Any idea why I can't get Stonesense to work in OpenGL mode on my machine? DirectX works fine though?

I'm using Lazy Newb Pack [0.31.12] [V4.2], Windows 7 64bit, ATI 4890 GPU + 10.7 drivers. I'd think OpenGL wouldn't be a problem for this setup?

openGL is sometimes weird in Win7, that's all I can say.

The problem with OpenGL and Windows 7 is that Microsoft hates everything except DirectX (which they own). While companies that supply graphics cards are pretty much required to have high quality DirectX drivers if they want Microsoft to give them any love, OpenGL gets left in the cold because they can't make money off it. So it's a significantly lower priority for drivers than DirectX, and gets polished only after all other problems are solved.

Apologizes ahead of time for my stupid questions.

Hi I'm Bookdust, I'm new. I've been playing DF for a couple of days and I'm starting to get the hang of it. I found Stonesense while poking around the Wiki and thought it might come in handy. Only problem is I don't know how to install it. I'd be grateful for any help you could provide me in making it work.

Thank you ahead of time and again sorry for being a stupid newb.

extract it to any folder, and update the memory.xml file to support the new DF. look through the last few pages of this thread to find the new one.

You can always use lazy newb pack. Everything was already done for player - just download and uncompress.

I'm getting a weird error "Cannot Load Image: stonesense.png". I can clearly see stonesense.png below the executable. Already tried admin mode and compatibility modes.

I'm getting a weird error "Cannot Load Image: stonesense.png". I can clearly see stonesense.png below the executable. Already tried admin mode and compatibility modes.

I am getting the same error msg using windows 7 32 bit Radeon HD4670. Updated drivers, etc no go. Also tried admin and compatibility. I changed to DIRECTX in init file, which allows it to load but it sits at "connecting to DF" screen and does nothing, same for software mode. up until most recent DF/Stonesense release worked just fine with same setup.

So...I don't believe I've seen this addressed: are there any plans for Mac compatibility?  I love how this is looking and I think it's a great idea.  I also really want to help out with spriting.  But all that's sort of moot if I can't even run the program.

Dang.  I'm rubbish at coding, I'd only be of use in an art-related capacity.
I suppose this is another good reason to get Bootcamp up and running on my machine :p

I read through the several first pages and last pages...can you play DF through this fully yet? Sorry if that's been asked 100 times. :/

nope, it's a viewer only. And it's been asked on this page, no less.
