Good news for people who run eDuke32 in OS X like me. The reverse ambient lighting problem has been fixed in Snow Leopard 10.6.5. The other problem where sectors outside the one you are in stop rendering after a while still is present but I was happy to see the former fixed. Everything works proper on there other than the latter. Marcus Herbert hasn't compiled the latest SVN yet though. Does anyone on Windows experience that problem?

Issuing a restartvid command when the sector problem happens seems to work for now.

I'll start jumping back versions and see which one doesn't crash. So far I've tried the October 18th debug version and it crashes on that with pretty much the same thing:

It also did the same on the 30th of September and 31st of August snapshot, but they didn't come with a debug version. From what I just saw it seems to be caused by an actor using findnearspritez. This is the code I'm using snipped from the actor:

	findnearspritez CHOPPER_WAYPOINT 1024 16000 WAYPOINT
		ifvarn WAYPOINT -1
		{
			getactor[WAYPOINT].pal TEMP4 
			ifvare TEMP4 4 ifvare OWNERSAVED 0 break // If it has no troops, don't take this path
			ifvare TEMP4 3 { getactor[WAYPOINT].z TEMP7 setactor[THISACTOR].z TEMP7 }
				ifvare TEMP9 0
					{
					getactor[WAYPOINT].ang TEMP6
					setactor[THISACTOR].ang TEMP6
					getactorvar[WAYPOINT].ZVELSAVED TEMP2 ifvarn TEMP2 0 setvarvar ZVELSAVED TEMP2 // Set it's troop type
					getactorvar[WAYPOINT].HITAGSAVED HITAGSAVED // Set it's ascend rate
					getactorvar[WAYPOINT].LOTAGSAVED LOTAGSAVED // Set it's descend rate
					getactorvar[WAYPOINT].XVELSAVED XVELSAVED // Set it's stopping time
					getactorvar[WAYPOINT].YVELSAVED YVELSAVED // Set it's movement rate
					ifvarl OWNERSAVED 1 getactorvar[WAYPOINT].OWNERSAVED OWNERSAVED // Set the number of troops!
					setvar TEMP9 1
					}
		}
		else ifvare WAYPOINT -1 setvar TEMP9 0

I'm gonna see if using just findnearsprite crashes it (or maybe findnearactor)

EDIT: Nope, it still crashes with findnearsprite - I'll try findnearactor3d next.

EDIT2: And that caused it to crash as well.

[TerminX]

Since the actual crash is occurring somewhere in libvorbis, I suspect you have a corrupt ogg somewhere.

[Jblade]

The Chopper does use an ogg sound, so you're most likely right - I'll see what I can do to fix it. Thanks

[LeoD]

There are new versions btw., libogg 1.2.1 and libvorbis 1.3.2.

[Jblade]

Well I replaced the ogg sound with a completely different one, and it still crashes - I did update my ogg drivers from Vorbis.com yesterday so I'm unsure if the problem is on my side or something else.

[king karl]

i havnt updated my polymer in a long time where can i get it?

Latest version is always at the top.

Or do you mean the HRP, that can be downloaded here.

I like the new addition to Mapster.


For those that don't know what they are looking at, it's E1L1 but in a angled view.

Can I haz textures with that?

If you want to view the level in all its glory, just use the full 3D mode.

[Hendricks266]

I bow before Helixhorned. This reminds me of some stuff Ken has on his site about trying to upgrade BUILD and write Polymost.

If you want textures, I believe you can use the Polymer renderer and clip outside the map.

[Plagman]

It would still have perspective, though; this is an orthogonal projection, way easier to edit. I always wanted to replace 2D mode with an orthogonal view like that; it wouldn't be too hard to make the transition between 2D and 3D mode seamless that way, but I always give up after I take a look at the editor code..

Isometric view! Sweet!

[Micky C]

It's not just isometric, you can rotate it.

Is it just me or are people unable to edit anything in this mode? Although I'm aware that this feature is still in its early stages and has much potential for the future as it becomes more complex.

That thing is so useful for so many reasons. I made my avatar with an external render in mapster

[Piano Man]

Interesting question... Now that you can start looking at it in different angles in 2D mode... Is it possible to start editing and building sectors along a different axis for once??? Instead of building sectors on one axis???

Would it be possible to start building truly 3D maps???

[Micky C]

If by truly 3D maps you mean ROR then yes it is potentially possible. Polymer is already capable of rendering such scenes with a single pass but I recall helixhorned and plagman conferring about what changes to the editor would be necessary. This is probably one of the stepping stones on the way to being able to edit ROR in 2D mode, but there's still a fair way to go with kinks to iron out.

[herejex]

Hi everbody!

Is there a donwloadable Polymer version, or is only available for delopers?

Thanks for everything folks!

Thanks for the information.

I downloaded eduke with that links this morning , specifically I downloaded the .zip file, but what I get was a eduke.exe version without the polymer light effects. Do I have to download the bz2 file and compile it to get eduke + polymer?

[High Treason]

You have to tick the Polymer box when EDuke32 first starts, though if your system is not powerful enough it will switch itself back to Polymost when the game starts up.

I my good! It's true! Thank you!

[LeoD]

Most effects only work with patched maps, sprites/models, and textures. You will need the PolymerHRP.
But you can tell if polymer works for you without that:

Yes, for the time being various editing keys are disabled in side-view mode. The problem here is that it would be potentially confusing since you need to map a (x, y) mouse position to a position in 3D space. I intend to disambiguate the controls by having the middle mouse button have a special function: for example, when dragging a sprite, without MMB it's drag in BUILD (x, y) plane and with MMB, in the plane that corresponds to the screen.

I'm not sure what you mean by "building on different axes" but there are no new inherent capabilities -- all you can do with the new mode you also could do before. The main goal is simply convenience for architecture that spreads wide in the z direction, for spritework, and the like.

A crashlog would help .

edit: Shift-A/Z tilts the side-view up and down. Forgot to mention that in the commit message...

[Roma Loom]

Alt-tabbing mapster32 or windowed eduke32 always make them go into infinite not-responding for me, and it was like for ages.
Also few vidrestarts make mapster and eduke crash which is really annoying since I need to vidrestart to compare classic and polymer textures. The crashlog of eduke32_debug executable is something like this:
