Title: Possible issue[random ghost mode]
Post by: Kobrar44 on July 27, 2012, 05:49:32 am

I was wondering if I'm the only one who can fly through other ships from time to time. I can't give too many detail. I know it happened in go_even_faster AND in deferred lighting[shading?] build, so it'd be somehow connected to some recent change in bsp code or something because I can't recall this happening in old builds. Can't say for sure, though. Only thing I'm certain about is this:

happenig from time to time, possibly randomly, on said builds.
EDIT: I could only fly throught ships, not shoot.
EDIT:EDIT: Doesn't seem to happen on retail assets or on 7737 build. 7761 is affected. Log from RC6

Can anyone confirm that or I ****ed up something on my end?[doesn't sound likely to ****up that much]

1) Debug log

2) Reproduce it with retail data.

3) Try on several builds to narrow down the issue.

Updated with data I gathered.

If you can't reproduce with retail assets, it most likely comes from some glitchy pof. If you could isolate the faulty pof it would probably help.

The problem is, this model usually works fine. While I don't think a debug log will really show anything (but it might, so post one), finding precisely on which build it started should help.

It happens with various models from various mods[seem to be always the same models]. This would more likely mean glitchy PCS. And it happens only on newer build than 7737.

Now we're getting somewhere. Could you name a few of those models?

AWW I know it happened with custom Orion from Shadow Genesis, if you have access. I also recall custom Hecate from said mod and few ships from ASW, because Finale has become my test mission on this one. Mochlos, Heraklion[not sure], Dallie.. There is only one way to find more.

Hmm, the Mochlos was last saved with PCS2 version somewhere-in-2010, and the low-poly ships are even older. Haven't there been a couple of PCS2 collision fixes since then?

Either way, Kobrar, thanks for reporting :)

the thing is, I don't know if this is related to the models or code. Weapon collisions work fine. It'd need some coder attention, I think.

There have been some collision bugs around go_even_faster found during Diaspora testing, which were subsequently fixed in the testing code patches.

Are you using the latest go_even_faster?

UMM. Seems I wasn't. I was sure I used recent build..
AND WELL
Looks like I reported a bug 5 hours after it was fixed. My bad :lol:
