Dear Maintainer,

STK 0.8 PowerPC has wrong colors in tracks and on any karts.

Is it an Irrlicht or a STK problem?

Hi,

The issue with the wrong colors has been solved. :)

Please insert the following line into file COpenGLExtensionHandler.cpp, line 372 (directly before MultiTextureExtension = FeatureAvailable[IRR_ARB_multitexture] ;)
FeatureAvailable[IRR_ARB_vertex_array_bgra]=FeatureAvailable[IRR_EXT_vertex_array_bgra]=false;

Regards,

Christian

Hi,

This patch is only for ppc systems. It isn't suitable for other systems like x86, ARM etc. I'm very happy about this patch. STK 0.8 works as well as the x86 version of STK 0.8. I have released a static package of STK 0.8 with AltiVec support and integrated Irrlicht patch:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/supertuxkart/files/SuperTuxKart/0.8/supertuxkart-0.8-altivec-linux-glibc2.13-ppc.tar.bz2/download

The Irrlicht patch is an unofficial patch for ppc systems at time. Unfortunately there isn't a link to a upstream svn commit. I'm sorry.

Regards,
Christian

I'll try to get a patch from the irrlicht team (http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=48577&p=281596#p281541).

[Christian Zigotzky (chzigotzky-xenosoft)]

Hi All,

The solution works with the new release candidate 1 of STK 0.8.1 again.
I've asked the Irrlicht and STK developer if they could integrate this
solution in the Irrlicht source code.

All the best,

Hi, Christian is this still an issue with unmodified supertux? IIRC this was properly fixed within mesa graphics drivers.

[Christian Zigotzky (chzigotzky-xenosoft)]

I think yes. We are still using our fixed static PowerPC packages but we will test the latest STK.

@All
Could you please test the latest STK?

This is an issue with SuperTuxKart itself, not the Ubuntu package. If this is still an issue with the latest version of SuperTuxKart, please report the issue at https://github.com/supertuxkart/stk-code/issues
