[(p) fixed] Some potential issues in reset to default (3.5.0b2)

[workarounder]

The first potential issue is setting 'DepthBits' to 32 on linux version. In this case game just does not start.

Default glest.ini

Problem can be solved by setting 'DepthBits' to 24 or 16 manually.
The second potential issue is setting 'PhotoMode' to 'true'. It happens both for win32 and linux-x86 versions. This value not only enable the photo mode in game by default, but it also allow to use unlimited zooming (i.e. you can zoom to underground). However photo mode works just fine by pressing F8 (with 'PhotoMode=false').

p.s. does it normal that configurator by default sets 'UserData_Root' to null instead of '$HOME/.megaglest' or '%appdata%/megaglest'?

[ultifd]

Hmm...I think this bug was fixed already. Do you think you could build SVN HEAD and try again, please? Thanks.
https://docs.megaglest.org/MG%2FLinux_Compiling

[tomreyn]

The configurator will no longer edit glest.ini, a file which is not supposed to be changed (and whose settings are overwritten by those found in glestuser.ini), but edit glestuser.ini, the file which is supposed to be edited as needed. This was wrong so far until and including 3.5.0 beta2, and has only recently been fixed in the subversion repository.

[workarounder]

SVN 2110 still have issue with 'DepthBits=32' on my native 1366x768 resolution.

But now it writes default settings to glestuser.ini.

SVN 2110 still have issue with 'DepthBits=32' on my native 1366x768 resolution.

You're probably trying to use a value your video card can't handle. Most video cards provide either 16 or 24 bits of depth buffers. I'd suggest you start with the default values (restore glest.ini from the distribution / svn revert it, then rename/delete glestuser.ini and just run the game).

[softcoder]

Try svn now, I added some fallback logic to try other bits and resolutions if the selected one fails

[workarounder]

You're probably trying to use a value your video card can't handle. Most video cards provide either 16 or 24 bits of depth buffers.

I understand. I does not mean, that this problem caused by the game itself. The only cause of this trouble is the 'Default' button in the megaglest_configurator.

This problem appears only when I tried to reset config to default by megaglest_configurator, which writes 'DepthBits=32' into glestuser.ini. Maybe it value exactly should be 16 or 24?

win32 configurator does not provoke something like this, but It can be found in the linux version.

[tomreyn]

Thanks for pointing this out. The new configurator default for DepthBits is now 16 bit. Some other values were also modified for increased compatibility.
