Strange FPS boost after restart of the fraphic engine

[Herr W]

Hi everyone!

Today I come with a strange effect which seems to have something to do with texture details, but no idea what. - And, as I wrote, only on ioQuake3, not the id-version.

When I run the engine and load my map (right, a tooney Monkeys-of-Doom one) it starts with a low FPS-count (on my computer around 25). - I think the reason for this is the environment stage of the cartoon shaders, looking like this:

Code: Select all

	
	{
		map textures/13island/shade.tga
		blendfunc filter
		rgbGen identity
		tcGen environment 
		}

(It creates a dynamic shadow, changing it's position when the player moves)

So far, so not surprising... Now comes the strange part: When I go into the settings, pull the "Texture Detail" slider (no matter into which direction!) and return to the map, it runs with around 200 FPS! - But without any loss of graphic quality as all detailed, no-toon textures have a "nomipmaps" in their shaders!

... And that makes me feel a little like this: this: and this:

Weird bug. What happens if you start the game with '+set r_vertexlight 1 +devmap yourmap'?

[Herr W]

Vertexlight seems not to work with the cartoon-effect. It makes the map look all black:


... instead of:



But there IS a difference: When I run the map as you suggested (+set r_vertexlight 1), it reaches 200 fps immediately. When I start it with '+set r_vertexlight 0' we have the old situation: It runs with around 20 fps. - Until I move the "Texture Detail" slider... I mean, it's good to know that the engine is capable of running a pretty complex map such fast, but it would be even better if it doesn't need a trick for that...

[^misantropia^]

r_vertexligt 0 and not having the issue means is not a general engine bug, but something in the shader processing. You might want to file a bug report with ioquake3: http://bugzilla.icculus.org/

[Herr W]

I will! - Thanks for the tip!

BTW: I can't read much out of it, but maybe someone else. - This is the log-file (starting Q3, starting a server with the map, going into the settings and changing texture detail, returning to the map), with - in my opinion - probably relevant parts in red:

... The only difference I can see is the "picmip 3" line, which doesn't seem to be the reason for the fps-boost, as the opposite change (from "picmip 3" to "picmip 0") causes the same result.

Hm...

[Herr W]

Thanks to sst13 it appears much more concrete what could cause the bug described above and what not:

Any change in the Grafic Settings ("Texture Quality", "Texture Filter" etc.) results in a performance boost, i.e. a restart of the engine makes it run much faster in general!

- That doesn't solve the problem, but is a good hint I think...
