READ FIRST: KNOWN BUGS AND SOLUTIONS IN MS:C

[dRkILL]

Thanks for the tip; this might help Dogg narrow down where that problem occurs.

Though the "quit and reconnect" works in most instances for lan, i've found that sometimes the character is peramnently deleted, no matter what i do.

I've noted that the file is not deleted when i go into the SAVE folder...

So, I've come up with what i believe is something that doesnt fail.
Since the deletion happens during map change, if you are going to change maps, first exit out, copy all files in the SAVE folder to a back up file. Then you can load back up and try to change maps. If your character is deleted permanatly, copy all folder from your back up file to the SAVE and your character should be back.

This method works for me, so hopefully it works for you. It may be tedious, but losing hours of work on your character is much worse.

hope this helps

ahh, that would just be regular ms all over again

Nighttime being dark isn't really too much of an issue with me, excepting of course the recent problem with torch dimming. Other than that, nighttime ought to be dark.

I mean Dark as in i can't even see 1 CM infront of me, even with torch!

oh and i have ATI Radeon 9550, and it does work with OpenGL.

Hi,

First i want to say thx for finally release your own continued version of this great MOD.

As in every software there are always bugs, i just hope you eventually solve it.

Actually i found... not a bug, but a "slip-up". This "bug" is not your fault but Valve´s fault, as this is not the first time something similar happens to me in other MODs. Anyway, your MOD is also affected by this "bug", i´m talking about the foreigns Half-life (NON-english), but french, spanish, etc...

I did can´t create a character in my own LAN server, i tried everything and after reading all the posts and hours retrying with different game options i just remembered this "bug", the SAVE folder is created in the foreign language folder and not in root folder, in my case, the SAVE folder is created automatically in msc_spanish folder, and some MODs like MS:C needs to have a SAVE folder inside the root folder (msc), thats why my character could never be created. After creating the SAVE folder manually, i had no problem creating a character in my LAN server.

If this helps, i suggest you to include the SAVE folder in the installation package just to avoid this issue, if i´m wrong about this, well, just trying to help.

I hope you don´t give up the project until a more "stable" version is out, because you made a very good job already.

Finally would be great if after a "stable" version you consider moving to Source® .


Saludos from Spain amigos.

Sadly, MS 1.35 was much more stable than this initial release MS:C - I hope MS:C 1.1 comes out quick, as I doubt I can host this over night. I really have to watch it like a hawk.

Another Cause of Character Deletion: On Master Central servers, it seems the MCentral server sometimes saves characters who are dead. If the server crashes while the player is dead - they lose all their equipment, but keep their stats.

Also on MCentral servers, sometimes your SteamID doesn't get validated fast enough. Since the server can't read your SteamID, you can't get your character - reconnecting will usually fix this.

PS. We also had a lot of fun earlier today when everyone got the character belinging to the next player in the list. Major idenity crisis. Restarting MCentral fixed it.

Lol.

Here is an extremely small problem.
arrows didnt stick in. it worked later when i remade, so no biggy

also, when your in crouch and try and type, your letters turn into squares

On a lan server, character deletion happens when you drop stuff off at the bank. It is irrecoverable, you must revert back to a character backed up pre-bank. I'm not sure if it happens when an account is opened or when you first store something at the bank, as I've done it all at once every time. Short-term workaround: don't use the bank.

 

[Lanethan]

That's a new one. Good info, thanks.

I get the same arrow prob.
Seams to only happen to me when im useing iron or elvan arrows.

In the pickup menu gold dosnt seem to to show up properly.
screen shot
2: should say 6 gold .

In the thornlands book cave there are some ashes.
iv tryed killing them 3 times in a row and had 2 appear in the roof with just the bottoms of there feet sticking out and got an axe + 30 elvan arrows form the chest each time.

Are the elvan arros ment to be rare items ?
As when i was testing them out they dint seam to do as much damage as the iron ones id brought from edana

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

BUG: Hosting a listen server causes the game to slow down and sometimes freeze. Also happens when hosting a dedicated server.
NOTES: Appears to be a memory leak in the HLDS program.

This (gigantic) memory leak never happened to me when I hosted my MS v1.35 server. So could it be that MS: C v1.00 is at fault here, and not hlds.exe?

By the way: What is MS: C v1.01? I'm seeing two servers running it.

 

[dRkILL]

It's in HLDS, but it is the fault of MS:C.

i don't think i would want 7499625 Orc Warriors, unless i could control them!

1. Spellcasting: While "preparing" a spell, one may hold alt (+strafe I do believe) and can strafe around when they shouldn't be able to move. I'd recommend checking anything else that is supposed to freeze the character because it probably suffers from the same issue.

2. Graphics: I had a very strange problem where entities were invisible, including world objects tied to entities i.e. doors, players, enemies etc. Occassionally they'd appear at varying distances. I was running the game in OpenGL on my ATI 9800. I restarted MS:C and everything is normal now. I have no screenie of the situation--it happened only once and I have no console dump either

 

[dRkILL]

I've seen that happen when a server is about to time out.

BUG: On foreign versions of Half Life, the save folder is not created properly (made as things such as spanish_SAVE).
SOLUTION: Manually change the folder to SAVE.

You misunderstood me dRkILL, sorry for my bad english, but it is a little dificult to explain it and you may not be interested so if you don´t care, i´m going to write what i think should be better explanation for this case, so you can make a better idea of what i meant:


BUG: Can´t create a character. (NON-English versions only).
SOLUTION: Try creating a SAVE folder inside the msc folder if it doesn´t exist already.


Also i noticed something about the breaking objects bug, it only happens when using bow...

I tested 3 times breaking objects with fist weapon and no problem at all.
Tested 2 times breaking objects with bow and 2 game crashes.

I guess is something wrong with the arrow code when the object is broke.

Would be cool if some1 else can confirm this last thing.

Ok, i´ll keep testing for a better MS:C.

[dRkILL]

Thanks for the update. I'll also go try out breaking things with a bow.

Another bug when Giant Dragonflys attack you they can't hit you they just follow you around flying at you I think this is a bug I don't know but you can still kill them

 

[Zen]

Regarding the "Sometimes unable to spawn on the next map. Right after a transition, your character is grayed out, even though you should be able to join." located in the first post: Is there a solution to this problem? What I am experiencing is that my character is at Edana -> Thornlands and is still greyed out for either Edana or Thornlands.

 

[dRkILL]

That's the problem I was talking about. The only solution I've seen is to close MS and reopen it.

 

[Innos]

lol why is it when you put on knights armor its all messed up? you can see through the body parts and he doesn't have leg protection

 

[Wolfhound]

Related to that, the spider boss never appeared for me. I was hoping that issue would be fixed (it was in the previous version that I had, 1.3 I believe). There were some spiders sticking half out of the walls, so some may be spawning in the walls. Mappers, check out the spawn points, it could be something else but hopefully it's just a misplaced spawn or two.

Just found another. At the bank, if you try to put some type of holster(sheath, sack) with items still in it, in the bank, when you withdraw it the items are gone. I also had a bug where I threw my sack down and picked it up and all items that are blure around the edges of the ggraphic(like boar and rat pelts) were gone. Oh by the way, when will the official MS:C servers go up, how many of them will there be, will chars be backedup regularly on them, and what name will identify them from the other servers?

Oh yea one other thing, under title on the scoreboard, it says # *title*, where the number is your highest trained skills level.

Error:Game crashes while creating a lan server
Stays on "Creating Local Server" then crashes to desktop with no error message.

Fix:None yet.

 

[Nederlin]

Ok,

When you are crouch and try to sit down (rest) the camera view will go underground:



This is not an important bug and i think can be easily fixed by don´t letting rest while crouch.
