I just downloaded it and ran a quick test of the level that I was going to use for the competition and it seems to have resolved the issue I had. I can now walk past x = 490. Yippy! Lol, I haven't actually even touched that map in a couple months so it may just be my imagination, but I think it actually looks better! This is just a first impression, playing for a total of less than a minute. I did notice my personal scripts didn't work but realize there was some change to the scripting in 1.0071. I will play with that later. Good job, guys!

@Jerry Tremble.



Scripts will now only work if attached to dynamic objects, and change needed for a number of reasons. That could well be the cause of any scripting issues, and something I suggest you check first.

Anyone else having trouble downloading V1.008? I keep getting the page not found:



The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.



I'll keep trying though.

@MadLad Designs and @Everyone.



The server was very, very busy when we first launched. It should have settled down a little now, but of course, please let us know if there are any problems.

For future reference, you can access this from Reloaded via Help/About this Beta.

In addition to this list, there are hundreds of tweaks, too numerous to list, but that all to the overall build.

Thanks for the report. I'll make sure the development team sees this. I'll be monitoring this thread and the V1.008 bug thread closely this week, so nothing is missed.

Well, from a quick few tests, this version is not good for my setup. My Compo level still crashes after a short while with the now very familiar back screen. I get massive slowdown with anything more than 2 AI attacking me when scenes are fairly busy. It can drop from 20 odd to 9 in the space of a second.

The old stutter issue seems to be back. Even on a fresh map with 1 building and getting 80+ fps, walking around it you distinctly notice it judders. The sound when both walking and running seems a little too fast as well.

The new contrast and brightness shader's are awkward to use for me. I set it so it looks okay, then when I turn around, nope it looks wrong, set that and again turn around the same issue. I will re-watch the video on it and see if I am missing something obvious.

All in all, not my favourite release so far. Despite the new models, which although re-skinned still seem very samey. I think some sort of variation of the anims may help a little, and their scale also. Everyone in this world appear to be the same height. I like the rocket man as at least he is different, having a very different style due to his weapon.

RPG and Rocket man aside, these bugs that are creeping in need squashing.

Please post as much detail about any issues you're having in the bugs forums, and of course, feel free to discuss anything relevant with me. We are obviously concerned with loss of performance for any user.

Is it possible to turn off the encryption, perhaps with a setting in config file? I only ask because in version 71 I could have static entities with multiple textures working in standalone as long as I manually copied across the textures. Now of course I cannot just copy across the misiing textures as the standalone will not find them.

This would be good for me as I have a lot of arteria and dexsoft models, most of which have multiple textures per model, which I would love to use in reloaded and have been able up until now. After all they work fine in the editor, collison and all, so I don't see why they can't be made to work in a standalone game.

Here's hoping .....

The new music script doesn't seem to be working for me. I keep getting the error message "no function called music_main" whenever I try to put it on a zone. On a different note, very nice improvements. It looks like the gates of heaven opened up on my level with all the sun rays and saturation!

mguy1122: I think the music script should not be put in a trigger zone. I found this in the DOCS:

The music system currently supports 4 different music tracks which are preloaded at the start of the level. These are specified in scriptbank/music.lua. You will notice a bunch of constant definitions at the top of the script which you need to edit. Music.lua is a global script, initialised at the start of the game and should not be used as the script for a trigger zone or entity.

look under: MUSIC SYSTEM docs

Thank you for the tip morphtactic, I will have to look into that. Although that raises another question, do we use trigger zones to tell it when the change the music? I guess I'll have to look it over before I assume anything. Thanks again

All around I think this release is by far the best. I'm not really thrilled with the contrast/brightness sliders and the objects look a bit strange on the opposite side the sun is striking them from. They seem a bit dark, especially since the terrain behind them doesn't also have any darkening.



Aside from that, I love all the new scripting commands, some bugs I was experiencing are gone, and things are generally much better overall.



I especially like the new picking system. Items are much easier to select and can even been selected inside buildings without having to drill down and use the tab feature. That was unexpected.



I still don't like that when you select an object it automatically drops down to the terrain. If I just want to grab an object and adjust its position a little bit then you lose the original position altogether and have to start all over. I am also seeing a few crash issues occasionally that were never there before, but not quite frequent enough to be show stoppers.

The FPS drop is a pity but I have tested my game "Research Station" it looks great.

It is a game with an Artic landscape so it is bit to bright , the new characters and weapons are super.

I seem to be having a few issues with this build. The entities appear to be too saturated and 'bleached out' looking - as if the bloom slider is at 100 even though it's at zero. Entities have also lost the ability to cast shadows onto the ground even when the shadow slider is at 100 and the terrain shader is at the highest setting. Please see attached screenshot. Anyone else having these issues?

But, worst of all, I'm now only getting 17 - 22 fps with nothing in my level but 2 walls :-(

Slainte!

It seems to me to be a drastic slow down for frame rates. Get to the river went from 55-60, down to 20-30. (still playable though, all settings on low). Two compounds is really bad. Went from 45-60, down to 11-19. All settings on low. Attached find my DXDIAG.txt.
Thank you all for the hard work. Also just noticed the attached .bmp mooncloud sky.

Still slight problems killing the enemy at point blank range but maybe the problem is in the line of fire ?



If you open a blank map with a gun and point at the floor ahead ... Hold it dead steady and shoot .... then again...and again..

The bullets don't hit the same place or dead straight no matter how steady you are.



They hit the ground randomly about 5 foot apart sometimes...Most notably on the colt ...No wonder we keep missing



I would expect at least be somewhere in the middle of the sights even if we didn't have steady hands

You're right, Synchromesh! I just tried it myself. Acceptable if left-clicking to shoot, but right-clicking "iron-sight" to shoot should have a very tight pattern and while it's certainly better, there are many strays.

In my excitement of the Ai being able to stand on building floors and what not, I set one in a castle level I have, he fired at me through the walls and then when I was close and in sight of him, he turned away from me and didnt do anything until i got next to him and even then, he never chased after me.

Nice job TGC! I found problems with some of my custom scripting and some characters, but I can fix those as I learn the changes made in this version. Gotta love blowing stuff up though. I will have to work to learn the new ambiance settings to restore the look I was going for, but I love the direction this version is headed. Reloaded will be a great tool.

I just gave it a quick test with Get to the River, the default settings on my PC leave everything incredibly washed out. Playing with brightness/contrast didn't help, only made some parts really dark and others still excessively bright. Also I could jump very high to the point of being able to look over the huts and see inside just by jumping.

The illumination map, not working properly, the object is only brighter, without generating light. The characters do not understand that to achieve my character have to cross a bridge. Where are the bullet holes? Where are the decals to create smoke effects, fog and fire?
The size of the map is increased? (I seem much bigger than before)

Everything looks better to me but I have a drop in the framerate. In my test level a dense forest I get 25 - 40 FPS in V7 on high. I even get 80 FPS if I was somewhere with less trees. Now I get maximum 25 and average 15. Maximum 48 if I stand somewhere with less trees.



The grass animation looks very clipped like there were less animationframes. The new brightener/contrast function are very good but it makes everything a little bit strange. It looks like I would be in a dream or something. I think some improvements will be needed here but so far so good.



I like the new sounds! The terrain texture looks more detailed but some shadows looks strange like you can see in picture. It seems that there are some lines or something like that. Some entities are over lighted - see picture.

Had to do a considerable amount of tweaking to get a scene almost right, walls facing the sun is far too bright doesn't matter the amount of brightness, ambiance or contrast used, I have moaned far too many times about it already, the entity shader darkness doesn't match up with the rest of the terrain, See again I moaning about it it.The trees specular, and walls specular is too high, need to be tweaked.As explained the bloom isn't doing any thing either it is suppose to be adaptive bloom.

The new B/C sliders vs old graphics



A version before B/C sliders.

Looks great so far, the only problem I have come across is that when you go to download entities it takes two attempts to connect to the server.
