For people who have sound issues with the 'master' builds

[Buginator]

If you are one of the people, on windows, who has sound issues, please do the following:

Describe the sound issues you are having and do the following two runs of the game.
1) run the game with warzone2100.exe --debug=sound, and post your wzlog* logs here.
2) run the game with warzone2100.exe --crash, and post the crash log file (Warzone2100.RPT) here.

You can use any of the past master snapshots that we have made. (like master snapshot 20110519])

If you are using the nightly builds, that is running the older openAL library, and there should be no sound issues with that, so you can also report if you have sound issues with the nightly builds. (No logs or crash reports needed for the nightly build.)


Thanks for your cooperation.

Well, the logs don't show anything other than the usual for cam4 stuff that still needs fixing. Might be my machine -- powered by an old Sempron 3000 that is somewhat degraded (aka it's been pushed hard for a long time, hehe). It's having slowdown issues with 2.3.8 also (esp. on 8-player skirmish maps). Probably just the machine, at least on my end.

[lav_coyote25]

ok , here ya go, a very crappy vid of what i was trying to tell you all about... and there is an almost 3,000kb text file that i would like to have someone look at, includes the specs and info from my machine and also the first and second logs ( had to stop and then reload the save game) . all is explained in the file. i used notepad++ latest version to make the text file.

On the plus side, the Linux builds run wonderfully. Still a little stutter on the nightlies; but again, that's most likely due to my machine. This old workhorse has been used for quite a lot over the years, and still has the jam to get the job done -- at it's own pace, that is.

[Safety0ff]

I was looking at the sound stuff on an unrelated issue and it looks like movement sounds are dependant on the simulation rate and others such as the derrick, power gen, factory steam, etc depend on the frame rate.

All this is likely compounded by issues on windows (with vsync on?) and all the assertion messages being sent to the console as a result of vtols going out of bounds ( I assume they're vtols because of your "100 vtol pads" comment).

I wonder how many units there were in total...

Anyways, so looks like our sound set up isn't very good either. ::sigh::

[effigy]

On the bright side, more regular players are liking master as of today since it was discovered that turning vsync off gives a considerable boost in performance.

Also, what do the "Scanlines" and "FSAA" options do?

[ODDity]

FSAA is the "Frozen Sands Anti Aliasing", for well, anti-aliasing.

Scanlines is a effect that shows up on the in game videos, including the intro, doesn't look great in my opinion.

[Safety0ff]

FSAA is the "Frozen Sands Anti Aliasing", for well, anti-aliasing.

If this is a joke, then I don't understand it, sorry.
FSAA stands for Full-Scene Anti-Aliasing: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ ... i-aliasing ,but the option is a lie, it turns on MSAA.
As for scanlines, it's in the videos so that each line alternates in intensity. like this image: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ ... xample.jpg

ok !! i will have some video showing some interesting stuff... makes no sense to me but to a dev...maybe...
here is the text files for now - the vids will have to wait till later as i am extremly tired. 02:10 am here... anyways...

and as promised!! here is the vid... sorry for the low quality - this was taken with a stylus 760 all weather olympus camera. not the best, but it gets the point across... seeing as fraps isnt any better, well, you know... in the vid you will hear a pretty constant boom, and you will see that STUPID dos box thing, as it captures all the errors and stuff... is there a way to fix this??

OK, well, try the most recent nightly/weekly build, and see if it is better now.
