XC_Engine [20] - XC_Core [7b] - XC_IpDrv

Is this 10.1? Haven't seen this yet. I guess you have to disable it until gets fixed bAutoTravelManager=False

build 10 wont work on our Rocket x server or our MH server. thanks for the info. I didn't even think to add that to the ini

I haven't had any issues with version 10 with my DM server but MH clients reported the server was a bit too laggy so I uninstalled it from MH servers.

P.S. All our game servers are windows based except one CSGO gameserver.

yeah ours are on windows as well. we are on version 9 for now on all servers.

Guys, I'm sorry to hear you in fallback at v9 because for me this extension is better than no extension. I was testing a few tens minutes a couple of MH games running MH 5.04 + Mutator to manage a few things, osPower relic mutator, MBot, IpTocountry, Lag-kicker, custom mapvote and... conclusions:
- performance in smaller maps is a bit affected but not so bad to cause real troubles;
- performance in maps loaded seems better than running original engine;
- drop pickup seems a bit lagged on screen but without to disturb significantly.

In other case, a few "default" matches using creatures were a total charm. From me, XC_Engine seems a must have in Win servers.

Don't expect me to speak about whatever Ix core server it's just PentiumD at 2800 MHz using v436 (not 451 any) fired by a launcher in "above normal" priority using both cores.

Let me put a drink into my glass for Higor because... I started posting posts here because of this work, even I've been here from 2010. If I'll see a crash after 30 games this is not the end of world, simply maps need revised and done according to default rules.

Doing some progress at finding out how actors are replicated... in the meantime gonna share something you might find interesting:

The hardcoded update rate on Inventory types:

Code: Select all

FLOAT AInventory::UpdateFrequency(AActor *Viewer, FVector &ViewDir, FVector &ViewPos)
{
	if ( bHidden && Owner )
	{
		if ( Owner->IsA( APawn::StaticClass()) )
		{
			if ( ((APawn*)Owner)->Weapon != this )
				return NetUpdateFrequency <= 4.0f ? NetUpdateFrequency : 4.0f;
			return (Owner == Viewer || NetUpdateFrequency <= 10.0f) ? NetUpdateFrequency : 10.0f;
		}
	}
	return NetUpdateFrequency;
}

[sektor2111]

After my poor understanding I can translate for me previous code as follows:
If that thing is stuff hidden owned by a Pawn (maybe weapon unused in that moment), if that thing has a NetFrequency smaller or equal with value 4 then set value 4. If can be seen and frequency is smaller or equal with 10 then put it 10.
Is my understanding correct ?

I'll check a bit Inventory class to see how reacts in UScript...

[Higor]

This should be better.

Code: Select all

FLOAT AInventory::UpdateFrequency(AActor *Viewer, FVector &ViewDir, FVector &ViewPos)
{
	//Limit frequency on hidden, held items not belonging to the player we're replicating to:
	// 10 if it's the main weapon
	// 4 if not the main weapon (this case occurs when you spectate another player)
	if ( bHidden && Owner
	&& Owner->IsA( APawn::StaticClass()) )
	{
		if ( ((APawn*)Owner)->Weapon != this )
			return NetUpdateFrequency <= 4.0f ? NetUpdateFrequency : 4.0f;
		return (Owner == Viewer || NetUpdateFrequency <= 10.0f) ? NetUpdateFrequency : 10.0f;
	}
	return NetUpdateFrequency;
}

Also, same for Actor base class.
This kinda applies more to projectiles...

Code: Select all

FLOAT AActor::UpdateFrequency(AActor *Viewer, FVector &ViewDir, FVector &ViewPos);
{
	//Limit frequency (max 8hz) on bNetTemporary actors positioned far away or behind the player
	if ( bNetTemporary && !bNetOptional 
	&& ( GetDefaultActor( GetClass())->LifeSpan - 0.2f > LifeSpan )
	&& ( ((Location-ViewPos).SizeSquared() > 1000000.f) || ((Location-ViewPos) | ViewDir < 0)) )
	{
		return NetUpdateFrequency <= 8.f ? NetUpdateFrequency : 8.f;
	}
	return NetUpdateFrequency;
}

Carcass also has a variant of this function, but I won't bother looking at it.

[sektor2111]

I wanna know something mysterious if you can see that "secret".

What or how reacts native function "FindBestInventoryPath" ? I found something in Bot's state roaming which I don't like at all. Looks like there are chances to see Bot very busy with inventories and won't ever hunt player in certain environment, neither in OneOnOne case - even if map is super extra pathed correctly - it looks like doesn't help if is a big huge giant one, LOL .

I'm going to try v10 again today. I agree a lot of MH maps are done horribly wrong.

[RocketJedi]

Good to go! Version 10 on MH and Rx8 I had to use the incremental update 10.1 on RX to get rid of the crash I mentioned earlier with travel manager off as recommended earlier

Was this error happened from a specific map or so? Could use some detail information.

[RocketJedi]

sorry I thought u saw the map name in the log. its a map called CTF-(VIP)AA

[Higor]

Critical: FCollisionHash::ActorLineCheck

XC_GameEngine replaces the FCollisionHash object with a FCollisionCacus octree, for this same reason.
Try this option: bCollisionHashHook=True, be aware that some underwater teleporters may behave unexpectedly due to the traces' behaviour not 100% properly emulated.

EDIT:

Code: Select all

		GNatives[3552] = (Native)&AXC_DummyPawn::execCollidingActors;

Since we're talking about the collision hash/octree, some of you may recognize this function from newer UE versions or UT Community SDK.
Gonna start using it with Siege once I release version 11.

Code: Select all

void AXC_DummyPawn::execCollidingActors( FFrame& Stack, RESULT_DECL )
{
	P_GET_OBJECT(UClass,BaseClass);
	P_GET_ACTOR_REF(OutActor);
	P_GET_FLOAT(Radius);
	P_GET_VECTOR_OPTX(TraceLocation,Location);
	P_FINISH;

	BaseClass = BaseClass ? BaseClass : AActor::StaticClass();
	FMemMark Mark(GMem);
	FIteratorActorList* Link=GetLevel()->Hash->ActorRadiusCheck( GMem, TraceLocation, Radius, 0 );

	PRE_ITERATOR;
		*OutActor = NULL;
		if ( Link )
		{
			while ( Link )
			{	//Actors can be de-collided or killed during the iterator, perform (almost) all checks!
				if( !Link->Actor || Link->Actor->bDeleteMe || Link->Actor->bCollideActors || !Link->Actor->IsA(BaseClass) )
					Link=Link->GetNext();
				else
					break;
			}
			if ( Link )
			{
				*OutActor = Link->Actor;
				Link=Link->GetNext();
			}
		}
		if ( *OutActor == NULL ) 
		{
			Stack.Code = &Stack.Node->Script(wEndOffset + 1);
			break;
		}
	POST_ITERATOR;
	Mark.Pop();
}
