Fixed it!

Take a look at reallyslick/cpp_src/cyclone.cpp:443


glColor3f (r, g, b);


glPushMatrix ();


glLoadIdentity ();


glTranslatef (xyz[0], xyz[1], xyz[2]);


glRotatef (tiltAngle, crossVec[0], crossVec[1], crossVec[2]);


glRotatef (spinAngle, 0, 1, 0);


glTranslatef (width * cyWidth, 0, 0);


if (dStretch)


glScalef (1.0f, 1.0f, scale);


glCallList (1);


glPopMatrix ();

which is the main screen update subroutine (glLoadIdentity clears the screen and one sets up a glCalllist of functions and primitives to be shown). Note the first "glRotatef" having "tiltangle" as first argument. For some reason this glRotatef causes a no-show on SGI's native viewport but as soon as you set the display to a Linux machine with openGL support (Matrox) it did work!?!?!
Huh?
After several hours of dissecting, this tiltangle and crossVec are actually products of a machinecode optimised x86 routine with a C++ counterpart for 'other' CPU's like our MIPS. Instead of agonising assembly i took the easy way out and commented out only that first glRotatef. Viola

My Crimson sweating out a Twister:

I'll retest it on my O2 tomorrow and if i'm happy i'll pop the corrected tardists (mips3 and mips4) onto Neko's server.

Cheerio

I've spent a few hours on that last november, decided that crossVec is useless and commented out every reference to it. Works for my O2s, mailed rss's author and never heard back from him. I must have forgotten to post my results here ;-(

[quote="foetz"]hello,

neko is right. 1.7a needs newer gettext.
all versions that include libintl.so.4 are fine.

------

I saw this and thought, "Oh kewl !" because I'd tried the nice shiny
new Nekochan Thunderbird and Firefox binariies (thanks foetz) only
to get the dreaded "cannot map " message.

So I grabbed the newer gettext but still only get as far as

5793:./firefox-bin: rld: Fatal Error: Cannot Successfully map soname 'libintl.so.4' under any of the filenames

hello,

just add /usr/local/lib to your LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH.

hello again,

you need some libs from the bigpack availible on the mainsite.
at least xft and xrender cause i compiled it with xft support so we get nice smooth fonts.

you can use this method in general whenever some libs are missing.

search for the file and when you find it just add the path to LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH (without N32 for old libs and with 64 for 64bit libs).
if the file isn't availible you have some missing packages for running the specific app.

Just got xft build of firefox up and running, most sites the fonts are fine, but here on the nekochan forums they are worse, must go playing with font settings (install my windows font pack might be an idea)

still great to have decent fonts on most websites

i'll tell neko to delete it. please use the official named versions.

sure, will do, even if it is abit buggy, it's still great work, am just wondering about installing windows fonts, i know on linux with XFT i could just slot the ttf into a .fonts directory in my home dir. Does this still work on XFT on Irix?

Is it just me, or in that twister, are those polys supposed to be front-facing? I'm guessing this is what the crossVec takes care of (rotating based on camera view to display front-facing?) or are they actually supposed to be almost lines like that?
