I want to have this by Xmas, which means cleaningup some bugs and doing a build.

Thoughts?

I know we need a launcher Anything else?

Look thru the bugzilla bugs (see other thread) and if the community could as well, and enter any that MUST be fixed by next release, that would be good.

If we don;t make Xmas, I'd like to shoot for Jan 1, but i want to try for Xmas Sorta a present to the community

what we really need is to fix the beam problems.

1. beams have no mass
2. beams sometimes render behind things that they're actually in front of
3. beams don't effect ships with green IFF status

Now if only I had FS2.

erm dunno if it has ben adressed/fixed but adding to beams : beams sometimes fire thru the ship that is fireing it
(or that is a model problem and ill just crawl back into my hole)

[Carl]

yes, that's basically what the rendering problem i had was.

When you fire a beam at some ships, the beam goes through them without dealing any damage.

Wait.. how can a beam have no mass? Ever see a BFGreen hit a cain?

Anyways, the SEXP list and all the stuff you guys have had here basically.. like the allready Beam Free all and such. I'll post anything relevant when I think of it.

they usually have mass, but not when you install fs2 open 3.3

[Knight Templar]

oh..  

[Inquisitor]

Carl, is that in bugzilla?

That sounds like a legit bug, I know DTP JUST committed a bandaid fix to some of the beam problems.

We'll track that one down, make sure the bugzilla entry has as much detail as you can muster on it.

[Carl]

no idea how to get or use bugzilla.

[Inquisitor]

it's linked off the site

but here it is:
http://fs2source.warpcore.org/bugzilla/index.cgi

works like the forum

[Solatar]

So, how far are we in getting out fs2_open3.4?

[Goober5000]

All Inquisitor has to do is build a fresh copy and post it.  Assuming we caught all the bugs...

[Solatar]

Excellent....*rubs hands together*:devil:

[Goober5000]

Before we get the new build - make sure that Bobboau's decal stuff is made optional with the command-line flag (not sure if this has been done yet).  I don't want my framerate cut in half for every capship in the mission...

[Goober5000]

Another question: Should I put in a hack that sets the ship trails mission flag for missions set in nebulas?  This would fix backward compatibility while still making use of the mission flag.

[Sesquipedalian]

Yes.

[Goober5000]

Done.

Also, don't forget the shield and beams bug that I posted about earlier! :wink:
