[Problem with starting some fan missions]

• Sorry for the late reply, it was just BAU, not AC in this instance.
  
• Thats a low end card, so its good your'e not seeing to many gfx issue with it.
  

Hey thanks for reuploading Business as Usual! Solved all my problems with loading the mission. And yeah my card is low end. I get some lag on occasion and a few graphical issues every now and then (all of which can be solved with performance tweaks) but aside from that I've had no real problems with the majority of missions so far and I've played at least a third of them.

Bikerdude is the author of that mission; you'd have to ask him.

I saw that Bikerdude had responded in this thread a little under 2 weeks ago and I just wanted to see if he had gotten anywhere in solving the problem since then.

 

I'm tempted to take a shot at fixing it myself if it really is just a missing float value.

 

To Bikerdude:

 

I was wondering what you meant what you said this:

I uploaded this yesterday, somehow the archive got corrupted - enjoy.

 

Did you mean that you reuploaded just Alberic's Curse or did you reupload both Alberic's Curse and Business As Usual? Alberic's Curse was a fun map by the way. Took me ages to find the doll.

 

I take it you're using some linux distro? Which grahpics driver are you using? (I've seen a load of similar issues with other projects and catalyst, some mesa drivers). Would be interesting to see if its one in particular.

Actually I'm using Windows. I haven't had any problems graphically so far outside of lag on a few bigger maps or areas with lots of water/opaque windows/guards all in one spot. Crystal Grave and Solar Escape were both fairly laggy in specific areas for me but I got through them by altering my settings with some of the performance tweaks listed on the wiki - and learning to stare at the ground on occasion.

 

Frankly I only downloaded the mod a few days ago with the release of the standalone update. I don't think the issue is on the graphics end for me but I'm currently using an up-to-date driver for AMD Radeon HD 7300 Series Graphic Card.

Another is the mission, Business as usual, the game freezes and crashes every time I try to play that mission, particularly when i press the start mission button. I have noticed though, And I don't know if this might be the problem, that both these missions have a introductory screen with the fancy arrows and "X" at the bottom. No other mission that I've played (that worked) had such an introductory screen, But the mission that I did want to play that did have that particular introductory screen, wont work because the loading screen just won't show.

 

I'm seeing this problem: when trying to load the mission the TDM console pops up with this message:

 

Map: business

glprogs/ambientEnvironment.vfp

glprogs/ambientEnvironment.vfp

TODO: Sys_SetClipboardData

ERROR:file /home/michael/games/darkmod/fms/business/business.pk4/maps/business.proc, line 8887: expected float value, found ')'

 

This is with TDM 2.0 and a freshly downloaded mission. Looking at the offending file I can't see anything interesting, it looks well formed enough, perhaps there really is just a missing number!

I am having this exact same error as described by both posts above and I've tried reinstalling and uninstalling the mission a few times through the ingame mission downloader. Just wondering what progress is being done to fix this problem and what the ETA is on a new version getting uploaded.
