Ta3d 0.5.0. Test 10 bugs

[Balthazar]

Well, first of all - my Best Regards for your work, Zuzuf! Test 10 is the best of all builds I`ve ever seen. For me it is absolutely crashless (with full set of resources). It`s a huge archievment, since I`ve almost always experienced random crashes, now they seems to go somewhere far

But there is a bad part of it. Since stability and speed now is more likely to be archieved, I`ll be as angry as I could.

Let`s begin:

1. Screenshots/logs storing path.
Move at last those fucking folders in /ta3d/ folder like Doors did!!!! I wanna kill the man, who move them into /Documents and Settings/. BURN IT WITH THE FIRE!!! It`s a really pain in the ass to look for them each time!!!

Also - Ta3D should check the last screenshot number, since each game numeration begins from the start. If i don`t save captured screenshots into separate folder - they`ll be overwrited!!!! It`s a hella uncomfortable, especially if you shoould look for them in folder with "invisible" attribute.

2. I`ve got a strange unit texturing bug. All objects looks nice, except of units.

I`ll post them here so you could see how it is looks like. Different resolution/color depth doesn`t fix it, different maps doesn`t fix it.

I`ll send several connected screenshots to you right now.




But, anyway! It`s AWESOME!!! I`ll gladly play without textures at all!!!

[zuzuf]

this is a bug due to textures not being loaded at all for some objects ...
I probably introduced this bug while improving loading speed.

[Balthazar]

The problem that they`ve got textures. They just become crippled if I move camera far from the object (see the screenshots I`ve send you)

[zuzuf]

this must be a mipmap generation problem, the texture loader is still guilty.

[Balthazar]

Well, you are the boss Texture loader should be punished.

Also - include in packages latest version of ta3d.org/help/ section. I`m making updates sometimes

[zuzuf]

well, send me an archive with the update and I'll upload it (if I don't see something in my mails I often forget about it). Maybe we should give you an SVN account so you can maintain documentation with it ?

Just wanted to let you know that I have uploaded my compiles.

There on my site.

Enjoy.

zuzuf - I`ve got SVN account and I`m uploading /help/ section on server. You can just grab contain of http://ta3d.darkstars.co.uk/help/ and include it in the packages (I`ve uploaded new version two days ago).

Also, when bug with texture display could be fixed? Since it is a sad one for players


Doors - many thanks! I`ve updated tauniverse post with your binaries!

[zuzuf]

I'll probably be back home for Friday before my vacations (1 week in St Petersburg with ). So I think I'll have time to fix (or at least improve things).

[Balthazar]

Patch is still needed Is there an Internet in St Petersburg? And is that in USA or in Russia?

[zuzuf]

in Russia

and I won't have Internet access and even if I do I won't have a computer with the required tools to fix anything.

[Balthazar]

Nice And what will you do there?
