@AmigaBlitter

hmmm... something like this in dos:

cd path
makedir dir
if warn
;deal with something wrong.
endif
'all is ok

You can ignore protection bits, the default RWED is ok for most purposes.

Why POSIX style?

OS4 uses CD & MakeDir, CD is optional, you can just type a path in shell to cd to it.

The Amiga equivalent would be:

cd somewhere
makedir S_IRWXU
if exists "S_IRWXU"
;do something
else
;error
endif

@Caras

Finally got a log file with some hopefully not as useless as it looks info in it.

Ususaly I just get:

AmiCraft Nova.
Video init success
Start main loop.

This time after a lockup I got 274 "Attempt to free() is invalid." messages on one line.

Edit:

I doubled the stack size to 2000000 and got a dsi instead of a system lockup

Here's the crashlog:



save the image and Use dicpng to extract it.

I ugnored the DSI and could play for a few minutes then got a lockup, will try a bigger stack.

@Caras

A bit more info:

It looks like the lockups occur during the auto save. I did a proper exit and restarted until the system locked.

a list of the game drawer shows:

furnaces 164 ----rw-d Today 17:35:49
chests 4 ----rw-d Today 17:35:49
gamedata 18296 ----rw-d Today 17:35:49
region.7.7 594064 ----rw-d Today 17:26:37
structures 262144 ----rw-d Yesterday 02:01:37
region.8.8 725168 ----rw-d Today 17:26:37
region.7.8 2101760 ----rw-d Today 17:26:37
dummy 2 ----rw-d 23-Oct-15 20:00:20
biomemap.raw 589824 ----rw-d Yesterday 02:01:37

As you can see the region.x.x date stamps are 10 minutes older.

@Caras

That worked. in this grab you can see the stone block my 'head' was stuck in:




Amicraft locks up regularly for me unless I play for a dew minutes, exit, restart play another few minutes etc.

The lockups are really annoying when for example I'd found coal, set up a furnace and was creating stone, locked up, restarted and the furnace, coal, cobbles and stone were all gone.

@Caras

Thanks to Daniel I can now use OGLES2. I've tried the latest Amicraft. and tried it, I do got a system lockup (while mining) and had to do a case button reboot. but when I started the game again I could not move. I was underground and had to dig out all the blocks again. I cleared a large space around me but trying to move in any direction fails, I can repeatly hit w and I move forward and backward a little (just the run stretching effect). I assume I'm stuck inside a block which isn't rendered. I can email the game files if you need them.

I'm using creative mode. is there a way to die and respawn so I can get out of the mancave I'm building?

Edit:

Tried again, got asnother lockup while underground and on restart I'm trapped inside a block again. can remove all the blocks around me but not the one I'm in.

@AmiKit

Another bit if testing and some clarification, it's only some windows I can not drag (dopus5), I tried YAM and they drag with no problems.

@AmiKit

Tried latest version on my droidbox and have yet another problem.

I can not drag a window with it's titlebar. single and double clicks work, dragging a lasso works.

mouse emulation is set to none.

The other problem I had with the jumping mouse pointer is fixed by turning off tv borders but still have the android and amiga pointers. can the android pointer be disabled if a mouse is connected?

Check sys:prefs/internet

Not simply, you can use the 'earlier' command to check if the installed file is older than yours but it's too unreliable as filedates can be changed by the user, a bad battery, just by the user changing the files location.

You could use something like:

(run setenv filedate `list <filename> lformat "%D"`)

then use installers getenv function.

@alfkil

404!

@MickJT

It's a bloody good job M$ don't use that rule, They'd have to bundle 40 years of products...

What about doing it the ugly but safer way?

Use WBenchToFront() everytime and WBenchToBack() if workbench wasn't the frontmost screen when the hotkey is used.

@all

Is there anybody here it and the openglse demos are NOT working for? if so please give your system specs: computer type + ram, graphics card + ram. It's not working for me.

X1000 2GB, ATI 7770HD 1GB

@Hitman

Warp3D works with the same cards as WarpNOVA but you have to buy the drivers from AmiStore

Supported cards are:

- Radeon HD 7750-7970 series graphics card (excluding the Radeon HD 7790)
- Radeon R7 250X/265
- Radeon R9 270/270X/280/280X
- IMPORTANT: Please use a graphics card with GDDR RAM; cards with DDR3 RAM
have been reported as not working on AmigaOS

But finding a PCI one will be nearly impossible, a pcie to pci adaptor will cost as much as the gfx card :(

@xenic

I have reported the problem on the OS4 bugtracker.

@Hitman

Warp3D does not work with 5450s as there is no driver for the chip set on it. The old pip (overlay) is not supported by the card. For video playback you want liveforit's mplayer from os4depot and use -vo comp_yuv2 or try the rmotion alpha version

If you want 3D/overlay support you would be better with an 128but R9250.

The main advantage with the 5450 is faster 2D and more memory so you can use 1920x1080x32 whereas with a 9250 you're better of sticking to 16 bit screens for speed.

@xenic

Probably me using ForEach wrong. the docs are written by a dev for a dev. the script is pointless anyway. it's just as easy just to use the ForEach command directly eg.

ForEach i in #?.txt com "type *"${i.path}$i*" number" all files sort

(forgot to add the sort option in the original post.)

@ChrisH

You could also use the foreach command:

SPatDF alternate:

.key COM/A,DIR/A,PAT/A,OPT1,OPT2,OPT3,OPT4
.bra {
.ket }

FailAt 21
CD "{DIR}"
ForEach file in "{PAT}" COM "{COM} *"${file.PATH}$file*" {OPT1} {OPT2} {OPT3 {OPT4}" FILES
FailAt 10

SPatRDF Alternate:

.key COM/A,DIR/A,PAT/A,OPT1,OPT2,OPT3,OPT4
.bra {
.ket }

FailAt 21
CD "{DIR}"
ForEach file in "{PAT}" COM "{COM} *"${file.PATH}$file*" {OPT1} {OPT2} {OPT3 {OPT4}" FILES ALL
FailAt 10

I have not tested these scripts.
