• Taylor's freezing fix
• Fix for the lab crashing bug
• OGG music fix (untested - this may result in crashes mid-mission. It should clear up the CTD on load, though. If it still crashes in-mission, then I need to try a more hackish solution or talk to the OGG devs)
• Briefing re-fix (untested)
• Changes to try and fix subsystem positions in the targeting window in unsupported resolutions.

When loading 'Surrender Balsarius':

AppName: fs2_open_c20050306.exe    AppVer: 1.0.0.1    ModName: ntdll.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.1106    Offset: 00006b45

Mind I havn't had a working build all night since I updated the new media files.
Sigh.
I'm gonna check it with no options on.

Update: Mind you its the same deal.
I think its something I've done though. I'm going to go back to the old media files.

Really starting to annoy me. Sigh.

Update2: Got it working.
 Turns out I didn't have the vbo flag on.
Wish they'd tell the stupid people about things like this. (ie me)

[Turambar]

it works!  i finally got through a mission without crashing!  with the music.vp in my base folder! and music and sound on! woohoo!

it does this little thing where it stalls during the briefing, but it only does it once and it works fine afterwards

[Axem]

Yeah I get that breifing problem too.

I also get a small alignment problem with the primary ammo readout.



I've only tried it in 1024 not sure if its like that in 640.

[WMCoolmon]

Yeah, there's an alignment problem if you have two primaries and two secondaries as well.

(Todo list)

[starfox]

Very stable build, zero crashes so far !. I can enter, play and exit the mission without trouble and that means a lot.

[WMCoolmon]

New build

This should fix the hud-weapon misalignment bug and a CTD that oocurs with support ships and docking. Also, cutscenes should work - I used FS2Open's cutscene playing ability for the first time today.

[DrunkenPirate]

Gonna play test this now...

[WMCoolmon]

This build still seems to have trouble with Rebels and Renegades...it seems to crash when it's loading an anim.

[DrunkenPirate]

Ok, plays pretty good, still crashes on "Rebels & Renegades" though as soon as I hit the "Commit" button it CTD's and gives me the "Freespace 2 has encontered a problem and can not continue, we are sorry for the inconvemnnence" blah blah.
I also cannot play "Their Finest Hour" either, but that problem is a little more complex as it gives me a different error each time :/

Forgot to mention. Besides that. no other issues.
Gonna try playing "Rebels and Renegades" and call it a night.

[mrduckman]

Done. Found no problems playing it whatsoever. See ya tomorrow

[Turambar]

things are misaligned in the briefing screen on non-standard resolutions

[WMCoolmon]

Screenie?

[Trivial Psychic]

Regarding non-standard resolutions, when selecting a resolution higher than 1024/768, does it resize the 640/480 instead of the former?

Oh, and my attempts with non-standard resolutions in 1152/864 resulted in wierd effects with ship selection and loadout icons.  As you select and move it, it moves faster than the cursor.  When the cursor reaches the deposit point, the icon is up and to the right.

[WMCoolmon]

nonstandard resolutions use 1024x768 art, AFAIK. But I've never tried 800x600.

And yeah, the loadout thing is known. I've made a couple attempts at fixing it, but didn't make it any better. I suspect I'll get it once I really sit down and fix it.

I've also had no trouble with the briefing in Derelict, LM, Inferno, or the main campaign at 1280x1024, so...

Edit: Or, maybe while explaining it, the solution will just come to me and the ship selection bug will be fixed in 10 minutes.

[Psychonaut]

I have a massive framerate drop (i think more than 50%) in relation to Bob´s WM-Build.

my flags are:-spec -glow -pcx32 -jpgtga -nomotiondebris -2d_poof -pcx2dds -d3d_no_vsync -nobeampierce -dualscanlines -ship_choice_3d -targetinfo -orbradar -3dwarp -snd_preload -env -fps  -ambient_factor 70 -allslev

as you can see, nothing special. I didn´t recognize any ingame freezes for now (i havn´t played it that much). Ah btw. i´m using cat 4.3 -> maybe that´s the reason for the framerate drop?

[DrunkenPirate]

Hm, Frame rate seems pretty good for me, I am running OpenGL with Catalyst 5.2 drivers on a Radeon 9800pro|AMD3000|1024MB

CMDLine|C:\Games\FreeSpace2\fs2_open_C20050306b.exe -spec -glow -jpgtga -nomotiondebris -rlm -nobeampierce -dualscanlines -ship_choice_3d -targetinfo -orbradar -3dwarp -smart_shields -snd_preload -novbo -loadonlyused -fps -window  -allslev -spec_point 0.6 -spec_exp 11 -spec_static 1.2 -spec_tube 0.4 -ambient_factor 75

[StratComm]

try removing pcx32, since out of all of those it's going to be the real mem hog.

[Tolwyn]

I am experiencing enormous frame rate drops with new builds, particularly with this one, i.e. if previously I had 50 fps in a large scaled battle now I get only 15-20.

I am running Catalyst 4.4 (Radeon 9700 Pro)
