A big problem...

[Edward]

Hi!
I've modified Force Seeing so that all surfaces will become Green Code from the matrix. Now, if a surface has a COG associated to it, it would become Gold Code, and I found it a little... little... If you are the one in the Matrix, I thought, you should be able to see any object with a COG attached to it, so... I edited some, and did so that sectors with a COG attached would get something created in the middle, and objects with a COG would flicker between Render Texture and Render Solid Colors. But, when ever I deactivate the Force, the game crashes... Could someone help me out!

Not only that, but in MP, at startup the textures aren't stored in the heap. All surfaces get one texture.

Does heap even work in MP?

The last line should actually be:



if(!IsInvActivated(player, 23))


It was checking to see if the IR Goggles are on, but earlier in activated you checked bin 23. They need to match up.

Actually I see nothing wrong there... If I do what you ask me to do, then if I have Force seeing on AND the IR Goggles on, then when I turn off Force Seeing, the IR Goggles will also turn off but my batteries will disappear. And I think that would most definetly do something wierd to the code... I swear, I haven't touched that from the original Force Seeing COG. Check that line between my COG and the Original and you'll see that all is well...

/Edward

[Edward]

OK, update... On SOME levels does the COG crash the game. And those levels where it doesn't crash, it does... It just seems to sneak up on me and BANG! And also, as you can see in the pulse, I test to see if the player is totally imobile, and stops the power. At some point, while watching a cut-scene, the part about giving the objects back their texture if taken away didn't seem to work... Did I miss something?

/Edward

[darthslaw]

No, Tazz, that's not correct -- bin 41 is the IRGogs, and bin 23 is FSeeing. In the Activated message, it was checking if FSeeing was on, not the Goggles.

DM doesn't say Heap won't work in MP... hmm...

[nevermind this removed part]

[edit]Parsec sez:
"Prolly not a good idea to use 'code.mat'" -- dunno why, but try changing that texture to maybe 'code1.mat' or something
"remove the semicolon succeeding initial value for symbol 'zzzz' on line 44"
"symbol yy was not used in code sction"
"add symbol 'thing tt local' to symbols section"

Fix these and it works fine -- I tested. Except it doesn't do the mats right in MP http://forums.massassi.net/html/confused.gif -- they all get set to a green solid mat on startup; they change to the right mats when the power is activated, but I dunno why it isn't starting up right...

Perhaps try adding the local/unsynced flags to the beginning. (I don't see why you'd want it to do this for everyone anyways...)

That'd be
flags=0x240
just before symbols section.

Thanks! That made a difference. Now, could someone tell me, how do I test for ghost objects? I was thinking of revealing the ghost objects with a COG attached to them the same way I'd reveal a sector with a COG attached to it.
