crash in mappack dm-prison complex
hi all
I downloaded the mappack called dm-prison complex with a bunch of this map made as variations in size, weapons placement etc...When I try to play them in about few seconds it "crashes" silentiously (no error dialog) and I saw the log for ut99 and it appear blank I tried every map and crashed the same behaviour. I tried to install clean ut and I got same results. I tried to contact author to notice him this odd crash but in his readme does not have any email to get in touch. How could I play these maps? its a crash/bug or could be driver dll or ...? I tried latest d3driver and opengl same results.

Re: crash in mappack dm-prison complex
I think the variations in the prison complex maps are more do with the music used rather than anything else, so each version has different music.
You need to use ALAudio otherwise they will crash at or near startup. I had a curious crash in one particular place in the first one he posted on UnrealArchive, which wasn't due to the audio. I can't run them in 469 as I can't use the new ALAudio with that - however I have played at least one of them in 436 with ALAudio, so they do run.
It would be nice if he made a non EFX version as even with ALAudio I don't notice much in terms of 'different' sound - plus ALAudio with 436 spams the log with loads of errror messages - TBH I'm not even sure that the EFX work my version of ALAudio anyway.
The other thing with those maps is the file size - due partly to 20+ screenshots at 1MB+ each, which seems excessive and not all that useful really.
Having said all that, 'they' (there's only one really) are certainly interesting and fun to play - an extended version of the original which I don't think was called Prison Complex but which I remember well.

Hi!
Where can I get that audio driver? I though it was deprecated or so...mmm
okay i got from there:
https://www.oldunreal.com/cgi-bin/yabb2 ... 1399614690
It did not work same crash...

Re: crash in mappack dm-prison complex
Odd that it still crashes - still nothing in the log? What version of UT99 are you using? Have you tried with another version? So it crashes whatever renderer or audio driver you use?
He is on GitHub - don't know if it is possible to contact him through that.
Re: crash in mappack dm-prison complex
yes stil crashes, im using ver 436 and clean install, I tried xopengl last version, opengl 3.7 and directx 9 and 11, ut.log is empty. Installed the alaudio i got same results. Where is his github?
Re: crash in mappack dm-prison complex
That's really weird - for me it (Prison Complex (EFX) v1 and Prison Complex (EFX ControlII)) does run in 436/451 with D3D9 and ALAudio (though I had one odd crash with what looks like some kind of conflict with NW3 so there's something 'off' in the map).
Perhaps it is a silly suggestion but I wondered if you open it in the Editor and it throws an error, you might get more info on the source of the problem.
I've seen the name Zero Khan in the GitHub 'thread' for bug reports on the 469 patch - I don't think it is possible to contact someone through GitHub but you can have a look and see.

Re: crash in mappack dm-prison complex
It's EFXZoneInfo actors. These are reacting using natives from AlAudio as zone explains
Now... if your system has some AlAudio problems (for various reasons), C++ won't do Accessed None spam in logs, it crashes or it even locks down system.
Let me guess, you are using 469a... or... an obsolete AlAudio version.
I'm using Galaxy and 440, map runs fine - it's beautiful but I do have some show in map-switch process:Else... I killed more times Tamerlane because he was busy to defend nothing...
Code: Select all
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// QueryEffects - UnrealScript-C++ glue magic.
//
// AlAudio now just calls QueryEffects() on the ViewActor Zone's ZoneInfo.
// So you just need to have a QueryEffects() event in your ZoneInfo to support
// EFX. All what matters is this event, and the correct ordering and size
// of EReverbPreset/EFXEffects, all properties of this class are just arbitrary
// conveniance setttings for mappers, they are just used by QueryEffects().
// EFXEffects.Version should be also set to 1, and is intended if the interface
// of EFXEffects changes (not likely to happen). Info.Version is set by ALAudio
// to the maximum EFXEffects interface version supported.

I can't get it to run with Galaxy and 436.
The EFXZoneInfo actors seem to be the defaults except for the reverb which is different for different zones - not that I seem to hear much difference.
Can you do a version without the reliance on EFZoneInfos and ALAudio - I did try but couldn't get it to run?

Re: crash in mappack dm-prison complex
So there is another 469b "isolated" version which will come up with troubles when a more wide range of users will use it ?
Good to know...
Okay, doesn't matter... I'll try to figure all relations with AlAudio... but if it's about zones, map would need a "rebuild" which can be a problem if it's not build as with original settings for those sliders... Any change at zones and whatever is concerning structure would need a rebuild as far as I know...
In conclusion: Once again great stuff goes useless due to C++ fantasies in making poorly written drivers... I'll try to figure if at least one of them can be recovered...
Edit: More lolzing - I tried to listed whatever song from one of maps - it's trash, it doesn't work not even in VLC. I'm not surprised about audio crashes - here I believe the stupid Music is guilty for audio crashes not really sound effects - or both of them are useless...

Re: crash in mappack dm-prison complex
Well, I gave up trying to play them I tried all ways except 451 that curiously I could play those maps, I wonder what the hell author could not provide (if any solution could be acchieved) any email. By the way do you know what is the url github?

Re: crash in mappack dm-prison complex
If music won't run in 436 then for me it's useless. That's not what player needs.
As I expected, there are also pathing bugs, more manual work won't be too much doable as long as those MyLevel textures are getting screwed up in 227h-i for some "improvement" reasons exactly as in UT with sound/music files. Community looks like it's working harder to make these useless - good to know.
This old computer which I'm using I think it won't run any of these newer fascinating "updates" and "fixes" - I'm refusing to install them. I wasted the whole day for getting nowhere. Each map would need its own UT version for being played right now ? That will be the way of working in UT for 2021 ?
And then, maybe 469b runs music in Editor but map it's still crashing... yeah, good news no wonder. For the record, VLC media player is running all STOCK UMX music and other UMX music files just fine - including what I produced (one music file, lol), except these ALIEN umx files, definitely something is not okay at them disregarding their usage in 469b. Plain player has nothing.
I'll bet on 10$ that map will be fine without EFX aliens and thatumx trash I mean "music", and of course, deleting impossible paths and causing VALID ROUTES AT REDEEMER using everything: ImpactHammer, UT_JumpBoots and Translocator; and for other combos as well + removing "node-near-node" stupidity.

Re: crash in mappack dm-prison complex
Agreed. The music should be converted for the legacy players. In the early stages of patch development at least. Once 90% of the playerbase moves to 469, THEN we can talk about disregarding. But until then, packages need to be fixed.
Re: crash in mappack dm-prison complex
I agree entirely. The music doesn't run in 436 Editor with Galaxy and in consequence, along with the various other problems, the maps are useless for general play. They can only be played if one hits on the right combination of UT version, renderer and audio driver.sektor2111 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 21, 2020 4:35 pm If music won't run in 436 then for me it's useless.

But it's not just the music that's the problem - the use of EFX causes errors as well and there are render issues as indicated by my crash logs.
