Thx so much.

I tried to rebuild an exe even more safe : http://maratis3d.com/download/Maratis3. … in32-3.zip

Its just my mesh, with physics enabled for player walk, all taken from sponzaFPS example.

It should work with no-texture, I just found that the bug only happen when there is no texture,
that is (maybe) why sponza mesh was working.

I send a complete package later.

If this is just a 'no texture' issue, Im happy to texture the mesh, but I thought I'd seen tutorials a few of vegas tuts that ( door demo) that had none, so I guess we should be consistent if so; but Im willing to do whatever is best.

When running the new 'fix' exe, I get this:

---------------------------
Maratis.exe - Entry Point Not Found
---------------------------
The procedure entry point ?createDirectory@@YA_NPBD_N@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library MCore.dll.
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

Sorry I wish  I could say it worked  of course.

I think it was not what I taught, but just a fixed-renderer bug happening sometimes if the mesh has no textures.

I tried: top view>B (and grab half of mesh down the middle), press 'P' > "selection", but on export and import into maratis editor, and then pressing pacman, I still get a crash.

..beyond that all I could do would be to compile current beta3.1 maratis and then run maratis in debug mode in VS, and see if I can see anything helpful.

Gm EXTRaordinaire <wink>

I'll continue looking on the GL_MAX_ELEMENTS_INDICES,
the funny thing is that I have windows installed on mac laptop,
and where it doesn't crash on macosx, it crashed on windows, so at least I can replicate the bug.

I'll let you know if I found a fix, tell me if splitting the mes works.

For now yes, I shall split mesh up and see how that goes.

One thing to note, my hardware is all recent,,,everything is new except for cdrom drive, and my GL driver is new, albeit my GPU of course is 'slightly' old but still in solid mainstream use Im pretty sure. It's a solid card and still allows me to play current games on the market , often at max settings.

Thx for looking into all of this Anael )

There is apparently a limit of triangles that can be send and that can be different depending on the driver, machine or opengl version (didn't know about it) : GL_MAX_ELEMENTS_INDICES

I'll see if I can modify the code to take this in account and split the rendering if needed.

In the meanwhile, what you can do to make it work is to split your model in multiple parts so each part don't exceed 64 000 triangles (a possible 16bit limitation on old hardware or old drivers).

thx
