Re: EDuke32 snapshot thread
yeah timidity and freepats are installed, midi and sound effects work fine in the game. everything works fine actually, apart from a few sprites (fire) about 10ft up in the air
 i tried that breakpoint but it died before that. was trying to learn how to use gdb and logging the output and attaching to eduke from the terminal but that just caused it to crash trying to attach. so I don't know if any of the logs i got would of been usefull to my specific problem anyway  sorry, i know the basics of linux but still learning the technical stuff

Re: EDuke32 snapshot thread
OK, this looks like a pathnames with spaces issue ("Could not find group file 'D:\Documents\My.grp'." . It's also worth noting that EDuke32 loaded DukePlus without being asked to, not sure how/why it did that
If I temporarily rename the DukePlus folder so EDuke32 can't find it and use eduke32.exe -gAddons\xartech.gda from the directory, it works; definitely a "spaces in path" problem.

Re: EDuke32 snapshot thread
OK, ModDir = DukePlus. At least that answers that.
Is there some way of telling EDuke32 to NOT remember which grp files, addons or whatever I used before and use them again? If not, please could one be added? I use a launcher that gives a unified look and feel to the games I use and don't want anything happening behind my back  It'd be a real pain to have to resort to parsing the cfg file to delete all ModDir lines, or creating a junction "DukePlus" to "dpliveshere" when I want to use DukePlus then deleting the junction when I don't, etc, etc. Or worse still, having several different installations of Duke3D just to say what gets loaded --that's what a command-line is for On a general note (not just for EDuke32), it'd be very helpful if all source ports had a command-line option that says "do not load ANYTHING not essential to running the game, unless I tell you to". This would mean that only the IWAD/main-GRP file, the default .cfg file and Autoexec/Autoload files/folders would be loaded by default. Hell, I'd add a "strict" form of that, which would suppress any autoload things as well, but maybe that's going a bit too far. ---------- Post added at 01:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 AM ---------- Sorry to be a PITA -- bug also happens with the new current build posted a few minutes ago. The enhanced error code reporting is cool, though  Spoiler: |

Re: EDuke32 snapshot thread
Oops; sorry Terminx, my bad - bug in the launcher
 The launcher is supposed to quote arguments that have spaces before passing them to the game. I tried passing the same argument on a command-line, properly quoted, and it worked OK then, no problem: both of these work: eduke32.exe "/gD:\Documents\My FPS Games\Games\DN\FV15\Addons\XARTECH.GDA" eduke32.exe /g"D:\Documents\My FPS Games\Games\DN\FV15\Addons\XARTECH.GDA" Of course, Eduke32 shouldn't just crash if the args are wrong; but as one developer to another, I feel your pain The launcher can wait until tomorrow, though; it's nearly 2am here and even the cats are asleep - time to join them! |

Re: EDuke32 snapshot thread
@Martin Howe, create batch files and tell eduke32 what to load and in which order. It's simple.
-j(dirname) -g(filename, grp or zip) -x(game con file) -h(def file name) -cfg (specify cfg filename) example load Duke it out in DC with HRP and dukeplus: eduke32.exe -gdukedc.grp -gduke3d_hrp.zip -gxdukedc_hrp.zip -jDukePlus -hdukeplus.def -cfg dp.cfg |

Re: EDuke32 snapshot thread
Heh, yeah, it shouldn't crash. These things happen... EDuke32 is a huge codebase and a lot of it barely resembles the original code.
The crash point has already been located and the fix will be in the next snapshot.

Re: EDuke32 snapshot thread
Does the new snapshot do anything about running 8-bit at fullscreen on Linux? I just found out that that bug prevents me from ever running Mapster32 fullscreen because of 2D mode being 8-bit.
Edit: Also, Mapster is saving maps from other locations into ~/.eduke32 again.

Re: EDuke32 snapshot thread
I got a problem. I downloaded the new Snapshot from March 14 and i gotta say it makes my eduke32 run so bad. The February 1 snapshot runs so much better for me. What's going on? Is this a problem for everyone or is it just me?

Re: EDuke32 snapshot thread
Question about models (and large sprites) disappearing when the center is off screen:
Assuming there is no actual fix for this, could I counter this by having a hidden actor face the center of the model and use the "showview" command (which draws a window on the screen) but have the screen not actually drawn or not visable by having the window drawn to 1x1 pixels? This'll mean the model's center is essentially being looked constantly so would this prevent it from disappearing? |

Re: EDuke32 snapshot thread
Hi, is there a way to make the faces of a model be double sided? Im obviously not talking about editing an model, since the model in my case will be used too much, and duplicanting all faces would create a considerable slowdown in the game. Im asking this because i just get some models from the Cube2/Sauerbraten game to put in my mod, its some trees. But, in the Sauerbraten/Cube2 engine, all faces are rendered as double sided - the skins is rendered in both sides - but in polymost this dont happens. Because this the foliage of the tree can only be seen from above. Im not saying this is a bug of polymost or something, i can understand why backfaces are not rendered as in most cases theyre not supposed to.
Here some screens to explain better my problem: Polymost screens:   Cube2 screens of the same model:  As you see, the foliage is rendered right in the sauerbraten screenshot, but not in the polymost screenshot, and its the same model, i didnt edited/converted it because the Cube2 engine uses md3 too. What im asking: a simple .def command to make all faces of the desired model to be double sided. If this is possible to be done i would be very grateful.

Re: EDuke32 snapshot thread
I am not entierly certain of this put I think from a performance point of view rendering them dual sided and doubling the polygons in the model probably is not that much of a diference.

Re: EDuke32 snapshot thread
Controls in Mapster32 have been totally screwing up. When I adjust sector height with the scroll-wheel, it starts interpreting ALL mouse movements as moving the scroll-wheel in one direction, and later another. When I release it, the cursor moves in curves and loop-de-loops, and all inputs lag.

Re: EDuke32 snapshot thread
I'm trying to make my actor work out the ID of the wall its touching but having some final problems with it (and a mass of coding to get this far with it)
Could there ever be a simple command that allows the actor to obtain the ID of the wall it touches? As currently you have to work out the first wall in a sector, cycle through all the walls with the help of wallnum (so we know when to stop counting) then do some X/Y slicing to get the closest wall points possition......and that's really where I'm up to as point2 could be either left or right of the original point, further more, the next closest point wont always be the other end of the wall the actor is touching as what I encounted and brought me here. The "ifawayfromwall" command already tells the actor if its touching a wall (the line of the wall!!!!!) could something be worked off from that to then get it to retrieve the ID of that wall it knows its touching? Or will it be far harder then that to do?

Re: EDuke32 snapshot thread
Just use movesprite to make the actor bump into the wall, and then get the ID of what it hit from the returned information.

Re: EDuke32 snapshot thread
Don't know if this has been mentioned or not but for whatever reason Mapster32 has been a bit of a CPU hog as of late. It seems to push my CPU to the limit (as testified by the loud humming noises) and quite often the program will freeze for a while when switching from 3D to 2D or vice versa. This is odd because my CPU is 3,00 GHZ.
I doubt that Mapster itself is the culprit, but the solution to this annoying issue is not that obvious. I've tried disabling as many background apps as I could with no result.. So yeah. Does anyone know what to do about this? (and don't say "get better PC")

Re: EDuke32 snapshot thread
Check your processes in the task manager to make sure no garbage is running, you could try lowering the resolution for 3D and 2D mode, but if it's slowing you down going into 2D mode, it could be something else using CPU up.
You could also try using Mapster in 8-Bit mode (i do this anyway).  ^ An example. CPU and Memory are the ones you need to look at - a lot of people i know forget that it says how much CPU a process is using. Be sure to enable "show processes from all users" as this shows more of the processes that are run by system accounts, if thats not on already, you might have to restart the task manager after enabling it. Than check to see if there are things using a lot of CPU and Memory other than mapster, you can then try closing a process that is doing this (if you close one you shouldnt, a box will come up that makes the PC shut down, this doesnt do any damage).

Re: EDuke32 snapshot thread
I suppose you take me for an idiot. When something is using up my CPU, obviously taskmgr.exe is the first thing I check. Mapster32 and everything else works fine most of the time but at some moments my CPU just peaks through the roof. This doesn't happen when I'm not using Mapster32 though (so I guess I must draw a conclusion that is the opposite of what I assumed earlier; Mapster32 must be the cause in this case).
I'll see if enabling 8bit mode does the trick though, thanks for the tip.

Re: EDuke32 snapshot thread
I dont take you for an idiot, its just that about 90% of people i have told to look in the task manager for things didn't know what the "CPU" and "Memory" means (including trained ICT practicioners and Network administrators) - that's why i pointed it out, in case you didnt know, that way i would have been saving time by not having to explain it later.

Re: EDuke32 snapshot thread
Quote:
I've been playing around with that but it doesn't seem to be returning the wall ID. I can clearly see my actor get "pushed" into the wall from the movesprite command (so its not already touching the wall) but the return value seems to always be a really, really low negative number (lower than -2) I thought that perhaps maybe wall IDs are in negative so I altered my code to work with that but it turns out that regardless of what wall it bumped it would always get the ID of the first wall of the first sector so I'm thinking that the so called "obtained ID" isn't an ID at all and the game is just using the default (first of the first sector) wall when its been told to look at a non existing one. As for the lower than -2 number it gets, I would have thought that would have been a dummy number it returns when it doesn't bump into anything but I would have expected that to have been exactly "-1" since all the other commands return -1 upon a fail. So basically, the movesprite command doesn't seem to be obtaining the wall ID of the wall it bangs into and instead gets a strange number which clearly isn't the wall ID. What am I doing wrong for it to not do that? |

Re: EDuke32 snapshot thread
Yea, I noticed that
.I am currently rebuilding the installer as I found out the uninstallation did not work properly. Obviously only find the error after finishing the upload to the ftp server. ---------- Post added at 07:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 PM ---------- Also noticed that installing eduke32 to the Program Files folder on vista is not such a good idea due to the virtual store being used. Don't feel like making the uninstaller have to worry about that so I will be changing the default install dir to c:/duke3d just like the retail duke 3d installer instead. |
