Changes from 20050530 build:

 - all known OGG and streaming audio errors fixed for both OpenAL and DirectSound versions.  Successfully tested with TBP 3.2 beta

 - better error handling in OGG code to fail gracefully with multiple logical bitstreams

 - proper Game_mode switching in the barracks to prevent single player campaign savefiles getting overwritten when initially in multi mode

 - fix simulated speech in debrief where the full text would get repeated when you clicked on "Recommendations"

 - better audio handling when game is minimized.  It should now properly shut off sounds when minimized and pick them back up when you restore the game window.  Some sound, such as on the mainhall, will have to finish playing before it actually stops but it will stop.  Command briefings will pause audio and anis and continue them rather than restarting.  Briefings should pause voice and briefing, not to continue until you restore window and finish with voice.  If any of this is wrong or any screens still have audio (music, voice, sim speech, ambient sound) please report it.

 - another attempt at the support ship docking crash.  This fix may cause other problems so please verify that you don't have any docking issues with mods or support ships.

 - error handling fix for jumpnodes which don't model_load() properly (WMCoolmon)

 - fix spawn missiles locking on protected ships (WMCoolmon)

http://icculus.org/~taylor/fso/willrobinson/20050602-win32r.rar (1.3meg, Release build only - DirectSound)
http://icculus.org/~taylor/fso/willrobinson/20050602-win32r-OAL.rar (1.3meg, Release build only - OpenAL)

That covers the main stuff.  Report any problems. (immediately assumes this thread will be filled with redmenace posts )


While testing, please verify these bugs as fixed or not:
Spawn missiles lock on protected ships
Slowdown in user interface sections with anis
"Next" arrow not working
Escape ignored in briefing

Taylor, could we possibly see a FS2_open_R and anything neccessary to run that package alongside the proper total release?  11 Mb is murder on a 56ker

Crap!  Looks like I forgot to update that file so this change is in fact missing from the build.  I'm running off a new build set now and will update it shortly but anyone who already has the build will not have this change.

Sure,  I'll add a link to that in a little while.

I found a couple of issues with Apocalypse.

[redmenace]

I had a crash during The Roman's Blunder when I was turning to look at the fenris.

[redmenace]

I went ahead and tried it again. Same result.

[StratComm]

Take the spaces out of your filenames redmenace.  It downloads correctly as "the" (by some miracle) but has no extension and so doesn't associate with a zip by default.

[redmenace]

Here is the second one again

[redmenace]

Not that I want to pressure you, but the fenris bug pretty much hampers my testing since many missions have fenris and Leviathans in them.

I've tried to recreate this without success.  Looks to just be driver related though and as I have an NVIDIA card it may not ever happen for me.  There is likely something in the code triggering this but I don't know what that might be.  What are your cmdline options?  Also try deleting your cruiser01 and cruiser01x IBX files in case it's a data problem hitting some VBO issue.  And for good measure I'll say "driver upgrade" too just in case but I don't know that it's actually a driver problem.

[redmenace]

Well I will update the drivers and remove the IBX files from the cache.

-spec -glow -jpgtga -2d_poof -rlm -ship_choice_3d -targetinfo -orbradar -3dwarp -smart_shields -noparseerrors -decals -fps -stats -show_mem_usage  -allslev -mod SCP

[redmenace]

Wow, it was the drivers. I was using drivers to test d3d that worked with the shine maps.

[redmenace]

Also here is an additional fs.log for you to look through concerning the bmpman error.

[WMCoolmon]

Apocalypse

I had killed the rest of the bombers and headed to the node and engaged my jump drive with 10 seconds on the clock.
Then this happened.
Assert: Viewer_obj
File: u:\src\cvs\fs2_open.testing\code\freespace2\freespace.cpp
Line: 1950

Call stack:
------------------------------------------------------------------
    game_render_frame()    game_frame()    game_do_frame()    game_do_state()    gameseq_process_events()    WinMainSub()    WinMain()    WinMainCRTStartup()    kernel32.dll 7c816d4f()
------------------------------------------------------------------

This looks like something related to something I did, I remember setting Viewer_obj to NULL for free-camera stuff.

[redmenace]

You might want to look into this one as well.

[Target]

Something I've noticed with this and other more recent builds is absolutely terrible nebula performance. My fps are cut by more than half in some cases. I can use an older build like fs2_open_T-20050103.exe and have my fairly steady 85 fps and then use this latest one and get 30ish.

[redmenace]

It is being looked at. It is isolate in D3D. Try running Open GL.

[redmenace]

The Shards of death have returned.

[DrunkenPirate]

Hm, I did wonder why my 6800GT was struggling with nebula missions so much but since you gents already know about it I'll shut up and let you get on with it.

For whatever ship or ships you thing is causing this, please send me the IBX files.  I'd like to check them against what I have and see if I can figure out exactly what's wrong and if there is a way to guard against it.  I am going to add a new IBX debug line to the log which will print out the checksum of the model and the IBX file.  If I have to go so far as build a database of valid IBX file checksums then this will let me.

I still wish more people would distribute them.  I've got custom MediaVPs with most of the hi-poly ships in them and everything has an IBX but since it's not official I don't publicly distribute those.  I do have one volition_ibx.vp though which has IBX files every one of the original game models.  I'll at least get that posted to the SCP download site this weekend and see if people use it.  As far as I know, every IBX file in it is valid.
