Second example looks like it's just marking it with a tag so that the neartag() function can find it. The third is interesting... if you look directly below the WATERBUBBLE__STATIC case label there's a check for APLAYER, clearly indicating that the APLAYER__STATIC case above once fell through.

[Nukey]

I agree, the first APLAYER block probably fell through at one point, which would nicely explain why that "else" exists.

I am a bit confused on the second part though. Maybe I'm reading it wrong.

It looks like the "if (j >= 0 && sprite[j].picnum == APLAYER)" part doesn't depend on the previous case falling through, since it's checking (what I assume to be) the owner sprite that is spawning the bubble, instead of sp->picnum directly

[Fox]

Indeed. I assume that at some point there was another case which was removed.

[TerminX]

Oh, oops, you're right--I read the j as an i.

[Fox]

Is there an easy way to render a md3 like the ones used by Eduke? For example, if I wanted to create sprites from the Liztroop HRP model from all five angles and for all animation frames.

[Mark]

You could load the model into most modeling programs and take screen caps as you rotate the model. I did that when Teamonster sent me his Duke model for beta testing. Its time consuming but possible. If there is an easy to use all-in-one program solution I am not aware of it.

[Jblade]

How do I go about including a file or something that automatically binds a bunch of keys by default for the player? Will using settings.txt work ok?

[Jblade]

Ok, let's try another question - is there a way to stop Eduke32 from autoloading grps in other directories? Somebody's trying to play the TC and Eduke is apparently autoloading NAM's grps from the steam directory.

[Nukey]

I was coincidentally skimming through the program parameters as I read your message. No idea if these are what you're looking for but they looked relevant:

-usecwd (read game data and configuration files from working directory)
-gamegrp (selects which file to use as main grp)
-noautoload (disable loading content from autoload directory)

[Mblackwell]

-usecwd can also be done by including a blank file called user_profiles_disabled iirc.

Polymost glitch when looking all the way up. Edit: Starts on 5084.

Getting a crash in the latest snapshot with the AMC TC - if you load up a map and shoot at a metal surface, the game crashes (for instance INVURB.map has a metal trim right in front of you by the door) Here's the log:

Incidentally though I saw you added a flag for projectiles that stop them lighting the actor up Hendricks, thanks a bunch for that as it'll fix some very annoying visual glitches where the player lights up when removing a magazine or swinging a melee weapon.

[Hendricks266]

Evidently I still haven't fixed setprojectile. Thanks for speaking up.

[Fox]

I am having a problem with the latest SVN too. It could be unrelated, but try disabling the texture cache on Video -> Advanced -> On disk texture cache.

I'm testing in that location and I can no longer trigger a crash. I believe I resolved the issue with the sanity checks I added in r5110, judging by the messages printed to the log when I shoot at the metal trim.

I believe I have resolved this problem as well: something I didn't realize I needed to do in r5107 that broke model skins. It will be included in my next push.

[Jblade]

Thanks for this fix, however I think this commit:

Quote

C-CON: Add checks to prevent invalid reads/writes when using get/setprojectile on a tile number that does not have a projectile defined for it.

Is causing problems with default Duke projectiles as it's setting userdata variables it shouldn't do (If you test with the AMC TC, default Duke projectiles like the pigcop's shotgun will set the player on fire so the game must be defaulting those projectiles to a userdata value of 2 or something)

[Lt.Havoc]

BTW: any news regarding the long jump bug as described in the other thread?

The game returns -1 for any invalid structure access. We recently changed the way projectiles are allocated to save memory. Previously, every tile had the projectile structure allocated in memory, but now, only tiles that have had defineprojectile used do.

If you expect the userdata of any undefined projectile to be zero, then you can check "ifvarand tiledata[<tilenum>].gameflags 8" (which I just added) to test if the tile has a projectile defined for it before accessing userdata.

[Jblade]

Cool, just tested it and so far haven't seen any problems. Thanks a lot for helping out with this

[Jblade]

Can the savegamevar system be changed or fixed at all so it either writes when you ask it to, or it does before the game exits? If the game crashes for someone before the game quits, than any changes made aren't saved.

[DavoX]

Sup guys, is there a way to use mapster32 both 2d and 3d mode in widescreen windowed mode using a fullscreen monitor? I'd like to "fake" widescreen recording by recording mapster32 window but can't select resolutions that aren't for my fullscreen monitor...

[Hendricks266]

Use the console to set the resolution:

vidmode <xdim> <ydim> <bpp> <fullscreen?>

For example, on a 1080p display:
vidmode 1920 1080 32 0

The window will automatically center to achieve "windowed fullscreen".

[DavoX]

Thanks Man!

[DavoX]

By the way, do you think it could be a bug that it doesn't save the resolution I set for it? I mean I can save it on the cfg but when I restart mapster, it takes me back to the other resolutions in the main menu. I have to set everything again with the console each time.

Follow my signature and try a non-SDL build...

LA sky displays a single tile on levels other than E1L1. Starting on 5084, working on 5064.

[LeoD]

As of EDuke32 r4472 the wrong month (currently 03 [March] instead of 04 [April]) is written into the automatic savegames.

[LeoD]

The warning message

Warning: smoothduration out of range.

introduced in defs.c r5079 does not give the DEF file line number of the offending value.

[Jblade]

Was there ever a fix for that bug with the moving cloudy sky texture that would end up mis-aligning for reasons?
