OpenJK: Galak_Mech crashes game when spawned in JK2

[Guest Redemption]

Its a gamebreaker, I know outcast isn't the top priority right now... but this seems to be the only thing bugged about it other than missing menu descriptions.

[Smoo]

That's normal in multiplayer but I don't think it should in single player lol

[Guest Redemption]

@@ensiform I think I may know why it crashes. Looking at @@redsaurus code in this link, down at the very bottom in "code/game/NPC_stats.cpp", I couldn't add this to outcast because its kinda different and dunno how to go about it.

@@redsaurus Can/will you fix this? I'm having a go and so far I don't think its crashing because of the model, what about the weapons setup?

Topic moved to OpenJK Discussion forum.

While I am all for fixing it in OpenJK as well as JKE, JKA does not actually have galak fyarr in it so spawning him is at best a cheat

[Guest Redemption]

@@ensiform That sounds encouraging, only way to finish Outcast single player is to bypass the galak boss in doom shields by loading the next level.

 

I hadn't realised that you are if not, the main guy among others in the OpenJK project. Hats off to you.

What do you mean? The last time I played through outcast with OpenJK's OpenJO, it worked fine.

The first time I played Outcast through OpenJK was with @@eezstreet JK2:Enhanced mod. Galak Mech would crash the game. I used the most recent OpenJK OpenJO and he crashes the game there also. Could it be anything to do with @@redsaurus code edits? I noticed that he has edited AI_Galak_Mech.cpp.

 

This seems to be the only gamebreaker for OpenJO.

[ensiform]

What latest OpenJO? We don't provide builds.

[Guest Redemption]

I thought the only way to play outcast with OpenJK was to compile it to build JK2. 

[ensiform]

Indeed, I thought maybe you had a build that was old.

[eezstreet]

What is the NPC code for it? galak_mech?

[Guest Redemption]

Yeah

[mjt]

The Galak Mech only crashes my game when I set r_lodbias to -2 -1 works fine, 0 as well.

 

Is that an issue  maybe?

[Guest Redemption]

@@mjt Well that does it! Nice one!  What a legend!

 

Galak Mechanized loads in with r_lodbias 0 but, won't work with  r_lodbias -1 & r_lodbias -2... for me anyways that is. Great find pal.
