this appeared when i tried to change the graphics to higher... i have nvidia  graphic card and  all the others quake engine games work also in my computer.  can somebody tell me how to put default graphic settings in console.

Strange error.

Obviusly can't spawn a correct window mode. Because resolution/bpp whatever.

I notice this:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\opengl32.dll

I have no idea if this is wrong.

..But you can try a idea:
select your opengl dll from your card manufacturer. On Nvidia is nvopengl32.dll or something alike. No idea for ati.
Copy that file on the tremulous folder as opengl32.dll
That way this file will loaded instead the opengl32.dll on the system dir, because is "first" on the PATH.

the others workarounds may work: try other resolution (high or lower) other bpp modes ( with -bpp 32 -bpp 16 or whatever quake3 need).

Maybe you have a no-CRT monitor?

I'm sure it's a very bad idea so backup your dll before.

sorry but i didnt find "nvopengl32.dll" file from nowhere and i have nvidia.
how can i change my resolution when game doesnt run? can i do it in console?

[Loozo]

any possibility that tremulous modders could invent some kind of "safe mode" where settings would always be default(?), it seems that others ppl have the same problem i have(?)

[Loozo]

OH... now tremulous finally works. i had to just reinstall it. The uninstall didnt work properly it erased only half of the files, so i erased them myself.  thanks for your help...

[SFI_incrediblepain]

I have the same problem but it's only when I install the TJW admin patch.

[Radiohead]

Yup I had this same problem for so long. I keep my tremulous installer on my desktop so when I try to experiment, I have backup. It seems the TJW admin thing is the problem. The original tremulous works fine, it's just the tjw  tremulous.exe that has the openGL problem.

[kevlarman]

I suspect this happens because tjw's binary (and the next version of tremulous when it comes out) uses your home folder to store settings, instead of the trem install folder (and it only affects windows because other operating systems did this in the first place). try starting tremulous from the command prompt like this: tremulous.exe +set r_mode 4. you can also open C:\Documents And Settings\<your>\Local Settings\Application Data\Tremulous\base\autogen.cfg and find the line that says "seta r_mode <somenumber>" and change somenumber to 4 (note that at least one of the folders to get there will be hidden).
