Is there a limit to the number of voxels that can be defined? I'm having some problems where the last voxels to be loaded instead load up the first voxels to be defined.

There is, but it's 4096 and I doubt you're hitting it.



Voxels interact weird with the memory limit, especially in polymost, try setting the cache higher??

I did try that, no dice - I'll go over and take a look but I can't see any kind of typos I made in the list. All I know is that the last few voxels I've defined start getting replaced by the first ones I've defined. I've only got 256 so yeah I can't of reached the limit.

How do you enable gloss maps apart from setting a part of an image transparent in specular map? Because for me and some other people it never worked.

If you save a game near an ambient sound, the sound will stop playing until you move away and come back into radius again (I tried other menu options but only going into the save menu and saving did it - basically I think when you save and the menu automatically exits and takes you back into the game is what causes it) Not sure if this is just an engine quirk or whatever but I thought it's worth bringing up.

Was the sound actually playing when the game saved? Maybe when you restart the game, the sound is still "playing", but it never ends because it isn't actually playing, so it never starts again.

You set the base specular power/factor of your material with the specularpower / specularfactor DEF tokens in the specular map definition, and then the RGB channels modulate the RGB components of the factor separately, while the Alpha channel modulates the power.

Ok, I think that changed something. But how to get reflective surfaces? Like the windows that were once hardcoded.

IIRC there's no way to get reflective surfaces like that in the game from the modder's end. I doubt anything's changed since I last looked into it a while back.

Would there be a chance you guys could add a similer shortcut to ; and P or V that allows us to set the shade of all selected sectors, walls, and sprites? Or is there already a mapster script or something that adds that functionality?

Throw this in a .m32 file, adjust to taste, and include it from the console. Select the sectors in question with RALT and do state jbladeshade.

gamevar i 0 0
gamevar j 0 0

defstate jbladeshade
    for i selsectors
    {
        set sector[i].floorshade 0
        set sector[i].ceilingshade 0

        for j wallsofsector i
        {
            set wall[j].shade 0
        }

        for j spritesofsector i
        {
            set sprite[j].shade 0
        }
    }
ends


Or, a more robust version if you'd like to also be able to select individual sprites and walls with RSHIFT:

gamevar i 0 0
gamevar j 0 0

defstate jbladeshade
    for i selsectors
    {
        set sector[i].floorshade 0
        set sector[i].ceilingshade 0

        for j wallsofsector i
        {
            set wall[j].shade 0
        }

        for j spritesofsector i
        {
            set sprite[j].shade 0
        }
    }

    for i selwalls
    {
        set wall[i].shade 0
    }

    for i selsprites
    {
        set sprite[i].shade 0
    }
ends


Third version, has a variable setshade that you can do set setshade 10 from the console instead of changing and reloading the script:

gamevar i 0 0
gamevar j 0 0

gamevar setshade 0 0

defstate jbladeshade
    for i selsectors
    {
        set sector[i].floorshade setshade
        set sector[i].ceilingshade setshade

        for j wallsofsector i
        {
            set wall[j].shade setshade
        }

        for j spritesofsector i
        {
            set sprite[j].shade setshade
        }
    }

    for i selwalls
    {
        set wall[i].shade setshade
    }

    for i selsprites
    {
        set sprite[i].shade setshade
    }
ends\

In the special functions menu, use the global shade divide with a value of 128. That will set the shade of the whole map to zero.Select the area you want and in the 3D view change the shade. Load the map again so your area with different shade will be copied to the same map.

If the wall is marked as a mirror it should do the right thing. The map was changed for that wall to be a mirror for these screenshots.

Ah, so it won't work for models alone.

Just a theoretical question - would it be possible to change a certain pal number's shade table so that the sprite itself is rendered invisible (or close to it, whatever) but everything under the sprite is actually made brighter? How would one go about doing this if it is possible?

You would have to change the sprite blend table.

I don't know if anyone else has noticed this or not, but Mark and I have found that normal. spec and gloss maps don't work on models assigned to custom (user defined) tile numbers.

This bug was introduced in build 5400. 5395 worked OK.

Flyspray won't authenticate my login, so I've PM'd Plagman and Mark has started a thread in the bug thread.

For all of you asking about gloss maps, this is probably why. I tested it with the HUD pistol and it seemed to work.

Just a quick question, how do I use mapster32 script to draw a line between 2 sprites with matching tags? I've tried to take a crack at it but I can't get it to work.

I just installed the latest mapster32 snapshot for 64bits but when i fire it in windowed mode, it is way too high in the screen, hiding the top bar and a whole chunk of the tool itslef. Is there any way to position it so the bottom line of the window alligns the taskbar? I know this was possible with older snapshots (maybe with windowpositioning?) but i can´t even drag the top bar to place it properly because it´s hidden way up there where my screen doesn´t reach.

Right click taskbar select cascade windows.

Should do it for you.


(added;)

You can set the window position manually in mapster32.cfg

Line 59...
; Window positioning, 0 = center, 1 = memory
windowpositioning = 1
windowposx = 3
windowposy = 30


That will be top left corner.

Does STAT_MIRROREDACTOR not work anymore? I vaguely remember seeing someone mention it a while ago; I tried to use it ingame but the statnum isn't being set by anything (or rather I have the sprite set up to log its statnum and there's no result matching STAT_MIRROREDACTOR )

It's only set during animatesprites for sprites displayed on mirrors.

I'm curious to know if the developers are still intending to release Eduke\Mapster updates? Or has Gearbox put a noose on such activity? Hasn't been any published updates in over a month and I find that kinda strange.

It's because there's a big code refactoring happening behind the scenes that's not getting pushed until there's been a ton of testing. When that comes, coming with it are a decent number of bug fixes.

Thank you for the update! Looking forward to see what's around the corner. =)

Hey guys, I just tried out EDuke32 r5829 64bit in order to test out one of my mods (Attrition). It wouldn't start and I found this error in the log:

ERROR: NULL weapon! WTF?! WEAPONzd_CLIP

The older snapshot works fine. I don't have time to investigate this, I'm just saying this is what happened.

Yeah, it's actually a compiler bug. We're working on further changing the affected bits of the source to work around it.
