Re: [Flightgear-devel] Autumn colors
Thorsten Renk wrote I've just pushed the current state of the autumn color model where the amount of coloring is encoded in the texture alpha channel. I've tried to be very conservative and pushed alternative textures (marked with *- autumn.png) where this is done - I could not see any negative effects in the default rendering scheme (no terrain holes or so), but this way it's easy to roll back in case of unexpected problems - only the regional texture scheme references the alternative textures, neither dds or default do. Please let me know if there is trouble. If anyone wants to try the scheme, use high quality level with the Atmospheric Light Scattering scheme and the regional texturing scheme, then change season in the environment settings. I have tested mainly in central Europe, so it's rather likely that there will be texture sheets without alpha channel set, which will stick out if you test elsewhere. I regard the current state as proof of concept. If there is a graphic artist available who wants to optimize the texture alpha channel settings for best effect, please get in touch - I am not very good with gimp, and I've just coarsely painted on the textures to get a feeling for the effect. Trees are not color-changed, so if you want autumn trees, you have to edit Materials/regions/materials.xml manually and change to the autumn or winter tree variants. It looks nice though... Otherwise enjoy! I think I must have something wrong here: much of the textures which were green turn a horrid brown colour, it looks like nothing I have ever seen on the ground in the UK. Is that what is intended? Vivian -- Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Autumn colors
I think I must have something wrong here: much of the textures which were green turn a horrid brown colour, it looks like nothing I have ever seen on the ground in the UK. Is that what is intended? That'd depend on the slider position and the landclass I guess - no way to tell without a screenshot. Full late autumn turns everything earth-coloured and is supposed to be the background for a snow cover. I doubt the UK gets cold enough in winter that the vegetation dies off to such a degree (it does in Finland...) and there is no attempt made to regionalize the slider effect - it probably looks really silly if you use it in a tropical location.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] OSX 10.5 compilation
On Feb 11, 2013, at 03:05 PM, ys flightg...@sablonier.ch wrote:Hi James I guess this forking would be possible with the cocoa and the svn patch, but I'm struggling with something different at the moment. Everything compiles fine against 10.5 but when I start flightgear I have no engine sound, and when engine sounds are activated fg hangs (no segfault). I can only startup with aircrafts that have no engines running (i.e. c172p or b1900), the others will crash flightgear and I get a simgear log entry that the associated wav files are corrupted or truncated. Ehrm, looking where this message is generated there are a lot of possibilities in your new wavreader ;-) Can you give me any hint where this OpenAL sound problem could reside? Strange thing is that avionics sound works (i get some 'instrument beeps' in b1900 i.e.), only the engine is a problem. When I turn off sounds (switching off master in the GUI) everything works as expected, I get 30 fps without shaders and out of KSFO, keys are working etc. Maybe this is not related to 10.5 at all and there are some other important changes/patches for osx compilation I missed after alut nuke ?To be honest I have no ideas - the WAV reading code is extremely simple, and copied directly from the ALUT sources - it's used everywhere - Windows, Linux and Mac, with no #ifdefs. So I can't imagine why some sounds would work and not others. Except, some of our beeps (morse code) are synthesised, not loaded from WAVs.Some WAVs are stereo, but the code must handle this or every platform would die. Could it be an endian issue? PPC?Ah, I wonder if I assumed PPC was gone, when porting the code?
