[They Got Leader]

Christes, I have the same error. Nvidia Geforce GTX 470 as well. Something seems to be not working.

[thewonderidiot]

Well, that's very interesting. Just to be sure, have you both installed the latest drivers from nVidia? If you've both got the most recent drivers and DX9, then there might be something up with the GTX 470 and Ogre. If you guys are on the latest drivers, I'll post a note on the Ogre bug tracker.

[They Got Leader]

Will check update.

[They Got Leader]

Alright, so the driver needed serious updating. I updated it and then checked my Direct X version. I am using the latest Nvidia Geforce GTX 470 driver with Direct X 11. I am still receiving the same error.

[thewonderidiot]

Right. I'll post this on the bug tracker and let you know if anything comes up. Sorry about the issues.

awesome visualizer! i'm looking forward to future releases.

EDIT:Bug report i viewed one of my forts that has a natural waterfall and while Ogreseer rendered the water for the upper half of the river perfectly it left the lower half empty.

absolutely awesom

Yeah, water around waterfalls is funky. It's probably trying to prevent drawing multiple layers of water for the same body, and getting confused and getting rid of the river instead of the waterfall piece that it's conflicting with. I bet if you unpause DF, pause it again, and rerun Overseer, at least some of the time it'll draw the lower river.

Anyways, that's just speculation. I didn't handle waterfalls and turbulent water very gracefully -- just as a sample/placeholder. I'm looking to replace waterfalls with particle effects to make things look more natural down the road. When that happens, the water issue should disappear. Thanks for the bug report, though, I'll make sure it gets fixed.

3 things

1. I am getting the same bug as They Got Leader and I have geforce as well.
2. Is there anyway to get the old overseer (before you switched to ogre) to work with .25?
3. If somehow I get it to work will it show a large vertical map, as in, 230 z levels up from ground level? Overseer worked long enough to see it stopped at z level 189 or so above ground level.

[Halnoth]

Alright, I got it too work. I reinstalled directx 10 and that seemed to fix the issue. As to the vertical map that was a derp moment for me, although DF shows the top of the mountain as 230 z level in reality hell is at z level 50 for some reason so overseer was in fact rendering the entire map.

As an FYI, I'm getting a different error(latest version, 31.25 Memory.xml). 

"OGRE EXCEPTION(2:InvalidParametersException): Named constants have not been initialized, perhaps a compile error, in GpuProgramParameters:: _findNamedConstantDefinition at ..\..\..\..\OgreMain\src\OgreGpuProgramParams.cpp(line 1423)."

Thanks for all your work for the community.

Is there any way to add in textures?  My current fort is a (very) above-ground city of stoneware, but since stoneware constructions show up as untextured white boxes I'm unable to use Overseer to display its true glory.

If this can only be done from your end, a placeholder copying something like marble or claystone would be more than sufficient and greatly appreciated.


edit: Also the memory.xml linked on the first post is got corrupted or vandalized or something, didn't work at all.  I was able to get the right one by copying from DF hack but you may still wanna fix it.

That would be Ogre failing to compile the Cg shader for your graphics card. Be sure your graphics card drivers are completely up-to-date; that's the most common cause of stuff like this.

Sure. Check out Ogre.log, somewhere in there you'll find lines of it complaining about materials not being defined. You can then add the missing materials to the various *.material scripts, using the already existing materials as a guideline.

Shouldn't be -- it looks fine to me. How did you try to download it? If you copied and pasted from something like Firefox, then the formatting is going to be all wrong. You need to either save the page with File->Save/Ctrl+s or copy and paste the page source.

Awesome, thanks!  Worked like a charm:

Ah, yea, Chrome garbled it all up.  You're right, save-as gave the right version.

Still an awesome program, but in my most recent fort I noticed a glaring flaw.

NO MAGMA!

I mean building a front gate over a volcano isn't nearly as awesome looking if it just looks like building a gate over a really really deep hole with black sides and a white bottom.  Am I just missing a file or is the program unable to read magma at this point?
