I heard that there's a recent version of PCS out with the new features for FS2_OPEN3_3.  Where can I retrieve the copy?

[DTP]

There is slight misunderstanding here.

Kazan CVS´ed PCS for people to download and manipulate
and bobboau started to tamper a bit with the code, but is still getting a unstable build that will crash, if you dont follow some specific schedule of doing things.

search this board, there should be some reference to it somewhere. might even a download link, but remember "unstable".

What else is new...

[Bobboau]

the ustable part
you see PCS has always been very stable

[EdrickV]

The Alliance Sourceforge page has PCS 1.2 which has support for Glowpoints. (Keeping an older version around might be wise though as, currently, it doesn't let you import data from another POF like the 1.1's did.)

the version in CVS is the only version with properly working FS2 Open 3.2 and 3.3 GlowPoints  - i need to get aroudn to poinst a new build in the easy-2-download shizat

oh... and i have an idea where the crashing on shutdown/file change is... why is the question - i don't SEE the bug - i just know what function it is in

[Kazan]

ok.. i've plugged the LEAK - but it's still doing runaway allocation [that upon program termination stops] it was allocating memory at a rate of just over 100megabytes per second on my system!!!!! [rate is most likely framerate dependant]

[Kazan]

hmm interesting.. it's not allocating in RecursiveRenderPOF_BSP

[Kazan]

score!!!! no more runaway memory allocation - and the bug fix also increases performance

[IceFire]

YAY!  Is that available?  I may actually be able to upgrade to the newest version then.  Been sticking with the one just before 3D at the moment...will undoubtedly go upto this one now.

i just uploaded a build to my SourceForge FRS

http://sourceforge.net/projects/alliance/

version is up to date - stamp is "PCS 1.2.4 11-19-2002"

[Kazan]

ok.. here we go - here's the new memory usage

the first little rise you see is POF CS loading - the second one you see is it loading the POF file and initializing rendering - then you can see it's pretty constant

[Bobboau]

I've never gotten it to load texturs at all, were does it look and what are the rules,
also when I open a file and then try to open another it crashes

[Kazan]

i know trying to unload the current file and load a new file crashes - always have - it's a low priority bug

um... it searches your freespace 2 path - VPs included....

[Bobboau]

well I only ever get non-textured mode

my fs directory is in D drive though,
it takes this into acount though, doesn't it?

[Kazan]

it reads the freespace 2 directory from your registry.... if UAPI can find it all my programs can find it

[diamondgeezer]

So... am I best getting the latest build, or should I stick with 1.1 until you get everything fixed?

[Bobboau]

were in the registry
the normal fs entry? (doesn't seem to be a path there)

[Kazan]

should be the normal fs entry.. why don't you have a registry entry?

[Galemp]

Sorry, I'm getting the same problems; stack overflow and crashing on POF save.
