Barring any new bugs I find, I'll get a new binary up when the nuke bug is fixed and when I look at forges new save issue.

Assuming that you fix those bugs and don't find anything else, will you try to get your code into official eduke32?

this may, or may not still be an issue

Wanton Destruction crash a second or two after loading this save
polymer
no error messages - just quits straight to the desktop

game0_1.zip

Any save named game0_whatever is for the basegame only and not for wanton destruction. Wanton Destruction is game1_whatever.sav. Is it possible somehow you were loading the wrong savegame, or did you upload the wrong savegame?

That is TBD.

The save problem is repeatable.
Saving, quitting the game, restarting, & loading = crash.
Right now it's isolated to level 2.
Saves in Level 1 don't seem affected.
The player can stand still and look around all they want, but as soon as they move or use their weapon the game crashes within moments.
Saved in multiple locations throughout the level with the same crash results.

haven't progressed past level 2 to see if the behavior is consistent further into the game.
-can play to level 2 make a save, play the level through to level 3, make another save, quit, restart, load to see if issue is present.
-same as above without making a save in level 2 - just play from 1 to 3 and check for save-crash issue.

Do you see a game1_whatever.sav?

[icecoldduke]

I was able to repo a crash executing the steps you mentioned, a fix for it is checked into the depot and will be in the next patch.

NEW BINARY UPDATE:
NEW PATCH
https://forums.duke4...post__p__280337

WHATS NEW

• Fixed the rocket launcher nuke screwing up the audio channels.
  
• Added nullptr check to fix a crash found by forge.
  
• Fixed AI Attributes not having all values set(this was causing memory corruption). Gamevars are now moved to the autoload folder with _gamevars.cpp to ensure in Visual Studio the GameVar constructors are init first.
  
• Added game.lua. Fixed bloody weapon displays and moved all that logic over to game.lua
  
• Switched digi audio over to GameVar, this fixes numerous sound issues such as pain sounds not triggering properly.
  
• Fixed a bug where numgamelevels wasn't being init properly.
  
• Added TheZombieKillers levelinfo tables.
  
• Cleaned up sound/ambient loading code, moved into game.cpp.
  
• TheZombieKiller's work moving ambient audio over to lua tables.
  
• Code from the TheZombieKiller, all of digi audio tables are now converted over to lua tables.
  
• Removed terrible attempt at a lua preprocessor.
  
• Exported weapon entries table to user.lua.
  
• Moved conpic(weapon tiles) out to panel.lua. Fixed a bug in gamescript parser where #include in #included files would fail to parse.
  
• Fixed a gamescript memory error that would sometimes cause the gamescript to load garbage memory at the end of the buffer.
  
• swmapster: Set the extra of sector[0] to 512 to fix global visibility fog not showing up on new user maps.
  
• Added Lua setsectorlightintensity function.
  
• Added playsoundatsprite function with example in scripttest.map

Can you provide the save game file? It will have a game1_ in the filename. Game0 is not valid for wanton destruction.

To confirm you can only get this issue to repo after loading a game?

I'm not sure how the game gets into this state. Basically a USER is nullptr for a AI which shouldn't happen. Is there a track in that map?

A track?
Like railcar track?
If so, no. That's the next level (3).
If you can get past this level without exiting the game and make a save in level 3, or make a save in the secret map that can be accessed from this level - the saves in either of those following maps load fine.
It's only level 2 that's causing these save-crashes. (so far).

I think what he means is if there is a sprite track, a motion path for a sprite to follow.

NEW BINARY RELEASE:

!!!!PLEASE DELETE ALL YOUR SAVE GAMES!!!!

https://github.com/j...2017_patch1.rar

WHATS NEW:

• Potential fix for Forge's crash. I fixed an issue where spritestat and sprites weren't cleared properly between level loads. This should fix the issue.

Forge this patch should fix your crash, but you need to delete your save game and try to make it crash again. Basically I found a issue where sometimes sprite states stayed between levels and this was causing massive problems. See if this patch fixes the issue for you.

[Forge]

The save-crash issue is no longer present from the current testing I've performed.

Is there a reason that the red sprite debug is still on and weapon model sprite on the screen still has broken movement?

Also, it seems that the polymer box still won't remain checked...

Did you build from code? If so make sure you are building release and not debug. Currently that feature is on by default in debug I plan on guarding it behind a cvar at some point.

And I thought SW's shotgun was powerful enough with the auto fire mode.

I'm not quite sure what you meant by that.
If the riot gun's auto mode isn't powerful enough for ya, make sure you're close to your target to ensure that more bullets hit your target.
It can take down coolies in 1 auto fire, guardians in 2, giant rippers in something like 3 or 4. It's pretty awesome

Yup!
The way I have it set up is I have a SVN repository that I just update for every new release. I have a feeling, though, that it leaves some extra files behind, so I'll try rebuilding in a new folder.

*EDIT: This is where I have my SVN repository taking from: https://github.com/j...3/ShadowWarrior is this release or debug?

The visual studio project contains release and debug configurations. You need to change the build config to release like so.

Oh, nice!
That's convenient!

But now it seems that, once again, the enemies are occasionally playing their hurt sound in place of their idle sound

*EDIT: Not occasionally, really often

I'm not sure whats going on. I'll have to look into it.

As a side note does anyone know of anyone that can do a good Lo Wang voice?

ROFL IKR
Unfortunately, I don't know if it could even be possible to mimic that voice. It'd probably have to be someone at least 40 years old

In case anyone's interested, here is the highest resolution picture I have been able to find of the ninja and ghost:

Nice! I wonder if Terminx and Hendricks are in possession of the original 3d models.
