FFX 3.2 Bug Reporting Thread, take II

[TaskMasterX]

That's good news, IPS. Although, to my knowledge, there never was an Area Blind to Mental Dmg Swap. For a Swap to have an area effect, you can only use Cloak, Empathy, and Displace Image. All other swaps have to be melee, beam or projectiles.

[Epimethee]

hmmm that's not good cause... i'm using my mac in bootcamp and the ~ character (along with number keypad) is not useable in the windows environment with bootcamps drivers... lol

In the better later than never dept.:

:huh: Works for me, and I believe we both have the same basic model, you should be able to get it working. My setup: Bootcamp'ed XP SP2/OS X 10.5, USB alu keyboard (are you using the Bluetooth version, maybe?) with the keyboard language mapping set to "Canadian Multilingual (Apple)" (not that it should matter) – the key to the left of the "1" does the trick. PM me if it doesn't work so we may do a few comparative tests.

[Epimethee]

Yep, you need to add the line

[R.O.M]

the absorbing attribute in 3.3 has trouble if you absorb fire. the fire will never leave after it is absorbed. even if you try absorbing something else

[legemaine]

Hi - I'm new to FFX3 (only played vanilla until recently). Generally most things seem to be working out fine after I made sure I'd 'branded' properly. However, I don't seem to be able to get the utility belt attribute to work. Details below

Tested in standard Rumble Room battle
Custom character 'Captain'
Symptom is that no objects appear at scenario start

Am I doing something dumb?

Legemaine

[stumpy]

legemaine, first let me say that was an excellent bug report; you included many important details and the script.log that sometimes take two or three posts to get out of people.

Unfortunately, I don't really see what the problem is. I don't have much experience with UTILITY BELT myself, but I can say that there is nothing in the script.log that looks like an obvious error. I just created a character with the attribute and tested it in the RR (using the battle mode on the prison yard map, alone and with an ally) and it seemed to work fine. There may be some interaction between this attribute and the others that character has, but I don't see what they would be. I gave my test character all the attributes that 'captain' has and it still worked for me.

I assume the other FFX attributes are working for that character and for other characters. Does this work on other maps? If you give the attrib to other characters, does it work?

[Previsionary]

Don't know if this was reported but...

when M25_USE_SKXCAMERA is set to 1, it does some weird things with a few camera commands such as:

Camera_LookAtObject('minute_man', 50, 100, 100, 0, CPM_HOMING, CA_TRACK)

The height check isn't a problem, but it's the random camera movements (IE: when a character talks, it'll swing around by itself even if another camera command is called) and the lagging behind that makes the function annoying in cutscene situations. Perhaps there's a fix for it or did I do something incorrectly?

[Epimethee]

Just to be sure, is this with FFX 3.2 or 3.3?

[Previsionary]

latest version: 3.3.1

[qazwsx]

Anyone ever experienced such a debilatating problem? The game becomes unplayably choppy(seemingly frozen) while a message comes up saying: "New civilian/tank: girl run datfiles.campaig
character found with duplicate "complex value" quit and run FFX control centre". And so I did, to no avail multiple times over. One of the older versions never had this problem. New TANK? wtf?

[M25]

Previsionary:  that is what the kuertee's skx camera functions do.  I think it was intended to give a more dynamic feel to cutscenes.

qazwsx: You have two or more civilian characters with the same 'complex' value.  It's an old problem that running the control centre won't fix, unfortunately.  stumpy had a fix for this... I'll have to dig it up.

Edit:  OK, here it is:

# From the console, enter
#   import datfiles
#   datfiles.Campaign_SetMissingComplexAttribs()
# and that should do it.


To get to the console, make sure you have

import ff
ff.CON_ENABLE=1

in your Freedom Force vs The 3rd Reich\System\localinit.py  file, then press the tilde (~) key.  Type in those lines and it should fix the issue.

[Previsionary]

yeah, I know what it was meant for...but it kinda wrecked a few cutscenes or made the game super lag with the camera movement commands, so I'm just throwing a warning out there for future reference.

Thanks M, the cinematic camera is fantastic, though I wonder why it's able to zoom in beyond -300. By the way, for timed encounters, does the timer take into account pauses?

[M25]

I didn't write the cinematic camera, but I believe the camera isn't really zooming, its being moved within the program.

The timer should pause if the game pauses.

You're looking for the FFX 3.3 thread.  This is the one for the obsolete 3.2, which you aren't even using.
