Hopefully this is completed!

Would love to try it out in a final working state.

@Dark Goblin
It's really up to you if you want to help. Just in case, I'm about to add you to the googlecode permissions
EDIT: You may have to sign up to GoogleCode, it says that no GC account exists with your email :p

@DarkFrost
Yes, it'll be interesting to see how it turns out when it's done.

I use 90% of the new commands :p
Personally, I wouldn't use CorVus myself, since my PC is actually too weak to run it I merely ported it for those that can. Xploid mod MAY make a public comeback here though. But I don't know if the mods, Bond1 or DG would like it to be posted on this forum.

@The Zombie Killer

You must use Dark Goblins help. This might be the last opportunity to take this mod from a tech demo to production.

This is the only reason I check in on the forum these days.

Given the history that took place, this should help answer your question.

I personally have no problem at all with any of the other Mods posted on this forum, which have CorVus Mod as a base (which by now should be known that it was done by me and published with open source) as long as they give proper credit.
What a user has done or not, is not my business and I will not comment on that.
I have no problem with this thread, this port to a new FPSC version or even a new mod based on CorVus.
... Just wanted to make this clear.

@The Zombie Killer:
I have an googlecode account but with another mail (got an mail from me with the e-mail).
Will see if I can help in any way if I get some time but I cannot promise anything.

I've now switched the repository over to SourceForge, as it seems to work better, and doesn't stuff up my files. The downside is, the older versions of the CorVus source are unavailable now, but who wants old obsolete and possibly non-working versions anyway. I also now have a wiki! (In progress)
Enjoy the new setup.

Hey is this compatible with FPSC IP? Currently there is no mod that is with the latest version of FPSC and I would like one since you need 1.15 to use FPSC IP sadly.. This mod would be great if you could use it with FPSC IP, Would allow very nicely detailed multiplayer games

It is unlikely that I will implement FPSCIP support, because CorVus is open-source. But I guess I could make a closed source FPSCIP version.

Okay, I am in need of some help, I just need you to get CorVus to read the setup.ini values from corvus_setup.ini instead. If you could do that it would be GREATLY appreciated

@FlyllyMan
I have emailed knxrb and I will make a version that supports FPSCIP.

there should be a way to change from which file it should read all the variables. Try a search inside the source. If I find some time today or the next days I will look for myself.

Than you need to write your own code which reads from this file. Simple with matrix utils.

THanks so much! I can't use some of my model packs with older versions of FPSC so currently I can't work on my game ): But with FPSC IP working with this (an amazingly beautiful mod!) it will be better than I thought

New alpha code released.
In the alpha coming after this one, weapons will work and the mod will run faster due to the implementation of the latest EVOLVED shaders. CorVus also now contains some of Xploid mod's code. The original code for Xploid mod was recently lost, so that mod is now being redone using this as a base. Thanks go to Kill3r7 for the weapon fix and EVOLVED update.

If this mod dies any hope of FPSC competing with the commercial engines will die with it.

Since you have fixed the weapons in the latest build it would be madness not to push forward and fix enemies also.

The latest build of the mod is r639. The uncompiled code is the latest of course. The release with the weapons fixed and latest EVOLVED stuff is unreleased, even in code form at the moment though.

@Nomad Soul
Don't worry, I won't stop working on this for a while yet. I promise you that at least the weapons will work before I give up on CorVus.

@The Zombie Killer

Please give a list of the key features / bugs etc you are working on with this mod or planning to work on?

I don't use FPSC for development at the moment and this is probably the only mod that would spark enough interest for me to start using it again.

What FPSC needs is big changes that will give it a longer life. v117 brought a lot to the table but it needs more, a lot more.

The commercial engines out there bring this level of change with every major release. FPSC just isn't keeping up with that.

This mod would go a long way to putting FPSC back on the map.

Bug list that I'm working on:

* Weapons not working (currently done, but untested, code donated by Xploid mod creator Kill3r7)
* Characters not working (not done, but this bug can be fixed by changing the character's appear script to 'appearnogravity.fpi')
* Characters shoot you through walls (not done, I believe this is due to the deletion of the universe file)
* Lag (probably won't ever be done lol, it's because of how CorVus works, and there's no way I'm rewriting the mod)

Features that may be copied over from H6 mod, if I can get the code:

* Bullet time
* Minimap
* Performance improvements
* Windowed mode

Sure thing. It's just because of that. To fix this you would need your own static univserse which needs to be invisible.

Quote: "* Lag (probably won't ever be done lol, it's because of how CorVus works, and there's no way I'm rewriting the mod)"

And again, true. This was a bit better with my try on LRMod but it's simply because Advanced Lighting needs so many ressources, so this will be a hard thing to do (if it's even possible).

@Dark Goblin
Keeping the static universe and then making the dynamic one invisible and collisionless would fix the jumping character AND shooting through walls issue wouldn't it? The only downside of that solution being the segment shaders not working.

@jmtmew
You can already have that stuff, just not in CorVus yet. Look up H6 Mod with the forum search button.

I know, I already searched it, but I mean, for V119, I'd rather have the functionality of V119 than have to go to V116 or V115 to use H6 Mod. Plus, if it was added to CorVus, even better

The creator of Xploid mod once had the H6 mod source code, it was even in Xploid mod at one point. If I ever get my hands on the H6 code, I'll make a v119 port AND implement some of it into CorVus.

Ah awesome, yeah, looking forward to seeing what you do with this mod, if you could even get half of those features into a properly working mod, I'd be extremely happy, if it just wasn't for the bugs and said performance issues...

I'd love to help, but I'm no modder, so whether you redo it or not, I'll certainly be following this.

I've not tried to compile the latest Corvous source, but if you're basing it around the latest source on google code you need blank.bmp placed in the videobank folder, without it, the engine will crash. I've attached the image to this post to see if it helps you.

If this is in fact the case; then this will be shut down on these boards. That would be allowing Kill3r7 to circumvent his perm-ban from these Forums; which he received for uploading one of Bond's MPs to a file-sharing site awhile back. See the thread here:

He isn't actually doing it, he's finding the problem and telling me what it is so I can fix it. I am aware of what happened with the model pack. I'm begging you not to shut this down, I've put so much hard work into it, and the only part of his mod that's in this is 5 lines which is some DoF code that gets DoF working correctly, and I can easily remove that if you want to take it that far.

I'll give you this:

- No message from Kill3r7 should be placed here; whether it's about a bug fix, etc....makes no difference. That would be circumventing his perma-ban.

- If the only part of his Mod is those few lines of code; I suggest you find a way to make it work without his help. Going off of the post I quoted; you and he may be working on the Mod from "the ground up", which suggests heavy investment by him. That cannot be allowed.

Is this satisfactory?

*sigh* Yes, I understand, I'll remove the parts from his mod and any other parts of it that I may have forgotten. Please give me some time to do so though, as it's not a quick five minute job.
I'm just glad you're not shutting it down, after all the work I've poured into this, it would be a huge letdown to have it closed.

As long as you're moving in that direction, I won't put a time-limit on it.

I'm not trying to be stoic here; but I have to make sure both the AUP and past transgressions by former members are not overlooked, just because something is made that everyone wants or needs. I've said it before; Moderating here is never black and white....it's mostly shades of grey.

Yeah, I know what you mean, and I have no problem with what you're doing, you're a good mod, so you follow the rules of the AUP the way they should be followed. And you enforce them the way a mod should. Thanks for not placing a time limit on it.

@All
I cannot find any way to get the DoF working, I'll probably have to cut it out of the mod completely, or leave it to DG. I never use the DoF anyway, so this is no problem for me. Heck, I only really use the shadows.

UPDATE

This is the latest version of the CorVus source code.
This is for Dark Goblin to look at.

New commands:

* CorVusFlashOn -- Turn on flashlight

* CorVusFlashToggle -- CorVusFlashOn and CorVusFlashOff merged into a single command
* DisableShadowUpdate -- Disable shadow updates
* EnableShadowUpdate -- Enable shadow updates
* DisableSkyUpdate -- Disable sky updates
* EnableSkyUpdate -- Enable sky updates
* DisableToDUpdate -- Disable ToD updates
