Meaning there aren't any changes in FRED from the last build, so there's no need to upload a fresh copy.

Nice, stable build. Also the game seems to load much faster.

Damn great!!!

I'll test it asap.

Exelent

It halved my loading times (though i haven't played with it yet)

[Pnakotus]

I still have the splash mis-sizing problem: I'm in regular old DX8 1024x768, and the 'original' loading screen works fine (with the GTVA symbol and the loading bar), but the SCP and TBP splashes are 'too big' for the screen, and the TBP load screens have the same issue.

cmdline : fs2_open_G-20050719.exe -spec -glow -jpgtga -nomotiondebris -2d_poof -rlm -nobeampierce -dualscanlines -ship_choice_3d -targetinfo -orbradar -3dwarp -tbpwarpeffects -snd_preload -env -alpha_env  -ambient_factor 60 -allslev

I'm not sure if anything useful would show up on a debug spew, but I can post one if anyone needs it.  Apparently it's a known issue but I couldn't find the thread for it.

[Jokke_r]

hmm i don't get an error anymore during load of OGL mode but most of the time the game crashes upon loading of missions (well i only tried it in TBP), in the techroom in TBP the models show with speculars working on my r9800Pro but selecting various models ( i don't know if it is completely random) the game freezes completely (background music continues playing but sometimes after waiting awhile i get a bsod and only way out is to force boot.

I'm hoping for a working OGL mode since apparently you guys haven't gotten speculars working on ATi cards in D3D which would also be a nice alternative

[Fenrir]

Seems good. It just keeps screwing up the textures and crashing for me, but that's what I get for running the game with a below standards card. >_>

[Fury]

Could we pretty please have a new build compiled which has the changes WMC made to $Hull Repair Rate and $Subsystem Repair Rate? Ta.

[Goober5000]

Taylor has a few fixes of his own going in.  As soon as that's all done this thread will be updated.

[Col. Fishguts]

Good, stable build (although I've seen faster builds). Here are some bugs I found while playing TBP 3.2

- In the ship/weapons selection screen, ships/weapons that shouldn't be available are there with 999 pieces each.

- When I die, the camera is inside my ship, instead of outside looking at my ship.

- A lot of in-mission voice messages are omitted.

- What happened to the default turret positions (dorsal turrets forward/ventral turrets backward) ?

As for the non-standard-res stuff, a lot has been fixed
All the following points refer to running the game in 1280x1024.

- In briefings, ship icons get displayed correctly, but the text labels and lines are still misplaced. Example

- Something that's present for a while in the newer builds. While the interface get's nicely scaled and bilinear filtered in resolutions higher than 1024x768, the filter only get's active after some browsing through the menu.
So, on start-up the menu looks pixelated like this:


Then I go in the techroom and back out, to encounter the menu like this:


I know this is a very minor bug, I thought I'd point it out anyway, because it might be something very easy in the code to fix.


- Some text has "underscores" under the characters.

It's been that way for a long while I think.  I took a quick look at it not too long ago but didn't see any obvious reason why it's doing that.

Don't show up in the HUD or the mission log?  If you are talking about text anyway.  If you aren't do you mean that the entire message, voice, talking head and all don't show?

Works fine for me.  Are you using D3D or OGL mode?  It could be that I missed fixing it properly in D3D.

The D3D/OGL question again?  I haven't seen this under OGL, it sets to the proper filter on init anyway.  If it is OGL then I'm not quite sure what the problem is.

- Some text has "underscores" under the characters.

Should be better if you are using OGL mode, I didn't commit that until after this build.  Not sure what the state of D3D is in this area.  I did copy the UV adjustment code for OGL from the D3D code though.  Are you doing the "Fix GeForce fonts" thing in the Launcher?  If so it would possibly mess up the UV offsets in D3D (OGL doesn't have that same problem).

[FireCrack]

D3D has been doing the underscore thing for a looong time.

The text get's diplayed, no talking head and no sound is played. Sometimes it happens with all messages, sometimes it seems random. That's pretty weird actually...

It happens in both cases ("Fix GeForce fonts" on or off)

I know some of these bugs are old(ish), but I thought I'd list everything up I could find.

Yep, that is weird.  I haven't noticed that before but I'll take a look if I have time this weekend (probably not).

I'm using D3D

Try in OGL and see if it still does it.  I either forgot something for D3D or completely missed committing some code.  OGL is much better supported than D3D at this point so it's probably just something that got missed in the D3D stuff.

Ok.  There will be changes later this year for some of this stuff when various font code changes get made so hopefully it will get worked out then.

Just tested in OGL, and I can say that the filter problem doesn't exist there. But sadly it freezes on mission loading, after "-..-", so I can't say anything about the ingame behavior.

What about the turret default positions ? Is Bobbaus "initial position" code still in there ?

I'll see if I can find what filter setting that D3D needs and make sure it gets called during init too.  The "-..-" should put it early in the model loading stage.  Does it crash or just freeze?  If it just freezes, will it start moving again within 5 minutes?  Try with -novbo and see if it still happens.

EDIT: Oh and it might take a while to let it load, but this build does have the -noibx option to disable use of IBX files.  If it is some strange IBX problem causing this then try that and see if it still freezes.  Note that it will freeze as it generates the index buffer data but just let it do it's thing and it should keep going in a few minutes (complex models could take 3-4 minutes to generate data for).

I don't think anything has changed here.  Bobboau might be a better person to ask though.

Normally it just freezes. With -novbo it CTD's, the same thing happens with -noibx. Both spew the following error log:
