[FIXED 075] Flickering at start

Post by **AndyCR** » Fri Jul 15, 2005 3:02 pm

On ever computer ive tried this new package of rf on, if you start a level in first person, it flickers like crazy, showing, it seems, partly the level rightside up and partly the level up-side down (my pawns are sticking to the cieling!). this does not occur if you set levelviewpoint to 1 (third person), or if you manualy switch to first or third person with the F.... keys. this did not occur on previous releases of RF072A. I wish i could get a screenshot to show you, but it simply shows it normal in a shot; itd need to be a video, which would be large.

know what you mean
I'll have a look whats going on, haven't changed the RF072A exe though...

Seems like RF doesn't like an ActorRotation of (-90, 180, 0) in 1st person

(which is necessary for max actors, e.g. virgil.act), if you use the sarah.act from 072 you just need to rotate her 0 180 0 and this works fine
I'll do some more investigation on this topic

hmm. odd. thanks again!

fixed
bug was in CPlayer::LoadConfiguration()
X and Z of ActorRotation shouldn't be used at all when setting the cameraoffset in 1st person view

Thank you, I've been complaining about this for a year. Forget how I fixed it though, something about 'lock view' I think. In rf072a it does it, I fix it by
hitting F1.

Yeah, That happens to my Gmax actors as well. Not that this post really helped much

Yeh, this post didn't help at all, is there going to be a fixed.exe?
