Nice to see that someone is taking the old source and try to get it ready now, and also knows how to give the right credit ;D

So I wish you all luck you can get with it and will also look into this from time to time.

Hello Dark Goblin, TZK said that you might know how to fix this error : "invalid cube map size, must be greater than 0". Me and some more people are getting this error. Error is appearing when I am trying to test the game.
Thanks and have a nice day

@stalker

I can't even get it to compile yet. Yes, all of matrix is plugged in; at least I think all the utils are (1-33). I also think I have all the includes; but then, maybe not.

@anybody

It crashes at "Set_Object_Render." Compiler doesn't know what this is. It kind of looks like it might be a function. If it is then which include am I missing?

The includes were as follows:

include1=Advanced Lighting.dba
include2=cranox_deferred_addons.dba
include3=cranox_deferred_init.dba
include4=cranox_deferred_update.dba
include5=cranox_init.dba
include6=cranox_lod.dba

Mind you I working on the original source release, not the latest one here. There is no function defined for Set_Object_Render in the FPSC-Game.dba file, but there is one defined in the Advanced Lighting.dba file. Perhaps that is the one you are missing?

the problem with the cubemap size might be because you have no size set in the setup.ini. I thought I added all settings into it!

The whole loading routine should be inside the "cranox_deferred_init.dba"
if its the version I think of.

Quote: "the problem with the cubemap size might be because you have no size set in the setup.ini. I thought I added all settings into it!"

I don't get the problem in a built game, only in test game, since FPSC erases custom settings in the setup.ini when the game is tested, I guess I'll have to redirect CorVus' settings to a corvus_setup.ini so the stuff won't be erased, and everybody, the FPSC-MapEditor.exe included is no longer required, which is why it isn't in the latest SVN revision.

Quote: "and also knows how to give the right credit ;D"



@Flatlander
I have no idea then, it compiles perfect on my end. Try making a new folder, downloading the latest revision and then compiling it. Don't forget to run the iconfixer after it has compiled to repair the quality of the icon.
If all else fails or you don't want to use the included FPSC-Game.dbpro, add these lines to the start of FPSC-Game.dba:
Quote: "
#include "Include/Advanced Lighting.dba"
#include "Include/cranox_deferred_addons.dba"
#include "Include/cranox_deferred_init.dba"
#include "Include/cranox_deferred_update.dba"
#include "Include/cranox_init.dba"
#include "Include/cranox_lod.dba"
"


There won't be any updates until later as I am away from my main PC.

Yup, I forgot the Advanced Lighting.dba. Compiles OK now.

Also, kudos to The Zombie Killer for trying to revitalize Corvus and to Dark Goblin and others for allowing the source code to go public.

That's right but you could open the file, than click test game, switch back to the setup.ini and hit Ctrl+S through the whole build until lighting and it will work.

The whole settings should be stored in an other file rather than the setup.ini. but I never thought about that the time I did corvus. But just because of this topic here and the interest in this I start to think about starting work on fpsc again and redo lr mod. But I need to get some time for it, as I'm working half the day. We will see, but continue to ask it there is something. Dg

That would be great and I am hoping that you will start again with LR mod. Take your time but just start work again on it

Nah, I'll let you get to work on LRMod, I'll just keep what CorVus currently is for now, I'm updating it to r584 AND removing the debug data in a minute if anyone wants to know.
I'm just glad that you have LRMod in development again!

EDIT: Code updated to FPSC r584

Found an interesting thing: i've tried to delete the Cube0.dds texture from the Media folder, and guess what? Well it loads up without any kind of error...of course there's no skybox and many things look buggy, but above all it works!...could it be a problem with that texture? Maybe it needs to be different..or there's any command for the setup.ini which controls the cube map size? Which is its values range?..I've tried something like "cubemapsize=x" but obviously it didn't worked

@Stalker93,
Make sure you build the game with the normal FPSC-Game.exe, the mod files get installed into the BUILT game, not test game (FPSC), if it isn't working then, make sure you ran the firsttimesetup file, that adds required values to setup.ini, the cubemap bug will be fixed soon, and the reason that there is no sky is because it is disabled in your setup.ini, because test game removes all custom functions from setup.ini. If it still doesn't work after all of this, then I have no idea, I got my friend to build the ww2.fpm file for me (since I have FPSC free, yes I know, I'm buying it soon) and the mod worked fine, of course it lagged though because I have a very low-spec pc
Good luck on getting it to work.

Not yet, I am not working on CorVus at the moment as I am away from the PC that I have DBPRO on, and this computer would probably crash if I tried to compile FPSC on it. I'll be updating soon though.

EDIT: Okay, there is SOME news: thanks to me porting this, Xploid mod is being ported to 119 too now

So are you going to be combining them or are they going to be separate mods?

I have the developer's preview and it works really well! Just install DirectX. Here's a link: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/DirectX-9.0c-Redistributable.shtml
If you don't, then you will get an error message saying you need DirectX 10.

Of course the mod works, I ported it to v119 and removed the un-needed code and debug data. As for bugs, it still has all of CorVus' original bugs, but the character bug can be fixed, set it's appear script to appearnogravity.fpi. But for weapons, I will have to ask the creator of Xploid mod (Kill3r7) how he did it.

No, test game still doesn't work. I know the solution, but can't seem to get it to work, but you CAN get it to work by deleting the Cube0.dds from CorVus' files.

Clearly, this mod is the most important prospect for FPSC right now.

There is so much work being put into the official updates which is great but if the same team of people got together to fix the bugs in this mod it would be a far greater step forward.

I thank you for porting it to V1.19 but if the enemy, weapon and test game bugs which have existed since the original mod are not resolved it will be worth little.

Its a shame the Corvus demos still look way better than anything capable in the offical version after all this time.

Get together with Dark Goblin and Hockeykid and take this to the next level.

Not really, the main issue with FPSC at the moment is performance, but graphics is an important part.

No problem.

Quote: "but if the enemy, weapon and test game bugs which have existed since the original mod are not resolved it will be worth little"

Agreed.

Quote: "Get together with Dark Goblin and Hockeykid and take this to the next level."

I don't know about DG, but I doubt Hockeykid would help work on this. He is currently busy on Project Apex, even then, if he wasn't, I heavily doubt he would.

Agreed but I feel any further serious development work with FPSC should be given to something like Corvus mod which is trying to deliver fundamentally better ways of doing things.

I've not tried v119 as I'm working on mobile game development at the moment but it seems a lot of people are not happy with it.

If Corvus mods weapon and enemy issues were fixed it would provide a much more interesting engine to work with instead of another huge list of scripting commands which nobody uses or cares about.
