| Summary | 0001959: 2d/3d shockwave detection code not working properly | ||||
| Description | This was introduced after there was a decision to go back to 2D shockwave by the FSU team. As far as I understand it: 2D shockwave became mandatory, while 3D shockwave can still be enabled via launcher. Now, this breaks existing TCs, that rely only on the 3D shockwave. I believe chief submitted a fix, that would on startup check if 2D shockwace is present and, if none is detected, default to 3D shockwave. Me *thinks* that the fix worked. At the moment, however, it is not getting its job done as the game would crash on startup, complaining about missing data. | ||||

I take this one back. fs2_open_3_6_11r-20090706_r5411.exe works perfectly. It did not work in earlier revisions though. Maybe I am just getting senile. |

Okay ,I take it back. It still doesn't work. I was under the impression that the game crashed on startup, which is why I did not investigate further. It crashes on mission load with the following error message: Error: Unable to load 2D shockwave 'shockwave01'! File: shockwave.cpp Line: 510 Call stack: ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------ |

This shockwave code doesn't even work the way the person who originally wrote it intended for it to work. It checks a return value for a function that will never be hit because the call to ERROR prevents that. Disabling the call to ERROR causes a later Assert to be hit no matter what, as soon as it tries to load a file that doesn't exist. And checking to see if the 2d shockwave file exists doesn't appear to work either unless I'm doing it wrong, but I can't see how. Frustrated... |

Tried another attempt at fixing this now. Should be fixed in r5432. Nightly build will be out sometime tomorrow. |

Seems to be fixed now. |
