3.6.9 Release Candidate 6
on: August 06, 2006, 05:36:00 pm
http://fs2source.warpcore.org/exes/3.6.9-RC6.rar

Latest CVS off the 3.6.9 branch.  Several minor bug fixes; very few major ones.

Additionally, 3.6.9 release candidates and 3.6.9 final requires additional files, for the appropriate mediaVPs:

FINALLY! I was getting tired of having my shields not recharge......


....you DID fix that right?

I believe that was fixed several weeks ago, with a link posted about halfway through the RC5 thread.

So far everything I've seen is great. The shields recharge, and several graphical problems I noted in Derelict have been rectified.


Before I post these problems though, I would like to say that I am fully aware that they have been answered elsewhere, but for the life of me I cannot find where that thread is.

I get black boxes around some weapons (notably the Subach and Kayser, though there may be others), and also many capital ship engine glows are missing. What to do to fix these?

Did you download the mediavp patches from here.. That is the mp-710 files?

They should replace the alphapatches and are to be used instead of the two alphapatches listed in this thread. With 3.6.8 Zeta mediavps.



BTW...  why are  those two (alphapatches) posted here?

Just gave it a quick whirl - everything works apart from the speech synthesis :(

Edit: Also just spotted that the 'Destroy X seconds before mission start' checkbox in FRED isn't lgetting abelled correctly either... it's showing a incremental adjustment field (?)

Why not? I liked the voice (stupid as it was). Prevented me from having to look up at the top as much.

There always has to be a first time in everything. And this is not the hardest one (neither the funniest one)  ;)
IF YOU HAVE TROUBLES WITH FS2:
  • Please, please, please, READ and UNDERSTAND the sticky threads in FreeSpace & FreeSpace Open Support board.
    A lot of people are willing to help you, but, as anyone can understand, seeing the very same "issues" repeated again and again can become quite depressing. Please, spend a bit of time trying to solve the issue by yourself.
    (Lobo deserves a monument).
  • Then, if you aren't still able to solve your issue, feel free to ask for help in that same board.
    FYI, most of the troubles are caused by wrong mod installations which lead to either missing data or undesired cross-effects between them. Always follow the mod installation instructions and keep a clean FS2 installation as explained in the sticky threads. Two additional links about how the game handles game data:
  • If you think that you've discovered a bug, mantis it.
    Provide as much info as you can, and try to narrow it down. A lonely "FS2 doesn't work" is not a good report.

Did you include changes from your "light-test-builds" or did you leave the lighting system allone (i.e. because of the code freeze)?

Not compiled in != Gone. Don't worry, the final release build will surely have all the bells and whistles :)

I hope so the speech synthesis was a useful tool for campaign writers.

It's not a code issue, it's a .rc issue.  Most likely due to my recent interface edits.  Changing the tab order or load order or something should fix it.

please compile synthesis support next time. I can understand not compiling synthesis support for CVS builds, but it really should be in the Release Candidate branch. Is it a matter of not having the SDK ?

It's a matter of convenience.  And it is enabled in the release branch, just like in the main branch.  It will be in the 3.6.9 release as well.  Whether it's included in a release candidate is up to the person compiling it.
