ok, I'm in a bug fixing mood, what is your most hated bug

currently tested build

[Unknown Target]

Afterburner bug, and the missiles firing thru the cap ship "bug"

[Bobboau]

afturburner but seems to be traked down to some assembly, I don't know asm, but it may have been fixed,
and what is this fireing thru the capship bug, is it just the old fiireing through your own hull bug?

[Unknown Target]

Believe so.

[Bobboau]

I'll take a look at the fire through bug

[JC Denton]

You might also try fixing that fighter beam bug I submitted to Mantis

[Bobboau]

the flickering thingy?

[Bobboau]

ok, I think I've got the fire through bug fixed, but there may be realy bad problems with it, the ships that have problems with this already are likely not ever going to fire at all (becase there fireing points are inside the ship, thus always will colide with the hull) I'll post a build for testing in a bit (just had an idea how to help that a bit)

[Bobboau]

test me

realy test this make sure all ships can still fire from all turrets, and see if it does what it's suposed to do (ships not fireing through there own hulls anymore)
you will aslo find sevral other fixes (subspace, sky boxes, auto-centering, 3d shockwaves)
pease give quick and many responces, all of you
you, yeah you the guy reading this, down load and test, I don't care if your not involved oor have never posted before, I don't want to wait three days to find out if this is working or not!

[Bobboau]

I think fighter beams are going to be totaly reworked

[Zarax]

The video crash on explosions is driving me mad... Can you take a look at it?
Also, software (non htl) mode now has corrupted textures... Most ships have large white stripes on them...

[Lightspeed]

My most hated bug is targetting boxes and particle trails getting misaligned if the object moves to the edges of my FOV.

When I get the object back into my reticle they will be aligned again.

This causes targetting boxes to be displayed left / right of the ship, and shots 'losing' their trails.

This happens exclusively with HT&L, and started with the first HT&L build there ever was.



I'll go test the new build right now.

[Lightspeed]

Alright, that's one messy build.

1) Thanks for the ambient light, could you add a command line multiplier for it? (-amb 0 - infinity)

That way you can have later on FRED adjustable levels of ambient lighting which would get multiplied with the command line. On FS2 standard missions, the level would default to "0".

2) Revert to the old laser code:



3) There's something... wrong with the models:



Some textures are not displayed. They're pitch black. The shinemaps still work though (if i turn the model around, the black part will be lightened with the shinemap)

[Lightspeed]

On the upper left you can see the odd combination of texture parts with ambient lighting and black textures (no texture displayed) with only spec mapping.

[diamondgeezer]

How's about fixing the press-the-reticle-target-button-too quickly-and-it-crashes bug. You know, the 'Y' bug

[Bobboau]

RT will not be pleased, this is the first distribution with his new texture code in it. and he worked hard on it.
hopefuly I did something

[Sheepy]

YY does still haunt me from time to time, other than that, its looking pretty good my end.

[Bobboau]

I doubt I'd be able to fix the 'Y' bug

though I have thought recently about a eplacement, it wouldn't target a serese of ships in your reticle but it would target any ship you are pointed directly at, a ray picking targeting option

[Bobboau]

OK, updated the build, lasers should be rendering corectly again, and I tryed to improve the turret oclusion thingy.

[diamondgeezer]

Same link as before, right?
