No matter what I bind altfire/reload to, it won't work. I got the charge upgrade on the laser pistol and can't use it with the altfire not working, am I missing something?

[supergoofy]

Yep, my posts. Read my previous comments, there is fix there. (Post #108)

[Headless_Horseman]

Bug report : there's something in the map "The Slums of LA" that Eduke doesn't like at all, causing a crash.

Those happen rarely and are hard to reproduce. I'll bet if you played the level again it wouldn't happen. If you CAN find a situation where it happens consistently, the best thing would be to provide a saved game file from right before it happens.

I'm going to release version 1.01 later today.

[High Treason]

Haven't got round to playing much more yet, but anyway, suppose I'll give my feedback up to now;

Can I just say awesome? Haven't run into any real problems, it also makes you want to keep playing and adds new appeal to the game. The only real issues I have had probably aren't even from Attrition, but in Raw Meat and Hotel Hell the blue key was not anywhere in the level. but I had been playing for hours and this is likely a bug in EDuke32 or my computer, as I don't think you did anything to the keycards.

Leveling things up works fine, the effects are cool and seem to work - but like I said, the biggest thing is that it adds that new appeal and makes you want to keep playing, I found myself sat there on Stadium thinking "I've been playing for hours, I want to go to sleep... right after I level that chaingun up some more, I wanna know what it will do." also I think there is good re-play value, because I probably won't max it all out by the time I'm done, so I will probably keep playing again and again at least until I get everything to the top level.

[SolidSnake2017]

An option to disable the auto save would be nice, and a means to access the individual episodes of the old levels.

Certainly! Check out version 1.01, which I have just uploaded to Mod DB.

@SolidSnake: Making autosave optional is a good idea, but it's too late for me to put it in this update. I have, however, split the original levels into two episodes, so that goes halfway towards your second request, at least.

Quote

1.01 4-17-10
• Changed 'RELOAD&ALTFIRE' to 'ALTFIRE' which should fix a keybinding problem for some users.
• Split the original levels into 2 episodes, because there were just too many levels in one episode. This allowed me to add back a few levels that had been cut out.
• reduced damage from evil Dukes by 25%
• prevented big bosses from having the flag that makes them retreat (no walking backwards)
• added enforcer variant which fires devastator
• improved autosave
• various tweaks to difficulty progression
• reduced upgraded shrinker blast radius by about 20%
• First aid kits and health packs can now be partially picked up (remaining amount in smaller leftover kit/pack). This means you no longer have to worry about “wasting” health.
• Karate kicks do increased damage with every level up

I also added some stuff to the documentation, including a game tips section.

[Lunick]

Ohh, im downloading now

[supergoofy]

It's no ready yet. ModDB.com hasn't acknowledge it yet.

DT why not 'RELOAD&ALTFIRE' to 'RELOAD_ALTFIRE' ? After all, it is both reload and altfire key.

Well, it is impossible to satisfy every user/gamer.

p.s.: I'm still trying to figure how fraps works. I want to create small avi. It seems that I'll have to compress/encode fraps' avi with divx (or the open source xvid).


[edit]
I forgot to say: I'm in love with the nukes. I hope that you didn't reduce their power. A nuke is a nuke

[edit2]
ModDB.com still is not updated. How much time does it take for them to update the Attrition's page and download links?

The file for version 1.01 is not yet "authorized", but you can still download it anyway. I checked.

[supergoofy]

here what I see:

[edit]
Image removed as it is not needed anymore (as you understood what I wanted to show you).

Waiting for the file to be authorized by ModDB.com.

[Danukem]

Oh, sorry, my bad

I didn't notice the line at the end of what shows up on my screen: "Normal members will not be able to view this page."

Let's give it a little more time, and if it's still not available I'll upload it somewhere else.

[DuduKrazy]

i can't see the latest version, too. only v1.0.

[The Commander]

I'll try get it authorized if it's still not up soon.

[Danukem]

The Commander, on Apr 17 2010, 11:52 AM, said:

It has only been uploaded for just over 12 hours, and most authorizations take a lot longer than that. It's fine, I don't really mind if it takes a few more days. Please don't start bothering an admin about it.

[The Commander]

He no longer works for moddb.com as such and only has the power to authorize downloads and a few other things. Not anything big like news articles sadly, it's no trouble for him, plus I only ask it if they take 2+ days to show up like it was for DanM's mod.

So I was meaning like in a day or two. Not several hours. heh
I should have worded it better.

[supergoofy]

Well, I got it. I fished the download link. I will not say the way.

proof sent...

I'm not publishing any links of course. I don't want The Commander and DeeperThought kill me.

Bah... I got a PM with the link as soon as I worked out how he got the link.

Still, I think there is no harm in putting the link as all moddb.com is delaying people from playing the new version. So...

No I am not.

[Headless_Horseman]

I stumble in the previous mentioned Eduke bug again, this time in map "West Wuz Won". This is time is more consistent and I cannot finish the map even if I try a different save slot (on "The Slum of LA" I did it and everything went fine).
I have to mention that I never experienced this kind of bug with the Betas, so perhaps something in the updated code is causing it.
The log is similar to the one I provided last time :

An error has occurred in the EDuke32 virtual machine.

[Danukem]

If it's happening so often that you can't finish the map, you should post a copy of the saved game and maybe the virtual machine error can be reproduced on other computers (TX's in particular ). Unfortunately, the log information isn't as useful as it may appear.

[Headless_Horseman]

Hope this helps.

Thanks, that will probably be helpful. It looks like the cannonball projectile fired by the commander is causing the crash (the log you posted suggested that, but trying the saved game confirms it). I don't think it matters for this particular crash, but it does not appear that the saved game was started using the latest code. Was it a game you started before supergoofy posted his mirror today?

EDIT: I started a new game with my current code, gave the commanders the cannonball weapon, loaded up the same map and let them shoot for a while. No crash. So, either you were very unlucky to have stumbled on a rare combination of circumstances in which the crash occurs (and it does occur often in that saved game), or my latest code tweaks somehow avoid the crash.

[Headless_Horseman]

I'm dowloading v1.1, I'll let you know if the crash happens again.

[supergoofy]

Just a bump: ATTRITION's Mod DB page is updated now with Attrition 1.01

[Kenny mckormick]

Hum,i've get the Battlelord Chaingun,it's normal?...

[supergoofy]

of course it is. that's when fun explodes

[edit]

I made a post for Attrition in zdoom.org forums:

[VinsaneOne]

I have no bugs to report so far, and I'll dl the latest version for the new improvements but hate losing my stats! BTW, I never played mirrored maps before and damn, it's like all the original maps are new! They seem so different even though i've played them over 100 times. Having a blast at it. And about the auto save, I have manually saved in empty slots to avoid overwiting. Autosave is good, but one should be able to set the slot and name of the saved game.

[Danukem]

I thinking about getting rid of the autosave feature for the next release. Can anyone think of a good reason to keep it? If you forget to save, the worst thing that could happen is you would have to do the level over, since the player's stats are stored each time a level is completed.
