3-D video problems in Valve Hammer Editor

Asked by andybond13

Hello,

I'm using Ubuntu 8.10.

I have an ATI video card, and I am using the "ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX video driver."

I've been having issues with video quality, specifically blinking/flickering, in general. When I used the two more graphically inclined system appearance options, my VLC player would flicker. I fixed this by adding ' Option "TexturedVideo" "on" ' to my etc/X11/xorg.conf and changing the VLC video model to X11. It now works in all graphics modes.

I am using Valve Hammer Editor (a Counterstrike map editor) via Wine and I can't get the 3-D video view to work right, or at all. It is supposed to be a camera view that I can move around to view the map as if I were playing in it, but now, it is either all black and frozen, or with unintelligable stuff and frozen. The program itself works fine otherwise.

Any ideas?

Is there a way to change the Wine / Valve Hammer Editor output model to X11 - if that would solve it? I haven't found a way so far...

Hi :0

Do you have native ati drivers installed through System-Hardware devices and the gsrteamer tweak for ati done too already?

In a terminal console type

gstreamer-properties

click on the Video tab and make sure the "Output" is set to "...(no Xv)". also it might be worth turning off all desktop effects through the "Appearances" submenu. if all this has already been done then all i can suggest is trying the Wine website, the main Ubuntu website also has a forum like this one and of course google can be helpful at times too

From the sounds of it you have already done all this so please post the answer back into here if you get a good ansewr from elsewhere. Ubuntu and linux generally needs to get a lot better at games and we need all the help we can get in these forums

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Please post it as a new question. Only the most recent questions tend to get looked at so posting/reposting a question just before america arrives online gives the best chance of getting a good few answers.

Good luck and many regards from
Tom :)
