Ryzom

OK. I downloaded the latest revisions and re-compiled. Also tried a fresh copy of the open client from source forge. I'm compiling in "release" mode on Windows Vista with Visual Studio 2008 Pro.

The only changes I'm making to the source is in client_cfg.cpp to stop the client patching.

After compiling I'm dropping my nel_drv_opengl and openal dll into the open_client and also the ryzom client exe.

I still get that screen.

I also added:

TexturesInterface = "texture_interfaces_v3";
TexturesInterfaceDXTC = "texture_interfaces_dxtc";

to my client.cfg.

Here are the probably relevant spots in my client log regarding textures:

I think it's probably related to hard coded files in the client. It's looking for *.tga and I believe they are .dds in open client.

For anyone else with this issue, it seems to me related to the hard coded *.tga files in client_cfg.cpp. I looked in the interfaces.bnp file for the open client and I don't really see the *.tga files it's looking for. There are *.dds files in there with slightly different names.

The code is using file extension remap.
Some source png can appear as tga.
Might be the same for dds.

Ah yes:

// Remap tga files on dds files.
        CPath::remapExtension ("dds", "tga", true);
        CPath::remapExtension ("dds", "png", true);
        CPath::remapExtension ("png", "tga", true);

I also had that grey arrow screne till I copied the "gamedev" folder from \code\ryzom\client\data\ to the data folder of where my client runs from. Now I see pretty new backgrounds and new login interface :D .. Guess I should compile that into gamedev.bnp and replace the old one.

Xyber,

Thanks, must be some sort of override then. Maybe this should be added to the open client or added to the instructions on the wiki. I need to recompile my client now since I modified some of the entries from client_cfg.cpp :)

The official client (live server) and the core client (open server) don't share exactly the same data.
So with the last official patch, the client might effectively use some new data.

I just wanted to share what the solution was to my problem in case anyone is searching the forums and wants a quick fix for this issue:

From code\ryzom\client\data\gamedev\adds\interfaces I copied and renamed:

new_launcher_bg_0.tga to launcher_bg_0.tga
new_launcher_bg_1.tga to launcher_bg_1.tga

I unpacked interfaces.bnp in the open client using bnp_make and placed these 2 files inside. That solved my grey screen (missing textures) issue.

I'm sure at some point the open client archive will be updated with all these new files and a step like this will not be necessary.

It should work too placing the two files in client/user.

Ah, didn't try that. I will give it a shot, thanks Molator!

That would be easier.
