The collected works of MattPayne

8) ive just downloaded and installed this on my O2, ive got version pre0.1 off the sorceforge site, very cool app... I like it a lot! its certainly a keeper!!!

when will the CVS? version be out?? it looks just a little more polished without the borders :)

keep up the good work!
:) for the first time in my life, ive been able to build an object in 3D with textures and bits of transparency :) and all the walls line up!!

Im now a huge blender fan :D
:) ive just downloaded this to play with on my O2...

has any progress been made with the randon locking up??? :)
ive not been able to install it yet... I untared the archive and the executable wouldnt work for me... i forget the error that came up, but ill have another look tomorrow - tbh im not sure if i installed it properly, im not used to installing without swmgr... :(
ok... it looks as though i havent installed it properly on my O2 - when i click on the ......./bin/wings icon, nothing happens...

I decoempressed the file untill i had a folder structure, and then tried running the executable... is there something else i needed to do? and where was the SDL dep found... i looked through the freeware libs but it wasnt in the 's' section.....

generally speaking - not always, mind you, just usually - if you're having a problem you'll get better results by using a terminal and typing the executable's name at the command line. Sometimes you'll need to enter < ./binary's-name > to get it to run. Usually this will give you some feedback on exactly what is failing. If it has to be run as root (cdrecord, for example) then don't forget to < su > first.



I think RTFM sums up my newbiness :) once id put the decompressed folder into the right place :oops: and used the command line (thanks hamei) the program is running...

now off to find some tutorials....
ive installed the demo of lightwave 5.6 on my Octane, and it works, except that clicking of load or save will not bring up a fiel browser or anything to load or save!!!

what were the limitations of the demo??? surly you were able to open stuff!!! :) there are a whole bunch of example files with it!!!

im currently running 6.5.26f...
I might be missing something with this... but...

it looks ok...

but reading the (limited) specs that SGI have on the site, it doesnt look like anything more than a fairly ok itainium linux box... nothing amazin, hell, nothing even remotely exciting... 2 ordinary Fire cards...??? 256mb being an option?! AGP??? somewhere i expect there is some decent bandwith for something...

the only use for the entry level machines i see, is if you have a multi processor beast, and are a tart... needing matching boxen for pretty press shots... :)
You have a PM :)
I was always under the impression that Quantam made all the drives and the OEM's just rebadged/rehoused the mechanisms....???

it appears as though the NVRAM battery on my Onyx is kaput... date and enviroment variables reset after hard power off, and a nice stream of NVRAM battery messages in the console output....

ive looked all over the IO4 and VCAM and cannot see anything that resembles a battery, removed the system monitor and there is even less on there! had a look on both sides of the backplane.....

where the dickins is it hidden? and is it an easilly replaced battery or a soldered on nightmare???? :)

you would like to see this on an IR4 :) do you have a benchmark that can be run?? id be interested to see just how powerful things have become over the past few years... GFX cards have evolved so quickly its scary!! :) - can a near silent beige desktop equal the KW consuming 7 foot monster of a few years back!!! :)

:) yearly thread bump! lol!!

any joys in finding the battery?? time isnt somuch of an issue, but the default boot is to disable the GFX :roll: so requres a terminal and a reboot to play with...

checked the back pf the system controller, but nothing... its purely a display and buttons... cable through to the backplane, which is also devoid of anything even remotely battery looking :(

your a star! I noticed the Dallas chips and was looking for a battery closeby, I didn't think of looking inside!

its all bit scary fixing! but the machine is a semi brick (or should that be pallet of bricks?!) without the battery! there are 2 timer chips... ine on the IO4 and one on 'one of those power regulator thingies' whats the betting i get the wrong one!

pentium wrote: I'm going to take a good guess that the battery in one of the dallas chips (one on the IO4 and I THINK one on the system controller) have gone south.
It should not be too hard to grind out the terminals for the battery and solder a CR2032 in its place.

If you need more info on what to do, read this.

I also see my persistance to photograph every part of my system has paid off for someone. :)

I have a whole Onyx IR in working condition with a dead pram battery - it boots with the Graphical 'Welcome to Infinite Reality' screen, then shuts off the GFX and operates in headless mode, using a console and changing the boot info it will then boot fully into an interactive desktop...

Its in the UK (Harwich) so shipping isnt 'too much' of a nightmare!

Hinv and photos are in my sig... i think!
