When I place the start marker, it doesn't support off angles...
When run test mode-- player only faces directly north or east or west, not even south! And won't face the in-between angles!
I was trying to find a report on this in case it had already been mentioned. Even though the forums are in a drought, it's too much to search through- so asking if anyone else using GG classic anymore? Guess not...?
Secondly, and related, I try to use GetCameraAngleY ( 0 ) as origin angle, same issue persists.
Thirdly, restarted GG but same results.

@ Gubby
Do you mean this one?



If so, press CTRL + R, and you are done.

Hi 3com. Thanks for the time making the videos.
Could you face your start marker south (bottom of screen) with barrels or something there to align to-
and then hit test mode, and see what happens?
Also could you give us the version of GG you have?

I just started the computer fresh up today, right away loaded GG, and a new fresh empty map;
using Teabone's letters for N, S, E, and W and with simple testing determined that the player start marker is ignoring the southern half of the angles... (flopping them backwards)
Anybody can verify what I'm experiencing? Just a fluke on my end?
Btw, I'm just hitting 'r' when marker is selected to move 45' at a time...
Hitting ctrl-'r' didn't help fix the mixed up player start direction.

@ GubbyBlips
The player marker is facing all the angles in test mode fine for me.
I'm running GG Xmax fixes yet.

As a side note, lately, I'm getting a black screen when running the test mode, about 10 sec, are you having that issue too?
It was a paint to get the videos, since I was to edit them to cut the long-time black screen, plus the rest of the process.

@ 3com;
I have the latest and seemingly not greatest ver. (June-ish)
No black screen, just the normal. Not sure what's the cause?

The reason this camera direction is important to me (may not be that important to everyone so much) is because I'm working on an entity animations finder script/ tool, and it's nice to be able to determine the angle the start marker set the player view toward, and it also disrupts any script that is tied in like that. Considering handing this script over to the forums; if anyone finds that idea compelling- shoot me a reply.

BTW, I theorize that 180 degrees is being added to any angle between 90 and 270...

It's not really that, but something more anomalous. ~like between 90 and 270 the angle is mirrored...?

You been messing with shaders ?
That normally happens when you have ... forceloadtestgameshaders=1 in the setup .ini
set it to forceloadtestgameshaders=0
The whole process will load a whole lot faster and no black screen.

You are right mate, dunno how I missed it, ty for pointing me out to the right path.

@ Gubby
Maybe this script might help you, it tracks the camera angles, and eventually the player angles, there you can get some clues about how to, honestly, do not work with GG lately.

Edit: attached file does no appears, so, I'm going to write code here.

Thanks 3com--
Hmmm... Not your fault but TGC have not fixed yet.
I'm definitely facing south on the start marker in editor.
I'm definitely facing north in start test game.
Do they need some $?

Now I have to insert a blerb of code to fix @ start....

Has it been reported on GitHub, if not it isn't going to get fixed!
Been there, done that, got all the T-Shirts!

It seems to work for me if i select and rotate to the required direction BEFORE i place it on the ground.
Could be worth trying.

This is a bug. If you rotate the start marker by using the widget, for example to bottom right hand corner and place a barrel there, the barrel will not be in view.
