I am assuming that this was a single player only patch. I took a bit of a dig around DirectPlay, but couldn't find anything at a glance.

When developing various plugins for the server-side of things, I will often employ debugging with breakpoints to check if stuff is working, but the client seems to disconnect itself if it doesn't get any input from the server after some seconds.

I am wondering if anyone knows how I can disable this 'self-kick' the client does if it doesn't detect the server is still active?

As I recall, the limit for the INI_Reader class internally is 1024 characters per ini value. I am not aware of any file size limits, and the only one I would imagine is if you had a file larger than a gigabyte, which I highly doubt.

The error could be tied elsewhere, perhaps a save file? What is the line limit you have observed?

I have encountered issues with this before if the path is invalid, it will not start. Check that the path set in the registry is correct.

I like the 0x part for *copying to my code* purposes. Time saver.

This was the issue. This begs the question. Is there an order of how things are meant to be ordered? Do asteroids and nebula go before/after encounter parameters, for example?

I looked into my issue further. Found that the dll names are hardcoded into the application. My names are different and in some cases longer. Do you know how I could increase the length of the string to accommodate my new path names?

Compiling FLStat

I found a bug with FLStat caused by altering the path of the resource dlls. It assumes that the resource dlls will always be located next to the exe, even though they can be located in another folder.

I thought I'd be able to fix it by altering the assembly found at Adoxa's website, but I got no idea how to compile it (tried running it through NASM on a hunch, which didn't get me anywhere). Any ideas how to properly compile it?

Code:

Source: D:\Games\Aftermath\EXE\SERVER.dll
RelExpAddr: 0x702064
ExpCode: 0x3221225477
ExpFlags: 0
ExpAddress: 0x03954990


Triggered by warping to a base that doesn't have a physical presence, but has an mbase and universe entry, I think.I was warping to st03b_01_base for testing.

How does your multiplayer callsign work?

Thank's to Adoxa's work with Callsign.dll we know how single player calls the player, and it's because of some values assigned within Content.dll. However, while looking into it, I noticed that the handling of multiplayer ids seems to be totally different, with each person having their own (seemingly random?) assigned id.

Does anyone know how multiplayer knows what to refer to the player as?

IZone Properties

I'm trying to create zones programatically and am trying to map out the structure of IZone. The base FLHook definition we have is as follows:

Code:

struct IMPORT IZone
{
struct FactionSpawn
{
uint iFaction; // Faction ID, obtainable with e.g. pub::Reputation::GetReputationGroup()
float fChance; // Spawn chance
};

uint iDunno1[1];
uint iZoneID;
uint iSystemID;
Matrix mRot;
Vector vPos;
uint iShapeType; // 1 = sphere, 5 = ring
uint iPropertyFlags;
Vector vSize;
uint iDunno4[13];
CmnAsteroid::LootableZone *lootableZone;
uint iStartFaction; // & 0xFF, always zero
uint iCountMaxFaction; // & 0xFF, appears related to the max number of factions in a given encounter line
st6::list<FactionSpawn> factionSpawns;
uint iDunno5[5];
};


There is a lot of dunnos there. I took some screenshots after running it through the visual studio debugger to see what changed between two zones:

Open in new window


Open in new window


Does anyone have any ideas what some of the values might be (sorta going out on a limb here)

I wonder if it would work the other way too. Either removing the player version of muzzle cone constraint, or preventing players from shooting through their ship. The latter one I'd really like to see if it is possible; seeing players shoot guns through their ship was always so immersion breaking for me.

Interesting. We don't have a definition for HpAttachmentType (just a blank enum), so I'll probably run some checks later on to log all the possible values for it.

Which unknown do you mean? iDunno12[19] or iDunno6[4] or idunno[20]

Very cool, but I don't have access to CShip. The thing I am hooking gives me a Archetype::Ship* object instead. Is it possible to get the CShip value from that at all?
