Title: Can not run Hurican in OS4.1 Classic
Post by: JohnFante on October 19, 2012, 05:23:18 PM

I have a CSPPC (233mhz) with 128MB RAM and a CVPPC graphicscard. Runs OS4.1 Classic fine. :-)

Anybody have succes in running Hurrican on a semilar setup?

I get this error when I try to run the latest version:

"4.Work:Hurrican_1.0.0.7> hurrican
Hurrican OS4 disable screenblanking...
Initializing SDL.
SDL initialized.
Failed to 640x480x16 video mode: Failed to create MiniGL context
Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten !
Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten !
Hurrican OS4 enable screenblanking...
4.Work:Hurrican_1.0.0.7>"

Thank you in advance.

it seems very clear to me : you dont have the requested screenmode so I suggest you create the 640x480x16 screenmode with picasso96mode and then it should work !
Amount of RAM might be an issue...

It won`t start :

5.OS41:> avail
Before:         612,470,784
After:         361,881,600

You boot with ~100MB free...

I created the screenmode (640x480@16). Still the same.

Started the program just after a reboot so I as much RAM as I can have.

Shame. Looked like a great game.

The problem doesn't seem to be the screenmode per se, it's the "couldn't create minigl context" that should give a hint. Are you sure you have a full MiniGL (3D) supported graphics card in your system? Radeon 9250, Voodoo whatever? If not, you might try the "Wazp3D" package from Aminet - at least for testing purposes (because it will be unplayable slow with a Blizzard/Cyberstorm based system).

I "only" have a Cybervision so that is properly the culprit.

Well maybe it is time to invest in a Mediator ....
