Wow you sure know how to get things done, thanks for the hard work. I can't wait to try it but i'm probably too dumb to get it it working.

Bobboau · **Reply #21 on:** February 16, 2003, 03:06:45 am

I tryed makeing a relese build and it's crashing when ever I try and start up a campain, it does not do this in the debug build, and I have not been able get even the slimmest clue as to why and i have been fideling with it for bout three hours now, will someone else be able to see if this was something introduced by me just now or if it was there before my commit at about 11:30
I'm going to clean and rebuild but I highly doubt it is going to help any

I tried it with the glow-map exe on the 'Resources' page and it happens there too.

Bobboau · **Reply #23 on:** February 17, 2003, 12:53:05 am

has anyone looked into this?

Bob, the kills thing still doesn't work, but everything else is fine........apart from the garbage spewed in the corner of the screen!

ok here is are the table, for you less FS2 savy people(like me), to use inorder to get bobboau's new beam code. Just get the file and d/l it and place the contents into the the root of your freespace like C:\games\freespace 2\ for most people.
here is the URL:
http://www.geocities.com/red_menace7/testtable.zip
and here is the exe build:
http://freespace.volitionwatch.com/blackwater/new_debug.zip

credits to the TBP project for the TGAs and PCX, and to the SCP, and bobboau in particular.

whoops.....you have to right click the link and hit save target as. Also the GTF Ulysses is the only thing that can use the Beam.

Doesn't matter to me, when I test weapons I just use the debug codes anyway.

Umm well I will later today after school and just upload a new zip with all the information in it. But ya know I was just feelin' kinda lazy last night and didn't want to insert "nuetron beam" into all the fighter entries, although I could just use microsoft word or notepad to just add it into the lines with pbank.

redmenace · **Reply #30 on:** February 20, 2003, 08:51:06 am

snarl.....ok I have finished inserting the "Neutron Gun" into the terran ship but that is enough for testing purposes. but anyway instructions same as before. I haven't tested it yet. so anyway. happy hunting

Bob: I haven't seen a committ, did we get some bugfixes?

Kinda waiting on 3.5

Bobboau · **Reply #32 on:** February 20, 2003, 06:48:43 pm

it should have gotten commited, fire a fighter beam from you're ship and if it makes the correct sounds then it got commited,

also could you check on that crash bug

or better yet look for this

* Revision 2.11 2003/02/16 05:14:29 bobboau
* added glow map nebula bug fix for d3d, someone should add a fix for glide too
* more importantly I (think I) have fixed all major bugs with fighter beams, and added a bit of new functionality

Killfrenzy · **Reply #33 on:** February 21, 2003, 11:15:30 am

Bob, whenever I fire a fighter beam it plays the sound and WON'T STOP PLAYING IT!! Even when I've stopped firing.......

I switched off all weapon sounds for it, and it starting playing the 'lock on' beeper ad inifinitum......

Bobboau · **Reply #34 on:** February 21, 2003, 11:18:11 am

were you useing this exe

Killfrenzy · **Reply #35 on:** February 21, 2003, 11:27:09 am

If that's the one you posted at the beginning of the thread, then I think so.

Killfrenzy · **Reply #36 on:** February 22, 2003, 01:24:33 pm

BUMP:ha:

Tried again last night with your debug build, Bob, and the problem still occurs. It's fine until you shoot, at which point it keeps repeating the sound.

Bobboau · **Reply #37 on:** February 22, 2003, 05:59:29 pm

crap, it IS still doing it, ARRGGG

Killfrenzy · **Reply #38 on:** February 23, 2003, 02:21:15 pm

Any ideas on the cause?

BTW: Any chance of making those weapons usable by capships? Tried it once and they don't like shooting with them. But I don't want to use AAAs if I can help it.......

Bobboau · **Reply #39 on:** February 23, 2003, 03:17:48 pm

well how would they use them, the only diference between fighter beams and other beams is that fighter beams don't have a defanant target, they last for one frame, and they have no warm up/down, I guess the turrets could just swing them around wildly.

the stop fire primary function isn't getting called corectly for the player ship, or it isn't handeling the sound stop corectly
