Anything new dudes?

I managed to get a hold of some of my old code, but for the past two months I had been in the process of moving and starting a new job so I'm not going to be able to put as much time into this as I would've liked but I will be working on it very slowly.

There's still the depth buffer issues I hope to fix and they're game breaking and I'm not sure if I'll be able to pull it off myself,
Sadly the old code from the previous time we did the modification pre-dates the fixes to that issue.

Well keep it up guys I would love to play this still. Cheers to hopes and dreams

I've been on vacation so I've had a lack of progress on this as well as other things I've been working on but it just so happens someone had the compiled version of our old code, I haven't had a chance to check exactly how old or new it is or what stage it was actually at when we sent it to this friend.

But....
It'll certainly integrate some of the fixes to graphics issues and crashes so that's awesome news here! less work less bugs always good.

Of course for some of the more advanced stuff I'll have to reverse engineer our old compiled binaries but that shouldn't be a huge issue at all.

Just thought I'd let you guys know there is some movement on this,
I've also managed to obtain a Beta of the Xbox Version so I'll be using that for reference to certain engine functions and stuff while reverse engineering.

I would surely play this if I could! Very interesting please keep it up

So i played around in the multiplayer and ive noticed almost all, if not, all of the shaders were missing but that kind of stuff is accepted and expected.
Another intresting thing is that when you touch the second player, he turns to a non-deformed version of himself, albeit in a falling pose and starts to slide away.
This is most likely because the second player does not have any inputs set up and the game doesnt know what to do.

I ment to post it yesterday but couldnt because of time constraints and because it uploaded so slowly, i had to let my PC on for some hours while i went to sleep.
EDIT: Here is another video showing off the Flight game mode.

If you need any help, I know many programming languages and whatnot, I also know a lot about communication to the GPU.

Maybe it has something to do with reseting the player and by doing that, automatically refreshing the renderer.

I don't think that's it because if I die then respawn the issue is still persistent while I'm alive.

It only fixes while you're dead then goes back to the way it was while you're alive.

 

Indeed, the game has rendering issues in Multiplayer due to the fact that it was originally built for the xbox and never intended to render on multiple viewports for PC, It's possible by just disabling the extra view port the issue would be fixed.

The issue with the Tal'Set being all deformed I don't believe relates to rendering, I believe that has more to do with the fact there's no input assigned or something isn't happening.

The floating warclub is actually the 1st player (The one I'm playing as, you can see it in the youtube video I've showed), there's more invisible stuff like the dinos on the treehouse level tons of stuff we had issues with early on the first time I worked on this and I believe some of it may have been fixed by actually disabling the spit-screen while leaving the 2nd player spawned.

Essentially just disabling the rendering of the second screen and making the game believe it only has to render the first player's screen.

Currently I'm going to debug the pistol zoom crash and see if I can't fix it,

I'll provide the patched files here (if that's allowed) once I wake up today (haven't slept been working on this all night), and then everyone can screw around with the multiplayer functionality.

Also the ATR viewer does actually load some of the multiplayer maps as well I was experimenting with that a bit.

UPDATE:
Some real quick nops in relation to the area it's crashing and the pistol zoom now works , really dirty method I should probably figure out what it was trying to access and why it failed... but regardless it doesn't seem to have caused any additional problems performing the nops that I did.

I could now reverse engineer the viewport stuff.
