I get the same exploding models bug again, but note that this version comes with a glowy bar on top...
|
You didn't tell what type of graphics card you have. Does it happen to all infantry, or just the GDI soldier?
|
Forgot to add that the exploding thingy happened to all vehicles and weapons. It's not the infantry that is actually exploded. Sometimes the terrain is totally missing on other maps.

ok, looks like there is another single player crash other than the one I fixed 
TSS888, what were you doing when your crash (that happened with 3.1.2) occured?
|
It happened right after the cinematic after the 1st mission (The Scorpion Hunters). The cinematic was the one where Havoc liberated a hovercraft from the ship. Right after the cinematic, before the loading screen, it crashes. I could not find any crashdump.txt (I deleted it before playing single player mode).

Some of the graphics problems are related to changes made by microsoft between Direct3D8 and Direct3D9. (for example the bullet hole glitching is caused because D3DRS_ZBIAS went away in Direct3D9 and the replacement D3DRS_DEPTHBIAS works a little differently)
|
Is there a possible fix to that?

Ok, thanks TSS888, I will have to find my renegade cinematics CD and try it out and see if I can reproduce it in the debugger.

Yes, I downloaded that package and can reproduce the specific issue with that blast door.
I am investigating what causes it and will hopefully know more soon.

Ok just to follow up. I havent been able to track down the cause of this particular single player crash. Did it happen in versions prior to 3.0? Which version was the first version to have this crash?
Also, does it happen if you make a savedgame near the end of mission 1 and then reload that savedgame and finish the mission?
Does it happen if you dont have the cinematics disk in the drive (and therefore the cinematic doesnt play?)
Also, the lens flare issue is being investigated and hopefully will be fixed in scripts.dll 3.1.3.

Well, first of all I run The First Decade, so I can't say weather or not it works with out the disk.
And also I didn't try it in past versions, I just heard this happening a lot, and decided to try it out for myself, and as it turned out I had the problem too.
About the save, do you mean to save the game just at the end of the first mission? And then load it later?
Cause that is the only time that I can save. Cause after the mission, it shows the stats then the movie, then it shows my desktop.
If that is the case as to were you want me to try and load a save from, I will do it tomorrow.

Nopol10, I do not have an answer for your graphics problem. Especially since so far you are the only one who can reproduce the issue.
As for the single player crash, figuring out which version it first started happening in is important.

Actually I think I’ve seen something like it before, but I can’t quite think of what was causing it…
Now I remember it was on a game called Homeworld: Cataclysm. It happened on my friends ATI graphics card, in the end we got it fixed; we had to patch the game. When I get home I will read the readme file in Cataclysm and see if they specified what was causing it. If they do I will get back to you guys.
As for the missing terrain, when I installed Renguard, and had some missing terrain, on field and a few other maps. In the end I reinstalled the game and everything was fine.
Another thing that could be happing is, do if you mod Renegade, if you do, have you ever tried making you own soldiers. Will that almost looks exactly like what happens if you do not WW space wrap (I think that’s what it is called) the meshes correctly. Of course if you haven’t modded Renegade that’s not what is happening.
Regardless, it would be helpful if you would tell us what the computers graphics card is (if you simply don’t know how to, all you need to do is go into “Control Panel” double click on the “System” icon (if in classic view) click the “Hardware” tab, click “Device Manager” open “Display Adapters” and there it is. It’s as simple as that!).

Well, I downloaded SaberHawks installer and I installed the new scripts.dll, however there is a problem. When ever I even start up ren, it crashes, there is no message, it just closes. I have not added anything else to my renegade folder and I cant find an answer, so please someone help.

Does it spit out a crashdump.txt in your renegade folder?

ok, further regression testing is necessary to find out if 2.9.2 was what broke it or if not which version was the first broken one.

As for jerards problem, its because (like the bullet hole glitches), there are differences between D3D8 and D3D9 when it comes to D3DRS_ZBIAS on D3D8 and D3DRS_DEPTHBIAS on D3D9 (both are supposed to do the same thing but they do it slightly differently hence the problems.) For 3.2 we are going to look into some kind of rewrite of the relavent code or something to fix the issues for good (hopefully).

And now we have scripts.dll 3.1.3. Get it from http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/rentools/
Changes:
Improvements to the way we manage ID3DXEffect instances (will fix the other alt-tab crash)
Some small code cleanup
A fix for the sun lens flare bug
Extra debugging stuff for shaders in a few places
Upgraded to Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 and fixed a problem with the crashdump code that resulted from the upgrade
If you are using Visual Studio 2003 or Visual Studio 2005 without service pack 1 and you have problems compiling 3.1.3, let me know
But I suggest upgrading to Visual Studio 2005 SP1 in any case 
Just make sure except.lib is in the same folder as all the source files and the code will do the rest
An installer is available at http://4camp.net/scripts313.exe
