You can experiment with PB to see what it works on. Good luck.

I need some help with the XRMod rain effect. I've read many times Red Eye's PB guide, but I can't get it to work. I know it's easier using a particle rain decal, but just want to try: I want to use the "raininzone" command so I can have rain just in some areas (useful for outdoor/indoor transitions). Someone has a working script for this?

I could be wrong but without PB we wouldn't have reached v1.18 of FPSC. So hail to PB even if it remains in v1.17. It's still a beatiful animal.

@JC LEON:

Can you please show us a before and after image of your test map? One without the FS3 (change "screenshaders" to 0) and one with the FS3.

Is it possible to get the latest fix and features sent out before the other fixes? It's just that I havent been able to work on my game, test or build anything for about 2 weeks now due to the damn windows sp1 bug.. >.<

I Lewis, unfortunately I can't for the same reason I said it the email. I'm hoping to have it finished up real soon, I've been working on this pause screen issue but so far I haven't been able to get to the bottom of it.

A couple things:

1. Full screen shaders don't seem to work in builds, only in tests (and that's only with Mod.ini as the v1.17 settings do nothing).

2. Weird collision issues. I have a static platform that I set a crate on and the the crate starts flopping around like it's full of tribbles.

I thought I had a few more, but I'm drawing a blank

Hockeykid, soon, I will have to release my game, but I still haven't made my mind up about which version to use. Original FPSC 1.17, or PB with 1.16 version. The menu does not work in the recent version of PB, so it can't be. Is the PB 1.8a (that you sent me almost a year ago) the most stable, solid, best version to use with 1.16?
Please tell the truth if it is not good enough, we are making a commercial game.

Thank you very much!

It's not just that, its the whole graphics update, the fading in and out of huds, showing and hiding images, all that. everything works but graphically you cant see it happen.

That is correct, the screen simply isn't updating when the game is paused. It's not an easy issue to track down, especially since you can't have streaming debug info on screen (it wouldn't update).

I'm sure hockeykid will find the solution soon enough. Thank you for being patient, guys.

I think I've found another bug: I don't why this happens, so I'm not sure, but when I have fog on and some kind of dynamic entities (it happens with the stalker weapon pack and a character, the civ_rouge by JFletcher) and I turn around the screen becomes black just when I'm looking to a certain direction...

Hi, it's actually taking quite a bit longer than I had expected. That frozen screen bug is not an easy one to debug. Though I am slowly discovering new things about it. After thats out of the way the last one shouldn't take more then a day.

Hopefully it will be completed soon.

I just wanted to report a bug but i'm not sure if it already was mentioned, if you pick up two dual wieldable weapons of the same kind right after another you cannot dualwield them together.
I noticed this bug while toying around with EAI's fantasy weapons, if i picked up an axe and the second axe right after that i could not have one in the right and another in the left hand, but if i picked up another weapon before picking up the second axe it would work. This applied also to the swords, not sure about other weapons.

also: how is that Timeflow command working? Is it working?
because the script in the scriptpack does not seem to work for me, is the command in someway linked to the Shadersystem or did it not work to begin with?

Oh and by the way: thanks for pushing FPSC so far, you, Ply and s4 did a great job on this, keep it up!
greetings, Daniel

@assaam:

Thank you for reporting the dual wielding bug. I don't believe anyone has reported that yet.

As far as I am aware, timeflow should be functional albeit underdeveloped. Please post the script you're using that contains the command. If it's the one I think it is, you should need to push a button to activate it.

Wouldnt it be possible to have a 'beta' release, just so we can continue to work on our games? It's been about a month since the issues were brought up. If the Sp1 and other issues have been fixed apart from the freezing menu, cant we just have a beta release so we can work on our games further until you sort the freezing menu?

It just doesnt seem fair that we have to wait for so long to work on our games when you could release something for the time being so we can at least work via test game.

Okay, here is another Bug: i have no idea why, but if i want to use the variable $EH it shows no effect at all, if i try my script with the variable $PH it works fine, i already have workarounds for this problem, but it is a little annoying if these basic scripting commands which partially have found their way into v118 don't work.

@ply: the Timeflow script uses the R CTRL but nothing happens. Tried the same thing with plrusingaction=1 and still nothing.

Other than that, is there some special trick to weapon scripts that is not mentioned in the tutorial? Because all it does is crashing fpsc as soon as i pick up my weapon. I'm using the GCS Glock, the script in the tutorial as fpi and V117 with PB 1.8 C

Well, thanks for your hard work and have one of these
Daniel

Edit: i have to correct myself, $EH works in one application: setvar=EHE $EH, but if i try to directly change or ask the value via scripting it does not respond.

Okay, good to know... besides that, i know that the maximum cap for custom variables has been removed, but does anybody know how many the system actually can handle without crashing or not working in some other way and is there some effect on stability or performance by using ALOT custom Variables (easily over 200)

thanks in advance, Daniel

I'm beginning to give up hope on this mod, and on Alpha Project.

The updates and service is non existant, and instead of working on fixing things, you just go and add features to your other mods.

What's the point in even having Project Blue if you're not going to support it and shaft the buyers?

I haven't update my mod in weeks . Any updates that you see were done well over a month ago, and all I've done is added them to the "additions" file and announced them as an official feature.

As I have already stated Project Blue is over filled, and the amount of time it is taking me to fix these pesky bugs is a clear display of that.

There are many of us that have had issues and cannot build our final games because of these issues and are patiently waiting for some sort of update. And not to put too fine a point, but you have not exactly been responsive.

Did we waste time and money on something useless? Please consider the fact there are some here that enjoy this mod and features. When we have to wait weeks for some sensible response, you cannot help but feel shafted as a customer because of the service.

So please, could someone provide an estimate to when an update with fixes will be appearing? If not, could someone tell us that there will/will not be an update? I would rather hear it now rather than wait for another few weeks and/or months and try to speculate.

Possible Solution: Find which features are not currently being used, and yank them from the official build?

That or possible find out if you are able to have features externally called for, reducing the compile time in DBP? (i have no clue if this is even possible)

You dont even update us on what's going on though. You let the thread sink down to the second or third page and you only reply when people have a go or bump it. How's that going to look to people who want to buy and use PB?

I'm pretty sure one bug shouldnt take a month+ to fix. And it's not hard to update us once in a while instead of keeping us in the dark and popping up every so often out of nowhere.

Even so that you might be working on it, those who have the W7 SP1 error with the current version of PB cant even TEST their game. I literally havent fired up my FPSC in months because I cant do anything with it. I'd have compiled a version that could at least use to test on.

The freezing menu is something that would effect the built game, so theres nothing stopping you from making a beta or a test only build for those who've been waiting for almost a month now to get some bloody work done, but clearly, that request has been ignored.

That was the point of the issues area on the google code page .

Quote: "I'm pretty sure one bug shouldnt take a month+"

Doing it properly can, I could've slapped a few lines in there without figuring out where the real problem was coming from and fixed the pause menu but in turn screwed up other features. For example I could've easily messed up the camera commands, full screen shaders, and gun cameras with those few lines.

Anyways issue has been fixed, I spent the past 5 hours doing some more further debug and finally found the issue. You should be getting your Project Blue update emails in the next day or two.

I'm declaring it as Project Blue V1.8C Beta 2 as I noticed a few other people had some bugs that they weren't 100% sure on.

If no more issues are posted on the GOOGLE CODE ISSUES LIST (http://code.google.com/p/fpsc-project-blue/issues/list) by April 11th then Project Blue will be finalized.

I also don't understand why people can't develop in vanilla FPSC while waiting for PB to be updated? Is everything that is not PB dependent finished? (it's a simple question, either answer or don't but leave condescending comments elsewhere)

I actually integrated the V118 Dark AI since I knew that Mp53 would be a big deal. So they should work like a charm!

@Hockeykid Was the fullscreen shader bug closed after a fix or was it just closed? I assure you that only after after following the instructions for activating the fullscreen shaders in the mod.ini and failing, I then tried to see if the migration's setup.ini method worked (which I figured was worth a try just in case with obviously no avail on that end as well).

1. Try out the DarkAI and get an entity to use the command to try and move it.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The character remains still and doesnt move.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
