I think I've just figured it out.  When I tried replacing levels.txt and running Infection, this was the log file when OpenBOR closed:

Code: [Select]

FW's problem is that OpenBOR is trying to decrypt the unencrypted video.txt file in the data folder.  And when the first video.txt it tries doesn't work, OpenBOR doesn't open the correct one at all and sticks with the defaults, which is why the mod is at 320x240.

I thought it was the other way around.... where he needed to use a local video.txt for it to work on his system... because the one included in the spk file was failing on him for whatever reason.

[Fightn Words]

What it was-

SecurePak mod:

no video.txt (in the data folder) = runs the way you want it to run, normal colors, normal resolution
with video.txt = forces 8-bit color & 320X240

I'd wondered if that wasn't the problem since the engine somehow knew which resolution to put the mod at. Are SecurePak mods supposed to have their own video.txt by design? Well at any rate, thank you for figuring that out.

[SX]

Oh... yeah you shouldn't be overriding a spk's video.txt  especially a securepak mod... because all the data is encrypted and it would expect the video.txt to also be encrypted regardless if its in the pak or outside within a data folder.

< I changed my profile

Got OpenBOR wii 2716 and it still doesn't work     

[Plombo]

Huh? When did it stop working? 

Can you give more detail on how it's not working?

[Bloodbane]

 I have tried couple solutions and here are the results:

2. For some reason, entity loses x velocity after reaching apex from being tossed with script. I don't understand why.

 Seems like tossed entity reverts to its speed after reaching apex. It's solved by applying the tossing speed to entity's speed.
 I still wish some explanation why though.

3. Now, shooting in Contra mod is broken. What I do is spawning type none entities with attackbox and set their velocity with script. The result is it can move up or down but can't move left or right at all.

 Funny thing about this bug is that this doesn't happen with enemies. They can shoot type none entities fine.
 I solved this by using pshot type and apply shot speed to projectile speed.

 Icarus bug really breaks my vertical levels, literally I could even hear broken windows. I could solve it by setting offscreenkill but that means I can't use offscreenkill for real purpose .

There is a bug with current engine build (3740) when i do a specific 'special' attack (attack and jump together) which causes enemies to freeze on screen it crashes the game. works fine in older engine releases. And nothing comes up in log report

[utunnels]

Yeah, I see.

That is because the engine tries to set frozen map while the enemy doesn't have the corresponding remap.

I'll look into it.

-----------

BTW, are you using fmap for the enemy?

[nsw25]

Yeah, I see.

no im not, i tried to set up fmap before but did it wrong and couldnt get the hang of it. i want to though beacuse the enemies revert to original sprite colour when i freeze them even if they are a different remap. Is there a way to define a frozen animation in the character text file ?

[utunnels]

Post a entity txt, let me see how do you set it up.

---------------------

Edit*

Nevermind.

If you are not using fmap you'd better set it to -1, otherwise it changes to default color table when frozen.

what do you mean ? so put in each enemy text file
fmap -1

[utunnels]

Yeah, that should do the trick.

[Bloodbane]

 So will you fix this bug? freeze attacks work fine in previous build even though enemies don't have frozen map.

 While we are on subject of bugs, I'd like to report this too. This takedamagescript doesn't work right:

Code: [Select]

void main()
{// Blink effect script
    void self = getlocalvar("self"); //Get calling entity.
    int Health = getentityproperty(self,"health");

    if (Health > 0){
changeentityproperty(self, "colourmap", 1);
changeentityproperty(self, "maptime", 20 + openborvariant("elapsed_time"));
    }
}
 Enemy did get its palette/map changed but it never reverts to previous palette/map.

[nsw25]

Yeah, that should do the trick.

Thanks i can confirm fmap -1 works
