Hi Marco,
I am afraid there is no easy way to disable cliptexture emulation.
I will consider adding an environment variable for this purpose in
our next release (pf2.5.1).
For now, you will have to edit your .ct file, by setting VirtualSize
to be equal to ClipSize. This will ensure that no dynamic texture
paging takes place.
You could also attempt to get cliptexture emulation to work by reducing
memory requirements (although this may well not be your problem).
Do this by setting the lookaround parameter to 1 in your .ct file,
and by reducing VirtualSize (and/or ClipSize).
Also: can you at least view your cliptexture data using
'clipfly mycliptex.ct' (on the O2, using cliptex emulation?)?
Thanks for your feedback!
Regards,
Paolo
