FFX 3.2 Bug Reporting Thread, take II

[cosmos123]

okay thanks taskmaster that did helped! But later on my iron spider man AI was not working properly and I did not edit his m25ai file at all.So i ran him in the AI generator. I pit him against captain America and they had no problem finding each other in the park map. Spider man launched a sewer top at the captain. Spider man then decided to flee.Thats when my game froze up. I have been having this problem since the version prior to this. I gave him ropeswinger, he takes off, then he suddenly vanishes and the game crashes! I then looked into the script.log and see the errors coming from the captain? But as you can see the script ends when spider mans flees away, thats where the crash occurred heres what i got form my script.log [spoiler]

I really think that requests for help with the AI should go in a different thread.  This is distracting us from our task of removing bugs from this release.

[M25]

Okay, now it's gotten worse.  Every time I try to start the game I just get a black screen, and everything freezes.  No error message or anything.  I have to reboot.

It's probably a corrupted powers.dat file.   If you look in the ffx3 directory, there should be a powers.dat.bak file.  Use that to replace the powers.dat file.

[Dreaded Porcupine]

How do you clean up powers.dat?

Not too sure when we can release a Public Beta 2.
So, for the moment, PM me an e-mail address and I'll send you the updated powers.dat. I hope it will make your FFX 3.2 experience a bit more enjoyable.

I tried the new powers.dat and the game still crashed. I was able to play 4 on 4 in AI skirmish watch mode for awhile before it crashed though (twice). I can start the game up again at least. It's better than it was. At least I didn't get that alert message this time.

[M25]

okay thanks taskmaster that did helped! But later on my iron spider man AI was not working properly and I did not edit his m25ai file at all.So i ran him in the AI generator. I pit him against captain America and they had no problem finding each other in the park map. Spider man launched a sewer top at the captain. Spider man then decided to flee.Thats when my game froze up. I have been having this problem since the version prior to this. I gave him ropeswinger, he takes off, then he suddenly vanishes and the game crashes! I then looked into the script.log and see the errors coming from the captain?

Is this a one time thing or does it happen all the time? 

[jmoser]

It's probably a corrupted powers.dat file.   If you look in the ffx3 directory, there should be a powers.dat.bak file.  Use that to replace the powers.dat file.

I already did that, to fix the dreaded "CFastHeap" problem.  Granted, it did seem to solve that problem, but now I'm not getting any kind of error message at all.

it wasn't until i dl'd taskmaster's fix on the yahoo group that things worked properly again.

Maybe I should try that.  What yahoo group is it on?

It looks like the game crashed on you while writing out the powers.dat file, so you now have a corrupted or incomplete version.  Restoring the backup should temporarily fix the problem.

The yahoo group is FreedomForceX

[Xenolith]

I sent jmoser a copy of taskmaster's fix from the yahoo group.  Lets see if that solves his problems.  I suspect it will.  I think he is having the same problems I was a few days ago. 

[cosmos123]

Sorry I just thought this was the right place to post this. M25 yes this happens often, with characters with the attributes super-leaper and ropeswinger together. It usually happens when either the character leaps or ropeswings i think, they disappear into thin air. but i once was able to have the cinematic cam on them, they leap all the way to the top of the map and further until the buildings were as small as ants. weird huh?

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

Alright, to make getting hold of the fix easier, I've uploaded it to my own webspace and am making it available here.

[Monkeyman]

YAY! Thanks CWWBH! :thumbup: ffx3.2 is working like  a charm now!

[guts]

I believe I found a bug. I was playing just now the Allies mini-mod with a squad composed of Supercollider, Deja Vu, Man-Bot and a custom character. I used Deja Vu's irradiating beam to make Supercollider assume his temporary form. Everything working just fine up until then. However, after the sixty seconds passed, Supercollider, instead of morphing back to his normal form, simply disappeared. Even his portrait on the lower left side disappeared, like he was never on the squad to begin with.

Oh, still on the Accidental Change/Temporary Form topic, could anyone please explain to me how do I make it work? I made two custom characters just now (one with Accidental Change and the other with Temporary Form) and, when I accessed the FFXCC to adjust the Accidental Change character's form accordingly, the character with the Temporary Form wasn't selectable on the list. Only supercollider1 could be chosen.

Thanks.

Edit: Sorry for the lack of script.log. It's just that it's too long, therefore surpassing the maximum number of characters. I tried posting it on a second message but it still just won't fit.

[jmoser]

I already PM'ed Xenolith on this, but I wanted to let everyone else know that the fixed attributes.dat and powers.dat files took care of all the problems I was having.  In fact, I must say that with FFX 3.2 the game is working better than it ever has for me (although my completely uninstalling and reinstalling everything--twice--probably has something to do with that as well).

Accidental change uses the Involuntary Form attribute, not the Temporary Form attribute.

Shapeshifter => Temporary Form => Changes to another form or the original
Accidental Change => Involnutary Form => Reverts to Accidental Change form (your primary form)

I'm glad "the fix" worked, jmoser.

[jmoser]

Here's a bug I don't remember seeing reported.  I made a hero file for Doctor Doom, and gave him the attribute Private Army 3 (I don't know if this is relevant, but it was part of a combo attribute I created, one that also includes invulnerable 10, grim resolve, fast flier, level-headed, cosmic awareness and enhanced senses).  I opened up the FFX Control Center and customized the "Minion" line so that he would always be surrounded with a group of Doombots (a separately created character).  Then I went into the Rumble Room to play a game using him and, lo and behold, he had a private army of cops.  I went back into the Control Center and there it said "cop" under "Minion."  I changed it back to "doombot", did some other stuff with the game, and closed the Control Center, but next time I opened the Center there is was again--"cop."

By the way, I didn't have this problem with my hero file for Red Skull.  I gave him the same attribute (not as part of a combo, though), and in the Control Center put "nazi_rifleman" in the "Minion" line, and I never had any problems with it.  Might that be because the Nazi Rifleman is a built-in character instead of a custom?

[stumpy]

This sounds a little like you might have had a different mod selected in the Control Centre when you selected doombots and saved. Check that first. It has to be the same one that is after the -game flag in the Target field for the shortcut you are using to start the game.

Meanwhile, post your script.log. Play just long enough for the miniors to show up and a few seconds to go by after. If it is still too long, there are instructions near the top of this thread on how to find the parts that will let us help you.

[crimsonquill]

Okay, I managed to fix all of my previous FFX 2.3 errors by following examples here and reinstalling my FFvsT3R game and add-ons. Even used the .dat fix that was posted earlier which I never saw before until a few nights ago.

However, I never used the Trick Shot attribute before tonight and when I entered the Rumble Room I saw this:



Now the attribute works fine in game and the "items" disappear when you touch them like normal.. but I somehow can't figure out where the arrow nifs got mislinked to the wrong items.  :blink: Anyone else encounter this before? And how can I fix this myself?

- CrimsonQuill

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

Wow!  That's strange!  This WAS working when I re-enabled the attribute.

I just checked, and the arrow1, arrow2, and arrow3 .nifs are the wrong ones.  The arrow .nif that I added from Yellow Lantern is gone and I can't find another copy.

I guess someone will have to ask YL for another copy.

[joemama]

Do you merge the fixed .dats or copy them over the existing ones?


PS-- my current .dats are clean installs with EZFX and a few custom objects from maps.  i have no custom characters, attributes or powers on them.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

They copy over the ones in the FFX3 folder.

[yell0w_lantern]

Hi guys and gals.

I started an arrow but never finished it. I did do the new nifs for the utility belt attribute. I believe Tommyboy did the arrow NIFs. Sorry I can't be of more help.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

Sorry, I though it was you.

All I know is that SOMEBODY gave them to me.

[BentonGrey]

Howdy guys, I'm happy to report that I haven't had any problems of note yet.  The only thing that hasn't worked like a charm for me is a state swap.  I set exile to be teleport for Dr. Fate, and every time he uses his power, the villans get exiled.  I know that those things never work perfectly, so it's not a big deal.

The real reason I'm posting, is because I've been watching this thread, and I noticed something about a 'corrupted powers dat.'  I downloaded the fixed files, but I have a question.  I have already started work on something that I had been putting off until this release.  I have already spent a good deal of time entering new powers and such.  Cat said that these files can't be merged in, they have to replace the old ones.  So, I suppose my question is, how vital is this fix?  I'd lose a good deal of work if I had to overwrite.  Thanks guys!

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

If you merge keep a copy of your old one, you should be able to merge you changes from the fix.  Since the FROM .dat over rides the TO, you should go to the old one from the new one.  The fixed powers SHOULD over write the corrupted ones.

Another, probably safer solution is to take the old file and strip away all the power except for the ones you added.  You can safely merge that piece in with the corrected ones, as the corrupted powers should have gotten erased.

However, if you haven't had any problems with the game crashing on you, you may be able to put this fix off and just use the corrupted files.  It's probably better if you fix them anyway.

[crimsonquill]

Sorry, I though it was you.

All I know is that SOMEBODY gave them to me.

Ahhhh-haaa! Took some digging thru my old cd-roms piled in my drawer here but I found an old archieve disc which happened to have the file we have been looking for.

Trick Shot Arrow.Nif Fix by Tommyboy - Available here: http://www.4shared.com/file/10378310/770d8ba2/arrow_ffx.html

That should allow you to scatch this issue off your list, Cat... as well as the FFX Team.

- Crimsonquill

[BentonGrey]

Thanks Cat!

[Epimethee]

Thanks for the files, CromsonQuill. :)

[laughing paradox]

I'm not sure if this was addressed, so I'll say it here.

I created my custom character, Madrox, the Multiple Man, with Accidental Cloning and the special Clone Self.

I can create clones just fine. However, there will be a point where they all lay flat on their face and continue to 'walk' that way. Their shadows look fine, but my character is literally dragging his face on the ground.

Also, (custom) characters with the same mesh end up doing the same thing together, synchronized. They all fall on their face together, or they all punch at the same time, or they all run in place.

I've only played rumble.

Any ideas on how to maybe fix that?

[stumpy]

That isn't really an FFX issue. It's related to how the new game deals with meshes from the old game (and maybe graphics cards...). See this thread for more on this and a couple potential workarounds.

[crimsonquill]

Any ideas on how to maybe fix that?

As the community has talked about in the Technical Issues area... It's an error of the FFvsT3R graphics which causes these phantoms if multiple versions of the same character is used. You need to enter your Graphic Settings area and shut off all of the Building Shadows and reduce your Character shadow to 'blob'. That seems to solve this problem. Apparently, It's an issue with certain Graphics Cards that occured in the initial release.. however since there was no fix patch of any type released it's just a error that we work around (and hatefully live with).
