When will a new version of pcca come out? backgrounds not loaded. #6

Closed hedergim closed 4 years ago

hedergim commented 4 years ago

When will a new version of pcca come out? I want to see if the new version will be able to load the backgrounds, in your video the backgrounds appear but it doesn't actually run.

pcca-matrix commented 4 years ago

the current beta version loads just fine the background for all others users , you are the only one for the moment to have this problem.

it's on your side that it fail, do you have an existing intstalation of hyperspin with correct main menu , system theme ?

what you see on the presentation video are themes created by the users of hyperspin.fe runing on attract-mode,

this module allows you to use them, pcca layout does not come with any themes or backgrounds.

hedergim commented 4 years ago

You are saying everything I already know,

I'm a Hyperspin theme creator,

I put my Hyperspin themes to run on pcca and the backgrounds that are within the hyperspin .zip themes don't work,

you're saying what i already know.

other friends of mine are testing your project and are having the same problem.

pcca-matrix commented 4 years ago

can you post your attract.cfg

hedergim commented 4 years ago

Your pcca layout cannot run these 2 files that are within the Hyperspin .zip theme:

video and background are 2 artworks that use the glsl shader, what is your GPU ?

otherwise if you are sure you have the right folder structure like hyperspin I don't see what it can cause the issue

hedergim commented 4 years ago

My GPU and integrated notebook, I have already tested it on another PC, my friends have already tested their pcca at their home on his PC, and none can load these 2 files.

The Hyperspin themes that I tested on your pcca work smoothly on my Hyperspin, and work smoothly on my friend's Hyperspin, so it's not a GPU problem.

There is a problem with the file you made available for download on GitHub, copy a new pcca file from your PC and put it on GITHUB again so we can download it again,

this GitHub file has a problem, create a new Upload for Us.

pcca-matrix commented 4 years ago

launch with attract-console.exe and look at the cmd windows if you see some shader compil errors

pcca-matrix commented 4 years ago

OK , i tried now on an older notebook with Geforce 8400Gs and it fail with background and video like your issue cause of glsl shader !!

tried with AMD HD5670 and it fail too

thanks to identify the issue , I will see what i can do

hedergim commented 4 years ago

Thank you for believing in me,

because in your youtube video it appears running the backgrouds?

There was a small mistake in the final moment that you were working on your pc.

because yours in the video already runs the background, for sure you will be able to solve this problem,

when are you going to look? I'm looking forward to using your pcca.

pcca-matrix commented 4 years ago

it's on the way ! stay tuned

hedergim commented 4 years ago

Thank you, As soon as I resolve I will tell all my friends that you have already managed to resolve.

pcca-matrix commented 4 years ago

it should be fixed now , let me know if you encounter any others problems on AMD gpu.

hedergim commented 4 years ago

got worse, now breaks the entire AttractMode.

you missed something.

I already reinstalled AttractMode from scratch, nothing works,

broke everything in AttractMode.

Total Crash in AttractMode, stops working.

Total Black Screen.

pcca-matrix commented 4 years ago

can you please send me the attract-console.exe window content and the exact model of your gpu graphic card

hedergim commented 4 years ago

The "Layout Option" it is not accessible, press the button but do not access.

pcca-matrix commented 4 years ago

don't have older hd4000 gpu on hand, but checked with intel hd4600 and it work , here is a full config working out of box on an hd4600, can you please download and test-it , this is only attract 2.6.1 with pcca layout and correct settings for 2 systems with Hyperspin theme.

i'm waiting a friend with hd4000 laptop to test on.

hedergim commented 4 years ago

unfortunately you made your pcca Layout project worse.

before everything was working only the layouts didn't work, now everything is broken, crashes Windows, Total Crash,

you better go back to the previous version that only Background didn't work,

this new version is totally broken, several friends of mine tested without success, all Crash on Windows, even with the file (1fishier) that you left for donload, all my friends were sadder, you better check the error.

pcca-matrix commented 4 years ago

tested on hd4000 , sorry you cannot run full (40) background transitions.

this script is not really intended to run on older GPU.

it is tested and works perfectly on:

Intel HD 4600, 530 , Radeon hd 5670, RTX 2080 Super, GTX 650, Radeon RX 550, 570 , 580

temporarily , if you want to run it without backgrounds, simply delete the effect.frag file in the shader folder of the pcca layout.

Video frame overlay is now displayed even with an old gpu.

when i have some free time i will make a lightened background transitions shader for the old gpu, but for the moment it is not a priority , 10 year old gpu is no longer a standard.

hedergim commented 4 years ago

So it is much better to leave the old version available for download, because everything was working fine, except the backgrounds,

could you leave the old version for download and create a command line in the programming to load the background from another extra folder?

even carrying a background from another folder would be interesting, as it would be completely perfect running on any GPU, since before me and my friends were running perfectly, only the background was missing,

much better the previous version than this new one, because it doesn't work.

pcca-matrix commented 4 years ago

simply delete the "effect.frag" file in the shader folder of the pcca layout and you disable background transitions like in the "older version"

hedergim commented 4 years ago

please create a schedule to run extra backgrouns directly from another folder, I can remove all the backgrouns from the .zip and play in another folder, so you create a new version to read background from another folder, and not from within the hyerspin zip,

ready, it solves everyone's problem.

hedergim commented 4 years ago

[[[ simply delete the "effect.frag" file in the shader folder of the pcca layout and you disable background transitions like in the "older version" ]]] I did it and went back to working as before,

you can create a command line to run extra backgrounds, I’m not talking about the backgrouns within the Hyperspin .zip themes, run backgrounds from another folder, so I create a folder and place the backgrounds.

hedergim commented 4 years ago

If you do this to pull the backgroound from another folder, it solves everyone's problem.

hedergim commented 4 years ago

I'm getting a (new GPU PC) to test.

Meanwhile...

If you create an alternate version of the pcca layout for older GPUs it would be wonderful,

you would have 2 versions to download, (old GPU pcca) (pcca new GPU)

o (pcca GPU old) the user should create an alternate folder to place all backgrounds, (not .zip), would be wonderful. o (pcca GPU old) would run the background in a traditional alternative way of AttractMode, loading from an extra folder, as AttractMode already does narurally.

pcca-matrix commented 4 years ago

wait some more days and i release a lightened version , so that you will have transitions even on old hardware

hedergim commented 4 years ago

ok, waiting

pcca-matrix commented 4 years ago

Can you please test if it's ok with this shader ? Unzip effect.frag to the shader folder of pcca layout effect.zip

hedergim commented 4 years ago

Congratulations now everything went perfectly, ran the perfect background, so you can now update your GitHub, showing that there are 2 versions, for old PC and for new PC,

I want to open another issue, have a problem with your Wheels roulette, exactly the wheel that is in front of the pointer has a delay, it only leaves the front when the other one arrives in place, then it gets a little ugly, can you fix it? you will notice when you put the transition of the slower wheels, close to 400, I'm waiting.

pcca-matrix commented 4 years ago

Ok , can you please close this issue and open a new one for the wheel delay, with more details on your problem , vertcial or horizontal wheel ? resolution ? Wheel transition time , Wheel fade time ?

hedergim commented 4 years ago

Ok
