In order to test I haven't broken anything here's a CVS build which also included the parsing alterations needed to support my team loadout changes. (So basically to all intents and purposes it's a CVS build).
EDIT : Updated to the 29th April Build
FS2_Open Release and Debug Builds (http://fs2source.warpcore.org/exes/latest/April2006/April29/fs2_Open_Kara_20060429.rar)
I've also compiled in support for voice synth and voice recognition for those who were missing it (I can't remember if Phreak's CVS builds had support for them but I know that RedMenace's certainly didn't) :)
I'm not saying much on how the team loadout stuff works at this moment cause it's subject to change when I start adding the weapon loadout changes so I don't particularly want people sticking it in their campaigns and then complaining about broken missions later.
-
Awesome ;)
-
Hmmm. I presume from the lack of responses that no one has any new issues with this build?

That, or their computers fried as a result of testing and they are actually unable to respond. :)

I'm using this build, no problems at all so far, running nice with all the mods i have.
I am using the modified starfield modular table that taylor posted and i have the ls_neb.vp file, but in regular freespace 2, still the usual nebulas.... anything I'm doing wrong ? I was under the impression that file plus a recent build would enable the super nice lightspeed nebs in the main campaign.
-
Nope. We need to make new versions of the missions to get those.
-
Okay right... shows how much I know about Freespace.
No it seems to be solidly working, all the problems i've had with freespace (other than the usual quirks) have been solved by the most recent builds.
-
voice recognition still appears to be broken :(
-
I been testing it for a two days and I not found any error.... I have changed the CVS build of my pack to this one...
-

It is? I definitely compiled it in but I don't use it so it's hard for me to test. Does it not work at all? Does it work with an older build?
-
damn guys, how often do you guys come out with new builds?
-
Is that suprise (:eek2:) or sarcasm (:rolleyes:)? Sorry, see I can't see your face.
They come out with them anywhere from every day to ~ a month between builds.

I got a failed to load resource... and failed to init voice rec trying to use voice recognition. I have installed the SAPI 5.1 SDK.

CannonFodder spotted an error that causes the 25th build to crash out if you swap mods to a campaign which doesn't contain the ships available by default in the old mod's campaign file.
This (http://fs2source.warpcore.org/exes/latest/April2006/April29/fs2_Open_Kara_20060429.rar) build should fix it.
Apart from fixing that bug there's very little that's new in there since no one has committed anything since the last build.
-
Voice Recognition still broken in this new build. Seems to have been broken since February 22nd in CVS.
-
I'll take a look and see if I can figure out what broke but to be honest it's pretty far from the code I've looked at previously so I doubt I'll have much luck.

what he said :)
honestly, give voice rec a try, its a great feature, works quite well after some training and is something different that sets FS2_Open apart (when its working)
-
Well, it's kind of hard to when you need to use a post April 15th build to accommodate some of the more recent changes and you want to use things like -img2dds that were broken in the 3/23 build that redmance still has up. I'd like to see a new build optimized for SSE like before, but what you can do.. i dont' have the time (or a free dev platform) to build it myself.

I get an error about f_shockwave.pof or something, can't find model file
(I just installed the Delta media VPs from scratch (deleted old ones) before I tried this build)
It also complained about t_shockwave.pof as well
Copying shockwave.pof from mediavp and renaming to f_shockwave and t_shockwave and plopping in models dir of data directory got it to work
Enabling cheats caused a crash in New_Lamassu something (didnt get a chance to look at the extension)
-
It's a missing pof file.
Either way these are all media VP issues so take a look at the 3.6.8 delta release thread as the answer is probably in there.

You'll want to use the real f_shockwave (check out the shockwaves thread for a download) or you'll get huge explosions everytime a fighter dies... which will be annoying.
-
Okay, but the game still crashes demanding New_Lamassu.pof if I enable cheats. (WTF is a Lamassu?)
-
It's the updated pof model for one of the missiles. I got the same error until I added the missing files from my Shrouding The Light folder where they happened to be lurking for some reason.
No idea why they aren't in the media VPs though. They really should be.

Hello. First off, thank you for FS_Open, it's a lovely piece of software. [thumbs up]
Okay, so i'm posting this here since (according to Karajorma) the May 9th build is apparently not much different. When using this April 25th build...
(in OpenGL, on Win98SE with DX8.1b, on a PIII 1.2GB with >400MB RAM and Radeon 9200)
...the game loads a mission smoothly, but then freezes during gameplay and will not resume. It happens totally at random. The OS doesn't crash with it. The freeze happens both in fullscreen and windowed modes. The debug spew ends with "TIMER ROLLED!" as the last entry.
Oddly enough, a search on the forum uncovered an earlier thread from October of last year:
http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?PHPSESSID=7cdbf76508ecaed5f528274848979ab7&topic=35691.0
In the thread, MatthewPapa pointed out where the "TIMER ROLLED!" arises in the code of timer.cpp:
-----
QueryPerformanceCounter(&time_tmp);
if ( time_tmp.QuadPart < Timer_last_value ) {
// The clock has rolled!
Timer_base = time_tmp.QuadPart;
mprintf(( "TIMER ROLLED!\n" ));
// Hack: I'm not accounting for the time before roll occured,
// since I'm not sure at what value this timer is going to roll at.
// Time_now = time_tmp.QuadPart;
}
Time_now = time_tmp.QuadPart - Timer_base;
Timer_last_value = time_tmp.QuadPart;
out->QuadPart = Time_now;
LEAVE_CRITICAL_SECTION( Timer_lock );
}
#endif // _WIN32
----
Then taylor responded to him with:
"I highly doubt this is related to video problems. It's definitely an issue with the timer but I can't say why. Possibly some other hardware issue but likely just something between Windows and the system... Oh, you have a dual core CPU? That would most likely be your issue. It's having a fit with QueryPerformanceCounter so I guess we'll have to add that to the todo list, though I'm not sure what to do about it. Off to MSDN I guess... For now I think it will work if you run the game(s) in compatibility mode. If that doesn't help any report back and I'll put this at the top of my list of things to fix."
In my case though, i'm not using a dualprocessor system, so i doubt the "TIMER ROLLED!" error is arising from anything to do with that. And taylor presumably fixed any issues long since then. So, any ideas, anyone? Thanks in advance.

@phreak:
Ah, thank you. i neglected to mention that i was poking at Mantis earlier and was completely lost... the link to it on the forum just led me to the main page which i found undecipherable, and a search there didn't turn up any entries at all. It doesn't help that i'm kind of slow, in technical matters, to begin with... =)
Edit: Er, the Mantis page errored out during signup... ah, nevermind. Brackets are not my friend.
Edit: Okay, so i've read the Mantis page now and i'm up to speed. Thanks again, phreak. It looks like taylor was last working on the bug in February.
Incidentally, i just spent a couple hours reverting to an earlier build from redmenace, the 2/20/06 build, yet i haven't had the crash with it. Is that significant? i'm not sure if i can or should add anything to Mantis as far as comments or not, i don't want to cause clutter...
