Work is being resumed on scripts for Renegade
type: item
description: After lots of discussion internally (and some offers of help from the community) we at Tiberian Technologies have decided to resume work on scripts development for Renegade. Both Jerad2142 and WhiteDragon are going to be doing development on what will be known as "Scripts 4.2". This is also the scripts build that Tiberian Sun: Reborn is currently shipping. The following changes have been made to scripts 4.2 so far: Fix an issue where VehicleGameObj::Get_Vehicle_Name was not working properly Various fixes to Danpaul's dp88_* scripts Changes so that bandtest.dll no longer links to vfs.dll. (It was linking to it but not actually using it) The launcher still needs vfs.dll however. Improvements to the scripts documentation. Fixes to SH_UndergroundVehicle Fixes to JFW_Turret_Spawn_3 Fixes to JFW_Attack_Object/JFW_Attack_Location Fixes to MDB_Unit_Limit The following changes are being in the process of being back-ported from Scripts 5.0 to Scripts 4.2: Various small bug fixes and cleanups and improvements (that aren't really user visible) Fix an issue with JFW_Hijacker_Vehicle_2 Changes to be able to display text in lsdview/w3dviewer FPS display for lsdview and w3dviewer Improvements to Script Zones Fixes to how AI soldiers handle doors, elevators and ladders. Make lsdview restore last-used camera/window position on start Various small optimizations/changes that should provide small performance gains. Improve the way we enumate graphics devices Fix a crash that could occur with dazzles on shutdown Fix an issue with some text rendering code Fix window size for w3dviewer Enable dynamic shadows affecting dynamic objects Fix some issues with the settings under "Global Settings - General" in leveledit Change it so that the engine start sound for vehicles will override the engine off sound. Add "Default and Soldier only" collision group A fix for the delay that occurs when you exit the menu in skirmish mode (and a few other similar delays) Make the movie clips (startup video and…

description: Renegade bugs I've noticed over the years: *Stage Mapping WSEnvironment (4.X+ specific) - As previously reported "WS Environment" is no longer a useful reflect map emulation. *Movie Crash (4.X+ specific) - The previously reported crash that happens in single player when it goes to load a movie (might only happen if all movies are in the movie folder and no cd is present). *Dazzle Flash - Most Noticeable when lots of dazzles are in the screen, dazzles will cause a bright flash the second they fade out as you move away from them (only applies to dazzles with a HistoryWeight=0.99. *AI and Ladders - Some times the AI herp derps and gets stuck in the middle of a ladder, because there is no pathfind zone for a ladder they stay stuck on that ladder. *Vehicle Turret Facing (2.9.X+ specific) - Vehicle turrets don't face forward if not being controlled by AI or a player, instead they aim at 0,0,0 of the map. *I've got others that I'm forgetting about, and I've also noticed some odd performance bugs that seem to deal with post processing, but its the 4th and I'm going to get some fireworks shot off, you can expect more bugs eventually, I just need some time (really need to replay through single player as that's a great resource for bug collecting).

description: Ok, a whole bunch of stuff has just been back-ported to 4.2. User (and modder) visible changes in 4.2 so far (compared to 4.1): New fields under "Global Options - C&C Mode Settings" in LE to allow mods to have separate "GDI EVA" and "Nod EVA" sounds for low power (so GDI EVA for GDI power going down, GDI EVA for Nod power going down, Nod EVA for GDI power going down and Nod EVA for Nod power going down) Various memory leak fixes New "Default and Soldier only" collision group that collides only with "Default", "Soldier" and "Soldier Ghost" Small speedups in a few places Improvements to the way we detect GPUs Dynamic shadows will now affect dynamic objects Eliminate the "lag" you get when you start a game or return from the menu in single player or skirmish. Make Commands->Set_Is_Rendered work over the network for everything (and not just vehicles) if the other player has a compatible scripts build. Fix it so that Commands->Set_Radar_Blip_Color actually works across the network (Commands->Set_Radar_Blip_Shape already worked fine in 4.1, Commands->Set_Radar_Blip_Color would have worked except for a bug) Make it so that bandtest.dll no longer links to vfs.dll (it didn't actually use vfs.dll so there is no point having it link to it, the launcher does need vfs.dll though) Change it so that the engine start sound for vehicles will override the engine off sound. Restore brake lights to the stock Renegade behavior. Make the movie clips (startup video and mission videos) respect the value of the "cinematic" volume slider/checkbox in the audio config. An improvement to the dialog that reports d3dx9_43.dll is missing. Fix AI air unit strafing Fix ring and sphere primitives (fixes ion canon rings) Fix single player movie crash Bump version number to 4.2 Add FPS display to lsdview and w3dviewer Make lsdview restore last-used camera/window position on start Fix a crash that could occur with dazzles on shutdown A fix for JFW_Message_Send_Zone_Player Fixes to various scripts that h…

description: *AI Kills no longer count (4.x Bug) - Prior to 4.x kills by AI players (as well as deaths) counted toward the team (only applied to humans vehicles were not counted). *Vehicle weapon string not working for map strings - As previously reported, vehicle weapon strings aren't showing up, the fix was made in the 5.0 branch, but I don't know if we back ported it to 4.2. Improvement Request: Not only should AI Kills be counted toward the team, but the team should also gain score from them. In addition, any vehicle that is unoccupied should have its kills counted for the team (as well as score). This would be a points fix, currently if the obby, guard tower, or turrets kill someone no points are given to that team, not only does this cheat the team out of points, but if the unit is able to retreat before being killed the enemy team can repair the unit, thus giving them even more points, this is a definite exploit on any points victory game.

Sometimes it can be a pain to use stock Renegade camera profiles.. Yeah. This would be great. Also a global package list that loads for every map would be nice to have in the TT.cfg. I wrote a Perl script that auto generated a definition for every package in my ttfs for my tt.cfg. But it still leaves the issue where if someone sets the next Map to the full map name rather than the definition name, not all of the packages are loaded. This already exists for the objects file. Ideally it would have two different fields. One for packages loaded before the map specific packages and one that loads after the map specific packages.

description: Going through the bugs/requests from this thread: WSEnvironment should be fixable. Movie crash is fixed. Dazzle flash, I have no clue why this could be happening. We do have clones of all the dazzle code though so we should be able to investigate. AI and ladders I have no idea about unless the fix I made to PathActionClass solves it. Vehicle turret facing cant be fixed without removing the change that caused it in the first place (a change that was made for VERY good reasons). So no, a fix isn't likely to happen at this point. The "building destroyed" stuff is definatly on the todo list but it wont be the crappy way people keep suggesting (making it possible to flip the IsDestroyed flag from true to false over the network), it will be done properly. AI kill issue will be investigated, as will the vehicle weapon string thing (can someone remind me again exactly what the problem is?) Unsure about the kill improvement requests per-map cameras.ini files is difficult because of how (and where) the code reads cameras.ini. Global package list, not sure on that, would need to find out from StealthEye what to modify to make it happen. Just added a new server.ini keyword (at the behest of Danpaul88) that lets you disable logging to disk (renlog*.txt and bhs_renlog*.txt)

Additionally, maybe you could make the client display what keys it has bound, like in the spirit of the old "mapch" command - it might require a netcode change (which I can imagine you might not want to/can do) to send all of the Logical/Physical keys that are bound for a player, but I think it'd be greatly useful. However, if the Jerad's first request could be added, then this matters a lot less. Thanks for your work gentlemen And I'm brining this up again, as I'd really like to port my asteroids map to Renegade and the only thing holding it back is the inability to have all the clients have the needed keys. ---------------------------------------- The ability to set Hud Help Text on a client would be great for important instructions you want them to read, in ECW I can remotely set the color of the message as well as what player it appears on. I'd also like to report an old Renegade bug, if you force a vehicle to switch weapons with scripts, and the muzzle flash was happening during the moment …

description: In 4.1 or one of the 4.0 updates (don't know when it was broken) the stock mesh on the obelisk is messed up so that fog no longer applies to it. On the map metroTS its very obvious. Heres an older video I found where its applied correctly. http://youtu.be/-GWwXeFb_nA?t=21m43s This is how it looks on the latest 4.1 builds. The fog doesn't apply to the dark grey/black part. Looks even worse on many other maps. This occurs on all the stock maps, and most custom maps except those that use a custom obelisk model.

[KH]LordOfDeath, if its something else you are requesting, please provide more details. Its possible that the Hotwire issue is fixed by a change we already made/back-ported, we will need to run tests on single player to look for issues. Single player issues will be looked at, we need to run testing in single player with the current 4.2 internal build and find the bugs that exist so we can fix em. AI soldier kills/deaths not counting to the team kills/deaths ratio is a bug so (unless we discover the change was made for a valid reason) it will be fixed. Vehicle weapon thing from that thread is fixed in 4.2 The WSEnvironment test map I have seems to be working in the latest 4.2 internal build so something I back-ported seems to have sorted it out (Jerad, feel free to let me know if its still broken) Not sure what to do about the keys.cfg stuff but I can see that its something people want. We have a Set_HUD_Help_Text_Player engine call in 5.0 but due to some issues with exactly which code we own in 4.2 (and some other things) I dont want to back-port it to 4.2 (meaning that particular feature will NOT be hitting 4.2) Muzzle flash issue will be looked into. We have a feature in 5.0 for shell casing ejection velocity and yes, one for bullet speed stuff but again, there are some issues in the way of back-porting it to 4.2 so those features wont make it either. (and no doing it with a simple checkbox to override the speed check isn't going to happen either) The obelisk fix should have been sorted (per the post from Saberhawk), if its not, its something we need to investigate. Tile animation twitching is probably something we can investigate. The most likely guess for the texture glitching is that you have graphics detail set to something other than max, that's what usually causes things l…

Yeah, that circle primitive should be appear from the object destroyed not my character, it happens really bad with sam sites as well (yellow in that case). But I could have swore it doesn't happen if you get really close to them, or maybe you just have to look away and it doesn't happen.

A good map to test it on is metrots. To test the hummvee thing, basints is a good map as well. No obelisk on that map though. It is in fact visible on the stock maps as well as even they use a slight fog although much less dense than the ones used in some custom maps.

I have noticed some bugs with the wide screen resolutions, I'm not going to report them as bugs, just make mention of them as its possible that not enough people care about it to have it fixed. *When using a wide screen resolution, if you press the camera up against a wall the left and right sides of the camera can clip the wall camera collisions allowing you to see into world space. *Vis was generated with standard field of view, thus lots of vis bugs show themselves while playing single player as its easy to get the camera at angles the auto generated vis didn't account for.

Would help with having custom cameras for new units.. Sometimes it can be a pain to use stock Renegade camera profiles.. Yeah. This would be great. Also a global package list that loads for every map would be nice to have in the TT.cfg. I wrote a Perl script that auto generated a definition for every package in my ttfs for my tt.cfg. But it still leaves the issue where if someone sets the next Map to the full map name rather than the definition name, not all of the packages are loaded. This already exists for the objects file. Ideally it would have two different fields. One for packages loaded before the map specific packages and one that loads after the map specific packages. I'm lead developer for the RenDeploy project and am making every effort possible to keep this project on the main server and would greatly benefit from having the camera.ini and keys.cfg files (and others would be useful) to be automatically incorporated into client side downloads. Please make every effort to include at least these in the next update! Thanks.

When I got off the ladder it did that shit where you end up being de-synced from the server, I can't remember how it showed itself, but basically I had to hold back and spam e until my solder managed to land on the ladder again, and then I was able to climb back down and off the ladder and then it all cleared up. In stock Ren you can pass through infantry on a ladder, and I assume you can also pass through infantry standing right in the transition zone of a ladder.

We just need to figure out how best to store the link between maps and .pkg files and where the right place to put the "Set_Mod_Package" call it so we dont break the existing functionality (backwards compatibility is very much a TT priority)

If you don't have the package in your data folder you just see the map name listed on Westwood on-line, but for some reason if you do have the package name it lists it as package/map... its odd.

When the map was originally mad it was done with a .mix (this was probably in 2007) Canadacdn kept working on it until 2009, during which time the temps started going corrupt, so we were forced to move to a package so we could continue working on the map (added a good 50 non temp presets probably by now, but it was the only possible course beings le like to either crash every time we added a temp, or just not persist any new temps added to temps20.ddb).

Also would it be possible to make a clone of the stock PT UI that enables the ability to add and remove purchase items like the sidebar. I like the possibilities the sidebar brings but it simply doesn't show enough items at once. Even a fullscreen version of the sidebar with two rows that scrolls sideways with more icons would be an improvement.

description: Obey is fogging in 4.2: I opened the file in w3dViewer and the obelisk tower is definitely fogging faster than the logo, or the logo is having fog issues. The logo is two passes with the second pass being alpha blend, first is opaque.

description: You definatly cant use cameras.ini in a .pkg, its loaded once at startup and never loaded again. Don't know about armor.ini. In any case, given what you can do with TT packages, there is no real reason to solve the problem for .pkg files but instead to fix cases where you can use a file in a .pkg file but not in a TT package.

description: Not possible to change the empty-tanks-face-0 thing so stop asking about it For low power costs/time penalty we will have a way to change them per-map via the per-map tt.ini. No we wont have a way to change them for a server or anything, just through the tt.ini stuff. No the sidebar and PT stuff isn't going to change so stop asking about it Fog is still being investigated.

There is already space for it and it would be a giant improvement since the infantry row only has three slots right now since the refill one takes up a spot. Also 10 slots makes sense since there are 10 numbers on the number row as well. New Old

LOL You said the same thing about building revival and guess what it changed because enough people pushed for it. I can't see a single downside to adding a 5th row to the sidebar.

description: ok, fog should now be fixed. Also its now possible to use keywords CostMultiplier and BuildTimeDelay in the per-map tt.ini, they will affect the low power penalties (cost and time)

The single downside is that you're asking someone that works on our beloved game in his VOLUNTEER, UNPAID free time to add something that's arguably pretty freaking pointless. And when I say "arguably pretty freaking pointless," I mean that the sidebar works fine - you're just complaining about an aesthetic issue that would take a fair amount of effort to adjust. Yeah, maybe you're right, maybe the sidebar does need a fifth row - but where were you like four years ago when the sidebar was a thing? I'm like 99% positive the sidebar was introduced with one of the 3.x.x versions, and we're well beyond that now. Just take what you've got and work with it! Let's try to stick to getting outstanding bugs fixed rather than adding more "functionality" for the benefit of a very few.

description: Who should I contact to submit code for 4.2. I made a fixed version of the agtfix and obelfix scripts that works with any facing rather than only the default 0 facing as it does right now. This is particularly useful for the AGT where the guns aren't lined up properly on anything but the default 0 facing. Heres a screenshot of it in action.

This is particularly useful for the AGT where the guns aren't lined up properly on anything but the default 0 facing. Was this something recent that broke? Because I'm 99% sure that it worked fine in 3.4.4 (the building controller just had to be rotated to face the same as the tower).
