1. I cant see all the servers anymore, like in pb4. Tried poweruser I still cant. There were like 20 in pb4 with all the dedicated servers. Now theres like 4 servers.

Just want people to be able to see my server and for me to see theres. I did join someone's server tho. Just want to know if no servers are hidden.


Just as you dont run a "No Map" Server, you'll be okay. The reason there were 20 servers is because they were all Ad servers spamming up the Gamespy listing, so GSH added in some code to hide all of them with "No Map".

2. When pressing the windows key to minimize the game. To quickly check something. In about 1 minute it automaticly kicks your from a server saying player ressed alt key or something liek that.


This new feature I do not like, sometimes people message me on XFire while Im in game and sometimes its urgent, I dont wanna alt-tab to help someone then come back to find out I was kicked for doing so...

I don't remember that, how long do you have to be alt-tabbed for? Really only 1 second can cause rather large game issues.

By default, it kicks you after 30 seconds.

Well, I can answer the second item.  Alt-tabbing in the middle of an MP game is considered an exploit to generate artificial lag.

So don't do that...

Smiley

As to Mods the third beta of the BZC MP DLL is in testing/development right now.  I have no definite release date but things are working pretty well for the most part.  A few issues to resolve, and some free time on my part, could mean a release next weekend.  Depends a lot on my rabid quality control guy...

Lives is coming along fairly good, so far. Just needs a few tweaks and steers in right direction.

About mods:
The way MRVP is structured, I can release it now and then release a 2nd pack to add the ones still on the drawing board. So I will release when ppl want it. I will need AIPs made so I can have the AI act like they use the recs, but those AIPs have to be written to handle an opponent using any of the possible recs. They aren't needed, I can just release the recs w/o AIPs.

MWF issue, that has been here since, I think, PB1

EDIT: Also:


Note: pb4a now requires a CPU with Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE) support, which helps give a framerate boost.


And that it does! My framerates went up from 120-160 to a full 250 FPS!

Hi Guys,

          I was running 1.3pb4 and the -aiplogging command line switch stopped working, No aip log file.....
          I hoped it would be fixed in 1.4a but alas, my aiplogging command doesn't seem to do anything.....

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.....

Yep finally got the time to try PB4  and....... it does not work.(as I thought it might not). I get this error : - BZONE.EXE file is linked to missing export KERNEL32.DLL:GlobalMemorystatus.EX

Sorry.....
Damn!

I think it should work in XP, I 'll have to shutdown my computer and boot it, and close networks, but I only do that when I really need to...

anyway, any Idears on this error?

Yes Mopar, /aiplogging no longer works.  Now you have to add the following to your addon\config\localprefs.ini file

aipLogging = true

Thanks for the prompt reply GSH & Commando, I will test with localprefs.ini addition soon......

Also getting weird graphics issue after 5mins or more of gameplay where the predominant sky colour changes most onscreen colours to that of the sky colour unless I set sky detail & lights to none in graphics options ( via GUI )..

This also happens in 1.3pb4 as a well as the new 1.3pb4a but wasn't an issue in 1.3 prior to pb4, I hope this helps with harrowing down the problem guys.....

Is there a new version of the DLLScripter available yet Huh

try the /nodxt commandline option.  Add it to your bz2 shortcut.
