-Update 4:57pm

I narrowed it down and the cout's in the netcode were causing this for some reason

[redmenace]

well if your code is exactly the same of that of CVS it should build with out a problem. at least that is my take.

[redmenace]

here is the latest build of both fred2 and the regular fs2_open
clicky clicky

[redmenace]

latest build with added Phreaky goodness

[redmenace]

I take it is not supposed to look like this;

it crashed very shortly after that shot was taken. Only 10 seconds into the mission. The same in fred. Appears that only the very tips of ships render.

[Bobboau]

do things seem to be getting rendered out of place?
people just don't trust me ...

try getting it again and compileing it, it'll probly work better (remember to always 'rebuild all' after you update you're CVS)

[TopAce]

My problem with the new build is that the ship geometry is not displayed. Otherwise everything is OK, the sun is shining and I can play FreeSpace

What the hell is CVS?

[redmenace]

I am having problems with Speech again. I added FS2_SPEECH to the preprocessor definitions of both the code settings and the fs2_open definitions. I started getting errors about sapi.h missing. i then manually added it into the project and got a list of messages about things not pointing or somethin like that. YES I HAVE THE SDK INSTALLED. I am also re downloading CVS and then rebuilding it all.

[redmenace]

ok still same problems from above bobboau. ships turrets are the only thing rendering.

Make sure you add the include and lib dirs for the SDK in Tools:Options:Dirs tab

[redmenace]

ok looks like the previous bugs with the turrets only rendering have been fixes.

[Bobboau]

are you useing the HTL comand line (this was recently found and fixed for the non HTL mode, it should have been comitted by now, but maybe it wasn't)

[edit] never mind

[redmenace]

Ok I am uploading new build to swooh. this has voice in it. Also this build crashes on me with in 5 seconds of a mission still. I am not using the HTL command line. I am using it in the preprocessor definitions. I am using a tnt 2 ultra card.
800 mhz duron with 100mhz FSB, 384 mb ram(i think)
here is the new build would someone test it for me.
I needed it tested on both a more recent geforce card and a say another tnt 2 card

[Sticks]

I don't think you understand.

The HTL preprocessor directive doesn't do anything anymore. All the HTL code is compiled regardless, and activated using the -htl command line.

There is really no way for us to debug an unsupported build. Perhaps you should run it in debug mode and see for yourself where the problems lie.

[RANT]
Please note that CVS builds are NOT supported by the SCP, and it is somewhat resource sapping to have to debug not only our builds, but be expected to field questions for unsupported bleeding edge code as well. Even builds released by the developers themselves are unsupported, however, they are able to provide their own support.

As a general rule of thumb, you should have a good understanding of C++, CVS, and at least some part of the FS code if you want to release your own builds. You should also be able to support your own build.

I realize this is not completely possible, as some folks know portions of the code better than others. But please, take the time to learn at least some portion of the code before releasing a build, and help us out by squashing bugs and pointing out coding errors.
[/RANT]

If you use bleeding edge code, expect bugs.

[Taristin]

Well put.

[Inquisitor]

well, having this sticky implied some acknowledgement that this was quasi official, so, that's kinda the fault of whoever stickied it, not redmenaces

[redmenace]

First, it Sounds like something has been said about me in the internal forum.

Secondly, it seems to me that there was a demand because people wanted a up to date build. secondly I said before this is very much a work in progress. This implies it is not officially supported.  I ALSO SAID TO NOT HAVE THIS THREAD STICKIED for this and other reasons[inquisitor had posted his message previously].

Thirdly, I was a Computer Science and Engineering major till I gave up of Computer Science in pursuit of a Buisiness Administration Degree. I have a limited understanding of C++. I took CS1, CS2, data structures, and assembly.

Forth, If people would write a more extensive Getting started faq on the site we your freakin "resources" wouldn't be tapt. SUCH AS I HAVE PREVIOUSLY SUGESTED.

Fifth, this is a PUBLIC FORUM. THIS IS SCP RELATED. I CAN POST THIS IF I DAMN WELL PLEASE.

Sixth, your right I didn't understand the H T&L thread. I will take out the preprocessor definitions. for HT&L but the DSP/DSW are still configured with the HTL command prompt. Hopefully this will solve my problem, thanks.

Seventh, Don't make it so anonymous access to CVS is prohibited. That is only one more step to destroying the openess of the forums.

[Inquisitor]

who on earth suggested we were getting rid of anonymous CVS?

And nobody has said anything about you that I can see, in a private forum or anywhere else.

As for "getting started" well, now that you have done it, write one

[Sticks]

First, it Sounds like something has been said about me in the internal forum.

The support of outside builds was discussed in a very limited fashion. However, I would hope that people stop purporting that the internal forum is a concession stand of conspiracy against members of the community. It is not.

Thirdly, I was a Computer Science and Engineering major till I gave up of Computer Science in pursuit of a Buisiness Administration Degree. I have a limited understanding of C++. I took CS1, CS2, data structures, and assembly.

My intent was not to imply that you didn't know programming. My intent was to state what I felt are the requirements of those who post builds. It would not be good if this thread spawned other builds from those who know nothing at all, and are just trying to make a name for themselves on the forum.

Forth, If people would write a more extensive Getting started faq on the site we your freakin "resources" wouldn't be tapt. SUCH AS I HAVE PREVIOUSLY SUGESTED.

You are correct. I will write an updated getting started FAQ as soon as possible. Our resources are very limited, as all of us are volunteers with limited time and juggle this among many other priorities. I like to keep that in the foreground, as people tend to forget.

Fifth, this is a PUBLIC FORUM. THIS IS SCP RELATED. I CAN POST THIS IF I DAMN WELL PLEASE.

Again, this is correct. Feel free to continue your posts. Yelling is unneccesary, however. I'm not against your work.

Sixth, your right I didn't understand the H T&L thread. I will take out the preprocessor definitions. for HT&L but the DSP/DSW are still configured with the HTL command prompt. Hopefully this will solve my problem, thanks.

No problem, I am glad to help.

Seventh, Don't make it so anonymous access to CVS is prohibited. That is only one more step to destroying the openess of the forums.

This action has not been suggested, and will most definately NOT be taken.

Again, I just hope to stop a possible can of worms that can arise from this situation. Please accept my apologies if I sounded overly agressive and/or abusive.

is it just me or is RM getting a bit... paranoied...
