How do you get the visualizers to work?

Post by spence.lacy »

How do you get the visualizers to work? I tried all three (that are compatible with Windows). I couldn't get Jmol, xfpd, or FoldinGL to work. I read how to do it on their websites. But it doesn't work!

The visualizer programs are designed to work with the classic client and the smp client but not with the gpu client. The internal method of sending graphics data changed.

Jmol still works, but only with xyz generating core's. If xfpd is the viewer also used in Increase it should still work as well as mac clients don't include the gpu which doesn't generate the needed files.

Btw, John there is a new stats page on http://www.xcpus.com/folding/foldingteamlist.aspx which is I think pretty good and should be listed here? It was only announced as beta, but as there are no bugs or issues I know about, and since it's the quickest stats site I know off atm they get my recommodation for interested donors. ( Though I still use EOC personally ).

Some of the install tools are also aimed at v5 clients, and I'm not sure how they work with the v6 clients?

@spence.lacy: I do not know, I have not tried them sorry :(

@MtM: I'll add that site and check the install tools when I have posted this.

EDIT: @MtM: I removed the two service installers as so far as I can tell all that functionality is built into the clients already.
