PD.: I have seen the engine demo...It looks great..
I have watching the log, I see that you are developing with lua scripts and opengl,
so... there can be a BS2.5 for linux??

thx...

Hmm... what are your system specs?

DISPLAY_MODE_CHANGE_FAILED

You may try to set your display to 800x600 32bit before you start the game because this is what the program is using...

Yes, we're trying to keep the code platform-independent so it can be ported to other operating systems rather easily.

I can't configure the screen to 32 bit

I put it on 24 bits and still don't work..

is it needed 32 bits color display to run the game?

Post by **Daniel Queteschiner** » 19. January 2007, 12:18

Due to the internal settings of the demo 32 bits are needed. This may be configureable in the final game (not too sure about it though).
What monitor do you have? I've never come across a monitor that can only do 24 bit colors. Most screens can either run in 16 bit or 32 bit mode...

I've got a COMPAQ MV740, it's about the monitor? because I don't have a video card, I have a chipset (GPU) with support to 64mb
...

edit:
I think it's not the monitor, i think i have to update my video controllers....

Post by **Daniel Queteschiner** » 19. January 2007, 16:01

No, no, the monitor should be fine. What's your graphics chipset? And yes, try updating the drivers...

zerolink · Post by **zerolink** » 19. January 2007, 16:32

Intel 82810E GMCH - Graphics Controller

thats the chipset....

Post by **Daniel Queteschiner** » 19. January 2007, 16:45

Hmm, if I remember correctly this chip can't do 32 bit color depth at all...

I can just generally recommend to stay away from integrated graphics solution if you want to play any games on your computer...

yes..I'm seeing to buy a video card, but my motherboard is little old, it don't have APG slots, so I'm seeing to change my motherboard, or just buy a card for PCI slot...but the problem is the money :P

well...thankyou for answer...

PD.: i have a doubt, why can i run engine demo in 24 bits?, I mean the scene in the bar..

The engine demo is running in 16 bit mode
