I haven't tried WGR at all yet. If you point me to all the assets you want me to use, I can try to do it tomorrow.

WGR2 has a few issues with Polymer (now and when it was created)

1)large open detailed areas with low framerate (should be fixed with the new occlusion code you did)
2)the level geometry showing through parallaxed skies (pics in spoiler)
Spoiler

3)the showview command for some effects doesn't work (pics in spoiler)

I'm salivating waiting for showview in Polymer.

( I've lost a lot of spit ) :)

The entire pack is reuploaded.

http://www.filedropp.../wgrealms2hrp10

It is the same version of the last time with the same folder structure, if you want you can give a boost correcting the wgr2.def errors and adapt with the assets from the addon compilation.

The WGR 2 on moddb isn't an outdated one? with the latest eduke32.exe could cause various errors if not crashes.

ah yes the shotgun zoom, but it's not worth grabbing that whole add-on pack just for the patched CON

I gave a quick look at the textures so far. It looks like there are at least 30-35 textures that I recognize are in my map. I will probably add those instead of the whole pack. My project is a modified version of the WGR2 project so I don't need to include everything. I'll check out the models next.

I noticed a few of those textures were ones I made for another game. I'm glad to see them getting more use here. :)

I'll plug some of them in my game later today or tomorrow and post some screenshots or comments.

The whole pack it is intended to be universal for any WRG2 addon, even the vanilla WGR1 uses it, in this way you just have to use a different .def that ignores/includes some texture and models instead to have to physically move material and create a custom version of the pack for any addon.

I can even provide a mini-update based on Drek/William Gee contents, virtually an alpha of 1.1.

He's got access to all that from the svn and private subforum, I'm sure he already grabbed anything he thought was useful.

Yeah. I did some re-organizing and customizing for my project so the easiest thing for me to do is just def in the assets I'm going to use. It also keeps my project file size smaller.

Thanks for the offer.

This change is almost certainly the cause of your problem.

I know what TX intended here but there must be something about tspr->extra that he overlooked.

Can it be easily fixed?

- any chance of fixing the transparency bug while you are there?

I believe I've fixed the problem. However, it seems like the normal/specular maps are getting corrupted much like glowmaps are. On to that bug.

If you can fix those corruption problems it will be a huge help on various projects.

I second that. I'm helping with a project that we hope will release in 1-2 months that is very heavily relying on models and all the texture maps available. It would be great to be able to use an up to date version again.

I've bisected the glowmap problem to r5642. Can anyone confirm this?

glow/detail/normal/specular maps absent in Polymer
broken in r5400 (terminx), fixed in r5769

glow/detail/normal/specular map corruption in Polymost and Polymer
broken in r5642 (hendricks266), fixed in r5770

disappearing chaingun in Polymer
broken in r5658 (terminx), fixed in r5771

Please confirm.

I'm going to keep tracking down bugs and performance regressions so everyone can start using the latest builds of both game and editor.

Was there anyone who had trouble registering an account on the bug tracker? It's easier for me to keep track of things there than in threads.

Yea, I tried to sign up a while ago but never got an e-mail or a way to activate my account.

This is great news. It will make it a lot easier to wait for PolymerNG. Because for me at least, performance is not the biggest issue with Polymer, the biggest issue has been bugs.

Long shot - did you set 'preferred notification' to Email ? I just signed up and stumbled over this myself. Posted Image

Honestly, I don't remember but I just signed up again and I ensured E-mail was set for notifications. I have a hotmail account and the e-mail with the activation code doesn't seem to come to my inbox or my junk folder.

Funnily enough, prior to that announcement my Hotmail account was fine receiving emails from Duke4 but I haven't received one since, even for PMs.

Yeah, I figure Duke4.net must have forgot to create a PTR record for their mail server in the DNS server zone file.

Their mail server is using the wrong SMTP Banner as it doesn't match their PTR record. This should be a relatively quick fix. Once the change is made restart the SMTP server service for changes to take effect.
(THIS WAS FIXED)

They should also be adding a TXT record for SPF in the DNS as well.

Here is what the SPF record should look like: Host Value: @ IN TXT "v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all"

You can make your TTL like 500 so it updates sooner. However some DNS Servers prevent lowering this value too low. This SPF change is done not on the E-mail server side, it is done in the Name Server DNS for Duke4.net. In your case: afraid.org


*** UPDATED ***
Okay here is another problem. This could be very well why e-mail's are not being accepted at Microsoft. Duke4.net is blacklisted by BARRACUDA. As shown here: http://www.barracuda...195.154.251.129
Follow this link to delist yourself. http://barracudacent...emoval-request.
I've taken it upon myself to request that your e-mail server be delisted but since i'm not in control of the domain I have my doubts they will take me seriously.

Once these steps are taken there should not be a problem sending to Microsoft Servers at all.

Wow, that's amazing, thank you!

Normal, glow and specular are working on all but one of our models that have custom tile numbers. As it's one model only, I'm thinking it's going to be something with the model. I'll have to investigate further. Even coloured specular is working now.

There is a new bug that has appeared with transparency. I've got to ask Mark how he's built the item in question before we can make a proper report on what's going on.

With gloss maps, I've not tested them as they were only working on the HUD pistol and they didn't look as expected even then, so we disabled them on everything else. I'll have to re-set some up and test them.

IIRC TeaMonster also had trouble signing up in Bugtracker.

Thanks for the fixes. I have to go and check them out shortly.

EDIT: So far I see nothing broke with models and texture maps. Framerate stayed the same as older version i was using. I'm a happy camper.

I never got a confirmation back. I was using a yahoo address.
