Hello testers,

A next version can be found at the same link: http://www.razorjack.de/fs2-test.zip (executable + source)
Please test it if there are crashes. Especially I would like to know if the free camera from the scripting is working and if the multiplayer mode is still functioning.

The source can be compiled on the same way I told in http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,49809.0.html (one of my last posts)

Thank you all.

assuming you pulled your base code from head i should have a script or two that might help test those cameras. i know my guided missile script has a camera for the missile, but a pre-existing bug in the camera code wont let me reset back to my ship. the other script is a view script thats supposed to allow better view controls, but its also bugged and messes up the hud. but it should be enough to give a good test with.

unfortunately i cant seem to run a script with the r build. launching it just causes vista to give its program stopped responding error. the debur build ran with the script and managed to get in mission. but then i get a null vector error

fortunately i get the same message when running the script with my own debug build, so its not youre fault. i think theres either a bug in the script, or theres a bug in the camera handeling code. im currently trying to fix anything in my script which might cause the above error. i probibly foogot to check if something was valid.

oh heres my poorly commented missile code with hackishly added camera code that doesnt work too well

Chain letters!?  Where?  I see no chain letters.

As far as the debug build goes, it crashes to desktop using the current FotG development files, which don't crash goob's 9/22 debug build (from the stable branch).  No debug error message either, just a windows illegal operation error.  The regular build doesn't crash.

[jr2]

IIRC, Nuke, razorjack said he'd used a stable build...

EDIT: got it:

Please take also in account that I'm using a source snapshot from the 25th September and I can't keep the sources synchronized with the actual state of the SCP project.

[karajorma]

The builds are based on HEAD not the 3.6.9 branch.

[razorjack]

I'm using HEAD build, so maybe there are problems you mentioned.

For the camera script. Try to pass nothing to the function setCamera. I hope,  this would reset the camera tracking mode.
As I understood the FS2 code below looks if there isn't any argument available:

   if(!ade_get_args(L, "o", l_Camera.Get(&idx)))
   {
      Viewer_mode &= ~VM_FREECAMERA;
      return ADE_RETURN_NIL;
   }

[Nuke]

thats the way set camera is supposed to work. thats that pre-existing bug i was talking about. i mantised it. but if i try to call ts.setCamera() with no args, i tend to get a no arguments passed error and the game will crash.

on the scripting system side ive also noticed my guided missiles tend to go through their targets rather than hit them. the missile should detonate when you fly it into something. im controling the velocity directly and also changing the misiles orientation. you can also use this script on primaries but they tend not to hit anyything if you steer them more than a few degrees off the crosshair.

[chief1983]

If someone could get me an unmodified HEAD build from close to the date he checked out, I can find out if the crash to desktop is his code's fault or an existing bug in HEAD.

[Inquisitor]

Anyone with a CVS client can get by date.

[chief1983]

Last time I tried I wasn't having much luck compiling HEAD debug builds, I'll try again though.

Edit:  Well, I had success compiling, but the unmodified HEAD build still crashes with our files, so I guess it's something on our end.  Wish it gave some sort of error.  Probably one of our unstable models.

[Nuke]

use my build from the scripting forum, its fairly new and diffed wmc's code to update some of the scripting stuff. im not sure if wmc commited the diffs to cvs yet or not.
