@Scene Commander
Don't worry. I figured out what was wrong. I was using the "I" key to test my level, and I pressed it as soon as I entered the trigger zone which spawns enemies. If I don't press I, it works!

@Ched80 and others

The internal variables don't seem to be able to be assigned to 'huduservar='; it results in FPSC-game crashing, and thus the whole program crashing too.

They do work. Make sure you define your variable before you define your HUD. If you define the HUD before your variable FPSC will crash.

Got two problems with r524 - all segments seem to be pitch black - static and dynamic lights have no effect. Dynamic entities are lit up, but the segments seem unaffected by light.

Second problem is a bit more odd. Made a simple 4x2 room and placed a start arrow in the middle, but i start the level way off to the side of the room in the middle of nowhere. As shown below:

Weirder still is the fact that when I went to look at the source to see if I could address this problem, all of my T341 characters are behaving normally again. If this problem happens again for me I might be able to look into it, but it's certainly an odd one.

@Ched80

I can't replicate this I'm afraid, but it's been a occasional problem for some users going back years. I suggest running the FPSC cleaner placing a single segment out of view. This often resets the lightmapping.

Been a way for a while but very happy to see WASP merged into vanilla SC, as you know I've always been a big fan. I've noticed a few bugs with this new BETA however most seem to have already been reported, I just have two issues.

When I place a trigger to spawn an entity it crashes for me... Same characters will spawn when set to spawn at start, however with triggers it crashes.

Second issue is, on a static map with a few static lights for some reason my AI processing whaps up to about 70-80% and entity logic whaps up to 90-100% which is affecting frame rate. There are no holes in any of the portals (no leaks) and no dynamic entities (apart from holding weapon)... When I revert to 1.18 it seems fine again! I had this issue in previous WASP, FPS was increased most of the times, however for some reason at Random AI Processing would whizz up and Entity Logic would whizz up decreasing the framerate somewhat...

@Sting.

Good to see you back. Could you please post your system specs and if possible a FPM outling the problem. Secondly, when FPS jumps up, are you seeing a drop in performance, or does everything run smoothly?

I've believe I've fixed the occasional spawning bug. I've ran 30 tests and all appears to be well and this fix will appear in the next beta.

Sorry, maybe my problem was somewhere in this thread(or forum), but I didn't read whole this theard.
So, I've got weird issue after installation this update, connected with weapons, actually, with the shooting. When I'm shooting, the shooting animation is stopping and I only see the cartridge case which is hung in air. I don't know how to explain exactly, but it looks like the shooting animation doesn't work correctly.
I wanted to record a video and show what's going on, but during recording everything works good(every time). Therefore, I attach only the screenshot.

I concur with Scene Commander with the spawning character issue using a trigger zone. Before I added r530, I would get the crash sporadically -- sometimes it wouldn't crash; but, I won't go into that. However, after adding the changes of r530 I could not duplicate a crash after upteen tests. I would also change from no shaders to turning shaders on. (It's not easy turning a shader on -- you have to wine and dine first. Shaders don't come cheap.

Also, least anyone forgets, always use appear2.fpi for characters if you wish to spawn them with full shaders on. I forgot and kept getting invisible characters.

@Snake200

Which weapon are you using? Stock from WWII or from some other model pack.

I tried a half dozen or so weapons with no problems.

It is interesting that you can't duplicate this problem when trying to do a video capture. Hmmmm? Not sure what that might mean.

Maybe it doesn't happen to everybody but when I spawn a character from a trigger zone or just using an entity that activateifused=1, then that character will be invisible. However, using appear2.fpi will cause the character to be visible.

appear1.fpi

:state=0:setalphafade=100,runfpidefault=1

appear2.fpi

:state=0:state=1,setalphafade=0,animate=1
:state=1,alphafadeequal=0:incalphafade=100
:state=1,alphafadeequal=100:state=2,runfpidefault=1

========================================

Setting alphafade immediately to 100 seems to have issues but setting it to 0 and then increasing it to 100 (fully visible) will correct this issue.

It happens with any weapon which I'm using. When I'm using stock weapons and other too. Everything is fine, when I'm recording the video (which is very strange btw), therefore I cannot show any video. This issue appears only during the shooting.

My system spec:
-Windows XP SP3
- AMD Athlon Dual Core processor 5000+ 2.61 GHz
- 2GB of RAM
- GForce 7600GT video card

I know, that my video card is a bit old but after this update I have about 80 fps. I didn't have this issue on the 1.18 update.

@A dude

Attached for download that has been done so far (everything from way back when - v1.19 stuff on top.

Snake200

Just a heads up. Not all older video cards are playing well with v1.19. Just because it works with v1.18 doesn't mean it will work with v1.19. My older graphic card (which isn't that old) on my laptop is not compatible at all with v1.19. It is even a NVIDIA which is the graphics card of choice by TGC.

Is anybody else having the same problem as Snake200?

But this problem is rather unconnected with the video card. Everything works very well except for shooting animation.
Maybe I'll try to use some different software to recording video (I used Fraps so far) and maybe it will record this bug.

I know it seems like it should work; but, unless Scene Commander can duplicate it then it is very difficult to fix if there is a problem with the code. I'm going to test it out on my laptop. Since I haven't done any shooting with my game as yet I haven't had need. I'll do a simple fpm as you have done. Thanks for the video, that really does show what happens.

Thanks SC, Flatlander good to see you back also!

My system specs are up to par; Athlon x64 2.2, HD4670 1GB 2gb RAM, completely tweaked system.

When the AI/EL bars go up to full the FPS isn't knocked considerably, however you do see a lag in movement (mouse movement). I will whip up a video for you now. Good to see the entity spawn was knocked on the head almost immediately.

Polygon count for the static scene is rather minimal, I cannot help but think it could be a portal issue but I'll make the video up this second and post it in a couple of hours.

I just saw this:

Quote: "
jamchance=X.0 (gunspec) = percentage chance of a gun jammed due to overheat (Reloading clears jam)
overheatafter=x (gunspec) = the number of shots fired before the chance of jamming becomes active.
cooldown=x (gunspec) = time in millisecs between shots to completely prevent jamming
currentweaponjammed (condition) = returns true if the current weapon is jammed.
"


A hint for the developers, all of the updated stock weapons got a "clear jam" animation, so it would really be awesome to see an optional "fix jam = 620,660"
Each weapon also got a "jammed = 606,612"

Video Complete...

Before I enter the room you will see the AI/EL bars are half way up (ish) which I can't understand anyway seen as though there are no dynamic entities in the map.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkyeZsuLJ4o[/youtube]

After I leave the room you will then also see it drop again. After extensive testing it seems, if your camera gets too close to a static entity it increases the AI/EL bars.

Crap frame rate is due to recording.

Of course post process is on, how do you think I achieved the night vision?!

PostProcess on/off makes no difference to the AI/EL bar which is why I presumed it is in the engine itself.

SC - If you make an 8x8 room with lots of static entities inside (asif you were modelling a room) test it and the closer you get to an entity the higher the bars go up.

I can't seem to be able to set the value of the internal variable my own user variable, so the HUD just displays the number 0 rather than the $DIM value of the entity.

@Everyone who can compile the FPSC source code:

Let me quickly say that I have been trying off-and-on for several months now to compile the source code but it always flops and says it cannot understand a command (I'll try to pull up the error again). My primary problem is that I'm missing a few DLLs. I'm running DBP U7.5 and am wondering what extras should I download to fix this problem?

Thank you!

@Captain Coder.

You need RC7.7 from the DBP boards and the extra dll's found http://www.thegamecreators.com/?m=view_product&id=2000&page=upgrade7-5

I think that's the latest extra's folder, if I'm wrong I'm sure someone will tell me.

I have attached an image with the error messages. basicaly i can walk around for around about 15 seconds and it starts lagging then freezes. would it have anything to do with doors being left open once the character passes through? And should i stick to using official model packs aswell? Thank you, kalex 91


I have just tested from the start of the map and got more than halfway through. im going to delete all the items near the end and hopefully find out whats causing the problem. should boxes be static instead of dynamic?

Not necessarily but I have occasionally (not very often at all) run across free models that have caused problems. Also, some older models might cause issues.

My suggestion is to test your levels often and save parts of levels frequently so you can go back to an older level that you knew worked. Add very few free models to the level and test. If works, save and continue on.

Thanks to Scene Commander I will now be able to update all the stock weapons to fully use the new cool features like jamming weapons and fully working handanimations.

Here is a quick test I did with stock and Mp54 weapons.



Since there is no sound for when the gun is jammed its a bit hard to see in the video, but I am trying to fire as quick as possible.

This would be really awesome for a zombiegame, having hordes of zombies getting closer. And the gun you found in the trash is rusty and un-trusty, resulting in breaking down all of the time.

Sorry for double post (SC has already read my previous post, so there's no guarantee he'll read an edit);

I've got a potential bug. Whenever I load a map, save it, then load a new map, FPSC crashes, with the usual generic error message. At 1st I thought it was because I use a lot of custom media, so I tried it with the 2 stock Sci-Fi maps. However, I get the same problem with the stock maps; i.e. I load a map, save it, then when I load a new map, the editor crashes.

If you think this is a bug (it might just be my old dinosaur, playing tricks on me again lol), I'll post it on the google code site as well...

[edit]Sometimes FPSC will also crash when I just save a map, without loading a new one afterwards[/edit]
