Textures not rendered in a sample demo

NinjaPangolin · October 27, 2017, 1:13pm

I decided to try out Urho3d engine, so the first thing I did was downloading git repository, compiling it and then checking out provided samples. Then I saw that 19_VehicleDemo doesn’t have any textures and looks like that:

What am I doing wrong? I use Lubuntu.

What about other demos?
Hardware? OS?

NinjaPangolin · October 27, 2017, 1:37pm

Some demos seems to be rendered correctly and some not. 23_Water looks very bad. In 18_CharacterDemo only character is rendered correctly:

GUI and particle effects seems to work.

OS is Lubuntu Linux, as previously mentioned. PC is quite old, Radeon HD 4850 graphic card.

What does glxinfo tell you about your OpenGL version?

If I force using OpenGL 2 with -gl2 flag as described here, textures are rendered correctly.

dsadfsfdsfdsfds

So it looks like handling OpenGL version 3 is the source of the problem.

Eugene · October 27, 2017, 8:14pm

I’m afraid that if these issues are caused by GL drivers, it’s unlikely to have them solved inside Urho.
However, I suggest you to check the program in any GL debugger. Urho may have some non-standard constructions that get broken.

NinjaPangolin · October 27, 2017, 9:32pm

Problem solved.

I used GL debugger, as advised above (this one) and I found out that engine, among other things, requires GL_EXT_texture_compression_s3tc extension, which I didn’t have. I installed using sudo apt-get install libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0 as described here and managed to run examples correctly.

Perhaps some sort of a warning when an OpenGL extension is not found could be implemented?

Thank you for help and suggestions!

weitjong · October 28, 2017, 3:47am

I would usually not recommend to use Mesa driver, if your GPU vendor provides a better one.
