EDuke32 snapshot thread

[ilovefoxes]

I have a question... how does a model know the offset of the weapon bobbing? Does it use a structure member (such as gun_pos), or does the angle is affected over models draw onscreen depending of the x-y?

[Hendricks266]

This showed up in my log file, default CONs:

Compiling: GAME.CON (151190 bytes)
Including: DEFS.CON (36013 bytes)
Including: USER.CON (45482 bytes)
GAME.CON: In actor `ORGANTIC':
GAME.CON:3968: warning: found `else' with no `if'.
GAME.CON: In state `pigshootenemystate':
GAME.CON:5891: warning: found `else' with no `if'.
Found 2 warning(s), 0 error(s).

The first one is caused by the order of the else statements.

actor ORGANTIC TURRETSTRENGTH
  ifcount 48
    resetcount
  else
  {
    ifcount 32
    sizeto 32 32
  }
  else 
    ifcount 16
    {
      sizeto 48 18
      ifpdistl 2048
      {
        sound TURR_ATTACK
        addphealth -2
        palfrom 32 16
      }
    }
  ifhitweapon
  {
    ifdead
    {
      addkills 1
      sound TURR_DYING
      guts JIBS5 10
      killit
    }
    sound TURR_PAIN
    break
  }
  ifrnd 1
    soundonce TURR_ROAM
enda

The second one is a valid error. There is an “ifcansee” statement at the beginning of the state, but it is commented out, so there is nothing “else” to do.

Congratulations. Every default set of CON files, from v1.3D to WWII GI produces warnings in the .log file.

In addition, the uppercase bluefont B always shows up as a different texture corruption, and mirrors show the wooden backdrop for an instant before rendering correctly.

[TerminX]

The code you posted contains a valid error in it--you might want to actually give it a read. ifcount 48 { do something } else { do something } else ifcount 16 { do something that can never happen, ever }

Mirrors will always show something other than the reflection for the first frame of visibility, it's just how they are. The texture problem is still being investigated.

[Hendricks266]

Hmm. I did read it, and I thought that it was just the attempt to keep things from happening afterwards. Would it work if the third else statement was moved in front of the first?

[ilovefoxes]

The correct would be:

  ifcount 48
    resetcount
  else
    ifcount 32
      sizeto 32 32
  else 
    ifcount 16
    {
      sizeto 48 18
      ifpdistl 2048
      {
        sound TURR_ATTACK
        addphealth -2
        palfrom 32 16
      }
    }

Hey i have 2 problems. I dont know if i did something wrong or if its a bug/limitation of polymost:
1- I defined a new tint as pallette 33:

tint { pal 33 red 255 green 255 blue 255 flags 1 }

I dont know why, but it only do the effect in the models, not in the hires textures. Then i changed it to pallette 3 and it worked perfect. Is it a bug or a limitation that dont allows you to define tints higher than 25/ or whatever is the "max" number?

I changed to this to work:

tint { pal 3 red 255 green 255 blue 255 flags 1 }

2- I defined an animated texture that have 29 frames and used the animtilerange comand, it worked fine. Then i defined another animated texture that have 130 frames, and it dont worked. They are defined right because all frames show in mapster, but the animation dont works.
Here is the code used:

Any ideas ?

[The Commander]

Yeah, Animation tile has a limit (not sure on correct value of it) but it cant support 130 in a single animation.

[HellFire]

Strange, because the animation you do in .ART supports it.

[Usurper]

It most certainly does not. 64 frame max.

[DeeperThought]

If you need more frames than that, you can use CON defined animations and string multiple animations together.

[DeeperThought]

How about adding a new sprite flag so that actors other than the player can spawn decals from their bullets?

[HellFire]

Oh, youre right, my mistake.

DT, i know nothing about con coding, can you make a sample code for me or if you know a place that i can find an example of that code ?

[DeeperThought]

I could, but it occurs to me that if what you want is animation on a texture for a wall, floor or ceiling, then the code would have to be pretty fancy. Animation on sprites is done via the action commnd, which is used all over the place in the original CONs, and has an entry in the wiki.

[misfitx]

hey, i have no coding experience whatsoever.. but as a fan of eduke32 i have a question..

is anything being done to fix the parallaxed skybox in polymost? if i remember correctly.. the top of the sky box is missing and shows up as gray.. (im not on my computer at the moment so i can't tell)

There is nothing wrong with the skyboxes, your defs file must be messed up.

[DeeperThought]

He was talking about the 8-bit skyboxes when using polymost without the HRP. DEF files got nothing to do with it.

[misfitx]

this is what im talking about

[ilovefoxes]

I have a request to do:

The tint applied with RGB modifier in some cases looks low quality. Would it be possible to "colorize", instead of changing RGB values?

Let's say I am using a color of value R 100% G 50% B 50% (light red). While it will look fine in a gray or yellow wall, if my mod use too much blue walls, it will looks like just as dark walls, instead of purple (blue + red).

I have made a example image to show what I mean.

[supergoofy]

feature request:
TerminX can you add a command switch to disable texture caching?

e.g. eduke32 -notexcache

something like that?

[Hendricks266]

Rather than that, how about a command switch that will execute console commands, that could potentially be used for this? Like:

eduke32 -console "set r_texcache 0"

[NightFright]

Another neat idea would be to precache all available highres textures before actually loading any level. That way, you would have a fully cached game even before starting the actual game. Could come in handy for rebuilding cache file, too.

[Piterplus]

Maybe this is old news, but only now I have noticed that famous "San Andreas" textures misalignment bug is gone .

[Plagman]

Yeah, hunter fixed it a while ago. It was also happening in the projection room of E1L1, IIRC.

[Radar1013]

yeah it might be fixed on other comps but now i'm getting the problem on mine.

[Plagman]

That shouldn't happen. What version are you running? Can you post a screenshot?

[The Commander]

Maybe he has updated his drivers or his card also, don't forget to refresh/delete your tex cache, though im still not sure if thats needed with the new caching system. (If it is then a page on the eduke wiki might need to be updated.)

[Zaxtor]

Also theres a music glitch (music wont start sometimes)

when u shift+F5 a lot it does it sometimes.

Also When you have starttrack (number) works.
But sometimes when you goto next level music doesn't start at all.

U have to like restart Eduke to fix or something.

Dunno if any1 else encounter this bug.

[TerminX]

New snapshot: http://wiki.eduke32.com/stuff/eduke32_current.zip

Mostly internal changes... optimizations, better Windows 7 support, et cetera.

[RichardStorm]

Damn.. i have a bug with the last two snapshots (only using edited cons) : when i run eduke and i want to play a map, the second time i do this ( selecting it, starting an episode or going to the next level) the game crashes with this (from eduke32.log) :

[NightFright]

I like the new loading status in new EDuke32 build (percentage loaded & X/Y textures loaded). Logfile now shows following error message:

GAME.CON: In actor `ORGANTIC':
GAME.CON:3968: warning: found `else' with no `if'.
GAME.CON: In state `pigshootenemystate':
GAME.CON:5891: warning: found `else' with no `if'.
Found 2 warning(s), 0 error(s).

Well, I think it's nothing bad (warnings and no errors, anyway), and I'm using original v1.5 Atomic .grp from CD, but I am always confused when something pops up that hasn't been there before, forgive me.

[Hendricks266]

It's been that way since the test build.

[NightFright]

Well, no problem, then. THX!

Send your CONs to [email protected], thanks.

Seems to work fine. What are you talking about?

[supergoofy]

try to delete the texture cache files (2 files - textures and textures.cache) and try to reload your saved game


[edit]
Yes DeeperThought, that message was for Puritan

[DeeperThought]

Are you talking to Puritan?

[TerminX]

Maybe he's talking about the internal version number increasing again, forcing a break in savegame compatibility.

[Puritan]

I'm just a messenger from here.
