Argh Trest! But I've modified that map, and you don't have my version!

I fixed some geometry and stuff...

Well, I guess we can just copy/paste your path nodes into my version of the map when you're done with the pathing? Anyway, you get a thumbs up for the effort.

Oh, okay. Yeah, I'll just copy and paste them over...but upload your map when you have a moment so I can do it sooner rather than later.

Righto, compiled and uploading to the ALPHA folder.

Jonas, for some reason the OGGs don't seem to be playing

I compiled the new DXOgg package, and using it seems to be causing the problem. If you could send me a working version of the compiled package (assuming you have it) I'll update the Alpha straight after work, and then we can post a link here.

Here's DX Ogg and the latest Consys, all compiled and ready to go in the alpha:

trestkon do you have some sort of build script that you run to build the alpha or do you do it manually?

Oh Trest: Download the latest precipitation package from the FTP too. I want snow

I have a NSIS script that I wrote, I basically just change the version number and run it, unless something else needs changing at the time.

lol, I realized I just had my music turned down:p

Anyway, it now has the new consys

It'll be uploaded in 1 hour.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but it's skull-fuckingly hot and I'm all flustered and boiled.

So anyway: is there a dedicated thread to posting 'things we've found in the alpha which are confusing/worth noting/possible errors'?

Post by **Jonas** » Sat Jul 22, 2006 11:45 am

Uhm... no? You can post them here if you like, and if they're outright errors, I know you have access to our bug tracker

What is it?

Post by **DDL** » Sat Jul 22, 2006 1:34 pm

Not errors, per se. Oddities, maybe.

Just slowly playing though and looking everywhere..so I might not have got to some explanations/whatevers yet.

Anyway: why are there invisible flowers on top of the flames in the weird hidden altar thing in Phas's apartment?

Spray can: the one that says 'spray' (possibly): does this need reversing? It's mirrored at the moment, so import with unmirror=1, or reverse the texture? Or is this an in-joke?

The alliance trigger that makes the guards hostile: is it worth resetting that when you leave that 'risky' area, so the guard on patrol in the lobby doesn't always subsequently try to shoot you?

Finally: in the Melk notice on the first bulletin machine: "eachother" should be "each other"

Because of uh... the invisible flower fairies? I'll check it out.

That would have to be a preeeetty weird in-joke. Of course in-jokes generally are, I guess. Yeah it's an error, blame it on Trestkon.

We're actually trying to do this. It works for me and Shane, but others have reported this problem. I'm looking into it.

Ok, more: I'm assuming Phasmatis is somehow set up not to kill me? I shot him in the head (sorry phas), and no matter how much he stabbed me, I took no damage. I even summoned in some other pawns just to check I COULD be killed, which I could (just not by phas). Also, is the run anim a little too fast when he's cloaked and angry (augspeed multiplies by 10!?) This may look ok for long distances, but in close quarters it looks hilarious.

Obviously, this is a personal preference thing, but hey.

Secondly, and probably more importantly: something in the missionscript timer is throwing up accessed nones all the time, which after an hour of play, amounts to a lot of acessed nones. It only does it at the start of the phas map, but every second out in FC.

I think it's to do with the GetInt bits of decrementtimers/istimerdone/etc: maybe if a getbool can't find a flag it reports false but doesn't complain, whereas a getInt that can't find a flag reports 0, but DOES complain. Or something. If that's the case, there's not much you can do, really. Thought I'd mention it anyway.

Oh, and I think you get accessednones in tnmpawnaugmanager.getcombatvalue (presumably if the pawn doesn't have augcombat), but that's minor and hardly worth fixing.

I just have an accessednone phobia (which admittedly often makes my own (horrible) code even more horrible, but hey).

Also, loving it. It's awesome. Just in case you thought I was all annoying criticism.
