So it's basically no advantages vs that pretty annoying "disadvantage" (if you can call it like that).

EDIT: Meh, misread your question. Learn how to read please, your question has already been answered Tongue
Is it possible to make it an option that can only be changed in the ini? That seems like it could solve both problems...

Ironically I just readded "Disable Lighting" back into my local copy of the most recent version the other day. I was proving something to myself about how a game I was testing ran, so it happened to be useful.
It's very simple to readd, actually.

tl;dr is that I have no interest in bringing the option back in any way.

I'm sorry for writing lightning instead of lighting, as you might understand I'm no native english speaker.
I understand OSX specific hacks aren't main priority, but I wouldn't hurt to ask about it Smile

Anyways, as I already told, I'm pretty newb with using git.
I've managed to make a local clone and build dolphin, but i have problems how to revert one specific commit.

So far I've done:
git clone https://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/

then i try to revert using
git revert 1dd6b978c1da

but I only get errors.

I guess i could manually add the changes, and make a unified diff to use for further patching of newer revisions, but if there is an easier way I'd love to know how.

"I only get errors" isn't particularly descriptive Smile


RE: Please bring back "Disable Lightning" option - cluthz - 12-20-2012

As i said I'm new to git and these are the errors.
Thanks for helping tho!

dolphin-emu tob$ git revert 1dd6b978c1da
error: 'revert' is not possible because you have unmerged files.
hint: Fix them up in the work tree,

hint: or use 'git commit -a'.
fatal: revert failed


RE: Please bring back "Disable Lightning" option - neobrain - 12-20-2012

You changed some stuff locally. Use a clean tree and run the command again. You can get a clean tree by calling e.g. git reset --hard origin/master


RE: Please bring back "Disable Lightning" option - cluthz - 12-20-2012

I didn't change anything in the the local clone.
With cleaning as you suggested:


dolphin-emu tob$ git reset --hard origin/master
HEAD is now at 0811311 TextureCacheBase: Delete textures completely instead of just invalidating them in ClearRenderTargets.

dolphin-emu tob$ git revert 1dd6b978c1da
error: could not revert 1dd6b97... Remove "Disable Lighting".
hint: after resolving the conflicts, mark the corrected paths
hint: with 'git add <paths>' or 'git rm <paths>'
hint: and commit the result with 'git commit'

I have no idea why it ain't working Sad

And again, thanks for your patience!

You probably ran the "git revert" command twice, and the first one locally modified your working copy Tongue

post the output of "git status"
