New Build (2011-03-30) - Quick Fix

[Ultraken]

Lots of little things...

There's known a problem when colliding with pilots in multiplayer--they're a lot more "solid" than they should be. I'm looking into it, and I'll include a fix in the next build.

Downloads:
Executable
Program Database (Optional)

Changes:
* Fixed beams and bolts passing through targets
* Revised fix for UnitTask InitSpecial crash
- Again? But that trick never works...
- This time for sure!
* Not accepting level editor agreement cancels /startedit too
* Disable /startedit in a net game
* Fixed missing window border when switching from full-screen mode
* Only give kill credit for CLASS_ID_STRUCTURE1 buildings
- This fixes mines and other minor objects counting as kills
* Allow Launcher target lock even without enough ammo to fire (like 1.4)
* MapList Add loads the map description text instead of Load
- This simplifies things a bit...
* Fixed GotoTask trying to use the goto command "where" as a full path
- This should make units navigate properly instead of getting stuck

old crash problem
when you are in edit mode click Ctrl+A -> Ctrl+E -> Esc -> "return to game"


Improvement:
make the music volume work in the shell so you can at least turn it off.

Is there anything special I need to do to get that to crash? I tried it on play01.bzn and newly-generated terrain and it worked okay for me. Could you try connecting to the executable with Visual C++ 2008 Express or some other debugger? A callstack would really help here.

(You'll need the .pdb file to get anything meaningful out of it, though.)

this is what i do :

I'll install Visual C++ 2008 Express next time I reformat my computer which will be soon.

It may be something going wrong with the mission script. I'll try it with that mission.

I doubt that, cause it happens on all maps. do you have any clue as why the cockpit looks like it does?

[Ultraken]

I haven't been able to reproduce it yet, unfortunately.

There seems to be two different versions of the cockpit geometry floating around depending on what data you use. (I actually prefer the simpler geometry over the higher-resolution version.)

My laptops max res is 1366*768 and I crash on all except 640*480, 800*600 and 1024*768
it's only in Ctrl+E, so you wont need to press Ctrl+A
ok this is what I get:

Interesting...

Looking at the code, it's either trying to read a tile value from outside the world or write past the end of the mix buffer. Could you PM me your render.cfg?

[Ultraken]

Was this on a custom map you were making?

[SnakeEye]

no, map doesn't matter for me every resolution that isn't in 1.4 crash after I press "return to game" I did notice that if I click two times on ctrl+W after pressing ctlr+E the game didn't crash.

Also snake, IIRC flipping the zbuffer switch will fix your cockpit.

yes but zbuffer is locked on.
