[Not a bug] Error while initialising data in ResourceScope::GLOBAL

[tomreyn]

Hi,

I've migrated all my data to another computer (with different hardware) and am now having trouble starting GAE:

tomreyn@mybox:~/SCM/glestae$ ./build/source/game/glestadv
[/home/tomreyn/.glestae] is in the search path.
[/home/tomreyn/SCM/glestae/data/game] is in the search path.
config-dir: /home/tomreyn/.glestae
data-dir: /home/tomreyn/SCM/glestae/data/game

Exception: An error occurred loading core data.
Please see glestadv-error.log
tomreyn@mybox:~/SCM/glestae$

Glest Advanced Engine: Program log file.

Any idea what may be wrong?

While I don't think it's this (build is clean), I'm not sure I have all requirements satisfied. Can you remind me to what they are / where to read up on them?

Thanks,

Tom

Try run cmake if you haven't already. Also see if there is glestadv-error.log file. Maybe the graphics drivers aren't working.

GL balked while were copying (or attempting to) texture data to it... unsure why, but I've replaced that not so informative error message with a much nicer one, so if you are on the widget branch, could you pull the latest changes and try again, if just for a more informative error message?

I noticed your MG topic (having the same issue) in the info their error message supplied I did notice the texture dimensions were 750x750... not powers of two... might be an issue with those drivers?

Anyway, try the latest and see what it says, should provide more info, I'm asking through glu what that error number MG reported means, so it should be a little nicer

This was obviously an issue with my video drivers, sorry. I since upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 (beta2 by now) and things look much more stable here now with this ATI RV560 GPU I have here.
