Woooo! ;7


First "error" to point at: The readme has a small mistake on crediting planets to me. They are still all Lightspeed's, but at this point there's no sense in changing the readme file since it would need re-making the torrents and everyone probably just wants to get their grubby paws on these VP's...

Well, thank you all very much for this, it came out before I could even realize!!!! :nod: :nod:

I shall start using this ASAP, never a better moment to re-start FS2 campaign than when new vp's come out, looking forward to see the quality in this (and hopefully my computer wont implode from it  :lol:)

Thanks again to all of you for your hard and dedicated work (:

Awesome! :D It's waaaay too late for me to get started with these things now, but I'm getting these torrents running the moment I wake up.  I can't wait to see the whole package in action.  This is totally going to spur me towards finally getting a new video card; I need to be able to drool over those normal maps. :p

(Oh, and newsified. :))

Since they never really got full release threads, here are some (there are others) HTL ships that are new or newish to the FS scene. :D

The new Aten:

(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/VA--Twisted_Infinities/FSU%20Screenshots/screen0153.jpg)

(Wooo! Total secret eh? :p )
I finished it about March, and was thinking the release was around the corner for most of the year. :\

New Amazon:

New Amazon Adv:

New Uly:

New Pharos:

New Iceni:

New Horus:
(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/VA--Twisted_Infinities/FSU%20Screenshots/screen0151.jpg)


And something that took me AAAAGES to get to the stage its in now, the new warp:
(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/VA--Twisted_Infinities/FSU%20Screenshots/screen0164.jpg)

There's a different effect for the knossos warp that is no longer just a teal version of the standard one too.

Anyway - those are some of the things to look out for, but my no means all of it! Check out the new beams, the new maxim, the new asteroids, the new thruster flames, new starfield skybox and more. :)

[edit] downloading now and will seed once we actually get a non-closed torrent.

What's wrong with demonoid?

I think starting the download would work better earlier on, given that it's somewhat large, rather than setting everything up first. Computers (with a sufficiently modern operating system) can multitask.

Okay, I've tested these new ones for a few missions of the default campaign, so I thought I should post (for the first time, I think  :p ) some observations.

First things first, the new HTL models are amazing, as usual  ;) , and the normal mapping adds even more layers of greatness to the models. Heck, it even makes some of the old models look decent  :yes: .

I was a bit unsure about the new warp effect at first. I thought it looked like the texture was missing and the default one was used instead. But when I really looked at the texture it blew my mind.

Some things that I noticed, in no particular order: (This was the MV_Complete package)


And I don't know if it's a MediaVP problem or a build problem, but I can't seem to get 2D shockwaves (I'm using the nightly r4983 build right now)

Title: Re: RELEASE: 3.6.10 Media VPs
Post by: Herra Tohtori on December 09, 2008, 08:10:13 am
2D shockwaves missing is a code issue. I did a little test with older build (in fact, the one which introduced "Enable 3D shockwaves" -option) and it worked correctly - not selecting the option showed the 2D shockwaves. Conclusively, the MediaVP's doesn't have anything to do with this particular problem. Obviously something has changed in the code since the introduction of this cmdline flag that makes the option unworking.

Although FSUpgrade has no control over this kind of issues, it obviously makes it clear that r4985 nightly build is, after all, not as recommendable as it should have been, but it's basically an SCP issue, not a problem with the VP's. The best solution is probably to wait for a nightly build where the issue is fixed.


The issue with nameplates blacking out is related to shaders, which - although a set of them is distributed within the MediaVP's - aren't exactly something that belongs on FSUpgrade turf either. They are basically snippets of code that the engine uses to modify lighting based on the actual game media. It's possible that if a good solution is achieved, there'll be a set of shaders that can simply be used to override the ones inside the MediaVP's, but that solution needs to be found first. Apparently there might also be some differences in how different drivers and hardware work together with the shaders and the FS2_Open code, as for example Zacam apparently hasn't encountered this problem with these shaders... and there's been some other graphical issues that appear on some systems and are absent on others, depending on different settings - which makes troubleshooting a tad bit difficult, understandably.


Talking of strange elusive bugs - if and when you see flickery flecks hanging in space after thrusters, they are not FSUpgrade issue either. We don't actually know for sure what causes them to appear; on my PC they appear if I enable full screen anti-aliasing on NVidia control panel, while on Zacam's PC they appear when he enables anisothropic mip filter optimization, so it's a bit inconclusive what exactly makes them appear but it would appear that it's not a media issue but instead something related to graphics drivers, the FS2_Open code, or both. I believe I speak for the whole FSU team when I say that it is one of the more frustrating glitches we've encountered when ironing this stuff out... :ick:


Anyway, it's a good sign that there has apparently not been anything gamestoppingly horridly wrong in the VP's... yet. :nervous:

r4936 - which was the one that introduced the feature. Didn't bother to find out yet which revision screwed things up though.

EDIT: It appears as though r4981 screws it up by adding a fallback to 3D when 2D effect is not present. Obviously it doesn't do that right, since thre is a 2D effect present but it fallbacks to 3D regardless of that...

You mean the flickering things behind secondary thruster glows, right? I was also encountering them while working on TBP thrusters glows. I think it has something to with the way the engine handles UV transformation on the secondary glows, because the flickering things seem to be remnants of the glow image wrapped around (in UV space) to the other end of the glow. I know this sounds confusing, but what I mean is that if you make the left-most row of pixels in the glow image (the left side is the one near the thruster) completely black, the flickering disappears.
So I think that left-most row of pixels somehow ends up partially on the other end of the effect ingame, maybe due to some rounding error in the UV transformation process ?!?

Oh we've tried that. In fact the thrusters in these VP's do have that one pixel buffer zone on their left edge but while it seems to reduce the flickering, the bloody thing still appears in certain conditions which seem to largely depend on the positions of moon and the planets as far as we can tell. It's a very inconsistent persistent bug, the worst kind of bug possible.

And regardless, fixing code/driver bugs by editing content is pretty much analog to breaking web pages to make Internet Explorer show them correctly - not a good idea in general... :nervous:
Title: Re: RELEASE: 3.6.10 Media VPs
Post by: Col. Fishguts on December 09, 2008, 09:23:36 am
Ah ok, then we're all equally stumped ;) And I agree that it should be solved code-wise, because it shouldn't happen in the first place, even when the left edge pixels are not black.

Hashes are correct, and they match the ones posted on the first page. It's only the Shivan beams that are freaking out.

On the other hand, terran and vasudan beam effect edges appear too big for the beamglows, as I can see those edges. But the Shivan ones are more serious than that...

Post by: Herra Tohtori on December 09, 2008, 10:06:02 am
Yeah, looking through the MV_Effects.vp reveals some irrelevant files that have slipped through the net (unused shivan beamglow [S_BeamGlow.dds] and terran beam textures beam-green*) as well as a bunch of ani files that still aren't converted to EFF/DDS format... Oh well, work to do for the future MediaVP's. :rolleyes:

What comes to those strange faint boxes, I'm not sure what's up with them. Certainly they aren't ideally made effects, but I can't help but wonder if they are still intentionally as they are, even despite the, eh, strange design. In-game they are only visible if you stop the game and look real close at the weapon effects; otherwise they create a faint glow.

I'm leaving this for someone who has done something with the weapon effects before and perhaps even knows what's going on with them.

The Shivan beam looks like some texture gets consistently corrupted during caching for some reason I can't really fathom. The files are intact on the VP, since hashes match, but something goes wrong during the process from HD to display, but what exactly causes it is a difficult question...

Sadly, the downloads don't support the resume option. This is bad because I'll never be able to DL big files without experiencing any connection problems that force me to restart the DL. :(
ever heard of torrents or download managers?

People (Rick James, SF-Junky, ...) having issues with shivan beams... Post your graphics card info as well as graphics driver version (if possible) here.

If you do not know it then use the launcher to select a debug build, run it once (up to main hall should be enough). Quit the game. Search for a file named 'fs2_open.log' and attach it to your post or post it within 'code' tags.

 :lol:


Well... none of us testers have had anything like what ShadowGorrath's screenie demonstrates. It's pretty bizarre to have one single effect (group, probably just a single texture used by many beams) getting consistently corrupted when the file itself is perfectly intact on the VP.

You're right, the mediaVP's have probably evolved to have some sort of sapience and sense of tradition... :shaking:

I tried with Star Downloader with the mirror links. I don't think I can use FSMods and Star Downloader at the same time(it'll surely end up DLing the link pic and not the file itself).

(http://theducks.org/pictures/cosmic-rex-excuse-me-wtf-r-u-doin.jpg) (http://www.freespacemods.net/files/MVP3610/)

Go to the page where the downloads are linked (press the image).

Copy the download link(s).

Paste into your DL manager. Commence downloading.


Or, just copy the FSMods download links from the opening message of this thread... They are direct links to the files.

The shivan beam issue looks like it could be corruption of the animation in the beam itself - the shivan beams are the only ones that use an EFF in their firing. I would suggest trying it again without MV_Advanced and see if the same thing happens.

If multiple people are experiencing this, then my guess is that it's a corrupted file in the upload of MV_Advanced. Those of you experiencing issues, which method did you use to download? MV_Complete through FSMods or torrent, or the individual files through FSMods or torrent?

I downloaded the FS mod individual files, and I can confirm there's no such beam issue with that ones MV_Advanced. :)

Anyway, I'll be away for the next 4 days, so I'll have to let the others sort it out.

I just downloaded and tested the mv_complete pack and all the beams seem to be working fine. Also, the new builds are getting really efficient. Last time I tried playing with adveffects I was lagging all over the place and now it's going very smooth. I <3 the SCP and FSU people.

PS: The new warp effect is made of pure win.

I believe the problem occurs when Advanced is not in use, based on what ShadowGorrath told in #hard-light.

Yeah, and I can vouch that no such issue happens without the Advanced either, but there it is on some people's systems...


Mysteriously, the files in question seem to be perfectly all right on the MV_Effects.vp, but something happens that corrupts the Shivan beam effects after or perhaps while they are cached to system ram and/or video ram. I have no idea what could cause such a specific corruption. :confused:

Title: Re: RELEASE: 3.6.10 Media VPs
Post by: chief1983 on December 09, 2008, 02:59:56 pm
I've been using the SVN checkout and not the VPs, so I'm guessing I have advanced in use myself, and have yet to see it, so I can't rule out that it doesn't exist for me at all.  I'll try it without advanced later.

Post by: Vasudan Admiral on December 09, 2008, 03:10:26 pm
Can't say for the missile trails as I didn't work on those, but the nameplate issues are a problem with the shaders that we couldn't fix. :(

The Non-Advanced beams work just fine for me as well - so if it is a corrupt upload, it's not in the FSMods individual files.

The cain/lilith are as Lightspeed released them AFAIK.
Title: Re: RELEASE: 3.6.10 Media VPs
Post by: Galemp on December 09, 2008, 03:22:01 pm
I can confirm that all missiles are using the same gray trail--even the Stiletto, which shouldn't have a trail at all!

In mv_effects-wep.tbm in MV_Effects every single missile has their trail set to MissileTrail01. Who did this and why? :mad:

On the bright side, the wibbly wobbly Knossos warp is wonderful.

nameplate issues

Not talking about the nameplates, I'm talking about the names of the ships in the missions. In the previous versions of the MVPs, at least the betas and 3.6.8 zetas, the Aquataine, for example, was just called Aquataine, GTD Hecate. Now they're back to (I think) original, i.e it says GTD Aquataine, GTD Hecate.

I don't know if that was intentional or not.

Hmm, that's weird. I checked the beta MVPs and they're switched around now. The Cain is now the armoured looking one and the Lilith is the black looking one.

Edit: The models themselves haven't been changed, only the mv_models-shp.tbm file

I played that mission without a problem. Like blowfish suggested, make sure you don't have other models in your data folders if you're using the same mediavp folder that you did with previous versions. What I would do is delete the mediavps/data folder entirely to make sure there aren't any conflicts with older files lurking in there (your saves are in the main directory's data folder so they won't be deleted).

Please run the fs2_open_3_6_10d-20081207_r4985.exe, try loading the offending mission, then locate the ..\FreeSpace2\data\fs2_open.log file and post it (either in code tags or as an attachment).


StrayFender: Since you're already running the debug build, do the same: post the debug log (NOT errorlog.txt, it's helpfulness is minimal at best). Also, you could try running the non-debug build, (which is named fs2_open_3_6_10r-20081207_r4985.exe), and/or simply try clicking OK to get past the error. Null moment of inertia errors usually don't crash/stop the game even on debug builds, and release builds typically don't even tell you about them, but you should also check that no old Ravana models are around... (check the root directory for extra VP files, and the ..\FreeSpace\data\models [and other subdirectories] for rogue model files)

I played that mission without a problem. Like blowfish suggested, make sure you don't have other models in your data folders if you're using the same mediavp folder that you did with previous versions. What I would do is delete the mediavps/data folder entirely to make sure there aren't any conflicts with older files lurking in there (your saves are in the main directory's data folder so they won't be deleted).

ok. I deleted the VPS/data folder
the mission now runs fine
thanks for the help (to all)

well I see all the upgrades correctly, the only thing that I've noticed (maybe it's because of some trouble with my pc) is that the fighters the cap ships and everything seems to be somewhat... slow to earlier versions of media vps... but maybe it's just my imagination.

and

for the release of 3.6.10. to run efficiently requires the download of launcher 5.5d?

Heh...I run at 30fps flat now instead of 60. oh well.

Also, the Shivan Secondaries tbm is killing my mod.
I want them there, because they're awesome, but I have custom weapons that my Shivans mount, and the tbm just wipes out all of them from the default...I don't want to go through every mission in FRED and fix them - its time consuming. How can I stop the tbm from overwriting my table edits?

Shouldn't your mod's tables have a higher priority than the mediavp ones?
What, exactly, have you changed?

Add another TBM in your mod that overrides the mediavps.

When you select your mod as primary shouldn't that override any other file that fs might find? so If your mod is primary then the table that it should use is the one in the mod, and if it doesn't find it, then it should use the secondary which I'm guessing is the mediavps.

... yes I think Im lagging XD but the thing is that it seems to frack with the missions also... I'm hearing chatters I've never heard before in the retail campaign such as in the mission where the colossus is deployed for the first time, in the misison when you first see the knosos and the training simulator for the perseus...I think in that I was invulnerable this time... I remember just as if it was like yesterday that in that simulator you could get damaged.

Well, AFAIK, 3.6.10 in multi has been saving stats properly for validated missions... well, maybe not if you use MVP's :b
I guess we just need to wait for confirmation about this matter, but I hope it's not too far away.

Though, i might as well keep playing with vanilla only, i don't need more added lag  :ick: but the eye candy! :shaking: i'm in a dilema

Well, asteroids will probably drain some amount of performance no matter how efficient they are.  But the current asteroids are a lot better than the beta ones in this respect :)

Step 3: Set up the mediavps mod directory

If it does not already exist, create a new folder called "mediavps" in your Freespace 2 install folder, and place the MV_*.vp files in there.
So, if you installed Freespace 2 to "C:\Games\FreeSpace2" then you would place these Media VP files into "C:\Games\FreeSpace2\mediavps"

Next download the following components and place them in your newly created mediavps folder:

    * Readme
    * Mod.ini
    * Launcher Graphic

UnQuote"

OK, instead of a download file, these three just pop up as another Web page. The readme I can deal with, the BMP image too, but the Mod.ini I can't as that should be a file and not a web page.

Where is the real file?

Too right. The Ulysses looks like something out of a 2008 game. Quite a few of the ships do, in fact.

You've really outdone yourselves this time, guys. Freespace is new again. And it's visually consistent! With a handful of exceptions, what hasn't been HTL'd has been normal mapped, and I'm very glad to see the ugly balloon-float effect we were seeing with some of the early normal maps seems to have been resolved.

I've been holding off on replaying the main campaign for a long time, but this has finally convinced me. I'm up to The Sixth Wonder - haven't noticed a single error so far.

Congratulations to everyone involved.

Yeah, seriously. And that would be me. It's all good though. :-)

Missile Trails: Yes. They are grey. A default upgrade Effect was intentionally selected rather than sort through all of the available effects (which were not seriously all that great to begin with as they looked to be straight DDS conversions of retail like effects, not Upgrades) to have something that at least WORKED and didn't have display or color issues. Who wants a puke green trail from firing a Cyclops? I don't.

We are more than happy to resolve this by creating a more diverse set of effects, but frankly, we wanted people to have something that worked as advertised with as little potential aesthetic issue as possible.

Ship Names: The inconstancy between calling a ship "GTD Something" in one mission and then in the very next calling it "Something" bothered the hell out of me. And since more missions than not followed the "GTD Something" they ALL got  Class type prefacing the Name. Plus, the nameplates already document the Class followed by the Name as established in previous VP sets, so it just made for a better overall consistency factor as well.

Flickering/black Nameplates: Could be resolved in the fragment shaders, but it breaks them by doing so. This is an issue that will have to be resolved in another way. At the least, the effect is less pronounced than it used to be as far as I can tell.

Shaders: SM3.0 is required. SM2.0 MIGHT work, but yer on your own. OpenGL will work, but SM3.0 and OpenGL 2.0 are the current supportable recommendation. OpenGL 1.5 is when GLSL was introduced and it may or may not support everything that SM3.0 wants. If you don't have SM3.0 support on your card and you insist on not Disabling GLSL, then the artifacts are all yours. Until the engine can support the full dynamic range of SM's and do it well, this is the current compromise to at least getting it working in some fashion so that it can be improved. This isn't to say that nothing about the shaders isn't being done or tried, because that is not the case. I hate this problem and other related problems with a passion because they make NO SENSE and I want them gone so bad I can taste it. If it really comes down to it, we may have to separate and define the shaders based off the hardware being used by first diversifying them into "ATI Shaders" and "nVidia Shaders" to start and going from there.

-height: There are no height maps any more. The cost of having them and their loading outweighed any benefit of the results and it was collectively decided to have away with them. Should this change, they can be reinstated or made available separately. The only real use they have is in making the normal maps.

Mod's and Mediavp's: Done right, any table edit will over ride the MVP's. So, for example, if you have an issue where you have to specify different secondary load outs to have shivans use other than the MVP secondaries, guess what? That is what you do. It is what we had to do to see to it that Campaign missions where a "default" load out not being specified maintained consistency by still using those shivan secondaries. The other option: Editing every mission that assumed a default load out into using a specified load out. If you make your table and it over rides the MVP ones, the default will now be the ones you specified in your table. If we left it up to having to edit every shivan load out in every mission to use a shivan secondary, you wouldn't have shivan secondaries except as models and textures. Or certainly not in this release.

Shockwaves: Okay, I am stumped. This completely blindsided me. I knew changes occurred in the code handling to accommodate some stand alones, but I did not figure on it doing this. We're working on it as quickly as we can. Right? Right?

Torrents: I provided pages for the demonoid for those that had registered access, and DIRECT "this will open in your torrent and download whether you are a member or not" links and I URGE people to host in other trackers and let me know so that I can update the Seed. It worked for the TBP DVD release, I fail to see how it cannot work here as well. (And this torrent hasn't been active for weeks, not even a full day as of now)

Cain/Lilith swap: Actually, this is a correction to what it was supposed to have been to begin with, but it just hasn't been corrected until now. Sorry for the confusion folk, but it is as it should be, even if it is not entirely expected.

And finally: Thank you in any case for your patience and your feedback here. Thank you for the thank yous, thank you for the issue reports and just in general thank you for being here and keeping things going.

(Note: I am not attempting to single out any individuals in my outlining of the issue above, but the issues themselves directly. So please, don't take the above as a personal direction against you, but rather at the fact that the problem exists. If you still feel that how I have outlined or addressed them is in some way a little abrupt, personal (or too impersonal) then accept my apologies as this is not my intention.)

Are you referring to a Hecate in Blue Planet, or in a mission in the FS2 Campaign? If FS2 Campaign, no, not intentional, moar details please!. If Blue Planet: may not have been included or using texture replacement in the mission to show one.

If you do not know it then use the launcher to select a debug build, run it once (up to main hall should be enough). Quit the game. Search for a file named 'fs2_open.log' and attach it to your post or post it within 'code' tags.

At chief's suggestion, I'm going to post a link to a particular bug (http://scp.indiegames.us/mantis/view.php?id=1789) I've been experiencing intermittently while using the 3.6.10 beta and final MVPs for a long while now with a variety of builds.  I'm working on the assumption that it's most likely specific to my hardware, but if any of the FSU team has any input on it, I'd be glad to hear it.

People (Rick James, SF-Junky, ...) having issues with shivan beams... Post your graphics card info as well as graphics driver version (if possible) here.

If you do not know it then use the launcher to select a debug build, run it once (up to main hall should be enough). Quit the game. Search for a file named 'fs2_open.log' and attach it to your post or post it within 'code' tags.
Radeon X1600/X1650 Series. Driver version 8.501.0.0 from June 2, 08.

When I use a debug build, I still get those stupid errormsgs, I've been getting since I switched to 3.6.10. So I can't launch the game on debug.

I still think you've got a rogue table somewhere.  I forget have you started from scratch with just the base files and tried running debug then?  Just create a new folder and move only the minimum necessary stuff over to it, the retail VPs, executables, and the launcher.  Then try debug.

One small question, and forgive me if this has already been answered, but does this mean that

3.6.10. when played in multiplayer WILL save stats?

and

for the release of 3.6.10. to run efficiently requires the download of launcher 5.5d?

Well, AFAIK, 3.6.10 in multi has been saving stats properly for validated missions... well, maybe not if you use MVP's :b
I guess we just need to wait for confirmation about this matter, but I hope it's not too far away.

Though, i might as well keep playing with vanilla only, i don't need more added lag  :ick: but the eye candy! :shaking: i'm in a dilema


i tested last night "multiplayer" and you still get a hacked tables and stats dont save with mediavps on ....but its oh so pretty

Heh. If you can, due to a complete total mistake on my part, try the FSMod or Sectorgame links and grab either Complete+Music, or the individual VP's.

If the question is facetious, don't forget to download the correct mv_music.zip (even if you are getting MV_Complete Uber VP).

And if you are doin the taw-rents and know or access any other torrent sites, add this to the trackers and let me know. The more the merrier. :-)

Seems to me that when you go into the tech database and select the Orion, it freezes (the Orion is shown but does not spin and nothing works) but the music still continues to play. I always FS2 close it in task manager when that happens. If there are really that many bugs in this official release, should it have been tested more before release? I start to think: why the heck would an official release have as many problems as I have been skimming across in this thread?

There are usually (practically always) some issues with everything new that is released to public simply because test platforms are limited in a project like this - we simply don't have resources to test everything on every combination of operating systems, software and hardware. So far it seems that most reported issues happen with some (older) hardware (which explains why that kind of errors weren't spotted in the testing process), and some are resulting from rogue files messing things up (computers are like that, you put bad data in, you get bad results out).

In fact, I'm relatively happy that there haven't been more problems than have been reported.

As far as your issues with Orion go, I would recommend the following troubleshooting procedure:

1. First try things with just mediaVP's activated, not any additional campaigns/mods. If the Orion still freezes the game, go to 2. If not, inspect the Orion related mods in the campaign you are trying to run. Also check the ..\FreeSpace2\data\*\ directories for Orion-related models and tables.

2. Check that the MV_Assets.vp hash matches with the provided hash, to confirm that the file you have on your mediavps folder is intact. Sometimes an individual file can corrupt during extraction (this happened once in our testing process, causing great confusion to a team member trying to figure out why a model was not working correctly), so if the hashes don't match, first try re-extracting the file from the 7zip file. If hashes match and problem still exists with using simply the mediaVP's as the mod and with no rogue data around your installation, go to 3.

3. Run a debug build, reproduce the crash/hang/error and post the fs2_open.log file (in ..\FreeSpace2\data\ )

The debug log will tell you what data the game finds and uses, as well as how your hardware deals with the data it's given.

I am using the zpack, 5.5d launcher, and the fs2_open_3_6_10r-20081207_r4985.exe build, by the way. If I encounter any show stoppers or missing models, I will have to switch back to 3.6.9 vps. I can't believe it. I like the HTL models a lot but serious bugs are nothing to be happy about. Having 3.6.10 freezing when the Orion appears in the tech database and models being used in the ships selection menu causing the game to freeze is not a good sign and is worrysome.

There are no 3.6.9 MediaVP's; the previous demi-official MediaVP release was 3.6.8zeta, which was patched with alpha fixes to various effects and ended up as the most stable mediaVP basis for the SCP 3.6.9 builds.

Gamestopping bugs are obviously a cause of grave concern, but having problems with a single specific model gives me an impression of something else than mediaVP's being wrong on account of that particular model. Model integrity has been one of the points that have been pretty rigorously emphasized in our testing.

I am currently in the middle of the What If - The Great War campaign when I switched to these vps. I hope that isn't affecting it and I hope the fact that I'm not using normal maps is not causing that. I want to use the HTL versions, not old normal maps.

Not using normal maps shouldn't affect things. If your GPU can't use the GLSL shaders, it doesn't use them; if it can you can still not use the -normal flag and the normalmaps will be ignored.

Third party mods built to depend on now-obsolete MediaVP resources can have problems playing nice with new mediaVP's. That shouldn't be a surprise. Things that are built based on how things worked on 3.6.9 builds and 3.6.8zeta VP's may or may not have issues with 3.6.10 builds and VP's, depending how deep the dependancies are and how radically things change between versions. Our testing priority has been on compatibility with retail campaign partly because the project is, after all, FreeSpace Upgrade, and partly because we simply don't have the resources to test every campaign as well.

Most things *should* work without gamestopping errors. We try to maintain a level of consistency but this is a major overhaul of the VP structures and content, and we can't keep everything to work to exactly same specs as the previous VP's. If there's a problem with a mod/campaign that relies on 3.6.8zeta VP's, you should use 3.6.8zeta VP's with them and/or report the errors on the campaign's forums and request a patch. FSUpgrade team can't start troubleshooting each third party campaign to work with 3.6.10 mediaVP's, but as individual forum members we'll likely help other modders to patch their stuff to take the most advantage out of new VP's. That process should be done on Modding forum or campaign/mod's dedicated forum, though.


This might sound like Derek Smart style support ("Everything works as intended. It's not a bug, it's a feature. If you have problems, you need to adapt and blah blah blah), but that's just the way it is. We can't support all campaigns/mods that have critical dependancies on older MediaVP's; those campaigns need to update themselves if they decided to depend upon specific MediaVP's in the first place. Independently functional campaigns/mods should work fine with any mediaVP's, as they don't slave themselves to specific resources in specific MediaVP's.

Rant over. :nervous: ;)

Hashes are checksums - series of characters - generated from files to check for file integrity in a quick and reliable fashion. Basically, the data is used in hash generation, and identical data generates identical hashes, so with VERY high possibility two files with identical hashes are identical.

MD5 is perhaps the most commonly used checksum method, but there are others as well... Archiver programs commonly use CRC checks to verify archive integrity. Torrent clients do data integrity checks as part of the transfer protocol so torrents are a pretty reliable way of downloading things as logn as you can use them.

Anyway, you don't need to concern yourself with the hashes as long as you aren't encountering problems; they are useful for hosters mainly, since files can get corrupt during upload, and checking the file's hash is a quick way to verify that the file ended up into it's server location fully intact.

Good God you're *****y. This is the most bug-free MVP release in living memory. The only consistent bugs that have popped up so far are the missile trails and the nameplates, and those are minor aesthetic issues.

I'm not having that Orion bug. Have you checked your mediavps/models folder for any old Orions floating around?

You do know that normal maps make the HTL models look better, not worse, correct? Why would you think that you 'want to use the HTL versions, not old normal maps'? You can use both.

Yeah Max you're acting pretty friggin spoiled and ignorant.  He's right, normal maps add to the detail of the existing models, HTL or not.  And what do you mean you're using the zpack?!  The zpack was from an old VP set wasn't it?  Now, the only thing I can think is that for some reason your side decided it need to regenerate the cache files and that's why it froze on the Orion, but it should have frozen a bit each time you looked at any model.

Well, I wasn't actually answering your question, but instead just informing you that:

1) Every single mod should be in a mod folder.
2) The purdified FS2 stock missions are now included in the MediaVPs and therefore there is no need for a separate vp.

I don't want to seem evul stupid and bad... But "WAT" should we do about this beam problem, guys?


It's an intriguing problem because the files themselves are, apparently, completely intact when examined in the VP so this pretty much blindsided us entirely - there is no immediately apparent reason why one effect would consistently get corrupted in the process of getting the textures from HD to on-screen graphics, but there it is and happening. It's also problematic because as far as I know, none of us team members have been able to replicate it so we don't know what would work on the hardware that is susceptible to the problem, so we don't even know if it's a media problem (if so, table or texture issue), code problem, driver problem or hardware problem.

The fact that it only affects one effect (probably just one texture) makes me think that there's something in the Shivan beam texture files that triggers fail in the GPU, but I don't know what it could possibly be. Basically if I had a rig that could produce the error I would probably have isolated the offending texture already and would have tried to fix it first with a re-save, then with different format and so forth, and if wishes were horses I would eat steak every day.

It's not a bug but it isn't the ideal situation either. It works as intended, but opinions of it may vary. Basic premise is that now the missiles use an upgraded effect (albeit monochromatic) instead of retail effects, but to be honest converting the gray missile trail to different colours would've been nearly trivial if I had noticed the need for them. Expect this to be fixxored in either patch or next version of VP's, whichever we end up doing...


Also, regarding your debug log - I spy with my little eye something more that doesn't belong there:

Code: [Select]
Found root pack 'D:\Games\FreeSpace2\shaders.vp' with a checksum of 0xe13995b9
Unless you really, REALLY want that to be there, I would recommend moving that somewhere else. The mediaVP's have a set of shaders integrated onto them, but if you want to use your own set of shaders (for example to get rid of the blackening nameplates effect), then I would move the shader VP either in with the mediaVP's and name it a_shaders.vp (alphabetical order before the mediavp shaders) which makes tehm override the shaders inside the MediaVP's... but if you don't know for sure what you're doing, just put it somewhere else where it doesn't cause confusion. Apart from the nameplate problem, the shaders provided with mediaVP's really do yield best results to date, mainly because they make environmental mapping take the normal maps into account, which... produces a plenty cool effect. ;7


Also, this definitely shouldn't be happening:

Code: [Select]
Ships.tbl is : INVALID!!!!
Weapons.tbl is : INVALID!!!!
If you're still getting this after removing the ItDoH VP (and Lightspeed and Shader vp though they shouldn't have effect on this), something might be hiding in ..\FreeSpace2\data\tables\ or ..\FreeSpace2\mediavps\data\tables\ directories...


Unrelated to mediaVP's, I'd really love to get an explanation to this:

Code: [Select]
Max elements vertices: 2147483647
...because there's no way in hell that can be true. :shaking: It seems to be something ATi-exclusive...


Regarding the older swirly subspace effect, the one you're looking for is Axem's oldie goldie with the warp.pof having it's UVmap twisted to create a swirly effect... it can be found from here (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,39502.msg853992.html#msg853992), but as the starting message says - you edit things, you're on your own.

Replacing the subspace vortext should be a breeze though, just slap the a_subspace.vp in the same dir as the mediaVP's and it should work just fine.

The thread also has some immortal quotes from takashi a few pages forward from the link. :lol:


Hanyuu271, I quote myself:

Quote
Third party mods built to depend on now-obsolete MediaVP resources can have problems playing nice with new mediaVP's. That shouldn't be a surprise. Things that are built based on how things worked on 3.6.9 builds and 3.6.8zeta VP's may or may not have issues with 3.6.10 builds and VP's, depending how deep the dependancies are and how radically things change between versions. Our testing priority has been on compatibility with retail campaign partly because the project is, after all, FreeSpace Upgrade, and partly because we simply don't have the resources to test every campaign as well.

Most things *should* work without gamestopping errors. We try to maintain a level of consistency but this is a major overhaul of the VP structures and content, and we can't keep everything to work to exactly same specs as the previous VP's. If there's a problem with a mod/campaign that relies on 3.6.8zeta VP's, you should use 3.6.8zeta VP's with them and/or report the errors on the campaign's forums and request a patch. FSUpgrade team can't start troubleshooting each third party campaign to work with 3.6.10 mediaVP's, but as individual forum members we'll likely help other modders to patch their stuff to take the most advantage out of new VP's. That process should be done on Modding forum or campaign/mod's dedicated forum, though.

(...) We can't support all campaigns/mods that have critical dependancies on older MediaVP's; those campaigns need to update themselves if they decided to depend upon specific MediaVP's in the first place. Independently functional campaigns/mods should work fine with any mediaVP's, as they don't slave themselves to specific resources in specific MediaVP's.


My opinion is that unless it's a MediaVP error, it should be solved at FS Modding forum, or campaign/mod's dedicated forum if such exists.

So, you mean things get laggy when you play with 3.6.10 build and normal when you play with 3.6.9 build, or that things get laggy when you use 3.6.10 MediaVP's and normal when you use 3.6.8zeta MediaVP's?

In a nutshell... is it a build related or mediaVP related problem? What happens if you try to use 3.6.8zeta MediaVP's and a 3.6.10 build, as opposed to 3.6.9 build? Did you have similar problems with 3.6.10Beta VP's if you ever used them?

Let me just also say that, I think a few people's expectations of what their machine can do and how little effort they should have to put into using these mediavps is a bit appalling.  I wouldn't blame these guys for refusing to help anyone who doesn't take it upon themselves to at least try turning off a few features, posting a decent amount of hardware information, and making sure they're on a clean install.  There are guides everywhere to how you should set up your installation directory.  If you're having serious problems, just start over.  Move just what you need to a new folder.  Don't bring over pilot files or data dirs or whatever.  Start with retail vp files and cutscenes, the executables, launcher, and then install the new MediaVPs in their own folder.  If you want to use a mod with them, install it into its own folder and make sure that mod's mod.ini file include the VPs with the right name (probably should still be mediavps).

These media vps and the new FSO builds represent one of the biggest graphical jumps the engine has seen.  GLSL is the biggest addition since the switch to OpenGL.  As such, you shouldn't expect to be able to run it on aging hardware.  I'm really annoyed that no one seems to run it with -no_glsl (it's even a checkbox in the launcher) even when requested to, regardless of whether it should help or not.  Try turning it off and seeing if things don't improve.  Know that without GLSL normal maps won't work, but only fairly recent machines are going to be able to run them at all anyway.  So you're not losing much.

Also, get rid of any other shader vp files you might have around when using the MediaVPs.  They include shaders now and any other shader files might be causing problems.

Once it loaded and I clicked on the start to start the mission, I see what you initially see when a mission starts, but then everything freezes accept the music.

Oh and the mission I was using is the very last one before the Capella Star went Supernova. 
I hope ya'll can give me some ideas on what went wrong?

Thanks for all the hard work fellas, you guys rock! :)


Here is what my fs2 Open log says:

First off this new mediavps are awesome.  Although I'm also experiencing the problem with the Shivan beams.  I am using the advanced effects.  I thought this didn't happen when they were in use but I guess I was wrong.

Specs are:

Pentium 4 2.6GHZ with Hyper Threading
Ge Force 5200 FX(latest drivers)(not overclocked)
512 MB of RAM


Aurora Paradox


That's interesting, because it might mean that there's something table-related in the Shivan beams that makes them fail instead of it being simply a texture issue... Could you post screenshot and a debug log about the issue?

Also, using the advanced VP might be a bit ambitious for that kind of hardware.

Are you using a recommended build? That line shouldn't trigger any error if you are. It looks like an error that could happen when an older build doesn't fails at parsing the mission due to unexpected entry. I played that mission through without errors, too. Goober's comment seems to point in that direction as well, and I would be inclined to believe he knows what he's talking about... The latest 3.6.10 build would be Nightly r4989 (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,58258.0.html).

also I also noticed the HTL Zephyrus wasn't included, it's a great model/map job

No, it's not really a great model. It looks good but it uses so many maps that it's a huge performance hog and it probably had more issues than have been reported in this thread yet, so despite valiant attempts at getting it into these VP's we were forced to drop it. It just didn't match the quality criteria, and fixing it properly was more than our resident modeling maestros had resources to do. Ask Vasudan Admiral more details about this if you want to know exactly why the model wasn't included in the final VP's, but rest assured it was a conscious choice, no matter how good the HTL Zephyrus looks (which I agree, it is a cool looking model but unfortunately that's not everything a model needs to be a good model...).

You may be correct.  I can provide a screen shot and a debug log when I have time to go through the mission again.  The beams do appear but they look extremely screwed up.  They appear multi-colored and over sized.  My hardware does quite well.  It does lag here and there but these new mediavps gave me a major performance boost.  More than I could have expected.  EDIT: It should be noted that this happened to me while playing the Derelict campaign and not the main FS2 campaign.  I'm currently on the last mission which is proving to be a challenge.

My Zef was more of an experiment in low-poly modeling with alpha channel maps than anything else. Like VA says, the POF is buggy as hell and causes more problems than it's worth to fix.

A few thousand more polies and some serious debugging of the transparency issues might bring it back up to speed but right now it's unusable.

Of course Herra beat me to it, but I thought you'd appreciate hearing it from the artist.

Pretty decent. It's better than some other sites of greater prestige.

At the rate I'm going, MV_Complete.7z can be done in about an hour.

The betas would've been better if the glowmaps weren't screwy on my MacBook, which has an Intel graphics chipset.

However, since this is probably quite close to a final release, I'm sanguine that it'll work as well as the current 3.6.8 mediavps that are sitting in my computer.

High Max, can you confirm if the MV_Advanced and MV_Music are in MV_Complete?
Title: Re: RELEASE: 3.6.10 Media VPs
Post by: blowfish on December 10, 2008, 09:01:48 pm
MV_Advanced is.  I am sure of that.  MV_Music was an old version, so you will have to get the VP separately.  Though IIRC it is the same version as in the Betas, so if you have that you can just use it.

I sure hope FSMods has enough bandwidth. Geocities got me spooked about overuse of bandwidth many years ago, which is why I worry so much about it now. :blah:

But it has to be an adjective since the words before it indicate that your intended word can't be you calling me something that is a noun. And your word can't be "crazy" since it is sensored and has six letters and can't be "insane" since it ends with a "y".
It was '*****y'. You've got the word filter on.

It sounds serious.
It's not. Not only do you seem to be ignoring the many people who are having no troubles whatsoever, apparently you've forgotten the issues people used to have with previous MVP releases. There are always bugs. It's part of the process. But in this case a majority of the problems people are having seem to be caused by not following instructions - the only significant recurring issue seems to be the Shivan beams. Batutta's right when he says this is the most bug-free MVP release in a long time.

It's understandable that you'd be annoyed that it's not working properly for you right off the bat, but the staff who worked on this are more than happy to fix everyone's problems in this thread. Your attitude is really not helping anyone.

I get annoyed by so many things that I don't even are about getting annoyed anymore. :D

Oh, hey, Ransom, I read somewhere that you did the voice of Mackie in Derelict. Excellent work if that's true.

The betas would've been better if the glowmaps weren't screwy on my MacBook, which has an Intel graphics chipset.

However, since this is probably quite close to a final release, I'm sanguine that it'll work as well as the current 3.6.8 mediavps that are sitting in my computer.

High Max, can you confirm if the MV_Advanced and MV_Music are in MV_Complete?

EVERY thing is in MV_Complete, though I don't know why you are not directing that question to an FSU team member.

And if the animated glow maps are an issue, use the MV_AbolishAnimGlows.vp file to switch them off, that is what it is there for.

OK this is odd now.  Before I had tried running a recent nightly build with the 3.6.10 vp's and it would get very laggy for me.  However with those same vp's I had tried using the 3.6.9 build and it ran smooth as butter.  Other than a couple of models that didn't look as sharp as the rest,  I had better results with using the 3.6.9 build while at the same time was also using the 3.6.10 mediavps.  So now I am certain that whatever issues I had before was definitely a build issue and NOT the mediavps.  So can anyone explain that one for me?

At the moment, I have a very small issue with the light effects off all ships. I had the very same problem with an earlier beta that, for some reason, causes the light to bounce off ships in patches. A couple of images are attached.

If you're running OSX, then that's a known SCP problem with all builds that support shaders.  To date, no one has found the source of it.

Updated release post: Build 4989 (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,58258.0.html) seems to fix the issue with the 2D/3D shockwaves, and I urge everyone to give them a shot an see how they do.

Also, the 3.6.10 VP's have had their Table CRCs submitted and they should live for multiplayer, resolving any "hacked tables" issues.

Nice fix on the asteroids.  :D
Finally I can Derelict protest mission with the 3.6.10 set.

EDIT - Is this a bug because I've noticed that the Terran ship afterburn is similar to the Vasudan ones.

Ooh, great, because I've already downloaded one-third of it in the past twenty minutes. I don't want to see my life go to waste.

I sure hope FSMods has enough bandwidth. Geocities got me spooked about overuse of bandwidth many years ago, which is why I worry so much about it now. :blah:

Don't worry, I have plenty of monthly bandwidth.  I'm just worried my hosting provider may decide "You're filling up our pipes!  We're going to cap your total upload rate!", something they seem to enjoy doing whenever I host important things.  =/  That hasn't happened in a while, so I should be good.

Just downloaded and tried this.

You guys have done such a splendid job on this! And I can't really think of much else to say... except thank you for making this for the community  ;).

Unfortunately, I get hit by the Shivan beam bug too, but it's not too serious in my opinion, and I've seen how I can 'fix' it, so all is good.

Again, great job!

I "fixed" it by extracting the animated beams I had over the new mediavp ones. So they work fine for me now.
What files exactly are those. I'd like to try this as well.

I think these are the adv beams themselves from the old 3.6.10 beta mediavps. They should be named the same, I think.

If some one who still has the beam issue could test the following it might help with the solving the issue. Copy the following to a new file in  <mediavp directory>/data/tables. And preferably remove after the test (regardless if it works or not).

SF-Junky, if you read my earlier post I specifically said to get rid of any other shader files.  You have shaders.vp still in your mediavps folder, you don't need it anymore as the MediaVPs include shaders in the core or assets files I think.  I'm not saying it will fix your problem but you need to do that to make sure.

Doesn't seem to have changed, but since it's working now, never mind!


And I've just discovered another li'll bug: Fred doesn't show the Orion textures. It just shows the "damage" texture. Everything else works fine.

Anyone got any ideas? my post seems to have been lost in the shuffle so reposting it again. Thanks.

OK, I finally got the 3.6.10's installed in a clean FreeSpace2. I launched the game launching the debug version to find out the problems and was able to get all the way to loading up a mission. Once it loaded and I clicked on the start to start the mission, I see what you initially see when a mission starts, but then everything freezes accept the music.

Oh and the mission I was using is the very last one before the Capella Star went Supernova. 
I hope ya'll can give me some ideas on what went wrong?

Thanks for all the hard work fellas, you guys rock! :)

Ok... Mr_Maniac..

For temporary fix (that is to say this one will be included in the patch and should by then be removed) that might be enough to solve the issue... Please try it out and then tell us what happened.

Step 1
Extract the mv_strings-lcl.tbm to <mediavp installation directory>/data/tables

Step 2
Open the file in question with for example notepad (or any ASCII editor) and find string #end from it

Step 3
Replace the string #end with following
Code: [Select]
#end

#German

#end

#French

#end
Step 4
Save changes and try starting the mediavps now

There are couple of things you could try...

First, make sure you are using a new build (from example one of the nightly builds)

Second, make an empty text (ASCII) file to your main data directory (ie. <freespace installation directory>/data) and name it debug_filter.cfg. Run the debug build again until it forces you back to the desktop. Open the rather large fs2_open.log file and post ONLY the last 10 or so lines from it.

OK, went back and made that file, ran the game and everything was OK up to when I clicked start to enter the mission play. As soon as I clicked to enter the mission play, the game locked up. I should point out that the game did not crash to the desktop at all. It just hug up and froze up like I said previously.

That's odd, the SSL should definitely be using weapon effects either in the retail VPs or in the port VP. It could be a priority issue; can you post the contents of the mod.ini you're launching from?

Yes, it was changed. If you have VPVIEW32, you will find two beam fire sounds in sparky_fs2.vp.

/me attempts to convey the function of beam cannon firing in FreeSpace 2 using his incompetence.
Back in retail, when a capital ship is equipped with beam weapons and when the capital ship fires a beam like, say, the BFGreen, a sequence of sounds is created from the beam's charge-up to power-down. It usually consists of an "up" sound, followed by a beam firing sound AND a beam sound, the latter being looped for as long as the beam is firing, and finally a "dwn" sound, so for the BFGreen, you get this sequence in retail on a capital ship:

BT_up_5.wav -> beam_shot1.wav (once) + BT_BFGreen.wav (loop for 4s) -> BT_dwn_5.wav

However, if you were to force a small ship's weapon into a beam, what you get is not a beam, but a small bullet for every gunpoint linked to that beam, and the only sound that comes out is beam_shot2.wav.

What happened in 3.6.10 is that all ships, small and capital, all use beam_shot2.wav, whereas in earlier versions, they use beam_shot1.wav, like the example above.


...unless if you what you meant was that the SRed no longer uses BS_SRed.wav... :nervous:

They changed the Terran afterburner from teal to orange due to popular opinion, if I recall correctly (from hearing stuff around here).

Also, the Shivan beams appear to be a hardware issue, not a Media VP issue. Unless we all managed to get a download that was stuffed at the same place.

Eliex, did you get MV_Complete, or the seperate ones like I did?

I'm having the same issue with the Shivan beams.  Unless Eliex and I have identical hardware configurations I don't think its a hardware issue.  I did not have this problem with the 3.6.8 Zeta mediavps.

Configuration is as follows:

Pentium 4 2.4 GHZ with Hyper threading
Ge Force 5200 FX
512 MB of Ram

I downloaded the separate files for the new mediavps.  Other than this beam issue I've had no problems.  I've attached a screen shot of what the beams look like.  I don't have a debug log though.


Any suggestions on how to fix this?

That looks very similar to an issue I've been experiencing with beams (though not yet with these new VPs, strangely enough) and a variety of ship textures for some time now.  Just out of curiosity, do any of the shots here (http://scp.indiegames.us/mantis/view.php?id=1789) look familiar?

I downloaded the MV_Complete.

Like Aurora, everything else apart from the beams are fine.

This is my hardware configuration:

- Pentium 1.6GHz
- Intel 945GM chipset
- 2GB Ram

I read about a fix on the beams

If some one who still has the beam issue could test the following it might help with the solving the issue. Copy the following to a new file in  <mediavp directory>/data/tables. And preferably remove after the test (regardless if it works or not).

mv_aa_test-wep.tbm

The current theory behind the Shivan beams is DDS texture corruption due to its crazy aspect ratio (4x1024.) We're testing various options now.

POTENTIAL FIX FOR SHIVAN BEAM ISSUES

I would like to request anyone experiencing problems with the Shivan beams to disable Wanderer's table fix in case you downloaded the mv_aa_test-wep.tbm (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,58230.msg1176392.html#msg1176392) (rename it to mv_aa_test-wep.tbm.disabled for example, or move it to somewhere away from your FS2 directory, or just delete it), download these 16x512 resolution (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?yqq5mjmtlzl) textures and paste the three files (SBeamAB, SBeamAD and SBeamAE) into ..\FreeSpace2\mediavps\data\effects\. If that folder doesn't exist, create it.

If you aren't using that particular table fix, just ignore that I mentioned it.

In preliminary test they worked without causing corruption issues for one tester that we were able to get ahold of (thank you ShadowGorrath!) so there's relatively high hopes that the files will work on others as well, but we would like more data to confirm this before we consider the issue fixed.


Technobabble: Basically it would appear that DXT compression has a lower resolution limit that sets the minimum resolution you can use with compressed DDS images. Most modern GPU's can overcome these limits and use smaller files - such as the 4x1024 resolution beam textures - but older GPU's will apparently have trouble with them and require that DXT compressed textures have at least dimensions of 16 pixels or more.

That's why most people have not been having probems with the Shivan beams and it's been limited to fairly old hardware - new GPU's and their drivers have added support for smaller than 16x16 resolution for compressed DDS files. If changing the resolution to 16x512 indeed corrects the problems, then we have another tidbit of information to add to the collective knowledge base and we should make sure to use at least 16x16 sized compressed DDS textures in the future.


EDIT: Instructions cleared up. Also keep in mind that this is still pretty much us testing what works and what doesn't work, it might not be the final fix that we end up using, there's a few options open as far as resolution and compression level are concerned.

I downloaded the MV_Complete.

Okay, that counts it out as a VP problem.

I would like to request anyone experiencing problems with the Shivan beams to disable Wanderer's table fix (rename it to *.tbl.disabled for example, or move it to somewhere away from your FS2 directory, or just delete it), download these 16x512 resolution (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?yqq5mjmtlzl) textures and paste the three files (SBeamAB, SBeamAD and SBeamAE) into ..\FreeSpace2\mediavps\data\effects\.

Which table files are these? I haven't heard of them.

Is there a similar fix available for my issues with the SSLBeam somewhere? I'm still crashing whenever a) I activate cheats or b) the Lucifer appears in a mission and it's blowing up something.

In preliminary test they worked without causing corruption issues for one tester that we were able to get ahold of (thank you ShadowGorrath!) so there's relatively high hopes that the files will work on others as well, but we would like more data to confirm this before we consider the issue fixed.

Those files seem to work fine with me. (Only tested the BFRed, but I assume the others would be all right too.)

Thank you very much.  :nod:

OK.  That folder doesn't exist in my mediavps folder.  Should I just create it?  One other thing how do I disable the Wanderer's table fix?

If a folder doesn't exist, create it.

If you aren't using Wanderer's beam table fix from this message (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,58230.msg1176392.html#msg1176392), you can just ignore that part of instructions.

If you are using that fix, then simply remove the file from ..\mediavps\data\tables\ and it'll not be active anymore.

POTENTIAL FIX FOR SHIVAN BEAM ISSUES

I would like to request anyone experiencing problems with the Shivan beams to disable Wanderer's table fix in case you downloaded the mv_aa_test-wep.tbm (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,58230.msg1176392.html#msg1176392) (rename it to mv_aa_test-wep.tbm.disabled for example, or move it to somewhere away from your FS2 directory, or just delete it), download these 16x512 resolution (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?yqq5mjmtlzl) textures and paste the three files (SBeamAB, SBeamAD and SBeamAE) into ..\FreeSpace2\mediavps\data\effects\. If that folder doesn't exist, create it.

If you aren't using that particular table fix, just ignore that I mentioned it.

In preliminary test they worked without causing corruption issues for one tester that we were able to get ahold of (thank you ShadowGorrath!) so there's relatively high hopes that the files will work on others as well, but we would like more data to confirm this before we consider the issue fixed.


Technobabble: Basically it would appear that DXT compression has a lower resolution limit that sets the minimum resolution you can use with compressed DDS images. Most modern GPU's can overcome these limits and use smaller files - such as the 4x1024 resolution beam textures - but older GPU's will apparently have trouble with them and require that DXT compressed textures have at least dimensions of 16 pixels or more.

That's why most people have not been having probems with the Shivan beams and it's been limited to fairly old hardware - new GPU's and their drivers have added support for smaller than 16x16 resolution for compressed DDS files. If changing the resolution to 16x512 indeed corrects the problems, then we have another tidbit of information to add to the collective knowledge base and we should make sure to use at least 16x16 sized compressed DDS textures in the future.


Thankyou very much. It works.  :D

Strange, I'm not having beam problems at all.
Though to be honest, the fact that every single Shivan beam charge-up effect looks like a pink Green Beam effect...is FUGLY.

Hey,

First things first: I'm speechless. What you've done is beautiful :yes2:  :nod: :yes:

BUT

I'm having a 'small' problem, as follows:

I fire up the game (4989 nightly build + mvps -no other mods). Everything seems to be working perfectly. I enter the techroom in order to drool over the new shiny htls and normal maps. I see the Ulysses...wow! I see the Herc I...wow! I see the Medusa...  :eek2: I see the Hatshepsut...

The game freezes.

Nothing works, but the music still plays. I've got to Ctrl-Alt-Del my way back to my desktop.

I've tried it with other builds -no luck. The game still freezes after a while (and it seems like selecting certain ships like the Hatshepsut, the Fenris-Levy and some bombers are big no-nos).

I've played around with the launcher options, and it seems like -no_glsl 'fixes' it. But I know that my GPU (X1950 pro) fully supports SM3.0, and OGL2.0. I should be able to enjoy the new shinies! And I've downloaded the latest Catalyst 8.12 drivers, so this ain't my problem either...

I've also got a Dual-C 2Ghz processor, 2GB of Ram, and I'm running Vista HP.

After a bit of tinkering, with no luck, I fired up the debugger and got this in the error.log:

"Access Violation in module atioglxx.dll"

Hmmmm...

After that I googled around a bit and tried a few 'solutions', namely grabbing atioglxx.dll's from previous drivers, re-expanding the current driver's dl_ and so on and so forth. Still no luck.

Bottomline: I know that my GPU can handle the new graphics, namely because I can see them (albeit only for a few minutes). The game does not lag, stutter or crawl, it just suddenly FREEZES!  :mad: Now I can play with no_glsl, but I shouldn't have to.

So please, any ideas?

Hmm.. not really sure what it is

First set your game to run in window mode (dev tools section in the launcher) and select resolution accordingly. Use the browse option and select debug build. Run the game and try repeating the steps that lead to the crash. After the crash or freezing up make sure the game no longer runs, find fs2_open.log file in the Freespace2/data directory and post it here.

I started the game, went into Techroom, selected Fenris. Freeze in ca 2 secs (it didn't even finish one rotation)
This was my second try. The first time I tried, it worked better. I managed to get to the Hatshepsut, watched it spin for a while, then selected the Colosssus. Ouch... :(

BTW, "Wokka!" ??? :confused: :lol:

I also tried to ignore the techroom and go straight to the missions. Well...

These shouldn't be there - That is to say these are apparently of older vp set and should be either removed all together or then at the bare minimum moved out from the main freespace directory (and not to 3.6.10 mediavp directory).

The shader vp (sdr1119.vp) should be moved elsewhere as well as the mediavps contain shaders as well.. Though you might need them with some other mod (possibly)

*embarrassed cough* right *embarrassed cough* :D

I'll move them to a new mod folder and see what happens

EDIT: Nope. Moved them to a new folder (named 'bareminimum' -I think those are the 'retail' vps (would those have a shader?? :confused:)

Anyways, now the game crashes the minute I enter the techroom. :D

And if I skip to the campaign, I can see a Myrmidon in the ship selection, but it freezes once I go into weapon selection:

Hmm... dunno what ATI found offending this time...

You could still try adding empty text (ASCII) file named 'debug_filter.cfg' to the same directory where you found the .log file and run the debug build once more. And this time either upload the log somewhere, or post only the last 10 to 20 lines of the log (its a 'tad' longer this way).

You could post this issue to the FS Open support forum as well ( http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/board,151.0.html ) in case people who frequent there would have ideas.

The first post of this thread should probably say something about getting rid of the existing shaders file people might have had.  And some of those freezes sound like an attempt to recache a ship, and a bigger freeze would be more likely with a bigger ship.  I would suggest anyone having a 'freeze' like that in the tech room or loading a mission just let it sit for a few minutes before deciding that it died.

Would 'Not responding' and a Black screen after 5' of waiting to enter the techroom qualify as 'dead'?

And I never had problems in loading missions. I'm telling you, I can see the bloody thing, it's right there, but after 30 or so degrees of rotating (or less) it freezes...

There is a problem with the german version of fs2, which can be fixed by installing this fix (http://www.game-warden.com/starfox/Non_SF_related_stuff/MVP3610BETA/MV_3610_german_hotfix.rar) from the beta release thread.
It would be nice if the link could be put in the first post here as well  :P

That aside: Really great release  :yes:
Especially the Iceni  :cool:

You are talking about the issue which already was sorted...

http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,58230.msg1176463.html#msg1176463

The patch for the 3.6.10 mediavps will include the properly patched file.

This is probably one of my normal extremely stupid mistakes, but the mediavps aren't showing up. They're completely missing. being used as a secondary mod as well as alone.
Edit: I am the most stupid person on the face of the earth. Please ignore my post.

Aaargh. The new MediaVPs are screwing with just about every user-made campaign and conversion that I have. Derelict, Blue Planet, the Procyon Insurgency, FSPort...all I can play is the main campaign.

The SSLBeam for the Lucifer in FSPort isn't working, Muzzle .pofs in Blue Planet aren't working right and cause the game to crash, the Procyon Insurgency crashes immediately after loading and the BFRed in Derelict isn't working. And all of the above (with the exception of FSPort) have issues with certain beams which apparently do not have a LOD0 anim.

And they should look better than that too! Giant pink balls of death? What happened to those old ones which pulsed and radiated?

And no offense to Vasudan Admiral (really no offense, I know how much effort went into those), but the new warp things look weird... I liked the old ones which seemed a lot more deep, real and convincing.

Bobboaus shivan beams were consistantly voted for, so that's what went in. However, moving away from the red-pink-white and adopting the usual red-yellow-white would require yet another beam overhaul. Maybe it'll happen, but no promises.

Sounds like they're not for everyone I guess which is a shame, because as you say - a lot of effort went in. :(

Basically I was going for something that while much higher res than the originals, was also a lot closer to them in terms of motion and stuff. While the toxic sludge puddles from previous releases was a great effect, it felt more like a stargate event horizon and not at all like subspace from the freespace cutscenes.

That said, I'd still like to see the effects upgraded - because no matter how good anyone can make them look front on, side on they still all suck. We need some kind of volumetric/particle solution eventually. A model and transparent texture alone just can't do it.

I'm not talking about the beams, the red crackling energy in Bobbau's beams are wonderful, I'm talking about the beamglows.
The beamglow "beamglow4" matches more with Bobbau's beam than the one that came with it originally. Both look like they're crackling with energy.

The pink-ish glow fits more with the other candidate. (Yours, if I recall), and those two look great together. I've always thought the beam and glow matchings should be switched for the Shivan beams.

The new high-res subspace effect looks great when you use warp-effect to create a massive one on a knossos. :P Its also slightly creepy :D

I did see that intent, and I really appreciated the effort. It was a great artistic touch and a very faithful interpretation, and I'm really glad people have the option of using an effect that looks like an upgraded version of retail instead of an artistic reinterpretation.

Unfortunately, the 'event horizon' look from the MVP betas felt brighter, thicker, and deeper, which conveyed some of the depth that the subspace model in the Bastion warpout cutscene had.

Ideally, we'd want something that looked like that.

After spending many hours trying to get this working I gave up. I went as far as turning off all the features and it still locks up upon entering a mission. I also see this MOD is causing problems for people who are using ATI cards and wonder if this MOD has not been optimized for ATI use? That aside, I'm again asking if anyone can give me some help getting mine working so I can get back to working on the Teeth of the Tiger MOD with this new 3.6.10 Media VP. Your help will be MUCH appreciated!
I downloaded each component separately instead of the one large file is that helps any.

I also did what was suggested and waited after I entered the mission to see if it clears up and after 5 min it still is frozen. The music stops playing about 35 45 secons after entering the mission and you don't hear it again.

Since I could not get the MOD working, I went back to square one and applied everything according to page one of this thread. Here is my Debug spew:

However, moving away from the red-pink-white and adopting the usual red-yellow-white would require yet another beam overhaul
The problem isn't that the beams go red-pink-white. The problem is that the glows are just pink-white with no trace of red, very much unlike the beams themselves. The two effects are completely mismatched.

You're running the game from a compressed NTFS filesystem?  Not something I would recommend, but whatever.  You need to get rid of the a_* vp files, lightspeed and nebulae, from your root folder.  Those really should never have been there, and you definitely don't want them there now with the new mediavps.  May or may not fix your crash, probably not, but it will prevent some other problems.

Also, Enioch, did you clean those non-retail VPs out of your root FS2 folder and try just running with the MediaVPs as a mod by themselves?  You shouldn't have any MV_ files in the main FS2 folder, nor any shader vp files as those are in the mediavps themselves.

High Max...

Well... You do have mess in there do you... First the images of your freespace directory and the fs2_open.log do not really match... fs2_open.log reports that you have mediavp files from the previous release still in the MAIN freespace directory (which is a very bad thing). Second it shows you are running a 3rd part mod.


Actual reason for the crash would seem to be that you have somewhere in your mod defined a secondary weapon named 'SRed' and now the mediavp tables seem to be conflicting with that entry. This problem doesnt have much to do with mediavps though. Also using -noparseerrors flag is pretty much the same as begging the game to crash. Especially when modding as the various warnings are usually in the code for a reason.

So after you are sure you have no other mods than mediavps running then post a new fs2_open.log

I know, but you seemed confused about what was actually a retail file and what was a MediaVP file.  Wasn't sure if that got sorted out yet.  I put a list of the retail vp files in another post just now here (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,58337.0.html) in case you were wondering still.

It's just part of the original retail patch system.  It doesn't work anymore, so you could delete it.  I'm guessing you installed from retail discs or GOG and not just copying over the retail vps to a new folder, so you probably have FS2.exe and FRED2.exe as well.

You should go to FreeSpace Modding forum or read the Wiki to do that kind of edits now. I personally agree that those beamglows need to change, but we'll be in a horrible mess if we start to tell people how to mod in this particular thread. It's cluttered enough as it is.

High Max - did you post an old debug log? Based on the screenshot of your FS2 folder, those extra VP's shouldn't be there. Make sure you're still running a debug build and check the "created" date on the log to make sure it's actually what is happening. Or, make sure there are no files hiding outside the window bounds with the Big Icons view that's actually possible). In fact, when posting screenies like that, it's better to use the listing or details view rather than Big Icons.

Also,
Code: [Select]
Int3(): From d:\steven\projects\fsscp\svn trunk - camera code\code\globalincs\windebug.cpp at line 1319 means you aren't running a recent Nightly build as suggested (or your debug log is outdated).


Interestingly, it looks like the shaders aren't compiling for some reason on High Max' computer... :nervous: Might be ATi's bad drivers or something else, I don't know.


Regarding the subspace effect - I agree with Goober. There's a difference between an effect upgrade and a mod - upgrades are supposed to look like the original effect but better, while mods can look whatever their designer wants them to look like.

Post by: chief1983 on December 14, 2008, 03:40:24 am
There is only one type, but that type of NTFS has the option of compressing it.  Usually compressed NTFS files show up in blue, unless there's some other reason they'd be showing up that way.  It may be an individual file setting since they're not all blue.  You could try rightclicking on the drive those are on, and seeing if the Compress this drive... option is checked under General.

It should theoretically handle GLSL just fine, but for some reason a lot of people with X1950s are having trouble, so until it's sorted out we just need to know if that helps or not.  It's under the troubleshooting options, just check it and disable normals and see if that helps the stability.  You would still have Glow, Shine, and Env maps possible, but you may still want to try different combinations of those to see if it still breaks with no GLSL.

I agree to agree also. Not only is the new warp effect amazing in quality, it's the first MVP warp effect in some time that is very faithful to the original effect/concept. It's good to finally see something rivalling the retail cutscene s-vortexes. Great job fixing all the problems with the beams, especially the shivan ones are excellent now.

It was worth the wait. FSU never ceases to impress.

The a's were a remnant of the old retail mipmapping system where each LOD had a corresponding texture - shipA, shipB, shipC etc. This kind of mipmapping is a lot worse than texture mipmapping, which is done with the DDS textures, so LOD's don't need their own textures any more, so the lettering is not necessary any more and if it's left there it'll just work as catalyst for confusion for new modders and old ones.

So yes, it was necessary to remove the letter indexing where it isn't needed.

Is there something particular that this change breaks that can't be changed by texture name reassignment in PCS2?
Title: Re: RELEASE: 3.6.10 Media VPs

Then they should have included those textures. The chances that a ship get's high poly-fied from one version to the other is bound to happen. So, anyone with custom Ulysses fighters should have had thier own textures.

But there is no intention for cruelty here. A compatibility pack of sorts is being made. But It will not have every texture renamed to suit a convention that is no longer required, only to assist with what has been removed in favor of what is new.

And they are not in the mediavp's because they are not retail ships. As they are custom ships they probably already have (or should have) custom textures, yes?? And if it a mission mod that simply loads retail ship name, nothing breaks.

And so far, with every Campaign that was installed with The Installer that relies on just the mediavp's, there has not yet been a single occurrence of a problem that I have encountered yet. Why is that? Because things like that get checked. Which is one of the reasons why the release took as long as it did.

If you would like to support some examples, please feel free. And bear in mind, we have no issue with providing assistance to any mod maker who end's up with broken work because of the mediavp's. But it had best be because of the mediavp's and because they politely asked for assistance in a reasonable and intelligent fashion.

Uh....say WHAT?

The log will always update to some degree just by launch of the game. If you can make it to the cutscene or pilot select screen, the log updates. Even on a core fatal crash before then, it always updates. It just won't continue past where it crashes.

Now, I am all for keeping an open mind, but I don't let the breeze whistle past my ears. Just sayin.

The FSU team should, in fact, work on the Media VPs and forget about custom ships. Upgrading them is up to their creators.

I wouldn't give for sure that custom ships use custom textures, however. They usually use retail textures. I guess it's easier for a modeller to use a texture the FSU upgrades continuously rather than create an exclusive texture that will be refered to as trash after 2+ years.

Which is exactly what we do as FSU members. We have other stuff to do as well, but within the FSUpgrade project, we upgrade materials that appeared on the retail. Other stuff is in FS Modding and respective projects.

Well anything that uses retail texture names will be able to fallback to the retail PCX textures. They aren't going anywhere from the retail VP's, so it won't break things, just make them a bit hideous. Custom models should use their own textures instead of slaving themselves to either retail or mediavps. If someone has had enough lack of foresight to do that while relying on mediaVP's, it's their fault that their stuff is failing.

Inferno is so old that it was made to work with retail, so it's more understandable if there are ships that use retail textures rather than dedicated ones - especially considering tiles - but otherwise a ship that doesn't appear in retail should use it's own texture... with it's own texture name.

Personally I think any mod should function without the MediaVP's and preferably be compatible with them.


And, yes. If you had a problem with the texture name change process, the betas have been out for a long time. A long time. Although since them, the amounts of "a"'s might have reduced further, but not by much.

You can think as you want, but it doesn't matter now since I found that by disabling GLSL shader support, the problem is fixed. But I worry that disabling it makes the detail go down. It seemed to iin the tech database. That is not acceptable. I don't want that. What is the point of even using these new vps if I can't use them to the fullest? It must be the fact that I have Radeon. I hope there will be a way to fix this or I won't bother playing FS if it is going to sacrifice most of the detail.


I feel your pain but your attitude sucks.

It is not our fault that your hardware fails what it should be capable of doing. Save the fire and brimstone for customer complaints for ATi.

As to whether or not disabling GLSL reduces detail - it doesn't really. It reduces lighting quality by reverting to fixed render pipeline instead of using shaders for lighting, so you don't get normal maps and the overall quality of lighting is a bit lower than with the shaders. And previous mediaVP's (not counting the 3.6.10 Beta) never had any normal maps, so it isn't exactly a reduction in quality either way.

You can still use all the new models, maps and effects though, so it does make sense to use the new MediaVP's. You don't have to, though, if it is so frustrating to know that your hardware should be able to do more. It is your choice, but please stop polluting this thread with vitriolic comments, they are misplaced here.

Detail in what way? Lights and bangs are just as they should be in either case. All you loose are normal maps, and given the technical issues surrounding that model of card specifically and in relation to the drivers you are using means that normal maps are not supported on it, which means you never had them to begin with.

And the detail is there. And I don't hear Mac people saying they cannot use normal maps or shaders outside of windowed mode (or sometimes not even then) but none of THEM have posted such a wealth of contradictory information in requesting assistance NOR have they had any where the attitude of doing so.

So, if -no_glsl means you walk away from freespace, from what I have seen, we won't loose anything. It would be a damn shame if that were the case however. We enjoy having people here that are willing to enjoy what is here.

And we don't know _fully_ what the problem is with the x19## cards. Partially because of conflictive information. Partially because there are too many questions that make no sense. But I am in the process of getting an x300, x600, x1900 and x1950 to find out for myself.

And sometimes, you just have to realize and accept that you don't always get what you want. When you look at High Quality DX 10 screenshots of something like Crysis for example, do you decide your system should be able to get how that looks? Because it's not. And right now, at _this moment_ your system does not get normal maps/shaders.

Maybe.

We haven't even released the patch yet, which has some changes to the existing shaders. Care to stick around and see if it helps any?

Curiously this is just what's been happening with Dark's mods. Back in the day, his textures and models were superb.

I could _maybe_ see a log file not being updated, if perhaps some permissions got jacked and the engine ceased to be able to delete and overwrite an old log.  I could see this being more likely on Vista if the game weren't run as Administrator, but he's on XP it looks like, so I'm not sure.  Could still be possible it was locked somehow.  High Max, try deleting the old fs2_open.log file manually first and see if a new one is created.  We could still use some of the info in an attempt to try to circumvent this bug.

Max, Radeon is a good brand but ATi has shoddy OpenGL support.  Not as bad as Intel but still not the greatest.  They routinely don't work as expected.  On top of that, the GLSL code had high requirements to begin with, and only work with the newest of the new when it was first released to the public a year ago.  SM3.0 isn't properly implemented even on some cards you could pick up off of the shelf today.  I don't think it's going to work probably on anything less than a Radeon HD on a regular basis.  That's just the way the shader system was coded, it's not going to get fixed with a 'patch'.  Now, even without GLSL, your graphics are still better than they were a year ago as many problems with the last mediavps have been fixed, many models have been added, etc.  And by constantly stating that a patch should be able to fix it, almost to the point that it sounds like an expectation (especially when you said it was 'not acceptable' to turn down your graphics even the tiniest bit), it sounds like you're blaming everyone else for deeper problems between the engine and your line of hardware that are likely to never be avoided.

Remember what I said about the freedom to express my opinion and that is one of the reasons for forums? I'm not breaking any rule and I'm saying how it is. I was thinking that the SCP can release a patch that allows to eliminate the problem and make it more compatible with all major video card brands. Radeon is a good brand and my drivers are up to datem so I expect no problemswith it working with games.

When did I say it was your fault? Did I say that? I'm not polluting the thread since I'm on topic the whole time and I have a right be upset, but I never said it was your fault and I didn't use one bad word or insult or anything.

I'm ok. I won't walk away from FS. I just know there is more to life. I can wait for a patch if I must

:wtf: No, you're not really breaking any rule, but you're whining like a three-year-old.

And what makes you think it is as simple as "making it compatible with everything"?  You wouldn't be saying that if you knew the kind of work that went into fixing compatibility issues with specific hardware, both on the code side and the models/textures side.

If you genuinely want to help fix an issue, then by all means, provide the information necessary to fix it, though in that case a major attitude overhaul is in order on your part.  But if all you want to do is whine, go do it elsewhere.

Enough.

Srsly.

What we can do, will be done. If there is some issue with how the shaders are written that can be addressed, it will be. But do not expect miracles. Just because the drivers say the hardware can do something does not mean it will do it well.

On the issue of drivers: Yes, hardware wise, ATI makes some damn nice cards. I still own plenty as far back an the Original 32mb DDR AGP card. I still have a 3D Rage card. I still have an Xpert@Play card.

But thier drivers (and nVidia is just as at fault for this as well) are **** when it comes to the new supporting the old like it should because they want the "One driver to rule them all" approach, and it just. does. not. work.

When a completely new core line up comes out a new driver package for that cores features and cards needs to be made. The older ones can retain support and you can be sure that if/when they get updated, it will be to fix or improve something for that core/lineup. There is no guarantee of that today.

The newest drivers? DX10.1, Shader Model 4.1, OpenGL 2.1. Now, OpenGL 2.1 supports 2.0, and that is good. But the shader parser is still going to push all that it can.  And it is running on a DX 9.0c, Shader Model 3.0 (first generation card to support SM3.0 and the 1900 replaced a buggy 1800 flagship card) OpenGL 2.0 card. Something in there is not necessarily going to be good, from my experience. Additionally, the 1950 is the first ATI card to support Internal crossfire. So, with revamps from the flagship of the series (and the 1950 being a complete rebuild from the ground up), it doesn't surprise me that there is _some_ sort of issue.

What is most frustrating is the irrational turns of how the issue decides it is going to exhibit itself.

Once I get the cards' I'll know more. And while we will have a patch, and while the patch will include fixed (for completely different reasons) shader files, I do not promise that they _will_ do anything for this issue. I can only hope that they will.

I wouldn't give for sure that custom ships use custom textures, however. They usually use retail textures. I guess it's easier for a modeller to use a texture the FSU upgrades continuously rather than create an exclusive texture that will be referred to as trash after 2+ years.

I can only imagine what is going to happen to INFR1...fortunately, future INF releases will all be standalone... :nervous:

That does make sense. But would it be right to assume now that the ones without the 'a' at the end are here to stay?

And, honestly, in Inferno, I would not have noticed that the models reverted back to retail maps unless you pointed it out:

Here is a screen shot I just made using the new vps with the GLSL shaders turned off. As you can see, it's really quite nice.

To be honest that's not the best picture to use, it doesn't show anything up close.

Something I've been wondering, the Pegasus used to have pulsating EM paths where there was blue lines, although as of now I haven't seen that effect anymore, where can I get that effect again?

The animated glow map was deemed inadequate due to distortion and being of smaller quality than the regular glow map.

And while I personally don't see the point of a stealth ship announcing itself by such an effect, I can admit a certain cool factor.

I'll work up something newer that is more suitable and of an appropriate resolution.

Hello all,

Just incase you wanted more logs from ppl with that radeon error. I have an x1650 Pro from HIS, windows XP, catalyst 7.2 (Dont ask why, its an AGP card and ati's driver support blows for AGP so i can't play/run any 3D apps on anything but 7.2...woo) fresh install of fs2 and what not since i havent played in about a year. I couldnt run Flames of War or Warzone, but i could start the training missions from the old campaign and play through them w/o problem. Other games with shader model 3 (splinter cell double agent and such) work fine. I used that -no_glsl flag and everythings fine now. If you want me to give you an error log could you please remind me how haha, i've forgotten. And what does no_glsl do, just turn off shaders? And new stars look friggin great.

Thank you falcon2105.

Post logs here: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,58371.0.html
Disregard the drivers links, yours will do just fine.

How to get a log:

Simply run any FSO nightly build that is fs2_open_3_6_10d-%date%_%svn-ver%.exe Note the D.

Go to %FS Install Dir%\data and open up fs2_open.log. Paste into code tags everything from the begining all the way to:
Code: [Select]
ANI cursorweb with size 24x24 (25.0% wasted)

And that will help immensely. Thank you for participating, while I want to get this working, I am glad that -no_glsl is letting it run for you. And yes, it just turns off the shaders, which are used on displaying the normal maps.

Augh...don't do that.  Please.  Even if it doesn't seem to cause any trouble, you could just be hurting yourself and not know it.  Put the MV_Complete in a new folder, back up your old one first, whatever.  Just...don't put it in with the old ones.  That's like slapping these guys in the face after they went through all this trouble to make sure the layout worked as optimized as it could be.

Post by: Vasudan Admiral on December 15, 2008, 02:52:09 am
Sorry, but doing it that way is stupid because no matter which your old version is, it will be overriding stuff in this VP set. If it's 3.6.8, all the 710 patches and mv_adveffects will take loading preceedence over MV_Complete. If it's the 3.6.10 betas, then MV_AdvancedEffects and MV_Assets will take preceedence over MV_Complete - which is even worse because it means you won't benefit in the slightest from the hundreds of model fixes we've made AS WELL as not seeing most of the new or upgraded effects.

So again, please just delete or move away the previous VP files.

Hiya.

So am i correct in saying i need to remove all of whats in the mediavps folder currently and copy the 3 new files mod.ini, FSU-MVP.bmp and MV_Complete.7z to the folder?

currently my mediavps folder contains.... mv_adveffects, mv_core, mv_effects, mv_models, mv_music, mv_textures.vp
mp-710_adveffects, mp-710_effects, mp-710_models.vp
sdr1119.vp
and ofc the data and cache folder.

shouldnt i keep the 710 vp and the sdr1119.vp files?

I just want to be certain.

The mp-710 files are patches for the 3.6.8 MediaVPs. They have absolutely nothing to do with 3.6.10 MediaVPs and therefore they must go.

Quote from: maya on December 15, 2008, 11:16:52 am
and the sdr1119.vp files?
As it has been repeatedly stated, the 3.6.10 MediaVPs inculde shaders, so there is no need for that separate shader vp anymore.

Post by: maya on December 15, 2008, 11:30:46 am
OK thanks for that.

I started getting into FSO pretty late so theres still lots to catch up on but i have to say its nice that its all in one vp file now, it can get a bit confusing at times remembering what files i need and the ones i dont.

 :yes:

I hope so :) , just about to test with the latest nightly so about to find out, plus i renamed the old mediavps folder to mediavpsold just in case.

Okey, finally installed the new MediaVPs. After some version change (I was running on an XT build from like a year ago or so, though I never had any problems with it) and updating the vps from the 3.6.10 betas I was able to see the new effects.

Wow.

What you people did with some ships is just amazing. The Ulysses, the Ravana, the Demon and more are just BRILLIANT. However, I have some criticism for you people.

Firstly - what happened with some of the models that were in the 3.6.10 Betas ? I mean, I turn on the Hipocrates and I get an ugly, bricky retail model. I check the Orion, and I get the retail model that was just normal mapped. I go for the Lilith and Cain, and they are using retail models as well. The shock of this discovery was so big I nearly spilled my tea all over the keyboard. Could somebody explain to me what happened ? Also, some normal maps, for example on the Sobek or Hatshepsut, seem less noticable than in the Betas. Like they were not so "deep" as they should be. Perhaps that's artistic license, or the transition from builds just changed the shaders (well, I was working on the ones built into XT, remember).

Secondly, I have problems with beam sounds. There are none. It's just silent. I checked it only on the BFReds from the Bearbeating, so not sure if it's the case with all beams, but definitely could use a fix for this (sorry if there is one already, the 18 pages in this topic are a bit too much for my brain right now).

Nevertheless, great job. You did truly splendid job on this baby.

I have to ask... hey guys have you changed something from the fs retail campaign? cause I just played bearbaiting and in the defriefing I get a text that says that the destroyer thebes was destroyed in the attack... but the thebes is a sobek in the mission.
I'm very confused right now  those shivan lazers got my mind spinning  :nervous:

Checked. That would seem to be a genuine retail blooper. Much like the Ravana-class "cruiser" Nebiros in Into the Lion's Den.

Demon and more are just BRILLIANT. However, I have some criticism for you people.

I mean, I turn on the Hipocrates and I get an ugly, bricky retail model. I check the Orion, and I get the retail model that was just normal mapped. I go for the Lilith and Cain, and they are using retail models as well. The shock of this discovery was so big I nearly spilled my tea all over the keyboard. Could somebody explain to me what happened ? Also, some normal maps, for example on the Sobek or Hatshepsut, seem less noticable than in the Betas. Like they were not so "deep" as they should be. Perhaps that's artistic license, or the transition from builds just changed the shaders (well, I was working on the ones built into XT, remember).
Wait, what did they do with the Demon, it looks exactly the same to me.
The Lilith and Cain always used the same models with higher-resolution textures, the only acutal high-poly ship there is the Orion from what I remember.

Unless you've been downloading seperate HTL models...

Not really, merely an observation. I liked the previous stuff more, but that's also cool. Though I have a strange feeling that something's wrong with lightning, everything is far too bright, even with no ambient and no speculative light.

The Demon ? Have you seen the normal maps on it ? I barely recognised the ship at the first sight. As for the Lil' and Cain, they were definitely more high poly in the betas, I swear. Definitely not a case of seperate models, the only one I had before was the Apollo and the fixed model for Ravana. And the Orion looks just plain ugly when compared to the one that was in the 3.6.8 zetas/3.6.10 betas/done by Trashman. I mean, I know it should look like a brick, but I wouldn't take it as literally as the creators did :P

It was the consensus that lightening quite a few of the normal maps gave them a more realistic appearance.  I think the sobek's are much better now than the snakeskin look it had before, considering the size of the ship, ruts that deep just didn't sit right with me.

Title: Re: RELEASE: 3.6.10 Media VPs
Post by: Herra Tohtori on December 15, 2008, 03:09:17 pm
The reason why there are many kinds of normal maps is because different people made them. GalEmp made the Demon normal map, and I made for example the Moloch main tile normalmap. Comparing these two ships is a pretty good way to figure out the differences between our opinions regarding the Shivan surface structure. I always interpreted the Shivan tiles more like some stone carved relief styled stuff like this (http://static.panoramio.com/photos/original/5796064.jpg) with two main elevation levels - "brighter" and "darker" plus some smaller detail - instead of more rounded shapes like the Demon has at the moment (and I'm probably going to make my own version of the Demon normal map for my own use because I don't especially like the rounded vesion, it just doesn't seem to follow the Shivan design features as I see them ;7). Creative differences, that's all.

On topic of Sobek/Hatshepsut normalmaps, thanks for the critique. The problem with the previous maps was that they were actually way too exaggerated, not exactly in depth but in width. And while they may have gotten people used to them, they definitely didn't depict the detail in the diffuse map but something totally different. The seams between the "scales" were ridiculously oversized - they were from the period when the normal maps were new and fancy and people tended to use the feature jsut for the feature's sake, which ended up making many ships look like party balloons with exaggerated surface detail on the normal maps. In fact, we had discussions about this in the internal, and it boils down to the question - do we want to use a feature just for feature's sake and have exaggerated surface detail that even a blind man could see them with their forehead, or to use the feature to depict the surface detail in the maps. You might guess in which camp I stand... :p

To be fair though, the Sobek/Hatshepsut normals weren't as bad as the original normal map for Perseus or some of the other early normalmap stuff, but the old tiles also had the tile's outline visible in the normal maps, creating a nasty effect with linear edges breaking the scales in half. In other words they were broken. So they had to be re-done, and the task befell to me. While I was at it I figured I'd make them actually match what you see in the retail (and upgraded) diffuse textures and the upgraded versions for them. And the lines apparent in those textures were actually surprisingly thin - you can check this easily by going to Ship Lab (press F3 in Mainhall), select Sobek, disable rotation, zoom into the bow area and switch normal maps on and off repeatedly in Rendering options, and you should see that the width of the seams now actually corresponds to what :v: designed the ships to look like. I also added a whole bunch of surface detail to the normals in addition to the seam lines and made higher resolution versions of the maps. Same applies to the Hatshepsut.

As far as depth goes: For their width, the lines are as deep as they can conceivably be; if you prefer the wider and thus deeper lines, grab the tiles from the beta VP's (if you can tolerate the tiling edges crisscrossing through the panels). Due to how the normal map concept works, the apparent depth of normalmapped detail is limited by the size of the detail. The normals have a certain maximum "slope" or angle that they can tilt the surface to. For example, if you have a 20 cm long ruler and you place it at 45 degree angle vertically, and a 2 metres long two-by-four plank, the end of the plank is about ten times higher than the end of the ruler. In case of normal maps, this means that the only way to increase the depth of an already fully tilted seam line is to increase the width of the seam, which would break the original design of the ship - and while we do take some artistic lisence, this is still FreeSpace Upgrade project. Modded stuff is found in FS Modding forum, and I'll be more than happy to help on how to find and use for example old normal maps if you prefer them.

Also... stuff from FS Modding often ends up into MediaVP's in one shape or form, especially if it upgrades stuff that appears in Retail FS2. So if you have a vision that deeper tiles would look better on Sobek/Hatshepsut, you can go there, find information on how to make normal maps, and make fixed versions (without tile outlines) of the deep seamed old normal maps, and if enough people prefer them to mine, I don't have anything against them being used in the next set of MediaVP's. :)


Goober: The MV_Complete exists because it can do without the lower detail effects (and, partly, maps) in Effects and Assets respectively, and just have the high-res/animated versions of them. So it's a bit smaller in total file size.

Masochism is also acceptable explanation. :lol:


Regarding lighting levels:

You should go and take a look at the wiki page about Command Line (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Command-Line_Reference#Graphics_2) and how to edit lighting values; personally, I use the following custom cmdline lighting setup: -no_emissive_light -ambient_factor 35 -ogl_spec 20 -spec_exp 15 -spec_point 1.2 -spec_static 1.5 -spec_tube 1.5

Remember though that the lighting values are even more a personal preference than normal maps. If you don't like my setup, read the Wiki and edit the individual lighting values to your hearts' contents to find settings that you like. ;)

I've played a few missions up to the mission after "Mystery of the Trinity" and it seems that most models are not HTL'ed yet, but that is for 3.7.1, if they call the next vp release by that name.

Considering that there are about a hundred unique ship models in FS2, as well as a dozen missiles, and the amount of work that goes into handcrafted detailing and debugging each one (Ask about the Serapis, I dare you!) the fact that we have about 40% of them done is pretty good. And of course, those that haven't been totally remodeled still have high-res textures, glow maps, shine maps and normal maps, which make a huge difference. And that's not even getting into all the upgraded effects and backgrounds.

It is of course a continuous work in progress; and, like painting the Golden Gate Bridge, if we ever finish the entire thing, we'll probably have to start all over again at the beginning and re-do old, inefficient assets.

Wow, thanks Herra for such a detailed post. It really cleared a lot of things I had on my mind. I don't really mind the new normal maps, it's just that as you said, I got used to the old ones. Add to this the jump from shaders from late 2007 to the ones that are in the new mediaVPs, and you should understand why I found it a bit strange.

Not only is it truer to the original than the beta one, (and I was a fan of the beta one) but the scale looks better and it just looks more realistic.

I will admit that so far I am pretty pleased while playing through with 3.6.10. I just hope that someday, that explosion effect called exp06.ani will be replaced. I always thought it looked like a poor effect and it is from Retail FS2 and is the one when a fighter or bomber explodes. But the Retail exp05.ani is still very nice.

Is it so hard to give credit? The 3.6.10 mediavps are brilliant, especially considering those who don't have decent computers.

Why not just call this release "Release 10" for example? Of course I know it is not the 10th release. I think more like the 6th official release.

The mediavp versions follow the SCP versions.  The SCP is at 3.6.10 right now, so that's why the mediavps are named as such.

The numbering system had a plan at one point, but development has been much slower than any coder ever anticipated it would be.  We will probably keep releasing 3.6.x builds until the new pilot code is in place, and that would likely be 3.7.  Then the next bigger thing could even just bump it up to FSO4.  It's just a legacy thing though really.  It's not broke so don't fix it, but I am planning on tweaking it a bit.  In the future I think odd numbers are going to be testing releases and even numbers will be final.  So when people start saying they have 3.6.11 builds we'll know they're testing and no one thinks they have the forthcoming 3.6.12 stable build.

I don't know what's changing in the next MediaVPs.  I was referring to the numbering system of the SCP engine itself.  There is a list of assets that need to be upgraded, and one thing the staff is talking about is revisiting some older HTL models again.  Not gonna say too much more than that, it may already be too much :)

You're not necessarily doing anything worngly, but here's how you can make us see what exactly you're doing:

Change your build into a debug build. Debug builds have a -d when normal (release) builds have an -r in the filename. Run the game using that, and then navigate into your ..\FreeSpace2\data\ directory, and post your fs2_open.log, that will tell us what you are doing and what your system is doing.

If your graphics processing unit can't handle the shaders, that should be apparent in the debug log too.

Yeah it does suck, but it's much better than it used to be back in the day. I mean, when you're in the heat of battle now, it still looks damn good even without normals and bad lighting on the ships. It is much better loading stuff than it was back in 05, 06, When **** used to stutter like half life 2.

I prefer to run the mac in fullscreen without normals and with no_glsl. I have a feeling that nvidia cards are worse in window mode than ATI cards are.

I've moved the files, removed tangoA and tangoB. smarty_fs2.vp was corrupt, so I replaced it. But after all, no difference.
With Derelict it has a dark background, but there are all kinds of white rectangles. It seems that some data can't be loaded or displayed? Also models in the HUD are withe and has no texture. It's the complete VP, I will try with the separated vp's. No differences. The first demo level (in the nebula) works well except that the HUD models are still white.

[edit#2]seeding via demonoid torrent even tho i am extremely against demonoid.

You mean the direct links to torrent files (single VP (http://www.demonoid.com/files/download/HTTP/1717551/1727794) and multiple VP (http://www.demonoid.com/files/download/HTTP/1717549/15550146)) don't work? :nervous:

Those files are multiplayer missions and voices for them, and since they won't be involved in playing through the FS2 campaign they theoretically don't cause any harm by being in the root dir, and besides that, the mediavp's have for a long time been non-multiplayer stats compatible.

As soon as the mvp3.6.10 become approved in the FS2NetD (don't know the status of this at the moment), they could be moved into mediavp directory, but otherwise it isn't harmful. As far as I know, anyway.

The demo file should be somewhere else though, I dont' know what dragons be there.

I've updated my last reply. The media vp's are working well in the nebula except white hud models, all other scenarios result in white. Complete or in pieces, no difference. That VP's are missions and sounds, they have nothing to do with the media vp's.

This sounds extremely remotely like the issue GTSVA was having a while back, except that in his case everything was white. Was fixed by updating graphics drivers.
Title: Re: RELEASE: 3.6.10 Media VPs
Post by: Herra Tohtori on December 17, 2008, 10:20:32 am
Yes, it sounds like your GPU for some reason cannot use some resources and replaces them with void textures that appear as white.

The only thing I can think of that separates the starfield0001 texture from others is that it uses a pretty exotic form of DXT compression, so I'd like to ask you to test an uncompressed DDS version (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?g5wgmlmwbmk) and/or TGA version (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?tjwoykiimky).

Your card says it can handle 2048^2 sized textures, so I don't think that is the issue. If the uncompressed DDS or TGA versions don't work, we'll need to look at other solutions...

Neither of those options appear in the launcher. 

Also, how do I get the launcher to stop trying to use 3.6.9?  It won't change it; under Features it still has C:\Program Files\Freespace 2\fs2_open_3_6_9.exe in the first field, which is uneditable.  I tried just removing the 3.6.9 files from the folder entirely, and that disabled the game.  The 3.6.10 files in the downloads are in the folder where they should be, but they aren't being used.

You're not necessarily doing anything worngly, but here's how you can make us see what exactly you're doing:

Change your build into a debug build. Debug builds have a -d when normal (release) builds have an -r in the filename. Run the game using that, and then navigate into your ..\FreeSpace2\data\ directory, and post your fs2_open.log, that will tell us what you are doing and what your system is doing.

If your graphics processing unit can't handle the shaders, that should be apparent in the debug log too.

Again, if normal maps isn't an option in the launcher then check the build you're using.  You need to be using a recent 3.6.10 build not the 3.6.9 stable ones.

We The coding people are working on it. You could also help, by going through at least some nightly builds trying to find out if one of them happened to play the cutscenes correctly. If you can find the latest build that scaled the videos properly, provide that information to the SCP people so that they can possibly try to find out if there is some new piece of code that is responsible and if it could be possible to fix it (again).

But this leads me to another question. Can I make a date\table folder in my mediaVP folder, or can I only put that table into the root\data\table folder.
I ask because I also kept the 3.6.8 MediaVPs in another folder in case a mod doesn't like the 3.6.10s and I think this table file could interfere with them.

I noticed that the Hecate and Deimos had a newer effect from 3.6.8 that when the engines are destroyed, you can actually see the engine physically destroyed into a heap of junk and some chunks of debris float off maybe. That is similar to the radar dish of the terran AWACs vessel. Are there more warships currently in the SCP that have that effect when the engine is destroyed? It would be neat that if someday, all warships from cruiser size and above have that effect when their engines are destroyed. Maybe even every subsystem on the warships having that effect when the subsystems are destroyed (a hole and chunks floating off).

They considered this, I believe, but as I recall there were a couple problems with it. The biggest one was this: if the ship's engine system was repaired via SEXP at any point in the mission, the damaged model would remain, and the thruster glows would just float in space in front of this hulk of slag. It looked pretty silly.

FYI guys, in my COTS campaign files I have the HTL Perseus and Ares with fixed insignias. Jsut though you might want to import the insiagnias from my files to have a complete fighter.

Super. Mind giving us a direct link, so we can put them in the patch?

And where's my Athena? :beamz:

Yeah I don't have the speech SDK installed anyway so I can't really make a build with it without investing quite a bit of time, so I'll just let whoever normally makes release builds start the RC line with speech and whatnot.

You mean folder?

When you click the browse button in the launcher there should be a dropdown list saying what type of file to look for. By default it is Freesapce 2 Open.exe exe, but you can change it to "any exe".

However the nightly build IS a Freespace 2 Open exe, so if you cant see it, either you have the build in the wrong directory or you changed the file extension. The nightly build should be in your main Games/Freespace 2 directory.

If you do have the latest nightly build, you should be looking for a file called "fs2_open_3_6_10r-20081217_r5008.exe".

Hmm...It seems normal mapping does not work for me. :(  I only have a built-in nVIDIA GeForce GO 5200 32MB graphics card on a Tablet PC. Everything else looks purtty, though, especially with the higher poly modeled ships.

By the way, just what is the absolute minimum requirement for normal maps? I have the latest DirectX.

Edit 2: What are the default files on "Games\FreeSpace2\" suppose to be again? I have a list of .vp files lying dormant here, but I'm not sure again which ones are essential or left overs from previous SPC updates (it's been quite a long time):

root_fs2.vp
smarty_fs2.vp
sparky_fs2.vp
sparky_hi_fs2.vp
stu_fs2.vp

Is there a difference with each updated nightly build? What is being fixed?

Like Droid said, in each post of a nightly is the log that was associated with that build in SVN.  It doesn't build if there were no changes, so any time there's a build, there's been at least one change made.  If you go to the svn browsers itself you can see the code that changed directly, but the logs are usually pretty explanatory.

Normal maps require a Shader Model 3.0 card, but there's still some issues with some of those cards.

sfried, that looks like the entire list right there, the only other vps you could have in your root folder are the multi mission and voice pack, and the ogg cutscenes.

I have all my ogg cutscens in "Games\Freespace\data\movies\" folder. That's what the previous SPC instructions told me to put it.

Since it seems my graphics card is out of range for Shader Model 3.0, should I just turn normal mapping off to save processing power for performance, or are there some special lighting effects tied to it?

DirectX is unrelated to FSO (, in terms of graphics, that is).

You could also have them in a .vp. I think the Installer downloads them in a .vp that is placed to \freespace2\. But individual ogg files in \freespace2\data\movies indeed work well, so don't worry about it.

Not exactly true. Direct3D isn't used (except with older builds you can select that if OpenGL simply doesn't work, but chances are D3D will still not work correctly), but for example game controller interface uses that part of DirectX (on windows builds), as far as I know anyway. Graphics is just a part of DirectX.

Post by: Grimper on December 20, 2008, 06:52:35 pm
FRED2.exe is the retail version of FRED. In the nightly build you downloaded you should have received the following files:

fred2_open_3_6_10d-20081217_r5008.exe
fred2_open_3_6_10r-20081217_r5008.exe
fs2_open_3_6_10d-20081217_r5008.exe
fs2_open_3_6_10r-20081217_r5008.exe

Now in the launcher you want to be running the last file there.
Ignore FRED2.exe, you won't be using it unless you dont wanna use freespace open anymore.

EDIT: Have a look at this picture to see what you need to be doing.
To see the whole picture open it in a new tab or window by right clicking the picture and selecting"open in new tab" or "open in new window"
Whether you have tabs or not depends on what version of IE/Firefox you use. Get firefox if you dont have it....it pwns

That probably is old enough that it has the same problem the ATI hardware does.  The problem was with DDS files with one component of their resolution being incredibly small, like 4xsomething.  Nvidia probably just fixed it sooner, which is why you have go all the way back to a FX 5200 to see it.  And a Go at that.  I don't even know if that's like a regular 5200, cause mine has 256MB of ram.  How do the MediaVPs run on that hardware anyway?

They run pretty rock solid. I'm able to run games like Half-Life 2 at 30fps with low shader settings, and I only have 32MB in this built-in card. The Media VPs run around the 50-60 mark with the occassional dip to 30-40. As I've said earlier, the normal maps don't show up, but the specular highlights and everything else still make it very good to look at.

I'm not so sure about the videos, since 3.6.9 never seemed run into the scaling problems at all.

HM, it looks like 'Zing' is pretty well understood by the majority of the community here, so you're attack about how it's hard to understand slang seems pretty baseless at this point.

Also, I don't know how...on earth...you got that out of what Zacam said.  His problem is that you seem to be taking all the credit for solving your problem on your own, as if nothing in this thread helped you in reaching your solution, because your statement contains a certain air of...arrogance is the best word I can come up with.  Your interpretation of what Zacam said only seems to back it up as well.
...If you don't like what I say and you don't like me, why bother wasting time quoting me like you want to fuel an argument?...

I'm just doing it for the lulz man.  I have to point out when someone is wrong on the internet (http://xkcd.com/386/).

Plus, it doesn't take the reading of many of your posts to see that you enjoy routinely accusing people of having no life.  In fact, pretty much everything you've been attacking others for is something you've done (except using slang, you've been sticking to your guns on that one).  I'm not saying no one else is doing these things, including myself, I'm just saying we're not being hypocrites about it.

Max, do you have to make this kind of lecture like every 5th post you write?  Seriously, if you don't like it here, then just go. You poison these threads with negativeness and arrogance. The 3.6.10 mediavps are not just good. They are brilliant, awesome considering the team aren't paid for what they're doing but they produce graphics comparable to the latest games around.

To be honest, I think that you wouldn't even be here if the team had nothing to give to you or be useful in any way.

Agreematory.

It would indeed seem like you, High Max, think that playing video games == not having a life. What is wrong with you? Everyone here plays video games. That does not necessarily mean that they do it 24/7. Video games are a hobby. They are played when there is time from work/studies, other hobbies and such. Is that really the same thing as not having a life?

I, for one, really cannot keep a track on your statements. First you barge in here claiming that the new MediaVPs are bad because they have a few bugs. When someone points out that the number of bugs is relatively small compared to previous releases, you start a "I didn't say they're bad. I have a right for an opinion! I have a life, you don't!" rant, which doesn't make much sense. Then, some time later, some GPU-related issue is solved here and you arrive here to thank yourself for it. When someone points out that other people were also helpful, you start a "No, that's not what I meant. I don't want any credit. I have a life, you don't." rant, which again does not make sense.

Partially it would also seem that you think we don't have lives, because we spend time trying to help other members of HLP with any FreeSpace-related problems they might be having. I wouldn't call that "having no life", but rather a byproduct of maintaining a good, functioning community. The spirit here is high and we all behave well. You, on the other hand, seem to want to damage this community spirit every chance you get.

Now. You have the MediaVPs. You have some of your (FreeSpace-related) issues solved. Could you now stop trying to make each and every thread be about you?

Hi,
the 3.6.10.  mediavps are really great and awesome. But i have small bug with the beam of the BFRed. The graphic problem is a litte bit hard to explain, so i make a screenshot:

(http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/u18jkj0/screen0013.jpg)

All other beams work great, it just the big red one, which has additional green lines in it and at least twice the size of the regular beam.
Did someone else has the problem

I'm using:
AMD2+ 3x2300 GHZ
8 GB RAM
ATi X1950 PRo
Vista 64 Bit

POTENTIAL FIX FOR SHIVAN BEAM ISSUES

I would like to request anyone experiencing problems with the Shivan beams to download these 16x512 resolution (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?yqq5mjmtlzl) textures and paste the three files (SBeamAB, SBeamAD and SBeamAE) into ..\FreeSpace2\mediavps\data\effects\.

I think (and hope) the purpose of that shot was not a support request per ce but instead to show that the issue isn't limited to ATi hardware/drivers, but rather to older GPU's in general. ShadowGorrath had the same issue with Intel integrated graphics, if I recall correctly (might've also been some older nvidia card), so it seems more dependant on the age of the hardware than the manufacturer.

Nevertheless, we've isolated the cause and distributed the fix to the issue, even though we still don't quite know what exactly is the reason some GPU's fail at using these files; they should be DDS standard-compliant (otherwise I don't think we could even save them as DDS files) so it leads me to think that some old GPU's don't fully support all the modern features of DDS specification, or some jazz like that. Screen resolution doesn't have anything to do with it, but the texture resolution does - original 4x1024 resolution beam haze textures caused problems on some GPU's, while the 16x512 resolution files I provided in the fix... fix it. :p

Isn't there a Common Issues thread that common issues could go in? :nervous:

I think i have a possible answer for you all with rainbow beams...  somewhat.

i remember that when normal maps were introduced they were for SM3.0 capable cards only. someone afterwards added some simplification of the code that would allow SM2.0 capable cards to render normal maps too. (this basically marked the engine switch from OpenGL 1.2 to OpenGL 2.0 or 2.1, not too sure bout that...)

it might be related to that particular shader code. i will test on my other pc if the disco beams of doom happen or not. (this pc has a geforce 9600GT, the old one has geforce 5700)

Just to be on the safe side, the Tech Room should display the normal map effects on ships, right? I still wondered why the Briefing Room models (the ones which appeared when you clicked on the icons during Briefing) and targeting system display the model but stripped of any effects. I know it's for performance reasons, but now the colors on the bare-bones models look screwed up.

Perhaps they could simply implement a simple lighting effect to "correct" the problem?

Yes, they're not the same.

HTL comes from Hardware Transform and Lighting. It refers to complex lighting and models which rely in GPU display processing rather than only on CPU one. But as a simplification, all the people use HTL as a synonym of "hi-polied" and therefore more detailed than original, specially when speaking about ship models.

Normal maps are special textures used to get that effect (tweaking light/shade per pixel you can get nearly 3D detail on a fully flat 2D surface). Mediavps include a lot of these textures even for low-poly retail models. These textures are not displayed, but they are just used to tell the normal map shader how to evaluate this effect on every "common" texture pixel.

(But, as you can suppose, normal map effect is done through GPU, not CPU. So in fact, normal mapping is a HTL one  ;))
Title: Re: RELEASE: 3.6.10 Media VPs
Post by: Vasudan Admiral on December 28, 2008, 05:38:37 am
Calling them 'HTLed ships' and pretty much all varients of that is technically nonsense. They're more accurately described as high detail rebuilds or something, but we've just pinched the 'HTL' term to neatly abbreviate that concept into a distinctive upgraded vs not-upgraded tag. As long as I'm around the term will stick too. :p :D

Watch as the definition of 'HTLed' changes over time to include normal maps - just as it absorbed glow and shine maps before it. ;)

I think that was not entirely correct.  The new shaders in the final MediaVPs do have some tweaks, to slightly lower the requirements among other things, but I don't believe it was dropped to SM2.0.   The way GLSL was implemented just could not work well at that level from what I understand.  All the OpenGL fixes Taylor and Echelon have been tinkering with in the last couple of weeks should be in a test build within a couple of days and in SVN within a week I hope.

New poster here, played the original FS2 back in 1999 and love that its updated! Great work!

Having issues getting normal maps working with 3.6.10

Im running iMac running XP under Bootcamp
GFX is ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro

I have the 3.6.10 mediavps (mv_complete)

Im using the latest Nightly build (fs2_open_3_6_10r-20081231_r5024.exe)

I made sure the -height and -normal tags are present

I tried no shader vp, sdr1119.vp, shaders.vp, and sdr003.vp in the mediavps folder

As far as i can tell, no normal or height maps on the models, i use the F3 model viewer in the game, and the option to turn normal or height maps are nonexistant.

The only time i've seen normal maps work is if i use an old build from 2007 (fs2_open_3_6_10-20071028T.exe) but its slow as molasses and unplayable...

any ideas?
 Thanks!

Yeah, you probably have things set up correctly based on your description, it's just that macs have issues with the shaders (I have no further knowledge of the nature of the problem, the shaders just tend not to work AFAIK - I don't know if anyone exactly knows why they won't work).

You could try windowed mode (which apparently sometimes helps), or just not use them for now... :nervous:

EDIT: Strike that, you're using WinXP... dumb me.

Try using a debug build, then post the debug log that it generates at ..\FreeSpace2\data\fs2_open.log. Thats should tell us what's going on with the OpenGL initialization phase...

My gut feeling still says it might have something to do with your computer having "Mac" in it's name. Perhaps Apple GPU BIOS is wreaking havoc on the card's capabilities when you use XP drivers on it... or something. I dunno. POst the debug log and we'll know more. :p

You seem to have the game set up correctly, but there is something weird going on...

First, I notice this...

Code: [Select]
-mod mediavps,mediavps
  -loadallweps
Building file index...
Found root pack 'C:\Program Files\Freespace2\mediavps\MV_Complete.vp' with a checksum of 0x31df7754
Found root pack 'C:\Program Files\Freespace2\mediavps\mv_music.vp' with a checksum of 0xbbd92e16
Found root pack 'C:\Program Files\Freespace2\mediavps\MV_Complete.vp' with a checksum of 0x31df7754
Found root pack 'C:\Program Files\Freespace2\mediavps\mv_music.vp' with a checksum of 0xbbd92e16

since you have the mediavps as both primary and secondary mod, it's finding and apparently loading the two VP's there twice.

I don't think this should cause problems but it's wrong and should be fixed; either you have a mod.ini file on your main FS2 folder and you have also specified mediavps as a mod in the MOD tab of the launcher, or custom command line... Try selecting No Mod, or rename the mod.ini on the FS2 root directory as mod.ini.disabled or something like that so it doesn't interfere with anything for now.

Secondly, it seems FS2_Open isn't even attempting to compile the shaders as you run it. Normally, you would get a list of "compiling shader X" and whether or not it could do it, then it would tell if it's using GLSL or not. Usually this points to lack of shaders present or the GPU/drivers having missing extensions or something. However, as you have MV_Complete in your system, you do have the shader files so that isn't the issue... and indeed it seems there are two missing extensions, however I am not quite sure if they are crucial for the shaders to work or not (probably are and regardless of that it would obviously be preferable for them to be not missing)

Are your graphics card drivers up to date? Aside from that, I'm afraid my ability to help further is rather limited. :blah:


Also... for future reference, editing posts is preferable to double posting. These threads tend to get long enough without such help. ;)

Addendum: You would also do well to drop the -height flag for now. There shouldn't be any data that actually uses it in the MediaVP's - the height mapping doesn't seem to provide enough visual goods for the performance cost, so the height maps were dropped from the VP's. Normal maps are more than enough for all the ship models there are currently; height mapping works better on things such as terrain models and stuff like that...

And yes, the typhon, like the zephyrus before it was removed because it simply broke too many things and would have been too much time and effort to fix for relatively little gain. IIRC it caused a couple of inexplicable crashes from time to time.

Broke things? Caused crashes? When? What? (always worked fine for me)
How come nobody told me anything?


Oh, b.t.w - I've been getting PM asking me about the HTL Demon lately. Just to tell you guys - it's not dead, but it's not moving much lately. I've been working on it, but in the last few weeks I got an urge to mod something else, so it's kinda in a slow phase. Not to mention that no matter what I do, I hate the rear end :P

As I recall, opening the typhon caused an immediate CTD upon viewing it in the ship lab under debug - probably due to the missing texture.

Sorry Trashman, but the model also:
-> Had 3 additional textures over the already hefty 6 textures of the original
-> More turrets than the original, and though they don't actually fire unless table activated, they still look like turrets to players trying to disarm by sight
-> Lacked LODs and debris - the latter would have especially been a problem for a certain ST:R mission as it turns out
-> Replaced the hanger tubes that bend out of sight with an indented wall that docking fighters fly straight through whilst still in plain sight
-> At least doubled (sometimes much more) the tiling factor on every texture on the map, making the repeated patterns stand out rather painfully in a lot of places
-> Added only a small amount of smoothness to the surface and added very little in the way of detail beyond a handful of indents and a couple of extrusions not counting the added turrets

None of the team was willing to devote time to fix such issues, and so it was voted to remove it. I personally think of it more as a modification (upgunning) of the Typhon than a HTL upgrade in terms of detail added.

Which version of the Typhon did you use?
I know I have several. One where the extra turrets are modeled differently, so they look like panoramic windows, one without extra turrets ...and I know I did make a version with all lods.

I think that was not entirely correct.  The new shaders in the final MediaVPs do have some tweaks, to slightly lower the requirements among other things, but I don't believe it was dropped to SM2.0.   The way GLSL was implemented just could not work well at that level from what I understand.  All the OpenGL fixes Taylor and Echelon have been tinkering with in the last couple of weeks should be in a test build within a couple of days and in SVN within a week I hope.
I guess there goes my hopes for viewing normal maps with my measly built-in GeForce GO 5200. Still looks nice with all the other fancy effects, though. The only thing that sticks out is the Myrmadon model, which isn't as "shiny" as the rest.

Is it REALLY that hard to chop off turrets in PCS2?
There is a version with the (retail) Typhon debris, and with LODs.

However, the tiling factors should really be fixed, along with the stretching in front of the hangars, and the odd triangle in front of the bridge deck. A bit more detail to the front area would be very nice too.

To be honest, due to the nature of the typhon's main texture, I would say you couldn't have picked a more difficult ship to upgrade out of the entire FS fleet. ;) The details of the texture and the shape of the hull it's being applied to just do not mesh very well when it comes to corners and other bumpy parts, and the weird subspace light texture on the bridge and tips of the arms just makes it trickier. It definitely needs careful UV mapping and a lot of careful shaping to form distinct hull surfaces rather than just lumpy/smooth polys connecting to more lumpy/smooth polys.

I'm not sure if the installer has the new VPs yet. The easy way to find out is to have a look in your mediavps mod folder. If you have lots of VP files and some that begin with '710' then it's using 3.6.8. If it's just showing 'MV_Complete' (or the individual MV files listed in the first post of this thread) then it's using the 3.6.10 VPs.

I just tried a FS2 campaign with all of those candies and it's greate.

However I noticed somenthing:
in "sixth wonder" mission, NTF corvette Hawkwood forward beam cannons are acting strange. They shoot like normal Terran slash but sometimes they shoot something that looks and soonds like SGreen (from the same turret) - how it's possible? Is it possible to change turrets weapon during mission via FRED, or even force a turret to fire some other type of beam/turret without forcing them to change weapon loadout DURING mission ?

I just checked, you can change weapons of any ship through a SEXP sequence.

Example...

Event Name
   when
      has-time-elapsed
         16
      turret-change-weapon
         GTD Orion 1
         turret01a
         MjolnirBeam
         0
         0

After 16 seconds (And yes this is an odd weapon swap) one of the THT barrels becomes the Mjolnir's beam cannon.

I don't think they would be coming from the same turret. If I recall correctly, one of the front beams is a TerSlash, and one is an SGreen all the time in that mission.

First off, great stuff, love the new media vps, its great to see the project progress so much so often. I'm lurking always, and I get so exited when new toys come out.
I like most of the cosmetic changes, especially the retro warp effect...not that hyperintelligent blue wasn't cool, but these are just great.
not as thrilled with the new engine glows, though - does anyone know where I can find the previous incarnations of the engine glows? you know, the slightly fan or fishtail like stringy orange rays from vasudan engines, and the pulsing organic shivan ones? the ones I have now are good and all, and more faithful to the originals, but I've grown fond of the more stylized glows. if the glows haven't changed from .9 to .10, let me know, and I'll know it's on my end.
once again ,thank you all for a great job on the new mediavps. It seems freespace will suck me in, yet again, and now that I've determined the correct fov, it even looks great on my widescreen HDTV Christmas present. merry Christmas indeed.

Okay, I cleared cache and it is still doing the thing. I notice that full detail appears as I near the craft, which leads me to conclude that this is a mipmapping issue. If anyone knows how to bypass mipmapping in some way other than unchecking "enable mipmapping" (since I did that), could you tell me how to do this? If there is no other way, I must arrive at the conclusion that Nightly build 5034 is incapable of turning off mipmapping.

To check, I'm going to use the lowest 3.6.10 capable build.
EDIT:
Which failed epically. I can't turn off mipmapping. Does anyone have a solution? If so, go to http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,60325.0.html (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,60325.0.html) and post it up.

My guess about the sathanas is that you have rogue data doing that - I'm certain that the one in the MVPs is there and stable. Check your Freespace2\data (and subfolders) for anything - especially rogue "SuperCap2S-01.pof" files. Also check for rogue mod VPs in your main directory that should have their own mod folder.

As for the mipmapping - maybe you've got abnormally low settings in your drivers? Have a look there, and also check that the in-game graphics options are set to full - I've forgotten that sometimes with new installs and I think new pilots. Those settings have a dramatic effect on the in-game detail.

Hmm... Try and see what the in-game graphical options say about your 3D hardware texture detail level. Obviously you should max the in-game options to get the most out of the MediaVP's. (F2->Detail-> 3D Hardware Textures). What you describe is symptomatic to having that set to lower setting than max, as it basically just picks lower LOD layer from the DDS files as the "first to be shown" and effectively reduces VRAM consumption and amount of detail visible on the textures.

Another possibility is that the mipmap LOD bias setting is, for some reason, misadjusted so that textures show up in smaller resolution than their apparent diameter on the screen... but unless you use RivaTuner, ATiTool or have used in the past, I don't know if you even would get access to those settings, so I kinda doubt that. Also check what level of anisotropic filtering you have enabled on GPU driver control panel, as the AF setting on the Launcher seems to be doing much of nothing on my installation.

Regarding mipmapping - you really don't want to turn that off per ce... You want it to be at suitable strength so that it shows the appropriate texture LOD depending on the apparent size of the texture on the screen, which properly done reduces the nasty shimmering (aliasing) effects on textures. Anisotropic filtering does basically the same, but improves the texture handling when they are seen from an angle.

Post by: esarai on January 10, 2009, 10:18:35 am
Hmm... never used any of those tools, and aside from the GPU AF setting that I can't find, all the settings are set to maximum. Is there some flag that will allow me to force the bias level to something acceptable?

Well, I just got these, and I appear to have a problem.  I'm pretty sure the normal maps aren't working.  Tell me a ship that this would be obvious on so I can take a screenshot from the tech room (no Shivans please, I just restarted the main caimpagn).  It is enabled in the launcher.  I deleted everytyhing but the music mvp (the front page said it didn't have it) before puting the new ones in.  I also cleared the cache from freespace/data.  Sorry it this has been answered. but I didn't want to search through all 27 pages.

Also the planets seem like they've been 8-bitified and the transparency isn't working.

Could this all be from the "unrecognized command 'jpgtga'"?

If you follow the steps in the first post (you shouldn't need anything else from within the thread), then it definitely should be working - the jpgtga error implies that you have different command lines specified in the launcher. Can you go over the steps again to be certain? With those settings normal maps should be hugely obvious on the thoth, aten, amazon advanced, herc 2 etc.

If it's still not working, can you run a debug build and post the log here?

With a 3.6.10 build, -jpgtga is obsolete. It's enabled by default. And the Aeolus has very visible (and :yes: ) normal maps, as do the Demon and Ravana :P

As for the transparency issue, check Launcher. Under the "Video" tab, Color Depth should be set to 32-bit. At 16, the planets are opaque indeed.

They often fix things. And of course it is good to have people testing them so that possible bugs and such would surface more easily.

Post by: chief1983 on January 14, 2009, 11:38:37 am
At the moment, they're more highly recommended because the official release builds are over 2 years old now.  After 3.6.10 is released, hopefully subsequent releases are closer together and we will only recommend trunk builds to those who really need them, if you've been hindered by a now fixed bug or if you're working on the code itself.  Otherwise release builds should go back to being the recommended builds for most users.

Yes.

You have no hope of seeing normal maps with a GeForce 4 MX. You need at least GeForce 6 series card, if I recall correctly (my GF6600 shows the normal maps -but frame rates are not something to celebrate for...).

Post by: sfried on January 18, 2009, 02:46:38 am
I just tried the latest nightly build (Jan 16 2009), and I must say, I kept checking to see if I was running at 2x speed just to make sure my eyes were not fooling me: Its running at a faster frame rate than the previous build I had (Jan 5 2009). Everything runs incredibly slick that it was a little unnerving.

It's too bad I don't have the hardware to see all this with normal mapping, but the other effects are more than sufficient enough.

Edit: It seems I get the higher frame rates when playing in a nebula stage. Could it be the limited draw distance?

I've downloaded the MediaVPs, but they appear to be compressed in the form of .7v files. I've never seen these before and don't have anything that can open them. Can anyone help?

Who added the MediaVPs to Turey's Installer? There have been like a dozen reports about them being corrupt this week. The symptoms are always the same: missing models, missing textures, game crashes when just trying to play the FS2 campaign... the source used by the Installer is obviously having issues.

Don't want to sound angry or rude, but you know. This can be a little frustrating/intimidating/depressing for new people.
Title: Re: RELEASE: 3.6.10 Media VPs
Post by: Goober5000 on January 23, 2009, 07:15:20 pm
I added the text file, but Turey added the mediavps themselves.  Since the Installer doesn't support 7zip, he had to download them, re-compile them, and upload them to his own server.

Hey guys. I just noticed the new MediaVPs and got myself a new fresh install of Freespace to try them out. However, I'm having some serious issues and can't figure out why. :(

- Issue 1: I'm getting errors such as "ERROR: "Bad ID in model file <bomber04.pof>" at model/modelread.cpp:2014".
- Issue 2: Parts of ships are missing! The textures aren't being rendered I guess? Screenshots are attached.

It's currently unplayable for me, but I certainly hope it will be soon.
I'm running this with a 2.5GHz dual core AMD processor, and a GeForce 9500 GT 512MB 128-bit gfx card. Thanks in advance for your help!

If you used Turey's online java installer to download the mediaVP's there's a high possibility that the MV_Assets.vp is corrupt partially, which could cause errors in some models and textures.

To me it looks like you have both model file errors and missing textures, so as the first recommendation I would suggest that you re-download the Assets VP from FreeSpaceMods (link found in the opening post of this thread), or if you did so, re-extract the file and check it's integrity with the MD5 checksums.

And like Lobo said, it's actually recommendable to download them all manually, since there might be issues you haven't noticed on other VP's as well.

I'm new to the whole freespace open thing, and while trying to figure it out for nearly 2 horus i've given up and decided to look for help.
When i run mediavps as a mod (or any mod for that matter) I click on the button that gets you into the campaign (Campaign room?) and it loads for a second, then crashes, either by saying there was an error and needs to close or by just closing.
I know whoever reads this will just tell me I'm a retard and show my stupid and obvious mistakes... but it's worth it for such a great game...

I'm new to the whole freespace open thing, and while trying to figure it out for nearly 2 horus i've given up and decided to look for help.
When i run mediavps as a mod (or any mod for that matter) I click on the button that gets you into the campaign (Campaign room?) and it loads for a second, then crashes, either by saying there was an error and needs to close or by just closing.
I know whoever reads this will just tell me I'm a retard and show my stupid and obvious mistakes... but it's worth it for such a great game...



Hi, and welcome to the forums! :)

First thing I would suggest is that you rename your FS2 directory from "freespace 2" to "freespace2" without the space. It's most likely not related to the problems you are experiencing, but it is good practice and might cause problems on some rare cases at some point.

Second thing - your command line is very barren at the moment, might be because of attempted troubleshooting, but if you're just running with "-mod mediavps" command line you are missing on most of the engine improvements. My command line looks like this:

Code: [Select]
Passed cmdline options:
  -spec_exp 15
  -fov 0.55
  -ogl_spec 30
  -spec_static 1.5
  -spec_point 1.2
  -spec_tube 1.5
  -ambient_factor 35
  -env
  -mipmap
  -missile_lighting
  -glow
  -nomotiondebris
  -spec
  -no_emissive_light
  -normal
  -cache_bitmaps
  -no_vsync
  -dualscanlines
  -rearm_timer
  -targetinfo
  -3dwarp
  -ship_choice_3d
  -warp_flash
  -snd_preload
  -mod mediavps

Some options need to be put on the custom flags text window on Features, but otherwise you should definitely turn a lot of stuff on - you certainly have the hardware to support it! GeForce 8800GTS should be able to use all the bells and whistles in the MediaVP's without any difficulties...

Thirdly, you don't need the CD's to play FS2_Open, and your game is detecting retail VP's in E:\ drive, so remove the CD from the drive.

finally, your debug log shows the following:

Code: [Select]
Searching root pack 'C:\games\freespace 2\mediavps\MV_Advanced.vp' ... 2610 files
Searching root pack 'C:\games\freespace 2\mediavps\MV_Assets.vp' ... 1679 files
Searching root pack 'C:\games\freespace 2\mediavps\MV_Core.vp' ... 72 files
Searching root pack 'C:\games\freespace 2\mediavps\MV_Effects.vp' ... 1022 files
Searching root pack 'C:\games\freespace 2\mediavps\MV_Music.vp' ... 15 files
while it should show the following (copied from my debug log):

Code: [Select]
Searching root pack 'G:\Pelit\FreeSpace2\mediavps-trad\MV_Advanced.vp' ... 2610 files
Searching root pack 'G:\Pelit\FreeSpace2\mediavps-trad\MV_Assets.vp' ... 1867 files
Searching root pack 'G:\Pelit\FreeSpace2\mediavps-trad\MV_Core.vp' ... 139 files
Searching root pack 'G:\Pelit\FreeSpace2\mediavps-trad\MV_Effects.vp' ... 1032 files
Searching root pack 'G:\Pelit\FreeSpace2\mediavps-trad\MV_Music.vp' ... 32 files
A lot of files missing from your VP's it seems. This means that the majority of your VP files are corrupt most likely due to aborted download by Turey's installer, so you should probably download them manually from this thread's first post. Partial VP files mean that some data will fail to load, which shouldn't technically cause a CTD but that would be the most likely culprit in this question.

You might want to consider downloading the MV_Complete.VP instead of the separate files, since you definitely can use the Advanced stuff as well.

Greatest Help Ever? Just maybe...

It's actually funny that you tell me to rename the folder cause I did that a loooong time ago... if it's still coming up that i have the space could that cause further problems? I hope not...

Otherwise thanks for all the help... I'm sure it should all be fixed... We'll soon see!!!

Post by: Herra Tohtori on February 11, 2009, 06:29:07 pm
If you've changed the dir name it should be reflected in the debug log.

Here's what you should do, rename the fs2_open.log to fs2_open.log.old, then re-run a debug build to the point where it crashes. Then re-post the newly generated debug log just to be sure it's valid.

By the way what operating system are you using?

Post by: Jeff Vader on February 12, 2009, 01:29:40 am
As a side note, the "spaces in folder names" thing has been fixed for a long time, so it shouldn't cause anything with 3.6.9 and 3.6.10 builds.
Title: Re: RELEASE: 3.6.10 Media VPs
Post by: Herra Tohtori on February 12, 2009, 02:25:02 am
But... using spaces in directory names and paths is just... wrong... :(

I still think using no spaces in directory names is good practice. Besides with computers you never know when an old old issue comes back to bite you in the arse...

Hey everyone, I'm running 3.6.10 vp's with Mv_Complete.vp.  I'm interested in checking out some of the fighter interiors with the 'show-ship' flag, but can't figure out how to access the ships.tbl inside mv_complete. 
Maybe i can just put my own little .tbl specifying which ships I want to show into a folder somewhere and it'll override the relevant section of the full .tbl.  This true?  if so where does it go? 
Title: Re: RELEASE: 3.6.10 Media VPs
Post by: Herra Tohtori on February 17, 2009, 12:47:07 pm
That would be a modular ship table with the name ****-shp.tbm, not a tbl file.

It's relatively easy to do. It's probably best if you make a new mod directory for testing this kind of stuff, eg. ..\FreeSpace2\cockpits_visible\data\tables\

Then create an empty text file into that directory and name it for example cockpits_visible-shp.tbm (take care that you don't make it ****-shp.tbm.txt), and paste the following into the file:

Code: [Select]
#Ship Classes

;;Terran Fighters. All the terran ships included here do have cockpits, but
;;some might or might not work well depending on how picky you are.

;;If you want to disable some ship model from showing, just remove or comment out
;;the appropriate section.

$Name: GTF Ulysses
+nocreate
$Flags: ("show ship")
+noreplace

$Name: GTF Hercules
+nocreate
$Flags: ("show ship")
+noreplace

$Name: GTF Loki
+nocreate
$Flags: ("show ship")

$Name: GTF Hercules Mark II

$Name: GTF Ares

$Flags: ("show ship")
+noreplace

$Name: GTF Erinyes
+nocreate
$Flags: ("show ship")
+noreplace

$Name: GTF Pegasus
+nocreate
$Flags: ("show ship")
+noreplace

$Name: GTF Perseus
+nocreate
$Flags: ("show ship")
+noreplace

;;Terran Bombers

$Name: GTB Medusa
+nocreate
$Flags: ("show ship")
+noreplace

$Name: GTB Ursa
+nocreate
$Flags: ("show ship")
+noreplace

$Name: GTB Zeus
+nocreate
$Flags: ("show ship")
+noreplace

#End
You can modify this file to include other ships or exclude some that don't have suitable views (Erinyes is a bit annoying for example).

Now, in order to actually use this file, you need to activate this mod in conjunction with the MediaVP's, which is in my opinion easiest to do by simply going to Launcher's "Features" tab, and typing -mod cockpits_visible,mediavps (plus other flags you might be using) on the Custom flags field.

Yes. It would be nice if it was fixed.

Thank you, - its amazing that the level of detail in the cock-pitted fighters is built into the model itself...I understand the newer versions of FSopen have support for separate cockpit models entirely - It'd be a blessing to see some dedicated 'pit models in action someday.

He turned on the show ship model in the ship's table, to see the cockpit built into the model.  But the eyepoint in the model is too far back so his vantage point is wrong, and he's actually seeing from behind the pilot.

At the Herc 1's sides. Your shots can bypass the shields. Mostly seen in ToF when you have to test their shields, but you can see that as well when flying a Herc 1, as some shots bypass the shields... Makes the Herc 1's shielding semi-useless. Has it been fixed? Cause it feels like it's not.

It's pretty funny to blow a fully-shielded Herc up with an ML-16. I've set ship-guardian-threshold on those ships in my development build of that mission so it won't happen again. :lol:

After spending an hour shooting at a MediaVP Herc 1, there are no holes in the shield mesh that allow a Subach or ML-16 to penetrate through to the hull.

The only time shots hit the hull is when the shield quadrant became low enough to allow a hit to be possible.

So, if those shields are evaporating too fast in a campaign/mission, check the tables and mission to see if the shields are weakened.

You guys may be using an older, corrupt or just different POF in your cases.

Or...reading your posts again have you actually encountered this with 3.6.10 data or are these old results?

Hey guys...is your Revelation ambient track working properly? A long while ago I noticed that it resets after a few seconds. Are you experiencing the same problem?
A couple of tracks are not looped properly in the high quality mv_music.vp.

Quote from: Ransom Arceihn on February 19, 2009, 11:57:21 am
Yes. It would be nice if it was fixed.

Well, actually, what would be nice is if the entire music table system was overhauled to make it less silly in general but there's more important things for the SCP to be worrying about.
I agree. The FMVs could also use some remastering as well.

#SoundTrack End

#Menu Music Start

#Menu Music End

I'm replacing the old attachment with the content of the .tbm.





On a side note...I decided to play the main FS2 campaign with the new MVPs and found out a few, debatable things. I'm not here to criticize the GTD Carthage's replacement and such...I want to discuss the presence of ship prefixes in names. Canonically, they're not widely used in FS2 and I don't see the point in adding them now.

In the first mission, it was weird to me to read this:

GVD Psamtik
GVD Hatshepsut

NTCv Belisarius
NTCv Deimos



I like the fact that the FSU team has added proper Alt Names, though.

It's March.

Should this current build (5078, or maybe we should say 5068 and up) of FS0 3.6.10 be finalized (i.e classify as "stable") as the official release? It seems enough bugs have been squashed and performance is leaps and bounds better than what it was 3 months ago thanks to Taylor's fixes. All they have to do is inlcude the music_vp with the correct tables and such along with the Sathanas beam fix. Or are we still waiting for the new models?

sfried, your post seems a bit confused.  The MediaVPs and the SCP executable are two different entities.  They don't necessarily have to be released at the same time.  To my knowledge though, the MediaVP team would like to wait until the SCP build is finalized so there aren't any last minute surprises before releasing the next update.  Also, as stable as the SCP build has become, there's still a couple of issues that some coders are working on right now that probably need to be ironed out before a release.

The nature of SCP is that it is constantly improving.  The fact is, if you choose to stick with a particular build (even a final one) for any extended period of time, it will be outdated sooner or later, and most likely sooner.
Title: Re: RELEASE: 3.6.10 Media VPs
Post by: chief1983 on March 05, 2009, 12:37:42 am
The only real purpose of updating your build is if you're actively helping us hunt down issues or if you're running into an existing problem that's already been fixed in a newer build.  Otherwise it shouldn't hurt to miss a few nightly builds now and then.  We do appreciate the users who do take the time to try out the latest and greatest though, it definitely helps the process, but as blowfish said, that process will likely never end.  Some people have the time to spend on staying bleeding edge and others don't, no biggie.

The question is why keep ancient builds in existance and on a downlaod site when they are buggy compared to the newer ones? Why not just delete builds that are say 2 years old and from things like SCP 3.6.5? No reason to keep them in existance.
Some campaigns/mods refuse to work properly with newer builds. And there are not enough people to restore campaigns/mods for newer builds.

High Max, don't tell me you've never deleted something, then shortly thereafter wished you hadn't.  I don't know if we still have the codebase at the time those builds were made, so if they were deleted it might be hard to get them back.  Even then it's still not really hurting anything, they're not huge files.

I am 100% with Mobius on this one. In fact, I don't remember a time when I agreed with him more.

Prefixes are redundant. It's regular procedure in FreeSpace to just have the name of the ship rather than including the prefix. There were very few missions which included prefixes in Retail (the only ones I can remember are the SOC Loops). The fact that they've been added back really seems to me not really pointless, but an annoying addition.

Given that the MediaVPs are considered 'official', they really set the standard for other campaigns. The MediaVPs having these annoying prefixes seems to make them stand out to me as a sort of oddball or anomaly that really needs to be changed. Worse is the fact that the prefix naming convention isn't uniform throughout the campaign with some missions not having them while some others do.

Ransom's vote has me.

I was the one that did that out of a need for consistency and I decided on including the prefix because it also shows on the Nameplate texture.

Alternatively, the prefix could be dropped from the Ship Class line.

A: Remove prefix from Ship Name, leaving everything else be
B: Remove prefix from displaying in Ship Class instead

Keep for class and nameplate, definitely.  Also, the ship class should be GT regardless of whether it's Terran GTVA or Terran NTF.  Only one mission (The Romans Blunder) in FS1, ST, or FS2 ever used alternate names for rebel ships.  Even if the NTF is using a ship, it's still a GTVA design.  (The only NTF-designed ship, the Iceni, remains consistent with this rule.)

I personally prefer to keep the prefix on the ship name as well, but that varies a lot, even in the canon campaigns.

Hmmm, well I personally preferred the designation prefixes in front of the name. It made it more formal to me, like USS John Stennis, instead of like

-John Stennis, USS Nimitz Class Carrier

And the Aquitaine is always/usually referred to as the "GTD Aquitaine", and not "Aquitaine", I mean of course you'd refer to it like that casually. But as soon as you drop the prefixes these stop being the names of Multi-Trillion-Dollar warships and just become "Proper Nouns". IMO anyway

Barring FS1, the only canon missions which used prefixes were the SOC loops (Rebels and Renegades, Love the Treason..., ...But Hate the Traitor, As Lightning Fall and Into the Lion's Den). The rest (Should I really list them?) didn't use them prefixes.

I do. I was just wondering which one will be considered the final build...of 3.6.10 at least. There's already talk of a 3.6.11, and if that one doesn't need any more "patching" (i.e. basically anything that has to do with sticking additional stuff in the mediavps folder), I'm considering a fresh reinstall of FS2Open just for it.

Either I'm confused, or you are.  There will likely never be a 'final'.  The SCP is always going to be evolving.  You also sound like you're getting the SCP confused with the MediaVPs.  The SCP is very close to Release Candidate stage, the MediaVPs will likely release the next official update to the main release after there is a final 3.6.10 SCP build.

I also agree with Mobius' stance.  People are generally smart enough to figure out that just because the ship's name is shown as "Fenris" doesn't necessarily mean it isn't really "GTC Fenris"

after a conversation in Irc last night ( based around gameplay and fps in asteroid fields) i am convinced there is a difference in the Mvp complete and the mvp individual...

so my question is are they exactly the same

and /or does the game handle them in the same way


i played the same mission (first dogfight in multiplayer with asteroids) with mvps complete and with mvps individual, and i had a difference of 10fps between the 2,

the mvps complete started lower , and did not mount so high , starting at 15fps and very slowly mounting to 20 fps and occasionally geting to 25fps

the mvps individual started at 26fps and mounted to 40+ fps

so are the files different or is it how the game deals with the mvps

can anyone one else duplicate this ? last night one other person tried and had a 10fps difference , i tried this 5 times , clearing the cache and data folder each time and had the same results .....

That does sound odd. There were concerns during development that such a large single filesize as would be the case with MV_Complete could cause problems, but we never found any evidence of reported problems in the past with stuff like BTRL or TBP's single large VPs.

Content-wise I'm downloading MV_Complete now to be sure, but yeah as far as I'm aware MV_Complete should be exactly what you'd get if you unpacked all the individual MVPs to a folder - doing MV_Advanced last so it's contents overwrote some of that of MV_Effects and MV_Assets with higher detail versions.

that is really interesting, ive always had lower frame rate issues in TBP, i thought this was down to bugs etc , as the ships dont have normal maps etc .... but maybe it is file size ..;;;

I'd try unpacking everything and sticking it in the data folder. If having all your things in a single VP file is really slowing down performance somehow, then having everything sprawled out in their "normal" directories should alleviate that. If that doesn't work, I'm guessing something else is at play here.

Wasn't sure where to post about this, but I figured this was as good a place as any.  I'm holding down the fort here alone for this week, so I decided that it was the perfect opportunity to see how FS2_Open runs on the family machine, which is substantially beefier than my own and can enable the pretty things like normal maps and MV_Advanced that my box can't cope with.  (Said machine has a Core 2 Duo, 4 gigs of RAM, and a Radeon HD3Something.  33Something?  34Something?  Meh, whatever. :p) So after I figured out that I didn't have a .7z unpacker installed on the machine, and then again after I figured out that I'd have to install OpenAL on it, I finally fired up the game in all of its visual glory.  And...wow.  I was completely blown away.  It's one thing to see normal maps in screenshots, but to see them in action and subject to the game's lighting conditions is something else entirely.  There I was, running the game at 1440x900, with probably overkill amounts of anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering enabled, and I was getting eyefuls of gorgeous high-quality goodness at a near-constant 60 FPS.  Now that I've finally properly been able to see this latest release in all its glory, major kudos to you guys, and to the coders who make the whole thing possible.  I really need to get/upgrade a box of my own that's capable of playing the game this way on a daily basis, because it's too damn good-looking not to. :)

That's not very clear either AE, as Apple sells quite a few different computers.  Mac Pro?  Mini?  MacBook?  Air?  iMac?  I would bet that a Mac Pro from early last year can really throw down with FS2, assuming its configuration wasn't skimped on somehow.

Try the detail setting from FS2 itself. That will allow you to lower the model level of detail.

Also, it doesn't work that way. Most likely it's not the models doing it anyway but the high resolution textures that consume all your video memory.

If you are using MV_Complete, you could switch to using the more traditional individual MediaVP's (Core, Effects, Assets, Music) and leave MV_Advanced out of it. That's where the really... well, advanced stuff is.
Title: Re: RELEASE: 3.6.10 Media VPs
Post by: Galemp on July 16, 2009, 04:39:47 pm
Yes, don't forget that the FS2 Detail options still work perfectly. Try sliding the Models detail level down a few notches, that will use low-poly models more often.
Title: Re: RELEASE: 3.6.10 Media VPs
Post by: chief1983 on July 16, 2009, 05:51:36 pm
Unfortunately that doesn't change the memory use, just the rendering requirements.  But it's still kind of a crazy request.  If you're having a hard time with the models you're going to have a hard time with the rest of the mediavps because everything about them eats up more memory, has more detail, etc.  You either have a new enough rig to run them or you don't, that's kind of their purpose.

That's debatable.  Depends on how many polies you're actually shaving off with the normal map.  But if you're gonna have a  normal map, you can go as hog wild with it as you want so you can almost always make it look worthwhile.

I'd try it if I still had the assets vp (I deleted it to make room for some other game... then when I installed it I somehow ended up with several more gigs of space than before installation O_o). I know where I can get it though.

Also, it doesn't work that way. Most likely it's not the models doing it anyway but the high resolution textures that consume all your video memory.
Maybe...

If you are using MV_Complete, you could switch to using the more traditional individual MediaVP's (Core, Effects, Assets, Music) and leave MV_Advanced out of it. That's where the really... well, advanced stuff is.
I never touched MV_Complete. I decided not to get MV_Advanced... just because, and ATM I don't have Assets because it kinda works well enough for me without it... though I do miss shiny stuff...
Responses in bold.
It'd probably help if I did get a new computer, but the funds are not available to me (I have to save up for college and I need ALL the cash I can get.)   ...because a craptop from 05 or so probably doesn't cut it :P

If my memory doesn't fail me, MV_Core is the "absolute minimum" if one wishes to try that. But if you have epic performance issues with the 3.6.10 MediaVPs, it would probably be best to either play vanilla or go back to the 3.6.8 MediaVPs.
Title: Re: RELEASE: 3.6.10 Media VPs
Post by: Enzo03 on July 18, 2009, 10:17:43 pm
Well while they are not "epic", they are less than favorable for most situations.
Hmm. I remember playing 3.6.7 (build and mediavps) and I would have HORRIBLE lags at first, then it would slowly smooth out... I once tried all the 3.6.10 mediavps on this computer and to my astonishment it didn't have those horrible lags... but I am guessing that this is based on the coding.
Visually I have it set up as far as I really need it to go (just the effects vp).


NOW THEN... I like most of the HQ music in the music VP (thanks Dan, you're awesome!), but there's two "HQ" tracks I don't really care for - brief 01 and brief 03... well I could live with 03. But 01 doesn't suit my tastes as well as the original.
Enh, sorry to complain. I've been having trouble finding any good modding resources/tutorials. Might play around with it for now :)
Edit: and thus Enzo learned almost everything he needed to know how to use about VPMage within the period of 10-15 minutes...

I just completely gutted FS2 (uninstalled EVERYTHING) and reinstalled it in preparation for upgrading to 3.6.10 and its associated assets. Are the links on the first page of the thread reliable/up-to-date OR will I need to read through the whole thread to make sure everything is properly patched (through manual action) before the MediaVPs are up to par? Even then, there's a few bugs left, no (no engine glow on the Hygeia, etc.)?

I'm going to refrain from using Turey's installer this time around for two reasons: Currently, the site is out of date. This implies the software is old. The software in the installer apparently also has a few bugs which make it unreliable at this time. Next, Vista being Vista, the installer worked perfectly (for 3.6.9), but once the software was installed the majority of the files were hidden from access. If there's a problem and something needs to be switched out, I can't do it given that condition. It's also a good leaning experience to install the update via components, maybe...

In retrospect, the last paragraph was possibly unnecessary. Thus said, what is the condition of the links?

Post by: Mongoose on July 24, 2009, 01:40:01 am
The links are just fine.  It wouldn't be much of an official release thread if the correct files were buried on page 17. :p

Also, I suppose it's too late to say this, but there was really no need to completely reinstall FS2.  So long as the only VP files in your main FS2 directory are the retail ones, and there are no mods shoved in the main freespace2/data folder, you can essentially add and remove mod folders without consequence.

And "installing" new builds is basically placing the builds in \freespace2\ and using the Launcher to select the one you want to use. And if you want to tidy things up a bit, you can even remove older FSO builds that you won't use.

The Rahu's animated glows are close to unnoticable unless you put the ship to insane zoom levels, not to mention I think it was a wasted update, since something like the Lucifer could've been given animated glows. Also the new glass maps don't seem too gold-glass friendly, the difference between how much reflection is shown is rather significant, then there's the Herc Mk. I which doesn't really seem affected at all by the new glass map. Plus, the Myrmidon gets smoothing, but the Ursa still remains without normal maps.

Although the fact that the crosshairs are a pixel or two off really bugs me now. :p I know it's been like that forever, but I never really noticed it until there was a flight-path indicator showing otherwise...
How would one go about moving the HUD over just a tad?

For the record, I do not have an ATI card, I have an older nVidia card (GeForce TI-4400).

And I get the beam and shield bugs.

Okay, just dled and tried it out. I have an ATI Radeon 3650 HD.

So, first thing I notice in ship lab is that a problem originally limited to the gold glass before this release now affects everything. I don't know what happened to the glass maps, but everything is so mirrored that it's impossible to see any cockpit save the one in the Herc I. The cockpits are still there and can be seen if I turn on Fixed Render Pipeline, but it seems the shininess completely overrides the transparency.

The old atishaderfix.vp (or something) file that fixes flashing white polys is no longer needed, so that's good.

The beams use the old glows with the new beams, which looks okay, except for the LRed. That beam is too big for the glow and looks funky.

If I notice anything else, I'll add it here.

Damn, the LRed didn't look that wide on my screen, though it still exceeds the origin of the beam. Though that glow looks really faint for some odd reason.
Title: Re: 3.6.10 Media VPs Discussion Thread
Post by: Kolgena on August 12, 2009, 06:07:09 pm
It's shooting past me, so the perspective makes it massive. However, that doesn't change the fact that at the beam/glow intersect, things aren't meshing.

Post by: Commander Zane on August 12, 2009, 08:38:34 pm
Hmm, the Ulysses still has that bit of missing texture.
While in the Ship Lab the canopies look really good, though in a mission they seem significantly different.
The reflections are good, but the glass in-game seems dark.

Arrrgh, huge apologies guys, but by the looks of it when we eventually figured out what was wrong with the beams from the first release and made a patch, we completely forgot to actually apply that patch to the SVN data. Again since none of the team have the problem we never noticed it was missing. :(

The old 'tempoary' patch will still work to fix it:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?yqq5mjmtlzl

Also I'm currently looking into the other bits and bobs that went wrong or possibly wrong for this release. We'll probably need to patch the patch at this rate though. >:[

In the meantime, PLEASE post everything you spot that is wrong or might be wrong to the FSU mantis (http://www.hard-light.net/mantis/view_all_bug_page.php) so it will at least be a bit harder to forget stuff again!

Shivan shields don't look all "electricky" like they did in the last MediaVPs.

The electrical effect is in MV_Advanced - and that hasn't changed, so make sure you have that. Just tested to make sure it is still working in game, and it is. :)

2) The Velocity Indicator script. Tempoary fix (disables it): http://www.game-warden.com/starfox/Non_SF_related_stuff/MVP3610BETA/VelocityIndicatorDisabler.zip

Actually, that's not possible. "A Lion at the Door" has no Argo's in it. TSM-104 on the other hand, DOES, and yes, it is broken.

See, I'm really pissed. FRED should have caught these bugs, as I loaded _every_ mission into FRED after changing the ship  to remove the Prefix of Ship Class from the Name displayed in the HUD, suspifically to catch things like this.

It also failed to warn me about "break-warp" cannot be assigned to a wing in one of the CoOp missions.

I am fixing these as they occur. TSM-104 will have a mantis entry.

Hello lads first off I'd just like to tank you all for the work you have done on FSO, quite remarkable really. I remember reading about this project years ago and have just recently come across it mentioned in a youtube post. Anyway i am new around here and i would just like to say Well Done FS2 looks REMARKABLE! err before i start crying and asking how to fix Q's!

Well got the FS1+silent threat and FS2 from GOG and played through FS1 last night. Was proper kool, haven't played a space Sim in years, they kind of died for me after and few fail arse games i picked up post FS2.

Anywho i have the same problem as Rodo and after a few cracks at Mantis I'm at a lose. Seem to be stuck at email password verifycation. Erm i'd love it if someone could explain a few things please!

1:Is Mantis used as some sort of hotfix tool for debugging my current version of SPO?( i can see Mantis is a means for acquiring bug information btw)

2:I have seen talk of a version 3.6.11 and this version having been fixed of a few bugs in .10,is this downloadable?or a new something that will be released at some later point? (Just in case i haven't navigated the forums correctly doh!)

3:Is there anyway for me to fix this issue now?

Sorry if i am asking some silly Q's here but i have gotten this far only by Zacams helpful guide 
http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,65038.msg1282043.html#msg1282043

Mantis is a tool to report and track bugs, using it will not magically fix them.
3.6.11 builds are avilable via the nightly builds subforum on the SCP board; be aware that while they have fixed a few bugs in 3.6.10, they are still experimental and could contain other bugs.

As for that mission bug: Are you quite sure that this is from "Lion at the door" (4th mission of the main campaign, not counting the training missions)? I can't find a GTT Argo in any of those missions.

Yea anyway don't worry about that i won't be uploading anything untill i have a much finer grasp on wtf im doing. So went to the nightly sections theres a whole bunch of posts all way over my head.
Can you tell me what im suppose to do to get .11?

Revision 5518 is the download here the latest and greatest or am i missing the pot again?

And more over if it is am i suppose to download it into a specific folder? i.e. the usual mvp folder just like a build?

Title: Re: 3.6.10 Media VPs Discussion Thread
Post by: The E on August 14, 2009, 06:38:01 pm

Yes, 5518 is the latest build.
No, you should unpack it into your base FS2 directory, the same place where the 3.6.10 executables are in. You will then need to start the Launcher, click on "Browse" and select the 3.6.11 executable.

Hi all,

by the way great work, this is just awesome stuff :)

I seem to be haivng a similar problem with the same error. I have installed the lastest .11 (5520) but still get the same error. I applogize if the answer is somewhere and I have missed it.  Also I do have .11 selected in the lancher.

Using 3.6.11 will NOT fix this problem. It's a problem in the mission file, not the executable.

Stick this mission file into your mediavps\data\missions directory (create it if it doesn't exist).

I seem to have a problem with the 3.9.10 media vp's. After I downloaded the new vp's and executables, some of the mods like Tides of darkness, no longer work. I just get the window with the send or don't send error report buttons. Any suggestions?

Really? I have no sunlight in the first three missions and in mission 4 of the retail campaign I'm getting these errors.

That's because the fixed missions haven't been uploaded yet.

Okay, can you run a debug build (Select the fs2_open_3_6_10d.exe in the launcher), run it, and then post the fs2_open.log from the data folder in your FreeSpace 2 directory here? Or better yet, on the support board (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/board,151.0.html)?

Using 3.6.11 will NOT fix this problem. It's a problem in the mission file, not the executable.

Stick this mission file into your mediavps\data\missions directory (create it if it doesn't exist).

I'm okay with the fact it shows the reflection of explosions and nebulae but the fact that it's extremely dark and barely shows anything inside bothers me too.

Huh, a cyan star? You have star lighting on your ship too.
Found out up until TSM-104 I don't have ambient lighting.
Title: Re: 3.6.10 Media VPs Discussion Thread
Post by: Zacam on August 22, 2009, 05:14:29 pm
First up, there is no 3.6.10 Zeta.

If you mean 3.6.8 Zeta, that's fine.

Between then and now, Stellar Enhancements package was put in. They were in the preceding 3.6.10's and in these 3.6.10's. Nothing in terms of that changed.

If there are differences in mission regarding the lighting between the LAST 3.6.10 and THIS 3.6.10, then we need to be aware of this, even though nothing has changed that should have caused any differences.

In the "Surrender, Belisarius" mission, there is still a sun. Look at the planet. Rotate the ship in the direction the planets highlighting is showing you that the sun should be in. You can't miss it. And nothing changed regarding the ambient light level in the mission. And since 3.6.8, all iterations of 3.6.10 have included Lightspeeds nebula. But again, the stellar enhacements package may have adjusted some of the background per mission that will have them looking different than in 3.6.8 Zeta or Retail.

Further, the 3.6.8 sun being green is _bad_. Retail does not have a green sun, it has a Gold sun.

(http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/7918/nolight.png)

This was taken with my ship looking directly at the star, with the view showing the front of the ship to show that, despite it's facing a star, there's no light on it.
It's like this on mission two, mission three, all the way until you pass TSM-104, with the exception of the training missions themselves, which have lighting.
Title: Re: 3.6.10 Media VPs Discussion Thread
Post by: Zacam on August 22, 2009, 06:48:03 pm
I found the problem. And it's not actually a problem per-se, but now I know what is going on.

The mission got changed from 3.6.8Z to 3.6.10 from using SunGreen to SunDeneb. (Retail value is SunGold)

However, SunDeneb in the mv_effects-str.tbm has a MUCH lower Intensity value than either SunGreen or SunGold.

Hence, while the sun is there, the Solar lighting on the models is greatly reduced. So, it is doing exactly as it should be doing, but I gather that the over all effect is less endearing.

So. The proper phrasing of the problem is not "There is no sun" but, "There is no solar lighting that I can see".

If someone can check this, I don't want to upload to mantis without knowing for sure it's a mvp issue.

Actually, that's not possible. "A Lion at the Door" has no Argo's in it. TSM-104 on the other hand, DOES, and yes, it is broken.

See, I'm really pissed. FRED should have caught these bugs, as I loaded _every_ mission into FRED after changing the ship  to remove the Prefix of Ship Class from the Name displayed in the HUD, suspifically to catch things like this.

It also failed to warn me about "break-warp" cannot be assigned to a wing in one of the CoOp missions.

I am fixing these as they occur. TSM-104 will have a mantis entry.

Generally, we don't tend to make pre-release  announcements. Since any number of things can go wrong and etc.

BUT. Due to the nature of the frustrations this reRelease has caused (and was supposed to fix), I'm going to go out on a limb here and state the following:

A patch is currently in the Testing phase as a VP.

And pending that it is found to be complete, a release Announcement will be made and the reRelease post updated accordingly.

Indeed. Both with and without the patch (See post 2 of the Release Topic) do not show red trails on any that are not supposed to have red trails.

And as Qent has already mentioned, Harpoon and Trebuchet trails are red. No idea, ask :v:

As for the Shivan missiles, all of those ARE red trails.

"3.6.10 Final V"? What was that? There were Release Candidates 1-3, one build based off of RC3 that had some multiplayer fixes that came out a few days before the final build was released, and the Final build itself. You said you were using 3.6.11r, was that just a typo?

Yes I was using a 3.6.11r build back when I played it the first time, now I'm using 3.6.10 final.

Checked with Antripodes2, checked with r5541, checked with 3.6.10 final again.

Deleted the patch, reinstaled, I keep getting the same.

I checked the mission itself, the one that comes with the patch and it seems to be ok... still the messages from my wingman do not play, no VA, no lines, just command replaying to a non-existent wingman.

I'm clueless here.. don't know if it's a build or a mvp issue please someone else unpack the mission and test?

It's really, really strange. The retail mission, with mediavps data, works just fine. So I loaded the retail mission in FRED, imported the backgrounds from the mediavps mission, and here we are. Another fixed bug. Although I have no bloody clue as to what caused the error.
So, download the attached mission, put it in mediavps\data\missions, and test if it works for you. If it doesn't, create a new pilot, try again. If that doesn't work, scream at me.

Could be something regarding the patch (not the hole patch just the mission) not overriding the original released file?
As far as I see the mission is fine, so there's no problem there, I'm not so sure about how the game knows which vp to load each time but might be the cause.
Title: Re: 3.6.10 Media VPs Discussion Thread
Post by: The E on August 28, 2009, 06:16:39 am
The load order should be correct (if you aren't sure, run a debug build and post the log), provided you haven't renamed it. If it loads before the other mediavps vps, it should override all the others.
HOWEVER, it seems the version in the patch suffers from the same issue. Can you test if the mission I uploaded works?

I was playing "A Flaming Sword," where the Knossos is destroyed by meson bombs, and the two wings of Maras you're supposed to lure back to the Renenant have been changed to Astaroths. It wouldn't really matter, except that the dialogue still refers to them as Maras. Also, around 8:30 when Lambda 2 and 3 are delivering their bombs, Pisces wing shows up asleep at the wheel, flying slowly in straight lines, only evading if I attack them, and never attacking anything.

Well, what best explains those inconsistencies is probably a last minute balancing change after the lines were recorded, rather than anything else.

There's also that Cain cruiser that was called a Lilith in the briefing. (I think it was the SC Asura or something).

I think people are missing the main point of my earlier post: The AI goes dead when Pisces shows up. Do I need to run some sort of debug thingy to show details of what's going on under the hood?

Also, perhaps this has been touched upon already, but I hate the new smokey glass on terran fighters more every time I see it. I don't mind that it's dark, I mind that it obscures 90% of the interior detail. Is there a poll on changing it back/lessening the opacity somewhere?

I was playing "A Flaming Sword," where the Knossos is destroyed by meson bombs, and the two wings of Maras you're supposed to lure back to the Renenant have been changed to Astaroths. It wouldn't really matter, except that the dialogue still refers to them as Maras. Also, around 8:30 when Lambda 2 and 3 are delivering their bombs, Pisces wing shows up asleep at the wheel, flying slowly in straight lines, only evading if I attack them, and never attacking anything.

The Maras issue has already been addressed as a Retail issue, but I'm putting to question: Should we fix it so that they are Maras instead of Asteroths and assign the Asteroths to a Mara Wing? Would anybody be willing to test if it unduly breaks the mission flow?

Pisces is indeed asleep at the wheel, because :v: apparently did not give them _any_ AI Goals, anywhere. I _could_ add in "$AI Goals: ( goals ( ai-chase-any 50 ) )" so that they match Libra and Capricorn wings, but that will also have to extensively tested to make sure it doesn't bodge things up.

What did they do in retail?  Because if they did something back then, it means that somewhere along the line the default behavior was changed.  If so, it should be fixed.

And what prompted that snarky response? :wtf:  No, the answer is not obvious, because FSO and retail FS2 have different codebases.

SCP programmers (myself included) have introduced bugs into the AI code in the process of fixing other bugs.  We think most of them have been fixed, but it's possible that a few remain.  It's important for us to nail down the specific differences between AI behavior in FSO and retail, including in the edge cases.  This is one of those edge cases.
Title: Re: 3.6.10 Media VPs Discussion Thread
Post by: Zacam on September 11, 2009, 05:48:08 pm
In both Retail exe and FSO, the Retail mission has Pisces wing sitting on their thumbs.

And nobody deserved the snarky response. But I would expect that, same as I do, when some one has a question regarding combinations of events and has the ability to determine them by their own means, shouldn't it be more usefuly at large that they do so? You and anybody else has the same level of ability to run the retail data on both a retail exe and the FSO exe, so innstead of pushing the question on the findings, it could have been collaborated on by your own findings.

So, now the question is, do we leave it as is, or give Pisces wing AI Goals? Personally, I dislike them just sitting on their thumbs, but I dislike even more hearing people scream that I broke a mission because they're now doing something.

I've attached a test mission where Pisces has the "$AI Goals: ( goals ( ai-chase-any 50 ) )" added for people to test.

Ever heard of delegation?  If you already know the answer, or if even if you just know half of the answer, it's more efficient for you to put in the small amount of time required to round out your understanding of the problem than it would be for me to research the problem from scratch.

Your point would be valid if you had no idea how to characterize the problem, and thus were starting from scratch -- then we'd be at equal footing.  But this is not one of those cases.

Well, if you're still debating on whether you should fix Pisces or leave them as-is, I will tell you that in all the times I have played through FreeSpace, I have never seen the AI go dead the way it does now in Flaming Sword. It completely and entirely jars the player out of the immersion experience. I'm sure everyone would be grateful if it got fixed, even if it means retesting it several times over to ensure that Pisces don't suddenly become unusually competent and mess up mission balance. No one will blame the coders if it doesn't work right the first time. AI is a crapshoot.

I have a problem with the mission "A Lion at the Door"

I was playing through the campaign again, but the majority of the messages in this mission do not send. (All from Command send, but almost none from your Wingman) However, they worked in all the previous missions.

Only when using the re-released 3.6.10 mediaVPs, plus the patch.

Weird..

There is a bug in the patch version where that happens, though there is _no_ explaination as to why.

This will be resolved, but in the meantime, don't worry. While it'll sound strange hearing Command responding to people you are not hearing, the mission progresses just fine.

Ever since the re-release of the 3.6.10 mediaVPs I get errors on the last two missions (both played fine in the original 3.6.10 release).

On sm3-fs09.fs2 (battle of the titans II or something like that) - the mission were you have to escort the Bastion - I get this error followed by several more.

Code: [Select]
Error: SM3-09.fs2(line 989:
Error: Required token = [#Wings] or [$Name:], found [+Respawn priority: 0] .

File: PARSELO.CPP
Line: 670


Call stack:
------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------

I also ran the debug-build and attached the fs2_open.log.

If I override the mission with the one form the root_fs2.vp I can play it (albeit it doesn't look so good) and afterwards I get some errors for the last mission too.
Code: [Select]
Error: Invalid point.

In sexpression: ( <

      "Jump Node right:1"
      "Duamutef"

   300
)
(Error appears to be: Duamutef)
File: MissionParse.cpp
Line: 6096


Call stack:
------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------
Again I attached the log from the debug build, but renamed it into fs2_open2.log so it has another name than the first log.

Does anyone have an idea what's going on and how I can fix it (other than using the retail mission files)?

Title: Re: 3.6.10 Media VPs Discussion Thread
Post by: Zacam on October 07, 2009, 03:30:54 pm
It for the fact that due to an over-sight, when we decided to include Woolies cubemap, it wasn't checked to see if it had mip-maps.

I, at the time, was not aware that the engine required the cubemap to have mip-maps and if it did not, that the engine would then mip-map it itself (even if the -mipmap option was not selected in the launcher). Given that I have a DX10 capable card, this was not a problem. For systems that cannot, however, manage to dynamically mip map a cube map, you get an ASSERT error on !resize.

This cubemap (http://www.mediafire.com/?dyejkjlqmm3) (also linked in the third post of the reRelease topic) has the necessary mip-maps and should resolve this issue for anyone having that error (noted by crashing non-debug builds when attempting to view the techroom or F3.)

I'm not sure where to report this, but I've noticed a few things in the single player... first, the Bastion destruction cutscene did not play (now that I think about it, neither did one of the Bosch cutscenes, the one where he's making a long letter), second, I've noticed quite a bit of missing pilot text (supply ships, some Vasudans, sometimes Command will respond to someone who didn't say anything-(2nd Knossos ring) ), and third, after Capella goes supernova, whether you jump out in time or not, neither cutscene plays, and neither is available in the Tech Room (it kicks you back to the "main menu"), and when you go back to the briefing, it starts you out with the "Incoming Transmission" screen, and you end up redoing that final mission.

I'd just like to say I LOVE the improved visuals, they make this game look SO much newer looking and more appealing.  Wonderful work here!

In your main FreeSpace2 folder (where the launcher, the game EXEs and all mod folders are located), there should be a file called "FS2OGGCutscenepack.vp" . It contains all the FS2 cutscenes. I don't remember where you can download it though...

I'm having a small problem that is apparently caused by the 3.6.10 MVPs (Since I can play FS2 without using them)

Whenever I start a mod that uses the MVPs or FS2 using the MVPs, when I start a mission I either automatically CTD or CTD after just a few seconds. Likewise, when in the techroom and I change to another ship, I crash, or when changing loadouts/weapons and I change to a different ship type or another menu - boom, crash.

I have an ATI X1950 Pro with the latest vista drivers, and Windows 7 Ultimate.

Furthermore, there are no Catalyst drivers that old available for Vista/Win7, so your only option is to use -no_glsl command line option, or buy a new GPU. :blah:

What is the problem? And more importantly: does the problem occur with MYMOD or without MYMOD?
Title: Re: 3.6.10 Media VPs Discussion Thread
Post by: MastaRyan on February 20, 2010, 10:58:04 am
The Problem is that ships are missing textures. (Like, the Shivan ships now look completely gray.) And, yes, It occurs without MYMOD.

Post by: The E on February 20, 2010, 10:59:54 am
For the last ****ing time, Ryan, if you have a problem with the MEDIAVPS, report it using ONLY the mediavps. With your mod in the mix, there is no telling what is going wrong.

Also, screenshots might help.

Now, one thing you should do in order to track this down us to load the game using debug, press F3 in the mainhall, and load one of the ships that exhibit this problem. Then quit, and post the log.

Code: [Select]
Unable to find extension "GL_ARB_texture_non_power_of_two".
This might be the problem. Unfortunately, you will have to buy a new GPU to fix this, as that ancient piece of technology you have now does not support it.

Removing MV_Advanced.vp might help. Or not. But it's worth a try with that graphics card.

Nope. I guess I need a new graphics card. I always knew that some day I'd need a new GPU, but I'd hoped it would be a LooooooooooooooooooonG time before I needed one. What do you recommend i should get?

Instead of looking for an update of an AGP graphics card, I would suggest that you consider building an entirely new computer.

Try the latest drivers first, I don't know why the FX 5700 wouldn't be able to run the MediaVPs.  I could run them on a Ti4200.

OpenGL Extensions Viewer (http://www.realtech-vr.com/glview/) to check and see how much of OpenGL your card currently supports.

Get the latest drivers from nvidia.com.

Can't i just get a new OS?

No. If you want to upgrade your GPU, and your GPU only, you will have to find one that is compatible to your motherboard.

Your operating system has little to no impact on your GPU; It's the chip itself and the driver that is important.

Please, if you are unsure about the technical terms used, please ask someone who understands them.

Yes.

Though depending on your current hardware setup, getting a newer Windows would probably make things worse. If Linuxes have proper support for your graphics card, you could try some light distro.

But still, getting a new OS because of a poor graphics card is like getting a new steering wheel for a car with an old, malfunctioning engine: sure, you can do that, but... you know.

These two right here are why playing with MV_Advanced is highly not recommended:
Code: [Select]
 Unable to find extension "GL_ARB_texture_non_power_of_two".
  Unable to find extension "GL_EXT_framebuffer_object".

These right here are why you need to run with -no_glsl. Don't try to use -normal or -post_process, it won't work.
Code: [Select]
 Unable to find extension "GL_ARB_shading_language_100".
  Unable to find extension "GL_ARB_shader_objects".
  Unable to find extension "GL_ARB_vertex_shader".
  Unable to find extension "GL_ARB_fragment_shader".
  Unable to find extension "GL_ATI_shader_texture_lod".

And a new OS won't solve for **** or correct the current issues with the current hardware. The current OS is just fine, it is the video card that should be upgraded if you want all the options plus the ability to use MV_Advanced.

Honestly, if the extensions for GLSL aren't there, it should disable it automatically, not crash or have problems.  That option is only supposed to be for troubleshooting, but, it may be needed in this case.  We need to see if we can tweak the auto-disable of GLSL though.

GLSL is turned off, hence why you don't see the processing of shaders in the log.

I doubt that it is what is causing the crash, and I'm only suggesting turning it of through -no_glsl to remove the step from the engine that attempts to process shader loading setup in the first place from happening.

Additionally, setting -novbo (In the launchers Troubleshooting section) may be necessary. But only after removing MV_Advanced.

Actually, that was the problem. I removed -normal and it works. I'm not even going to try running it with mediavp advanced.

To which my answer was perfectly valid. (Yes they do include the fixed shaders, and yes, you should delete the ma-sdrvfix.vp)

Was that so hard to get?

Can you honestly not read?

Note: In the following explanation, parts in square brackets ( "[" and "]" ) denote things that you should be able to infer from the text, also known as the "subtext".

The original question was a two-parter. Part 1: "Do the mediavps include ma-sdrvfix.vp?"

To which the answer is, YES [, they include the fixed shaders].

Part 2: "Should I delete it? ["it" being understood as a reference to ma-sdrvfix.vp, refer to part 1 of the question for details]"

To which the answer is also YES [, you should delete it].

Now, WHY you should delete shaders that are obsolete, may conflict with newer ones, AND ARE ****ING OBSOLETE, I leave to your imagination.

Look at that single post. Look at it from the view of someone who just popped in to see what was new.
 
 
 
Does the vp include blah blah blah. Should I delete it.
Not knowing what that VP was, I thought i'd ask something in shorthand.
Why would I wan't to delete it I asked in not so many words.
Then I had to repeat it.
Then I was patronised.
 
Is It obvious?

I just noticed that the mediavps version of FS2_Btl_E02 is not the same as the original... one of the instruments sounds noticeably different. I don't like it.

So yeah, uh... wtf.

I really can't describe it. And regardless of tabling, it was messing up my playlist in Winamp, so I had to go replace it with the original version... the ogg versions don't really sound any better... unless my audio settings are just not good enough or something.
