Display Settings beyond the menu possible?
Display Settings beyond the menu possible?
Hi! I just installed Ubuntu on my Amilo Powerbook and finally got it to support at least a bit of 3D, Unfortunately texturing is indiscussable. It's simply too slow.
I experimented a bit with all the other settings, but sometimes couldn't see a big difference or couldn't notice a speed improvemend or degradation.
Unfortunately everything looks a bit ugly. A bit 1994 or so
My question: Is there anything I can do to change for example the color of the walls or something I can do to enhance the appearance of the tanks a bit? Currently it's sometimes impossible to see the direction a tank looks in because of the poor display.
Any hint is much appreciated.

You can change the texture images to your heart's content. All you have to do is replace the given texture file with a new file of the same name. I did this with the purple tanks, because I'd confuse them with rogues on radarless maps. Basically, I opened the image in the GIMP, and made the purple a more intense color. This works for walls and grass too.
If you installed from the package manager, the files are in /usr/share/bzflag/ If you compiled it bzflag yourself, it's in /usr/local/share/bzflag/ (this might be different depending upon your distribution)
One gotcha that you will encounter is that the images will most likely be written over when you update bzflag. Keep a copy of each texture that you change in your /home directory and copy the files over after each update.

configure still says
but looking into /usr/include/GL reveals a gl.h
What am I missing here?
Code: Select all
checking for SDL_image library... no
configure: WARNING: Client build has been requested, but GL is not fully available (missing gl.h)
... disabling client generation

I've found a driver for your chipset, but it's a windows binary. You can find it Here. I haven't found any linux drivers yet.
