Is it okay if I post any errors from testing the new release here? I'll start with stuff from my patch which worked fine under TBP 3.4b with FSO 3.7.0!
Global changes:
I added "repair" to several "rearm" messages in strings.tbl, because the command is used for both. I recommend to include that in 3.5! It's attached.
Global issues:
It seems as if all sun, planet, nebula and other background items have been renamed which leaves an empty sky. I can fix this in my patch, but this
will probably happen in all old TBP missions, so was this really necessary? All campaigns must be changed more or less at least for this big change!
P.S.: It also seemed that the planet Narn is missing, like there still is a SB_Narn_01, but not Stars_Planet_Narn01-03 which were available in 3.4b.
Global warnings:
Sound 'Ship_Jump_3rd.wav' has more than one channel but is used as a 3D sound! 3D sounds may only have one channel. Can you fix this?
Local warnings:
Two missing spaceship classes ("Escort Aurora" and "Sheridan's Aurora") which I fixed in the mission files as this is probably a missions problem.
A Distant Star/In the Beginning/Battle of the Line:
I get a mission load up warning about 2 missing weapon classes and continue, but all weapons in the Weaponry Pool are in the TBP 3.5 table too.
Fast debug gives this "Warning: Could not find a usable muzzle glow bitmap (vorlon_glow) for weapon 'VE Lightning Cannon'!" Can you fix this?
A view from a gallery:
Warning: Could not find a usable bitmap (Drakh_neutron) for weapon 'DH Scatter'!
Warning: Could not find a usable glow bitmap (trailwep_glow) for weapon 'DH Scatter'!
