Hi Guys,

Just to say, firstly sorry, I've not been too active here the last few weeks, but real life work is keeping me pretty busy.

Secondly, to assure you, that progress is being made on fixing the last few issues. Thanks to S4real, this has gone faster than it would have done, as many hands make light work and all that.

Some of you have been asking for a list of confirmed bugs, so here goes.

AI's can shoot through dynamics objects - identified and ungoing final testing.

AI's can walk through closed and boxes doors. - Indentified, most likely fixed, still testing.

Multiplayer end game not reporting correctly - Being investigated.

Some collision issues with certain custom media - fixed.

Engine not running at all on some machines - identified and fixed.

Performance drop with latest build - Fixed.

A reported issue with FPSCRAWTEXT causing fps drop - investigating, not fully confirmed.

These are the only remaing bugs to date that I'm aware of. We are still working to ensure that everything is dealt with, please bare with us as both S4 and I do this in our spare time.

Thanks,

SC.

It does drop the fps. I created another command to "print" text on the screen and it also drops my fps (starts at 70+ and drops to 32) when I activate the text to be shown; returns to normal when the text is disabled.

While we're on the topic of FPSCRAWTEXT, I'd like to present another issue with it. As I explained to s4real yesterday, if you have a hud showing and also use FPSCRAWTEXT, the text always remains behind the hud. When we define huds, you have to define them in the script in the proper order so a hud called does not appear "behind" another one. In other words, if I want a hud to appear "on top", it has to be defined in my script after the hud I want it to appear over. A good example is the menu page displayed when you press ESC- the pointer appears "over" the "Load Game", "Save Game" buttons because the pointer is defined after the other button images.

I'd like to see the ability for FPSCRAWTEXT to be able to be displayed over a hud. Even with the "print" text command I made it too always shows "behind" a hud. I have an inventory system almost 100% using just mouse and huds, and I'd like the ability to have the text showing "over" the item hud shown.


There's no problem that can't be solved without applying a little scripting.

@Scene Commander

If this list of bugs is fixed for V120 final it will be an excellent build to dedvelop a game before FPSCR is ready.

- AI's can shoot through dynamics objects
- AI's can walk through closed and boxes doors
- Multiplayer end game not reporting correctly
- Some collision issues with certain custom media
- Engine not running at all on some machines
- Performance drop with latest build
- A reported issue with FPSCRAWTEXT causing fps drop

Are you going to be releasing more beta's for V120 or is the next version expected to be final?

I think the commands "hide" and "show" are not working. These are commands to hide and show an entity. The commands need to be within the entity's main AI. If someone could confirm this.

Here's a script for anyone who wants to try it out. I'll upload an fpm file a little later. Place script in main AI of entity. It needs to be dynamic. Use the enter key to first hide the object (which it will not disappear or hide). Pressing the enter key again will show the object. I had to fix my hide and show rpg commands as well. They work now but not the unmodified command.

The condition command, "plrnotzoomed" does not work. The reason being is that the line within the code, "conword$(AICONDNOTZOOMED)="plrnotzoomed" is not present.

I'm not sure what code you're looking at, but it's certainly in my source. Unless I've misunderstood your post - of course, if there is a problem, I'll happily look into it.

@All

S4 and I have found some time today to sit down and go through this list of bugs together and we're making good progress. I'll keep you all informed, but it's coming together.

Well, well, I don't know how it got deleted from the source I am using but it did. I too a look at the source from r767 and yes, it's there. I'll bow out of this thread gracefully and not return. Sorry.

I stopped using FPSC because it did not want to accept custom content anymore (not related)

This update is shaping up to be something solid, might have to see if custom content will want to work again or if I should wait for reloaded.

Again, this is going to be another solid update. Good work guys!

Not sue why it wouldn't I have loads of custom stuff and works fine.

A few rules is that fpsc does not see spaces when naming stuff.

example :- house a would not work but housea will or house_a

Also there seems to be a problem with decalmax setting this too high can crassh fpsc.

@Tax 78 :- If you can upload the script I will have a look at it but I think the air system has changed a bit in the latest versions.

We need the whole pack to try the script
here download : http://tax78.altervista.org/pagina-796663.html

I solved the crash:
I noticed the change of currentweapon to plrcurrentweapon

But it does not change with your hands when entering water

The script in question is: Air system no weapon hand.fpi

Repeat script running in version 1.19

I was using 1.20.06 and updated to 1.20.16. After the update I noticed quite a huge drop in FrameRate. Anyone else experiencing this?

That's OK. I went ahead and integrated so I'll let you know if I have any problems. I can easily go back to the previous build.

So far I am not experiencing any problems but I'm not doing any "heavy" testing of the specific areas of code you have changed.

I just tried that per your suggestion. I was hoping this would work. It made sense in a way. However, it didn't work. Then I was thinking, "OK what happens when I save the game? What position of the script is being saved?" Well, it's the last position or state. So I looked at the script.

:state=0:animate=1
:state=0:state=1

What is saved is that the last position or state is "1". There is no "1" and therfore the animation will not be executed. Therefore, I just deleted the second line.

Boy I wish I was thinking more clearly about this at the time.

Any scripts that have a similar layout where animation is called and the next line called does not exist will not play animations on the save/load. We have modified all our scripts so that animations will play when save/load is called. This has been this way since way before v1.17.

Hi All,

Beta 17 is now up and fixes a number of issues. You should see an improvement in AI path finding, culling stability and various other odds and ends including the end to the issue requiring the last few builds to need additional dll's on some machines. A special thanks to S4real for all his work helping me to get this out the door as without his efforts I was struggling for free time.

As a side note, performance hasn't dropped, but should now remain fairly constant and is tied into your moniter refresh rate again. This capping improves overal stability across all machines.

As always, please post any issues, including an FPM if one is required.

Thanks,

SC

Yes the file seems to be broken or incomplete. Content are 166,058,677mb Packed should be 165,990,929. File download size is 27,627mb. Seems a bit small for a full update.

Also Thanks S4Real and Scene Commander for making this possible.
