Oolite Bulletins

As we move in the general direction of a stable release, we need some compatibility testing for the graphics changes in Oolite. In particular, we need as many people as possible to run the new material test suite for 1.74. That includes you. Yes, you. Especially you.

Note that this applies to all systems, including ones without shader support.

More information can be found on the test suite’s very own wiki page. Test results may be e-mailed or posted in this thread.

Edit: An additional request: please also report if your system supports full shaders, but runs significantly slower that way.

All the cubes appeared OK, no missing cubes or display errors and i could see the space dust whilst flying around, it got suitably streaking when using the jump drive 'j' key and i put a planet between myself and the sun and saw that both the dust and my ship got shadowed properly. Awesome to see proper fading in and out of the dust particles whilst flying towards the planet (or any non black bit of the screen), no more black dots swimming around!

Looks like everything works fine.

Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
OpenGL Renderer:
Vendor: Intel Inc.
Rendered: Intel GMA 950 OpenGL Engine
Texture image unit count: 16

Results:
Everything looks fine. On "full" mode while testing, there are only black boxes, but that's prooobably because the GMA 950 doesn't support full shaders at all.

Well, quite. The entire point is to find that out. (Actually, I already knew about this particular chip and this particular OS, but in general, this is about the most interesting type of report.)

Mac OS X Version 10.6.3
OpenGL renderer "NVIDIA GeForce 9400M OpenGL Engine",
vendor "NVIDIA Corporation";
shaders are fully supported, texture image unit count is 16.

All tests looked fine but no pie at the end.

Sorry that it didn't become clear that I was ironic. I already knew that as well, that's why I didn't investigate further.

It is my experience that people go to great lengths to explain away problems rather than report them, so my tolerance for humour in this area is rather low. :-)

Windows 7 x64 Catalyst 10.5
ATI Radeon HD4890 1Gb

OpenGL renderer "ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series ",
vendor "ATI Technologies Inc.";
shaders are fully supported, texture image unit count is 16.

All tests passed, space dust looks just fine in all shader modes.

Pie eaten (but I had to buy my own), looking forward to trying the new and improved game itself.

I may be a rookie pilot with a ship that veers constantly to the left, but I'm ever ready to help out with the development of this game!
