Title: oa085rc1 Post by: fromhell on November 05, 2009, 03:53:05 PM Test, and rip my lungs out for being an amnesiac.
http://openarena.ws/rel/085/oa085rc1.zip - Win32 and Linux binaries included - Not committed to the SVN yet, it's all RC stuff - Sources? Available in this forum. Will be SVNed too - I don't have TortoiseSVN installed at this time. - IT ISN'T A RELEASE so don't tell the whole neighborhood. - Cosmo's stuff is in this. Title: Re: oa085rc1 ** NEW PATCH RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 ** TEST PLEASE ** Post by: Neon_Knight on November 05, 2009, 04:16:07 PM Downloading. ^^
What about gathering more people to test it, through mass mail and links to this thread? May be a good idea to spread even more the word, so many more people will test it, it's a RC after all. This thread needs some linkage as well. I'll update the wiki links to map threads when I check the maps included in this version. Title: Re: oa085rc1 ** NEW PATCH RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 ** TEST PLEASE ** Post by: sago007 on November 05, 2009, 04:24:21 PM I am currently recompiling the engine with the new icons...
I shall provide a vm with 0.8.5 printed in the corner too... There is some small background problems in the submenu in some small mods... possible because I failed to rename the blueish background shader Title: Re: oa085rc1 ** NEW PATCH RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 ** TEST PLEASE ** Post by: Neon_Knight on November 05, 2009, 04:44:14 PM I'll provide a mirror to this one. That should help to gather more people.

The date is wrong in RELEASECANDIDATE.txt but I guess that file won't make it in the final release anyway. The engine should have vorbis build in... at least it required them during compilation and the patch used is the same as last time. I have not used new versions of ogg or vorbis and that is the reason I have not provided new ones on my packages. I will make a light version of the source package like last time... Title: Re: oa085rc1 ** NEW PATCH RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 ** TEST PLEASE ** Post by: Udi on November 05, 2009, 05:23:03 PM As I see the cg_oldRail 0 is the default now. What about cg_oldPlasma and cg_oldRocket?
Title: Re: oa085rc1 ** NEW PATCH RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 ** TEST PLEASE ** Post by: sago007 on November 05, 2009, 05:49:10 PM As I see the cg_oldRail 0 is the default now. What about cg_oldPlasma and cg_oldRocket? I forgot I changed it.My reasoning: I cannot not see the difference with cg_oldRocket and cg_oldPlasma=0 seems unfinished to me. The new rail on the other hand just put the old rail to shame. Plus color2 can now be changed in the menu and it made no sense if old rail was used. Title: Re: oa085rc1 ** NEW PATCH RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 ** TEST PLEASE ** Post by: Udi on November 05, 2009, 05:53:27 PM I cannot not see the difference with cg_oldRocket and cg_oldPlasma=0 seems unfinished to me. As far as I can see the old and new rocket difference lies in the splash effect. The old rocket uses a simple 2d splash animation while the new one is more 3d like and it has a particle effect on the top. I think it's prettier, and sometimes when the old rocket splash hits a wall there's a yellow rectangle visible for a frame. Wanted to investigate on that, but got no time for it :(. But something other: in oanew.shader the console shader needs a nopicmip command so the logo in the console always looks smooth. Could a native english speaker create a screencast about the new features of the patch? There are some hidden gems like the cg_weaponBarStyle command. Title: Re: oa085rc1 ** NEW PATCH RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 ** TEST PLEASE ** Post by: Udi on November 05, 2009, 05:59:43 PM Whoops, the game just crashed as I finished tier1. I attach my crashlog.txt, and here are the last lines which maybe interesting:
Code: Kyonshi^7 almost dodged Udi^7's rocket Update: at the next try I could finish the tier, so it's not an always occuring bug I guess. Title: Re: oa085rc1 ** NEW PATCH RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 ** TEST PLEASE ** Post by: Falkland on November 05, 2009, 06:00:43 PM Still missing some fixes/commits :

Title: Re: oa085rc1 ** NEW PATCH RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 ** TEST PLEASE ** Post by: sago007 on November 05, 2009, 06:14:08 PM Anyway IMHO , it's better bumping to the latest ioquake3 revision and then appling the oa diff instead of applying single ioquake3 commits. I would usually agree but it has proven a great way of introducing last minute bugs in the past (learned from experience). This can obviously be solved with weeks of testing but then even more changes has happened in ioquake3 and so we need another two weeks of testing and so on... the changes needs to be introduced while not under stress.About CVAR_CHEAT. Half the players will properly run with the 0.8.1 engine that still works and therefore the CVAR_CHEAT would only apply to half the players...

This can obviously be solved with weeks of testing but then even more changes has happened in ioquake3 and so we need another two weeks of testing and so on... the changes needs to be introduced while not under stress. Actually I have Q3 , UrT and OA engines updated to the latest ioquake3 engine revision + other patches ( which I've tracked starting by this post : http://openarena.ws/board/index.php?topic=1933.msg25672#msg25672 ) and they all work as a charm : the very latest fixes are not only quick but have also more quality than past fixes. Anyway I don't want to force to the "latest one party" , so I will continue to track and experiment by myself :-) About CVAR_CHEAT. Half the players will properly run with the 0.8.1 engine that still works and therefore the CVAR_CHEAT would only apply to half the players... Ok ... but all the new players will realize that scripts are completely unuseful :-) Anyway if this change could be introduced in a future release post 085 with a control in the server code to force old clients to the default value ( like it actually does with snaps , actually locked to a max of 30 ) , the change will be effective for all the players :-) Title: Re: oa085rc1 ** NEW PATCH RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 ** TEST PLEASE ** Post by: sago007 on November 05, 2009, 06:48:02 PM Whoops, the game just crashed as I finished tier1.

RC1 for Mac OS X (http://www.jazzmobile.it/jackoverfull/games/openarena/OpenArena-0.8.5rc1.zip). Should work on PPC and intel, 10.3.9 or more recent (will test only on 10.4.10 and more recent), it is mostly untested now, you'll need the pak6-patch085.pk3 from the windows/linux version. Title: Re: oa085rc1 ** NEW PATCH RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 ** TEST PLEASE ** Post by: sago007 on November 06, 2009, 11:17:02 AM I have noted some openAL errors: "WARNING: unhandled AL error: Invalid value" but cannot see why it occurs... might just be my system and might be caused by conflicting programs.
Title: Re: oa085rc1 ** NEW PATCH RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 ** TEST PLEASE ** Post by: cosmo on November 06, 2009, 11:54:24 AM thanks jackoverfull, binaries run fine on powerbook.
Problem: oa_minia still suffers from shaderbug and no sky is visible when r_detailtextures is 0. Title: Re: oa085rc1 ** NEW PATCH RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 ** TEST PLEASE ** Post by: Falkland on November 06, 2009, 11:57:52 AM I have noted some openAL errors: "WARNING: unhandled AL error: Invalid value" but cannot see why it occurs... might just be my system and might be caused by conflicting programs. It's an OpenAl problem : they started for me since I've upgraded from libopenal0 to libopenal1 on SID , maybe a year ago. Anyway I don't run the client over SID anymore , but it seems that the very latest openal version uploaded on SID ( http://packages.debian.org/unstable/libopenal1 which is not the "official" OpenAL version -> http://kcat.strangesoft.net/openal.html ) has solved those issue. But personally I don't compile my client with OpenAL support anymore. Title: Re: oa085rc1 ** NEW PATCH RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 ** TEST PLEASE ** Post by: Neon_Knight on November 06, 2009, 12:00:45 PM thanks jackoverfull, binaries run fine on powerbook. It's this (http://openarena.ws/board/index.php?topic=1945.msg27843#msg27843) problem of the shader. It was there since before 0.8.1 and happens on other maps as well, like hydronex (both versions) oa_rpg3dm1 and older versions of oa_minia.Problem: oa_minia still suffers from shaderbug and no sky is visible when r_detailtextures is 0. @jackoverfull: The blue menu is a new menu. No bugs, except for the bot screen. Title: Re: oa085rc1 ** NEW PATCH RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 ** TEST PLEASE ** Post by: Graion Dilach on November 06, 2009, 03:28:17 PM Tested on a fresh 0.8.1 reinstall to prevent problems with my pk3-collection. First impressions: great.
Minor bug left from 0.8.1: - Jenna is available from the bot selection screen with Ayumi's icon, but with Sarge's default model. Title: Re: oa085rc1 ** NEW PATCH RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 ** TEST PLEASE ** Post by: Neon_Knight on November 06, 2009, 03:32:59 PM That's because there's no model/skin for ayumi/jenna, it was left after 0.8.0 I guess.
Title: Re: oa085rc1 ** NEW PATCH RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 ** TEST PLEASE ** Post by: Graion Dilach on November 06, 2009, 03:41:08 PM With a simple skin ayumi/red command, it wouldn't be that noticeable. Oh well, I've always ripped out Jenna/Nekoyumi from OA 0.7.6.
Another thing: What happened with dm4ish? EDIT: Forget it... I realized that Neon Knight's SP campaign made it selectable through the menu. EDIT2: I also forgot mentioning that the new health-colored crosshair is a nice and useful addition... where was this firstly announced? EDIT3: The waving banners on Mini Arena have the old logo. (Yes, I know this looks weird) Title: Re: oa085rc1 ** NEW PATCH RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 ** TEST PLEASE ** Post by: sago007 on November 06, 2009, 06:27:38 PM EDIT2: I also forgot mentioning that the new health-colored crosshair is a nice and useful addition... where was this firstly announced?

There is a problem with the grapple and the new weapon bars that I am looking into. EDIT: And all clients are dropped if an invulnerable player is attacked by LG or mines.

This is a quick fix as it just a missing event on the client side. There's another bug related to this : it seems that a player carring LG + INV is actually kicked ... I say " it seems " because I didn't spot this bug ... it seems that Nemesis has downgraded from OAXB43 or 44 to OA081 baseoa for this reason , but none of the Nemesis has reported it.

Title: Re: oa085rc1 ** NEW PATCH RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 ** TEST PLEASE ** Post by: sago007 on November 07, 2009, 08:49:49 AM This was fixed in ioquake3 rev 1726 -> http://svn.icculus.org/quake3?view=rev&revision=1726 Not the same bug... ioquake3 revision 1726 fixes the bug that was fixed in oaxB35. Because the spawn select function starts by excluding some spawnpoints and thereby it risks removing all valid spawnpoints and going in an infity loop trying to find a valid spawn point among the rest. This is a rare bug because nohuman or nobot is mainly meant for the training map (I discovered the bug while trying to create a training map for OA).The bug cosmo refers to (i believe) is if the map has no valid spawnpoints at all. In this case the server has no choice but to shut itself down. This is one of the reasons all CTF map always has one info_player_start in the middle with no gametype flags, nosingle and noteam set at all. I have not had any problems just carrying the LG and INV but it sounds related...

There should be soundfiles having the announcer counting 1, 2, 3. Would be great to hear him saying this in DD when the final 3 secs run out and let him say "Blue team has taken the lead, teams are tied, Red team has taken the lead." Title: Re: oa085rc1 ** NEW PATCH RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 ** TEST PLEASE ** Post by: Graion Dilach on November 08, 2009, 05:25:21 PM Thanks about toggleconsole, I've found it. Interestingly, it was on ~... which makes me think that the engine ignores the local settings of the keyboard. And it actually proved himself because I've changed it and after a test run, toggleconsole disappeared from the config... which still opens if I push my 0.
I think this problem is hardware-problem. Maybe the only place where Quake 3 checks the native keyboard design is text fields. On the other uses, it may use directly the hardware's input code... this method could ignore easily the fact that my keyboard has 0 at '~'-slot... damn. Oh well, I consider this as an engine flaw... I'll put this to ioquake. Title: Re: oa085rc1 ** NEW PATCH RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 ** TEST PLEASE ** Post by: andrewj on November 08, 2009, 07:05:46 PM Thanks about toggleconsole, I've found it.

However 125 Hz physic is not. pmove_fixed is not without bugs... specifically it has a tendency to drop sounds if physics are calculated more often than the screen. pmove_float is also available that gives a fluid experience for all players but is disabled by default because it might result in extra bandwidth usage.

If you have ever read the article http://ucguides.savagehelp.com/Quake3/FAQFPSJumps.html pmove_float is the first graph. I don't know how bad it will effect the bandwith usage and I hope that it will be fully tested in time for 0.9.0 so we know if it is ok to enable by default. Based on knowledge from other mods having implemented this it will cost around 2 kb/s (per client?) but theoretically it can be a lot more because the packet compression gets worse. For LAN play pmove_float is superior (fair and does not have abnormal effects) although you will need to tweak g_speed and g_gravity to get 125 fps physics if that is important. pmove_float jumps are shorter than 125 Hz jumps but longer than 91 Hz jumps.

Please do so...I can let you know then for certain what the actual error message means->because unless I created a typo in the code, this one is as bug-free as it can get.<-Now that doesn't mean it can't throw errors, just that it's behavior is completely known. bot_minplayers 50 Me-thinks this is an error with com_zoneMegs...UP IT Add +set com_zoneMegs 64 to your command line. Be sure to substantially increase com_hunkMegs as well. I typically use the command line openarena.exe +set com_zoneMegs 128 +set com_hunkMegs 512. If that doesn't work...It's due to the disgusting amount of bots you put on your server/in your match. Z_Malloc stuff is in the engine. This is the second crash of this kind I've seen floating around the forums. The other one dealt with G_Alloc, which I believe we have replaced with BG_Alloc inside the "GAME" code, upped the amount of memory available to be allocated, and fool proofed that function with another BG_CanAlloc. TO BE HONEST: 50 bots is kind of absurd...but if people really do want to have an extreme bot-slaughter like server...if theres enough of ya'll out there, I'm sure Us devs can make it happen at SOME POINT... and if there AREN'T enough of you that want to commit AI genocide....

Had a look at the stderr.txt but there doesn't seem to be anything that would indicate why it's crashing. It all woks fine under 0.81. I'm running the windows32 version on Windows XP SP3+updates. Cheers. Phill. Title: Re: oa085rc1 ** NEW PATCH RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 ** TEST PLEASE ** Post by: Graion Dilach on February 11, 2010, 11:29:16 AM Tested with 0.8.5 vs. XP SP2. No crashing, but I don't think Windows causes the problem.
IMO, UIE was good in the 0.7 times, but since the addition of Missionpack, UIE can't handle OpenArena efficiently. The only feature of UIE I would use is it's model-choosing menu, where the models and skins are differentiated. Because I used up all the pages and even the default OA models aren't on the list.

SERVER side tell. Not sent from a player to another player. Sent from the server console to a client. Quote ]tell unknown command: tell ]!tell unknown command: !tell ]/tell unknown command: /tell And hey chaoticsoldier, Yeh I remember playing with you back then. EH also had a OA server up back then as well at some point but that ended up being shutdown. EH (EternalHavoc.net) Is mainly a Urban Terror clan but a few of us have been playing OA recently for a little fun.

pul1duel (http://openarena.ws/board/index.php?topic=3088.0) was finished more than 7 months ago and posted in the commit thread back then (http://openarena.ws/board/index.php?topic=1945.msg25822#msg25822). i think it's a shame that it hasn't been added to the test release since people all over complain about the lack of maps. the complete pul1duel-oa.pk3 is a whopping 3mb!

Well I tend to use it for launching bot matches, I like the way you can set the skills of the bots, random set of levels etc. If there's an alternate launcher / mod that would do this, feel free to sugest and I'll give it a go. In the mean time I attempted to re-copy the 0.81 release back into my OA folder and seem to have ended up with a half and half mix, UIE works, but I get the new fonts in the game and some things seem to have changed. Also if I fire up the un-modded OA I get the new blue background, so I suspect I have the 0.81 exe and the 0.85 pk3/game logic. Incidentally I'm not sure if this is part of the 0.85 update, but you now seem to get credited with a kill if you knock someone and make them fall to their death, which I don't remember happening before. Also you don't seem to be able to get a -ve score for example by falling in the slime/lava with a 0 score. Cheers. Phill.

Yes, that's part of it, but you can switch it off with the /g_awardpushing command. The negative score was also removed, I don't remember if there's a command for switch it back on.

Title: Re: oa085rc1 ** NEW PATCH RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 ** TEST PLEASE ** Post by: sago007 on February 16, 2010, 04:03:26 PM What do you think about negative score for teamkilling?. Negative scores are only disabled in FFA-mode. However leaving and rejoining the team will reset the score to zero like always. Pushing players over the side does not register as a team kill even with g_awardpushing on to prevent misunderstandings and pointless framing. In 0.8.5 the message for teamkill has been changed so it no longer appears as a good thing (previously killing a teammate would show an ordinary kill message "You killed Sago007", now shows as "You killed ^6TEAMMATE^7 Sago007").Title: Re: oa085rc1 ** NEW PATCH RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 ** TEST PLEASE ** Post by: Virus on February 17, 2010, 04:11:00 AM Before anything else, a big compliment: I tried a lot of free shooters before (Alien Arena, Nexuiz, Warsow), but OpenArena has simply the biggest fun factor.
I don't know if it has been mentioned before (quick search gave no results), but I realized a problem when playing a single player "Skirmish" Overload match with Bots: The bots defend their base or attack the enemies base, but they don't shoot the obelisks, no matter how easy it would be. I tried using different difficulty settings, but the behaviour is still the same: For example: I added 6 bots to my team and only two bots as enemy team. I gave team orders to attack the enemy base and stayed at the base and went into "spectator"-mode. My team went into the enemy base without problems (6 against 2, sure...), and they just stood there and waited for the enemies to come, never shooting at the obelisk. This behaviour is in 0.8.1 and also in the 0.8.5 RC1. Any chance that the bots could be improved or is this too complicated? Title: Re: oa085rc1 ** NEW PATCH RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 ** TEST PLEASE ** Post by: sago007 on February 17, 2010, 10:22:24 AM This behaviour is in 0.8.1 and also in the 0.8.5 RC1. Any chance that the bots could be improved or is this too complicated? The code is there somewhere... so it should be possible. Title: Re: oa085rc1 ** NEW PATCH RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 ** TEST PLEASE ** Post by: Haverford on February 17, 2010, 11:42:42 AM It should, but it doesn't - I have the same problem.
It's unfortunate, since Overload could be loads of fun if there was a lot of competition. Perhaps there just needs to be server somewhere running that gametype. The obelisk is a map object, correct? Perhaps if it was something different (ie the bots saw it as an "enemy") they'd shoot at it. Title: Re: oa085rc1 ** NEW PATCH RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 ** TEST PLEASE ** Post by: davidd on February 21, 2010, 05:17:05 AM Some people on my ctf complained about the following feature:
I have autojoin turned on, to lessen the hurdle for noobs in enjoying openarena. But autojoin looks at the score of the teams to decide which team to add the connecting player to, instead of the number of humans on the team. Sometimes it gets as crazy as this example: 1 v 1 , one of the teams score, so it becomes 1-0 2-0 3-0 next people start joining, but they wont instantly make the score balanced. before the team has gained the lead, in the blink of an eye it can become 1 vs 5 players Also, it would be nice to have some cvar that makes teams rebalance after people disconnected. Could i make all these in a serverside only mod? Grtz DD Title: Re: oa085rc1 Post by: P . Scimmia on February 28, 2010, 01:46:08 PM you could also implement this

Title: Re: oa085rc1 Post by: fromhell on March 01, 2010, 07:55:30 AM you could also implement this I wouldn't, for these reasons:- Old logo style is old - Too much stereotypical "Crystal" glossy look that's common to find anywhere involving free software. Looking crystal is the last thing i'd want to do - Mimics Q3 too much, especially with the goat demon skull - Inappropriate license (Creative Commons) Title: Re: oa085rc1 Post by: P .
