Hello everyone, I've been working on adapting one of my projects (a mmorpg) to use soya3d instead of my own horrible pyopengl rendering engine :D So far, I love soya! it solves a lot of problems I've been having. Everything has been good so far, but I have some speed issues that I can't quite put my finger on yet. Recently friend comes over, so I used the opportunity to see if my game will still run on windows with the soya engine:
With the soya-0.13 for windows with python 2.4, the game runs seamlessly, and the character (while not animated yet) moves across the screen at a smooth and consistent rate, as expected. (see the end of the email for information on the machines used) On my machine, with soya-0.13.1 for linux with python 2.4, the game runs very choppy; the character skips across the screen rather than smoothly moving. My code manually updates the x/y/z of the model each time "begin_round" is called on a particular world object, but I do not believe this is the cause of the choppy movement. I'd give frame rates, but I'm not sure how to derive them yet. The server daemon itself was on a different computer. Any thoughts on what might be causing this / possible optimization techniques? For example, how might I go about limiting the game's fps, etc. Thanks in advance :) (obligatory machine info:) -------- Friend's machine: His machine is an AM-2 laptop with a nvidia chipset, and runs windows XP -------- My Machine: On my machine, I'm runnig, I have soya 0.13.1 installed, running in python 2.4. I'm running Debian GNU/linux (unstable branch, though the I installed soya manually because the package is horribly out of date in apt). My system is a intel core2duo laptop with a intel 945GM I did not get the info soya dumps into the console from my friend's machine, but mine returns this: """ libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x69 do_wait: drmWaitVBlank returned -1, IRQs don't seem to be working correctly.
