Hi All,

I'm posting this as a new post so everyone sees it. We're making a final run through of reported issues with FPSC V120 as we're intending the next release to be the final one.

We've made quite a few fixes to AI and will be aiming to address the 'shoot' through doors problem in the next release.

We are also aware of the issue with video textures not copying over.

Lastly, we've made various tweaks to fix the MP bobble issue.

If you've got a bug that isn't one of the above, please post here,(rather than in the official beta thread). This way we'll be certain not to miss anything. We can't make any promises, as we are having to prioritise, but if it's a show stopper, we'll look at it.

Thanks all,

SC

'backdropvideo' doesn't work properly (I mentioned this in the beta with more details)

Not a big deal, not a necessary feature.

@Flatlander...

A slight mistake.. but easy to make...

@Burger,

That's on our list, as before, no promises as as far as we can tell it's never worked (if someone can say for sure it did, then we'll look further into it.).

And lastly, thanks to whoever put a sticky on this.

Has this one been fixed? Just making sure since if not that would mean a serious bug remaining in v.1.20.

Sorry for not testing it as beta tester myself... I'm currently working on a project and don't want to mess it up by installing beta versions

A friend and I recently tried to play a multiplayer map I created, but whenever he centered his reticle on my character, his game entirely froze and he would lag out of the game (aka, a crash).

I don't know how this is happening, but I know there's a bug that's causing it.

@D0MINIK :- well this must not be a big problem for you if you not helping with fixing this issue this has now been classed as fixed unless you get that map to us.

@Mini0013xx Same goes to you as well if we don't get a map with the problem we will put it down as fixed.


This is a final warning if you want any bug fixing please post here with maps or built games for us to see the problem, if you not willing to do this don't moan its not fixed.

Sorry for being harsh but time is running out for this final release so get your problems out there or forever hold your peace.

I made a level that has a dark AI ally. When walking into a different room, 3 enemies spawn in a room the ally is in. When the ally kills the enemies, there is no corpse. The character model is just standing up, but is halfway through the floor so you can only see the waist up.

Oh yeah, that reminds me, allies cannot seem to go through regular 1x1 segment doors (that require a key or are remote at least). Not sure if that is a model pack 3 issue, but i thought I should address it

@Muzzles56 :- We need a map to test this out with stock if you can provide one as can't recreate the issues.

If you can't recreate the issue with stock then the problem will be with the scripts you using.

I'm finding a lot of issues are sometime due to bad scripts.

For dark ai to see doors the need to have the word _door at the end of the mesh name.

Is the issue of built games not running on PC's other than the exact one the game was built on, fixed? Forgive me if it's already sorted it out, I haven't used the absolute latest beta.

I've never had an issue with this. The most important thing the computer needs is DX9. Some systems only have DX10 or above and therefore the user needs to download or you need to make available DX9 for him/her to install. If they think they have DX9 they should at least still re-install it.

Maps with stock will help a lot.

Not sure whether it is confined to my installation, but in the standard ww2 scenario, the two guards in the final room fire their single shot guns at me at machine gun firing rate (fresh install and update, no messing with scripts).

@yrkoon,

Could you let me know the full name of the map you're refering to, as I don't recall any of the WW2 maps using shotguns, or do you mean pistols?

Thanks,

Yes, TZK, you're perfectly right. Those guys empty their magazines at me in way under a second (and they are very efficient at that .

@sc
The term "rifle" somehow had escaped me, I actually meant "guns usually firing one single shot at a time", as opposed to automatic or machine guns, and I never thought of shotguns (I'm not a native English speaker).

It's the room with the gold on the table in an elevated, recessed part of the room, and the map is ww2.fpm.
Sorry for not having been very precise before, but I thought that map is unique enough among the standard maps.

@yrkoon :- I can confirm the issue thanks for the report.

Dead line for bugs is Wednesday then we will not be taken anymore bugs.

The deadline for us to fix is this Friday so we will do our best to try and fix as many bugs until that time.

I'd like to get a bug for V120 B17A whilst there is still time.

When the player walks into a segment wall the camera shakes about violently instead of just stopping you.

I've not used FPSC for a while but if this has always been there it needs to be fixed as its really noticeable and looks horrible.

Please fix the player collision so the player stops gracefully when walking into objects.

No FPM required for this. Just load up the 'simple.fpm' and walk into a wall or the half segment walls in the middle of the map.

Maybe this also has something to do with the head bobbing in multiplayer which I also noticed when testing.

Confirmed for me also. Weaponglow seems fine. Seems to be related only to the "health & key" scripts. When I also change the "pickuphealthglow" to "pickuphealth" is does not disappear but am not able to pickup the "Health" anymore. The "pickupkeyglow" makes the key/s not visible at all. (they don't seem to load at all)
Darn, and so close too.

I'm using the fpm supplied by Tax 78. Using shaders either on or off I cannot confirm this. I turned the player's back on (looked away from -- took his eyes off of) the health entities but they do not disappear when the pc turns to look at them again. I also used just the pickuphealth.fpi and it also works fine for me. I'm not sure if it has anything else to do with how parameters are set. Also, not sure if it is a video card issue which would be a bummer.

Of course, if the pc never loses any health the health item will not be picked up. Only when the pc loses some health then the health item will be picked up.

You maybe right? So far though it seems to be effecting only certain entities, all "health & key glow scripts". Weapons(glow) seem unaffected. Ran with shaders on & off, postprocessing also on & off. Made no difference.
If it matters I'm running a GeForce 210

Been doing a bit of bug fixing today.

All the fixes added today only work in a new map if you use the old ww2 map some of the bugs will still be there.

The heathpack bug is to do with the spinrate of the script and the culling system.

Scene will have to look into that as I'm not 100% sure how he set it up.

I have added a better timing system to help with fixing more issues.

Since it works fine for me, I wonder if I have set culling differently than the default -- or if those having issues with it have reset the culling values. I can't recall that I have done anything with the culling values? I don't know if I'll have time but I could check that out by using different culling values. I certainly haven't reset the spinrate.

@F l a t l a n d e r :- I've set it to off as default instead of on as I'm not seeing any performance increase with it on or off.

People can switch it on with scripts if they want to use it I feel this is the best option at the moment as many items still don't show up.

Its a good system but feel it don't need to be on as default.

Just give it a fixed to waypoints, is my only suggestion, and I explained in previous posts, with sample videos and you will know that other defects will have the beta patch, by the way, I am a FPS Creator Reloaded Pledger now, at least leave well groomed the classic version (the new name for the FPSC X9), thanks for your attention.

We not taken anymore bug reports as the dead line has passed.

@unimansoftent Scene and myself can't repeat this bug so we think it might be a scripting issue with yourself plus flatlander has show working videos of these working fine and how to set them up.

If you using an old map then the map needs to be rebuilt from fresh as sometimes old maps don't work.

Also sometimes the commands change so your scripts might be out of date and need redoing.


Waypoints have never been changed or touched and you never posted a map with the problem so we could see the problem.

If you post a map before the end of today it might get looked at as a last thing.

@s4real

I'm putting this here only to hopefully get your attention faster.

What is the date used for compiling of the most current dll called:

DBProTextDebug.dll

???

I've been getting MS program faults within this dll when loading a saved level or even when the next level loads after a finished level.

BTW,that's what I'm thinking about unimansoftent's issue.

The problem is something to do with the shaders as michael x said maybe the flashlight code needs changing a bit to work with shader's better.

I think bond1 did make some that worked with the flashlights
