Well i was aboot to do the same as well

Can someone play with the ambient light sliders in FRED and see if anything should be adjusted.

[WMCoolmon]

Anybody who has the "floating number" problem with this build, please post in the bug in Mantis. (There are already at least two)

If no one notices it in a week then it's probably been fixed.

Oh, and if you can, check out the turrets...I've had some reports that they aren't working properly, when they should be working pretty much exactly as they do in retail, with one small difference - other weapons on the turrets that have a snail's chance in hell of hitting the target ship will also fire. The first primary/secondary weapons will still be used to line the turret up with the ship.

[redmenace]

Turrets are locked and won't fire on the Deimos.

Also there is a CTD in between missions.

[Mongoose]

I experienced a severe slowdown at the start of a mission, on the order of 30 seconds per frame.  It occurred while looking at a group of about ten fighters, several of which were Shivans with glowmapped textures.  I've never experienced any significant slowdown due to glowmaps before this.  I don't know if this was because of the current condition of my computer or not, though.

[redmenace]

I ran the debug build but I did not get a crash. Also, where is the debug spew now. Did i miss something?

[Starman01]

@goober : Eeeh, sorry to say that, but it seems that the special raise is not in there, I'm still getting the "run out of...."-error at the same time.

Though I have to say, that I only tried with the fred_r_build, because my damn XP crashes every debug-build. You sure you bumped it up ?

[Jonathan_S47]

Several capital ships do not fire their weapons at all. Those that do fire are not firing like they should (reduced rate of fire). I also noticed that the laser bitmaps are being rendered backwards.

[MetalDestroyer]

What sort of improvement will we meet in this new built ?
Do it include the Cell Shading built from Bobbau or WlCoolmon ? (i don't remember correctly from who is the Cell Shading built ).

It was bumped. Post this on Mantis, along with the specific steps that caused the error.  Also post which mission this occurred on.  (You don't have to upload the mission, since I have it.  Of course, if it has changed, you'll have to post it in the WCS internal. )

Same problems with the FS2 build - capships rarely fire their beam weapons, and the Deimos appears locked.

The FRED build however, is working like a charm

[phatosealpha]

As noted, capships have issues.  Sometimes they don't fire at all - In the end of "Their finest hour", the Sathanas won't open fire on the collusus, making the retail campaign essentially broken.

Oddly though, I've noticed that the vasudan corvette actually does use it's beams on the three freighters in the beginning of that mission, and I don't remember them ever actually firing the beams on them before.

Also, when playing at large resolutions, non native resolutions, the 2-d portion (the main hall, techroom, loadout and briefing screens) are all broken.  The actual images are non-scaled and stuck in the upper left hand corner of the screen.  Unusued portions leave mouse trails like they're not being updated, though all the controls still require you to click on the spot where it would be if the image were scaled properly.

[WMCoolmon]

Sounds like I need to do another run through the new turret code. More specifically, it sounds like the 'huge' flag restriction may be reversed, and/or the timestamp for turret updates set wrong.

Do turrets still turn smoothly?

[redmenace]

I also think I saw a crooked barrel on a maybe on the ntf astroid base.

yet my weapons.tbl is just fine.

Two: On using FRED2_Open_r, i selected new mission and it crashed.

[EDIT] nevermind, i removed the -fredhtl and it works fine

WMC, this looks like your bug.  Take a look at the line in question... it's almost certainly related to making the sounds limit dynamic.

I am getting these two errors during load:

check to see if you have the proper vp's.

[Cobra]

yay! the distance meter works!

[WMCoolmon]

It looks like it was probably caused when I forgot to increment Num_game_sounds; but a quick debugging session shows that with the current CVS it seems to be working fine, unless there's some esoteric table modification causing it.

As for the shornetd thing, a huge !? I fixed that in POFCS. Heck, I'm pretty sure I started and loaded a mission with the problem to verify that it was actually gone.

I've edited the file with a hex editor to do the fix. you can't get much more certain than that.

The vec3d sounds like a high-poly model issue, going by the call stack and my experience with the error. Usually not a problem.

The warpmap02.ani load problem sounds like a memory issue; there've been some of those lately. Beyond that guess, I can't say.
