1.3 Public Beta 3 Av's

[Avatar]

Yeah, I read that, the bzedit.exe dlls need to have Editor at the end of the file name.  I'm quite certain those and FE missions worked fine in the previous 1.3 version I had with that tiny modification.

Only if they had the editor linked in when built, or were done through the Scriptor after a certain version.

I have a real odd av thats bugging me.
Legions of skaro, mpi game, all works well, game ends, back out to main screen, close BZ.
ACCESS VIOLATION
READING from 0320FD9Ch


The log is normal showing no av, no other details are displayed, av screen is partaly drawn like it forgot something....
I am using ai aircraftclass, I suspect it is linked to that, but have no firm evidence yet.

Ai aircraft do a funny thing when you ask them to pick you up, pilot jumps out, ship keeps deploying-undeploying untill you get into it.

After I comment out the aip commands that build and use some classLabel = "aircraft" units I have made this error stops happening.
I will study thier odf's to see if there are any obvious errors.

Ok got this, mpi game using human piloted classLabel = "aircraft", av at game shutdown

Not an av just an error.
 ParticleRenderClass:345  |16:49:47|185520 |ERROR: Effect "dsparker" has no base class specified

yes im trying to create a custom build effect, I cannot see what I have done wrong, my dsparker is not very different from the "sparker" in the 1.3 pak, I have tried various different ways of doing in, but the error persists and the effect does not work.

the odf

[Sparker]
baseName = "sparker"// changing this to dsparker makes no difference
simulateBase = "sim_smoke"
renderBase = "draw_multi"
renderCount = 2
renderName1 = "dsparker.smoke"
renderName2 = "dsparker.trail"

[smoke]
renderBase = "draw_emit"
emitName = "dspark"
emitDelay  = 0.2
emitVelocity = "0.5 -0.5 0.5"
emitVariance = "0.25 -0.25 0.25"

[dspark]
simulateBase = "sim_smoke"
lifeTime = 1.5
renderBase = "draw_twirl"
textureName = "cloud2.tga"
textureBlend = "dstcolor one modulate"
startColor = "255 255 255 255"
finishColor = "0 0 0 0"

finishRadius = 2.0
animateTime = 1.5
rotationRate = 5.0

[trail]
renderBase = "draw_emit"
emitName = "dmist"
emitDelay = 0.2
emitVelocity = "0.5 0.0 0.5"
emitVariance = "0.25 -0.25 0.25"

[dmist]
simulateBase = "sim_dust"
lifeTime = 1.5
renderBase = "draw_twirl"
textureName = "cloud2.tga"

[Commando]

Try commenting out both of the following.  One at a time though so only one is used at a time.

renderCount = 2
renderName1 = "dsparker.smoke"
renderName2 = "dsparker.trail"

If there is a dsparker.odf, the problem might lie in that odf since that is the effect specified.

[mrtwosheds]

Ill try it.
I kind of translate no base class specified as the game looking for classlabel = "something"


And it seems I am right, adding

[LightClass]
classLabel = "pointlight"
lightColor.r = 1.0
lightColor.g = 1.0
lightColor.b = 3.0
lightRange = 8.0
attenuateConstant = 0.0
attenuateLinear = 1.0
attenuateQuadratic = 0.0
lensflare = 0

to the top of the dsparker odf stops the error occuring,
there is still no effect however....not even the light.

[mrtwosheds]

ah ha!
Cold gas pours from my freshly created killing machines.....

It seems that it is important that the file is called sparker (sparker_d)
and that  the first header also has the same name.
This works.


[sparker_d]
renderBase = "draw_multi"
renderCount = 3
renderName1 = "sparker_d.core"
renderName2 = "sparker_d.smoke"
renderName3 = "sparker_d.trail"

Happened soon after I built a modded bomber bay in a single player game, any clues as to what I did wrong?
