Nice

got some bugs for you though

First when a beam is fired, there is a small beam in the upper left corner as well.




The second bug is sometimes missile trails gets a duplicate (not sure if it's always a duplicate could possibly be just one) that at first view seems to point in a (random?) direction infinitly long.



This might have something to do with the following which occured once in a while when playing a nebula mission



The performance seems to be better, not sure what I'm suppose to compare with though. But it feels nice

Maybe I'm going blind, dude, but I can't see any beam in the upper left corner.

[Flipside]

Maybe he means that little white light in the very top left that looks a bit like a sun almost off the screen?

Bleh...made it a bit more clear:



The green quarter of a beam in the upper left corner is drawn when a beam is fired (as seen on the picture). It dissapears as the beam stopps.

[Setekh]

Oh, beamglow. Gotcha. Yeah, that's wierd.

[Flipside]

Naaaa... that's your green in-cockpit 'some buggers firing a beam weapon' light, it's a new feature

[Fineus]

Say, that's not a bad idea

Nice alteration by the way Bob - well done!

[Lightspeed]

another thing. Why does it turn V-Sync off?

Yeah...I noticed that too. It was quite annoying to have it on as it was before.

I also got some funny sound effects one time I tested. Like the speech got some EAX filter that was uhm...unusual.

[Ypoknons]

The beamglow seems to flicker in size a lot too - sometimes it covers the whole screen (INF situations).

[RandomTiger]

V-Sync off is my fault I think.

play,
if you note trails not showing up when they should be that would most likely be due to that texture sorting thing not working, tell me if that happens

also tell me if anyone cann sence any boost in rendering rates, most people will probly get only marginal increses of 10-5 fps

you should note that this is the most up to date EXE avalable and many of the common TH&L bugs are sorted out, the only big one still left is the subspace-node-not-rendering bug, there are a few nebula bugs to be sorted as well

Is this 3.5.6a or 3.5.5?

Lightspeed

ok, multi-player is still WIP and not my responsibility, you shouldn't use it if the master game server isn't on, wich it isn't

can you give me a screen shot of these ghosts, maybe tell me when they seem to show up if you can find a paturn

the locking is probly due to the game loading things, this is a problem that FS has alays had

the thing that renders bitmaps in this build is sort of a hack, it's going to be replaced with something beter and faster eventualy

I think I know why it's crashing


Kakis

that's weird,

and could you get a better pic of that traill bug like up close in high resolution

Why don't you reproduce it instead. Play "The six wonder" mission and just look at the NTC Cato from your starting position. Thats where I got the screen and so far it has always apperad there.

I have seen the bug several times (also in fighter/bomber battles) but usually it's very short (but indeed noticable since it could go stragiht across the screen) but since it appears here from a slow straight firing ship it's kind of stable. It seems to have something with angle to do. Try to fly around it.

[Bobboau]

ok, I think I fixed it, zip has been updated

[IceFire]

Great work...I'll still wait a bit before I jump to the newest EXE's but things are looking great!

Yup seems gone.

Now this is what I like!

I report a bug (okay, explained it a bit better, buy anyway). Go down for dinner. When I come back the bug is fixed!

[Kakis]

doh...made a mistake

But I might as well use it for saying that it seems to have fixed those weird effects in the nebula as well.

[Flipside]

One little buglet, the Sun is still shining through things, or at least, it shone through an asteroid
