I will run whatever you need me to Jeffrey. I wanted to run performance tonight so I turned off all loggers. It still sometimes lags on transitions. Also textures disappear when the game becomes bogged down. I noticed item textures disappearing from lists. I think this is why the interior of the shipyard disappeared the other day. I’ve never seen…[Read more]

AWESOME!!! Looks SO good!

I think I already know the major problem; the asm part of of the .sha files can no longer be assembled. In Dx8, the declarations were apparently not fully implemented yet, but in Dx9, they are and some declarations are required in the asm portion of the code read in to assemble. But those .sha files do not declare the registers and the ‘assemble…[Read more]

Simply FANTASTIC Jeffrey! I have FULL confidence that you will figure it out! I announced a little about it on the front page news for the April update.

Keep up the GREAT WORK!!!

I am making some great progress myself so this is exciting. I just wish I didn’t have to travel now. Not gonna let it set me back…

Game loads now. Mangled though. Not sure why, but some Dx9 function calls fail in places where supposedly no code change was needed. There are some programs that didn’t require change at all according to migration notes. Oh well. Getting closer.

Notice the dx9 references in ProcExplorer 🙂

Don’t know…though I did notice that the worldmap routines look for _palm models and won’t find any. Though not finding any doesn’t affect the game, as it just passes them by, but logs it anyway. As for ‘fireplace’, I’ve seen that before in the stock game and I think it’s really just ‘a place where fire might be’…like in battle boarding. I…[Read more]

OK I have some more errors to report.

The game ran fine for several hours with no more crashes from looking at the log book. I tried to crash it by going in and out numerous times.

So after numerous battles, loot and cargo missions I finally had my next problem when I went into the shipyard at Curacao. The screen turned black. I suspect this…[Read more]

Uh oh, Orazio. Turns out there’s a slight issue. That .dmp file is 64 bit, and I guess you have to run a 32 bit task manager to dump the file from a 32 bit process/program for me to get one that is debuggable.

I found this:

32-bit task manager under C:WindowsSysWOW64taskmgr.exe. We can use this and select “Create Dump File” for 32-bit process.…

No problem – glad to do it. I’ve studied that topic extensively over the years. In my twenties I began to search for what my “world view” paradigm was. I read everything from the tracts of Eusebius, Augustine, the Apostolic Fathers, to the Torah and Koran and even eastern philosophy, The Analects, Upanishads, Bagavad Gita, Dhammapada. It all…[Read more]

Yes, I need the file so I can load it in the debug feature within Visual Studio, along with the symbol .lib files used to create the .exe/.dll. Then it will identify the functions where the crash happened.

It’s fine to PM a link, but my understanding is that .dmp files will only contain sensitive information if the app itself contains features…[Read more]

Go ahead with the camera…fisheye was becoming a bit grating for me, LOL.

Unfortunately, what I’ve noticed with some crashes is that they are often in unexpected and unhandled situations, so you don’t see them in a log because the code wasn’t implementing a check/output to log in case of bad info. This is where the .dmp files will come in…[Read more]

OK Jeffrey,

I got it sorted out. It was my failure to properly copy a . that kept it from running. (2.1.5.7 vice 2 1.5.7) Anyway I got it running with my latest work and its been working fine for the last hour or more. I did tweak the camera settings back to my liking in AI/Cameras and I also copied an additional path for sound as it was silent…[Read more]

Well I think personally its very easy to code ships into the game but then I’ve done it literally hundreds of times. There are a lot of steps and many people think it is difficult.

Honestly the modeling part of it is the very hardest. I will give you an example. We have about 5 ships in the mod that are from VCO (Voyage Century Online) and I…[Read more]
