Color scheme changes

[Thunderbird]

To give you an idea, This is my casual screen range of colours: 

 

This is pretty much how it appears when the game is launched. As you can see there is like a shade of blue setting in the whole screen, probably because it's required, in order to see the game well:

 

And this is when I click away from the in-game window, the main "task" at that moment is Quicktime player there. The screen goes back to its normal range of colours:

 

 

My problem is that I cannot record the gameplay with the colours being displayed like in the second picture. It always records with the casual screen range of colours. The dark screen if you want. In fact, it seems like playing the game makes my whole screen set itself in a different colour display. Is it OpenGL related?

 

PS: I photoshopped the 2nd picture since I cannot screenshot with that group of colours either. But it's pretty much what it looks like.

[ensiform]

Play with r_gamma 1 instead maybe.

[Thunderbird]

The r_gamma does not change anything as the game window would remain dark, even in recording. I tried to fiddle withvthe Video Editor brightness and all, but the quality of video becomes very bad if I try to make it less dark.

This is unique to the Mac versions of JK2 and JKA. OpenJK fixes the issue, however.

 

Perhaps @@redsaurus or @@Xycaleth can elaborate more.

I can never launch OpenJK when I install it. Even after reading through this. It crashes instantly, I can launch the game via the .app or via JKJALaunch though (for JKA).

Put the openjk apps in this directory:

 

/Users/USER/Library/Containers/com.aspyr.jediacademy.appstore/Data/Library/Application Support

Your main base folder should be there as well. It gets messy if you're messing with the inside of the actual JKA app.

 

EDIT: I see that you are using that directory...my bad. Are you sure you have the right SDL version and installed it correctly?

[ensiform]

Looks like you need SDL installed properly. @@redsaurus

[Circa]

Make sure it's installed in ~/Library/Frameworks and not /Users/USER/Library/Frameworks

 

Also make sure you downloaded the SDL Mac version (DMG file) of 2.0.4 and that you downloaded the most recent version of OpenJK at http://builds.openjk.org

[Thunderbird]

@@Circa @@ensiform SDL 2.0.4 DMG file is downloaded and I copied the SDL2.framework in the right directory, next to some other frameworks (It even asked me my computer password to accept the move). Then got the latest Mac version of OpenJK, then copied the 2 files OpenJK and OpenJK SP on the folder that contains base folder, (so next to base folder), from that long 'Containers' directory.

 

I just tried that again, but I still have the same issue. It has to be noted that also have japlus folder next to base. Bug report shows no difference from the one I posted before.

 

I find it curious that the report shows the OpenGL Framework directory instead of SDL2.

Well, the one you posted shows SDL 2.0.0 so I'd hope the new one shows 2.0.4.

 

I just updated my OpenJK with the latest build and it works fine for me. Hmm. Strange. I'm trying to remember all the things I've run into like this in the past. The main difference I can see at first is that you're running OS X 10.9, whereas I'm on 10.11.

 

Add me on Skype or Discord or Steam and maybe I can help you better. (info in my profile)

[ensiform]

Because it can't find SDL.

[Circa]

Topic moved to Jedi Knight Tech Support.

 

If he installed it correctly, it should be able to find it though. 

[Thunderbird]

Well, the one you posted shows SDL 2.0.0 so I'd hope the new one shows 2.0.4.

 

It's a very good point you're making here. I downloaded the one that's called SDL2-2.0.4.dmg on the website however, I just tried it again, it says still:

 

Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/sdl2/lib/libSDL2-2.0.0.dylib

 

I assume I had the wrong version without realising it. That's probably the reason why it's not working. Where would I get the actual 2.0.4 one?

What happens if you go to Finder, click Go, Go to Folder and paste this in and press enter:

 

/usr/local/opt/sdl2/lib/

 

Is libSDL2-2.0.0.dylib there?

Just remembered. You need Homebrew.

 

Follow this:

 

http://brew.sh

 

Then in Terminal:

 

brew install sdl2

 

If it says its installed but not linked, type this:

 

 

brew link sdl2

I should put that in that tutorial...

I used both Quicktime and OBS. So both external software to the game.

 

The only moment when I get the right colours (Like in the second picture), is when game is running and as main task. Every time, I run the game, There's the blue shade that appears across the screen. I can't seem to get that necessary blue shade in the recording. Not even in screenshot I can, as the 2nd picture is just photoshopped.

 

Although that display changes, the display profile that's under Preferences > Display, remains unchanged.

So even when you open QT and begin recording and then switch back to the game, it doesn't change? Or it changes but QT isn't capturing it?

 

I just tested basically what you're doing and it works fine for me. Or it appears to.

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Es6tZSRWsRg

 

Although I do remember having that issue even on OpenJK a couple years ago. Perhaps it was fixed on an OS level? You're running an older version of OS X, which might be why. But I'm really not sure at all.

That's it, neither QT or OBS seem to capture the blue shade. This modified video will show you how it looks during recording (Don't pay too much attention bout quality, I lowered it on purpose here) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkmiCcn1QEQ

 

Obviously, that blue shade I added in the video does not reflect the perfect quality of that during the recording. I even did the internal /screenshot and pictures come in 'dark version' such as this one:

 

 

What is surprising is that because my whole screen get that shade, when I click on a picture to open it and then get back to the game the picture obviously looks just as perfect as the game, but only to go darker again when quitting the game.

 

I, therefore just started to realise: If playing the game changes the display, there is no way any program can capture the change, unless I get a video editing software with precise Colour Edition or something. Could be graphic issue, I don't know.
