opengl implementation and even The Loungest Journey its really playable on this little and cheap board. the problems occurs in grim and on monkey island. if i open a saved game itthe characters may appeard..but if i start a game they are never on scene. maybe I should compile Lua? dont know.
ive compiled the master and sometimes the last release, but i keep on master because the latest commits reffers on longest journey...

my youtube channel if you want to see how it performs:
mesa rocks!!! btw... its seams tha full opengl performs better on monkey 4 and grim...but i couldnt call it a better performance if the characters arent there haha

Could you let the game run under gltrace (pick the game, hit 'start game in the menu', skip the intro cinematics) and provide us with the output file? That might give some clues as to what goes wrong.

[ghost]

I couldn't compile gltrace, just apitrace and it doesn't output log. So, I will figured out soon how to do that. Opengl + shadders runs much better than opengl. Myst 3 works great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZipdKSSLFY I forget to set full screen.

[ghost]

The are many gltrace programs. You are asking for a particular mesa tool called gltrace? Oranother one ?

[Botje]

Sorry, I meant apitrace.
If you run apitrace trace /path/to/residualvm it should create a residualvm.trace in the current directory.

[ghost]

Ok!!! Its funny because when I use gles it only let me build emi and grim... And now the other works perfect and then grim and emi doesnt work properly. I will send you the log!
If I set opengl only in emi the characters appears, but that doesnt happend on grim...
Thanks

[ghost]

sorry for that. a mistake. this trace its on grim under opengl + shaders and arb activated, because that doesn't solve the issue . As i said the performance its much better on opengl + shader on emi and grim... but i couldn't use it one any of them because this problem. meanwhile, i could run monkey4 on opengl lonely and the characters are there. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Jo9WFSy7Xu4Gtcjh0x2aRM7Kvnpht4KP/view?usp=sharing

Running the trace on my desktop doesn't point out the issue; it just works ... We'll need someone with a raspberry Pi to find out what is wrong.

[ghost]

Ok. I will try a partial solution having 2 resdualvms than targets differents opengl libs linking to differents opengl libs obviously

[ccawley2011]

This problem occurs on Android as well. Can this issue be reopened?

[ghost]

@ccawley2011 did you try to set "use_arb_shaders=false" on the config file?? Just to be sure if your problem its related and unsolved like mine.
