I do realize the drawing code (and how I'm getting time, etc) ought to be made more efficient, but it's good enough for now.

http://markhamlin.net/tempfiles/libploverfps_1.zip

Usage: Launch RO using the "plauncher" (cleverly stands for ploverlauncher - i know, who would've guessed). Press ] to increase max-fps, and [ to decrease max-fps. You should see a graphic indicating what the current max(target) fps is.

this is quite nice, just what I have been looking for - but it doesn't compile on my kubuntu 9.10
what gcc version are you using?

You seem to be lacking libgl(-devel), glut (freeglut)(-devel), possibly also mesa(-devel).

Then, start the game like this after you copied the lib into your game dir:

LD_PRELOAD=`pwd`/libploverfps.so ./rolauncher

His launcher does not work

[Plover]

Yeah, my launcher apparently only works on Ubuntu/Debian.

Here's the link again. I just made the change which I previously mentioned, for it to work on the "experimental" client (which is the current client , obviously).

If anyone has something they want added to this just tell me, and I'll throw it in the zip. (Such as a fix to the launcher)

Also, I just changed 1 other line of the code to fix an oscillating fps issue (a non-issue really). It's untested because I don't play the game anymore, so I'd be interested in hearing if it works, so hit me up on irc.

http://markhamlin.net/tempfiles/libploverfps_1.zip

[Plover]

Ok, I fixed my fix and tested it this time (the fix actually made it not work at all). The FPS floats a little high ( on my machine, it gets about 3fps more than it says it should... possibly a timing issue related to the client's multithreading).

I also switched to using includes instead of imports to get rid of the warnings.

Same link to zip as above.

[Gideon_Slack]

The plauncher script doesn't seem to be in the latest zip file available. Could you post the script here if it is not too much trouble?

[Plover]

Here's a version which might work on other distros... ?

#!/bin/sh
cd `dirname ${0}`
export LD_PRELOAD=`pwd`/libploverfps.so
./rolauncher

Basically, all it has to do is set the LD_PRELOAD env var to be libploverfps.so. Points where this could fail is if you use a relative path, since rolauncher changes the pwd when you press enter game world. I'm pretty noob at linuxy stuff, so if people write better launchers feel free to post them.

OK, that is very straight forward.

When I can get on Linux, I will probably do something like this:

In .bashrc (in home directory):

export REGNUM_DIR=~/regnum

And then as a shell script:

#!/bin/sh
cd $REGNUM_DIR
export LD_PRELOAD=$REGNUM_DIR/libploverfps.so
./rolauncher

[Znurre]

Why export LD_PRELOAD?
Better use:

#/bin/bash
cd $REGNUM_DIR
LD_PRELOAD=$REGNUM_DIR/libploverfps.so ./rolauncher

That works great for me in Arch Linux.

LD_PRELOAD=$REGNUM_DIR/libploverfps.so ./rolauncher

That works great for me in Arch Linux.

I wasn't sure if the "game" process which rolauncher spawns would still have that var set. If you say it works, then great

The environment is inherited by all subprocesses, so unless something in rolauncher causes LD_PRELOAD to be unset (and using export won't do a damned thing about this), anything it launches will keep it.
