1.40.655 Fixes.

[Plasmatic]

Patch including all these fixes here:
http://www.annihilation.info/downloads/1.40.655_sp1.zip

I'm trying to get a complete list of all the fixes 1.40 needs to be serviceable.

So far I have:
Master server patch.

Code: Select all

$Server::CurrentMaster = "0";$Server::MasterAddressN0 = "t1m1.tribes0.com:28000 t1m1.masters.tribesmasterserver.com:28000 t1m1.pu.net:28000 skbmaster.ath.cx:28000 kigen.ath.cx:28000 t1m1.masters.dynamix.com:28000";

Video Lag fix. $pref::screensize = 1; For you ati users. Fixes sporadic video lag.

The open call map fix <-- Link. Information.

Full screen fix:

delete or comment out (//) line 332 in console.cs

this is 331 and 332

Code: Select all

// GDCHACK : don't go fullscreen on startup (currently borked in webpage)
   $pref::VideoFullScreen = "FALSE";

Flag hud fix:

This fix applies to players on active mode servers like US Base and The Community.

• The built-in 1.40 flag hud doesn't update team scores when you join a server mid-game.
• In config\Core\Team.cs make the following change.

Instead of this:

Code: Select all

function remoteTeamScore( %sv, %team, %score ) {
   //$Team::Score[%team] = %score;
}

Make it look like this:

Code: Select all

function remoteTeamScore( %sv, %team, %score ) {
   $Team::Score[%team] = %score;
}

IceridgeLT Fix:

go into lt/missions

iceridegLT.zip -> iceridgeLT.zip

HUD position fix:

Code: Select all

/*
   Huds only get respositioned when PlayGui is loaded,
   so starting and leaving without playing will love up your hud setup.
   
   This standalone fix prevents that.
   
   Make sure this is loaded by
   a) naming it  "HudMessupFix.acs.cs" and put into config/modules ... idiot proof way.
   or b) putting into autoexec.cs
   or c) exec it some other way
   
   GreyHound / Hunden
*/

$HudMessupFix::DoExport = false;

//catch the case that restores the huds, if that happened, it's save to export them later
function HudMessupFix::OnGuiOpen( %gui ) after Hud::OnGuiOpen {
   if ( %gui == "playGui" )
      $HudMessupFix::DoExport = true;
}

//make sure the shizzle just exports under our conditions
function HudMessupFix::OnExit() before Hud::OnExit
{
   if($HudMessupFix::DoExport) //fine, don't halt
      return;
   
   echo("Sucky behavior detected and prevented.");
   halt;
}


.... damn this got annoying over time.

Feel free to do the fix at it's source, in "core/Hud.cs" ... it's basicly a copy paste if you know what you're doing

Not really necessary, but nice changes to make:
$pref::playerfov = 110; Default 90. Increases field of view to compensate for wide screen monitors.
$pref:terrainlodamount = 0; Default is 1. Decreases terrain warping at the expense of fps.

$pref::OpenGL::useMultiTexturing = "True"; Increases fps on some cards.
$pref::OpenGL::flushAfterPasses = "False"; Increases fps on some cards.

Anything else I'm missing (besides model validation)

Bah why.. TW can rot. Hopefully no one told them about Ascend.

Nice plas.

Though I believe the application itself is unstable and should not be used. I think they have some unfinished parts that need to be coded, that crash the app. In overall, 1.40 crashes much much more often than 1.11

Is 1.40 really worth the hard work of making it serviceable? Nofix?

[Blakhart]

140 is so much smoother playing than 130 or 111

Definitely not for me. I don't think I've ever had an in-game crash using 1.40, whereas they were somewhat frequent in 1.11. The only crashes I've had are in the server list screen, and that normally happens after a server crashes and I try to reload all. Even then, it doesn't happen all to often.

Yeah thats the most often crash with 1.40
I just don't know... starting to host servers with an unfinished leaked .exe which is not even beta...

[(=SK=)Zorak]

Well I dunno about hosting with it, but for client I prefer it much more than legacy.

[NoFiXette]

Yes. Using 1.40 server is just asking for trouble. Many exploits.

[Plasmatic]

Updated with link to patch.

[Quimica]

No full screen fix included?

I'd like to see an edited console.cs (with fullscreen fix) included that executes a new sp1.cs rather than overwriting autoexec.cs

[Plasmatic]

Aaargh, missed that one, thanks.

[Anubis]

If you see green lines as a bug, you may want to fix them too.

patchlines_1_40_655.exe

[DaJ4ck3L]

I'm not sure it's fixable, but sometimes on the server screen there will be a random crash while refreshing the servers.

[Plasmatic]

Yeah, no luck on that one yet.

[Quimica]

how about a sp1.cs in core for necessary patches and a readme for $pref changes

overwriting autoexec.cs sucks

[Anubis]

really? Never noticed that.

[NoFiXette]

I've never had server-screen crash. Hmm. How do you reproduce this so-called bug?

[NoFiXette]

Quimica makes a lot of sense here. Rather than overwriting files, etc, a single script should address all fixes, without modifying any other scripts. This is just my opinion though.

Just keep trying and hit refresh list or server, sooner or later it will happen.
