Ye old FEB2008 bugs be here

:arrow: = Working on it, :?: = wtf/unconfirmed, :idea: = fixed next release

Known issues
MAJOR
:idea: Host_Error: UserMsg: Not Present on Client 255
- MOST hosts are now generating this to connecting clients, exceptions being my two servers, Mikkel's, and one of the passworded clan servers [EL]. No amount of reconnecting seems to help.
- Solution (hopefully temporary): Disable AMX
- Still got the problem? Delete admins.txt [yes, we realize this means you have no admins on listen servers, be fixed next month]
- STILL got the problem!? Hopefully fixed next month…
:arrow: Still getting No Free Edict Errors
- While, the relights in Calruin2 and ms_wicardoven helped a LOT, and some other stabs have been made at this, I expect you'll still be seeing more than enough of this type of server crash.
- Some stabs have been made at this on a case-by-base basis, but we've still no universal edict trackers
:idea: Vertex node out of field
- Clear internet cache, and download the betapack again.

MINOR
:?: Think blizzard needs to go back to impact projectile (having issues with that and the new sys)
:?: If you spawn with a rune blade in hand, it tends to mess up the elemental resistance system
- Not sure why this is, meantime, just be sure to sheath your rune blade before changing maps/logging off

Aesthetic
:?: Bludgeon Hammer hits with wrong side
- Suspect another case of "Your other left"

===================
Fixed in MAR2008b
- Sorc Chief WAY TOO STRONG
- Char_Recover generates "Vertex node out of field" error
- Massive Monster-->Look errors
- Element resist system fubars
- Potions of Stability very ineffective, and prevent usage of ice shield
===================

Ancient/Perpetual
Known Ancient bugs:
- People still can get stuck in each other on spawns. (Partly Map Flaw)
- Swimming in waterfalls (Map flaw - although deliberate on the new Helena).
- Become invisible when putting on armor (armor display bug work around, type 'vis' in console)
- All entities invisible bug (type kill in console to cure).
- Lights/sprites not going away / sticking to other objects
- Occasionally a weapon/spell will stop doing damage until it is unequipped then re-equipped.
- Occasional scrambled inventory: wearing potions/scrolls, etc. Usually caused by clicking on a character multiple times before load.
- Can't use charge attack in laggy conditions. (Work around: use +special or +uber)
- Sitting animation bugs (sometimes saves to character for awhile)
- All water sometimes goes white (texture stretch bug, restart)
- Mod_ExtraData Cacheing Failed: Listen servers must start on Edana, from there you can changelevel anywhere you want.
- Typing issues in chat. Especially with European keyboards.
- Prices over 32k register as negative on client.
- Health/mana indicator madness (see yonder)
- Small sack holds stuff it should not.
- Bank freaks if you have more than one of the ticket or item you are trying to trade
- Armor display bugs involving Gladiator and AoB. (Need new armor display sys)

Also Not liable to go away soon:
- Some monsters still capable of some acts while frozen (jumping, etc.)
- Orion Bow jamming sometimes, (I've no idea how to fix this without dropping the whole charged weapon concept.)
- Jumping from server to server without closing HL screws with FN functionality (solution: Close half-life before joining another game.)

Can't use charge attack in laggy conditions. (Work around: look at the floor and pray.)

Even if you don't consider it a full fix, +special is still a better suggestion than yours :roll:

Heh, sry... Just haven't updated that in ages.

...I suppose the memory dealloc on transition bug is gone too, and *hopefully* the elemental stacks.

After install, when I try to launch the server, it tells me that the sc.dll and ms.dll have mismatched versions, (feb2008 vs. march2008). I downloaded this betapack off of Thothie's site... The ms.dll was modified March 5th 6:22pm [GMT+8] and the sc.dll was modified March 6th 12:19pm [GMT+8].

***EDIT***

The betapack off of Thothie's site had the mismatched .dlls. The "main download" location has the right .dlls. Server working.

BTW, I've always wondered, do the SSE1 and SSE2 optimized .dlls make any difference on the server machine, or just the clients?

Just the server, does nothing for the clients.

As for the mismatch, ye may have downloaded it when I was updatin, or somethin.

I can't connect to either replica's server or the Revolution server due to "UserMsg: Not Present on Client 255" Both report game version MAR2008a in the game type though. As far as I know, no-one else has been able to connect to them either. the tPoD server and Hells Diner are still on FEB2008b for now. (I'm sure they'll get round to updating later today) However, we can all connect to Thothie's servers, both the newbie server and the ultra-beta server. This is probably not a bug, but those 2 servers updated too early or something, judging by Picadilly's post above.

So you know, I got the betapack from http://www.msremake.com/download.php using the Thothie.com mirror.

Thought I'd bring it up though.

I'm getting the same error as subenji99 when I try to connect to the server. I've tried both betapacks.

I get this when connecting to any MSC server, except my own, and Mikkel's.

Only thing I can think of is maybe the default ms.dll is corrupt somehow - as I'm using the SSE2 variant (maybe Mikkel is too, I've no way of testing). If it's not something along those lines, and none of my coder's have a clue, we may have hit a dead end. Doesn't look like anyone else has managed to connect to them either.

Could also be an AMX conflict.

This patch has just been made of phayle.

Yeeeah... I'm noticing that the bjorked servers are all running AMX, but the working servers are not.

*sigh* I wasn't intending to cut off AMX just yet, as we've no MOTD system, and no way to execute admin commands from the DS thus far. Plus, even what we do have working seems to do strange stuff from time to time.

PS. The Revolution server is also running a bot plugin - please do not run bot plugins in [FN] - there's no reason for that.

*Removes AMX*...

We can still use Metamod without it borking right?

Also, where was the file to set admins in your own server (non amx) I can't find it >_<.

It's admins.txt - it's not included in the betapack (for obvious reasons) - not sure if it's part of the full installer. Just add the desired Steam ID's. If you want extra abilities, follow the steam ID with a space and add "rcon" or "cvar" (for admin_cvar/admin_rcon access). If you want to add comments, add them on a line above or below the SteamID, but preferably not on the same line.

Metamod *seems* to be okay so far. The [EL] clan server is using Pingbooster - which is something I am considering doing myself, as my server doesn't seem to be using the juice it should sometimes.

So if yer using AMX and Pingbooster, just comment the AMX line in your addons/metamod/plugins.ini

I was just on Bloodrose and we were in the Atholo fight. I was wearing the Armor of Bravery, but i was losing XP still when I died.

I took off Metamod and AMX and the server accepts clients now. But, there's not connection to [FN] yet. We'll see if it comes back soon...

BTW, our server won't run with Metamod on...

I might have an idea on how to fix the AoB - probably just my server, and fuxing with the elemental resists.

What FN port are you on?

I deleted AMX and have pingbooster on (Although I'm not too sure how it works, but it's giving me 500+ fps on the console screen instead of the usual 100+)

One thing though, FN connection seems to be broken on all servers except the ones mentioned earlier, I have checked if everthing was fine but nothing...

I'll look into that (sorry about the edit, just worried some bastard might try DOS attacks on the addie or some such.)

Damn, no my bad, I thought only the pass was confidential, not the domain too, sorry. Also, will your restarter method work without the AMX heartbeat? I remembered one of the recent changelogs saying there was an internal heartbeat in the .dll now, but I might just be on crack. Also, I noticed there's no chatbot client. Is he gone with AMX too?

***EDIT***

[FN] is back up and working nicely now...

Alright... They all seem to be updated proper - I restarted them all to make sure the updates propigated - take a shot at it now? (edit: guess so)

Yes, the game detects my h4xed restarter and handles the AMX heartbeat function itself. There's no need for the chatbot anymore either (MIB fixed that back in JAN2008).

Try out the AOB on the Ultra-beta server when you get the chance, and also give me a heads up as to how the element resistance system goes now (I won't have a chance to try until it fills up a bit, seems to need more than 3 players to fubar).

There's also a nerfed Sorc chief on there... ATM all I've done is reduced his regen rate and some of his damage values... If that doesn't cut it, what I may do instead, is restore those, and remove his ability to regen from kills.

I do realize its mostly the room... Need more ways to get to the top, and perhaps an escape teleport.
