FFX 3.2 Bug Reporting Thread, take II

[stumpy]

I am reposting this just to make sure the thread is there for people reporting bugs. I am not reposting the entire thread, just the intro by catwhowalksbyhimself and my primer for bug reporting.

Report all bugs here.   For further instructions, see Stumpy's post below.

List of previously reported bugs:

Still live
1.  Superleapers teleporting instead of jumping?  Needs further reports and confirmation.
2.  Groups of characters under M25 AI occasionally just stand around and take a coffee break.
3.  Bleeding state swap is unfinished and needs to be either fixed or removed.
4.  All of things that I coded were never tested and need to be tested and removed if not working and unfixable.
5.  alert: CFastHeap::allocate failed, Out of main memory message, followed by a game-breaking crash.  The cause of this problem is unknown.  It does not appear to happen to all users and not even consistently to those it does.

Fixed for next version
1.  Missing string and attribute.dat entries for Enchanter
2.  Unfinished attribute Sound Absorber activated.

If you are having trouble with the beta:

• Run the FFX Control Centre for this mod after you install, before you start the game. It needs to brand any custom heroes you have and any built-ins you have merged using FFEdit.
  
  
• When you create a new custom character (either from scratch or by copying another character), make sure that you have used the FFX Control Centre for that mod so that the character is "branded". Then restart the game.
  
  
• If you are creating several customs, you don't have to do the Quit - Run FFX CC - Restart branding routine for each of them, just create them all, then quit and run the FFX CC and then they will all be branded at once.
  
  
• Remember that you also have to run the FFX CC when you use FFEdit to create a new built-in character and when you import built-ins (merge DATs) from other mod folders.
  
  
• If you are seeing an AI problem (e.g. "I tried to run a character in the Rumble Room but he isn't doing anything or he never uses his main power", etc.), then make sure you have run the character through the Rumble Room's M25 AI Generator.
  
  
• If it is an issue with a power swap (e.g. "I tried to set up a hex beam to crystal cage swap"), make sure you have run the character through the Rumble Room "Generate Power IDs" mission.
  

When reporting problems in the FFX beta (and this generally applies to getting a wide variety of technical help in the game), please:

• Character Type
  Mention whether you have the problem with a built-in character or a custom (HERO file) character.
  
  
• Mission Type
  Mention whether you have tested in a campaign mission or a Rumble Room mission.
  
  
• Descriptive topic Titles
  (This may apply more to bug reported in other threads. Nevertheless...)
  Use descriptive topic titles for your post that give readers some specific idea what you will be describing in the message. To wit, "need help" or "ffx not working" may be true for you, but it isn't letting someone know that he ought to read your post because he had the same problem, which is usually the quickest way to get an answer. Instead "FFX 3.2 beta: SUPERLEAPER problem with customs?" is both useful for people trying to help and useful for others who may have the same trouble, who can now read your thread (and maybe add some detail that helps in finding a fix) instead of starting a new thread.
  
  
• Give Details
  Be detailed and exact in your description of what is going wrong. In other words,
  

  SUPERLEAPER isn't working.

  is a poor bug report and it's tough for anyone to help you.
  But,
  

  I am having trouble with SUPERLEAPER. When I give it to a custom character (MrGreen in this case) and try it in the second campaign mission (the Cuban airfield), the hand appears over objects and I have the "leap to" command in the right-click menu, but nothing happens when I click on it.  Here is my script.log...

  
  In general, if you can give a step-by-step approach to duplicating your problem, you are that much closer to having it solved.
  
  
• Report Special or Limiting Circumstances
  Do a little testing before you post and mention if you found anything, even if it may not seem that important. If the problem happens only in a certain situations, be sure to mention it. For instance, I noticed a problem with swaps in the mission where Entropy sends several waves of subterrestrials and wraiths against the squad. At first it seemed like the swaps just stopped working after a while, but then I noticed that it only stopped after a couple waves had spawned and that lead me to the solution.
  
  
• Try to Post Log Files
  This is a biggy: post your script.log file! This file is located in the root directory for the game (the same folder that has the game executable (the ffvt3r.exe file). If you can't locate the right folder, right-click on the shortcut you use to start the game and choose Properties, then click on Find Target. The folder that opens up will have the script.log file.
  
  Open that file (in NotePad, for example) and copy-paste its contents into your message in between the code tags. To use the tags, just select the code you have pasted and click on the code tag button, .
  
  This might be a somewhat long text file. To keep it relatively short, play a mission, wait a few seconds for FFX to kick into gear, then get the problem you are experiencing to happen as soon as you can. At that point, pause the game and get the script.log at that time.
  
  
• Edit Too-Long Log Files
  If you really can't post the whole script.log because the problem only happens late in a mission and the file is too big by that point, you can still post parts of it. This is a little trickier because you have to decide what parts are worth posting. Generally,
  
  
  
  • Post the beginning of the file, down to and including the section where the characters have their attributes initialized.  That section will look something like

    initAttribsForChar: working on hero_3 (microwave)
    initAttribsForChar (microwave): looking at attribute cybernetic brain
    initAttribsForChar (microwave): looking at attribute radioactive
    initAttribsForChar (microwave): looking at attribute vulnerability
    execInitAttrib: init vulnerability attribute
        on hero_3 of template microwave (microwave)
    initAttribsForChar (microwave): looking at attribute powerscan
    execInitAttrib: init powerscan attribute
        on hero_3 of template microwave (microwave)

  • Post any sections that have errors or traceback messages in them (search for error and traceback in the file). A traceback message will be several lines telling where the problem was in the script files and then the exception message. It is a good idea to post a line or two before the traceback as well. Something like the following
    

    MLOG_WatchDamage: error in Object_GetAttr('eye_minor4', 'minForce'), Object_Exists('eye_minor4')=0
       words=['04:43:14.01:', 'FF:', 'Damage:(eye_minor3)', '', '(resolve)', 'dmg:', '47,', 'stun', 'time:', '0,', 'KB:', '6450\012'] MLOG_DAMAGE_PREVIOUSLINE=['04:43:14.01:', 'FF:', 'Damage:(eye_minor3)', '', 'eye_minor4', '(calc', 'pwr)dmg:', '33,', 'stun', 'pct:', '0,', 'KB:', '4500\012']
    Traceback (innermost last):
      File "C:\Program Files\Games\Freedom Force vs The 3rd Reich\.\ffx3\missions\scripts\mlogreader.py", line 722, in OnMLOG_Read
        MLOG_Read()
      File "C:\Program Files\Games\Freedom Force vs The 3rd Reich\.\ffx3\missions\scripts\mlogreader.py", line 768, in MLOG_Read
        found = MLOG_WatchDamage(thisLine)
      File "C:\Program Files\Games\Freedom Force vs The 3rd Reich\.\ffx3\missions\scripts\mlogreader.py", line 1930, in MLOG_WatchDamage
        if ( knockback - Object_GetAttr(target, 'minForce') ) < 0:
    SystemError: NULL result without error in call_object

  
  
• Post ff.err For Errors right at startup
  When an error occurs right when the game starts (before a mission has started up, the game sends some error information to a file called ff.err, located next to the other log files. It is almost always short and it will tend to be empty after the game has run a short while because later errors are sent to script.log. Anyway, if this file is not empty, post it, too.
  
  

Some of those suggestions will seem pretty basic and some will not, but they will generally let the people who try to help you diagnose what is going on faster and in fewer post-and-reply steps here on the board. That can be especially handy as people sometimes have a little time to help with a problem, but if they can't figure out what it is and have to ask for more info, they may not be able to look into it again right away after the new info is posted. The more and better information you get out in the first place, the more likely someone will be able to help you out the first time through.

[stumpy]

Okay, feel free to add to the thread.  Some people had significant problems that I think mostly were fixable with a clean powers.dat, but please don't hesitate to add those questions (and answers!) or new ones to this thread so that others can try them out.

If the old thread is resurrected, I may merge these posts to keep things in one place.

[jmoser]

Okay, I've gotten to the point where the game isn't freezing up every time I try to play it.  Now I'm encountering multiple problems using custom characters in a Rumble Room mission.

I made two custom characters--Hulk and Abomination.  I gave both of them an "invulnerable" attribute, plus one or more of TaskmasterX's combo attributes--"hulk" for Hulk (imagine that) as well as "lesserregeneration plus," and (for Abomination) "strong jumper."

I shut down the game and "branded" both files using the FFX Control Center.  Then I fired the game up again and tried to run them through the M25 AI Generator.  The mission started, but there was no evidence that AI was being computed for either of them.  After a few minutes I ended that mission and started a typical "Battle in the Rumble Room" mission, with me controlling Abomination.  None of the attributes seemed to work.  There was no jumping, no regeneration on Hulk's part, and no apparent invulnerability.  Here's the script.log:

How do you clean up powers.dat?

[Epimethee]

I made two custom characters--Hulk and Abomination.  I gave both of them an "invulnerable" attribute, plus one or more of TaskmasterX's combo attributes--"hulk" for Hulk (imagine that) as well as "lesserregeneration plus," and (for Abomination) "strong jumper."

The negativezoneruler attribute has a syntax error in ffxmulti.py, from what I can see:
'heavylifter' should be preceded by a straight quote, not an accent.

[Epimethee]

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 am reposting this just to make sure the thread is there for people reporting bugs. I am not reposting the entire thread, just the intro by catwhowalksbyhimself and my primer for bug reporting.

Report all bugs here.   For further instructions, see Stumpy's post below.

List of previously reported bugs:

Still live
1.  Superleapers teleporting instead of jumping?  Needs further reports and confirmation.
2.  Groups of characters under M25 AI occasionally just stand around and take a coffee break.
3.  Bleeding state swap is unfinished and needs to be either fixed or removed.
4.  All of things that I coded were never tested and need to be tested and removed if not working and unfixable.
5.  alert: CFastHeap::allocate failed, Out of main memory message, followed by a game-breaking crash.  The cause of this problem is unknown.  It does not appear to happen to all users and not even consistently to those it does.

Fixed for next version
1.  Missing string and attribute.dat entries for Enchanter
2.  Unfinished attribute Sound Absorber activated.

I can help out with some of these since I was probably the reporter...and a bad reporter at a few times   :(.

1)  Using grens hexed Juggernaut for the Hulk mesh, the AI appears to be using superleap, but there are no animations for "jumping", the Hulk just teleports to the new location.
2) The clumps of guys (or at least my clumps of guys) bug wasn't a bug, but instead by a freakish event caused my odd method of systemic character creation.  I gave everyone...everyone!...an attack arc of 120 degrees for all melee attacks.  Well, the AI generator assigns these attacks a an "area" attack and won't use them when friends are near.  Since all the characters in the battle were hand-to-hand guys, they sort of locked up.  They wanted to throw a punch but could not because friendly models were near.  No problem, but interesting for reference.  Thsi wasn't a bug.
5)  I had this problem, but it was solved by Taskmaster X's fix posted on the yahoo group. 

Hope that helps. :thumbup:

[Shazam]

I asked this before but recieved no answer. What happened to the SOLAR STORES attribute?

[TaskMasterX]

Fixed for next version
1.  Missing string and attribute.dat entries for Enchanter
2.  Unfinished attribute Sound Absorber activated.

1. I checked the strings entries and they were there. It was just the entries in attributes.dat that needed fixing. Just want to make sure no extra data gets put in the strings.txt
2. This should be "Unfinished attribute Sound Absorber DE-activated."

Jmoser, Ep, is right, looks like a typo in the ffxmulti.py. I'll dbl-check for any others and make sure it's in the public beta2. Sorry about that.

I asked this before but recieved no answer. What happened to the SOLAR STORES attribute?

Hey Shaz, I don't know what's up with Solar Stores but I see a manual entry, strings.txt lines and ffx.py code for it but nothing in attributes.dat. I checked FFX3.1 and it's the same way. Is this the way you had it set up? Like my combo attributes have all the code and strings but have to be "turned on" by adding the entries to attributes.dat? Have you tried adding solarstores to the attributes.dat and testing it in-game?

[jmoser]

The negativezoneruler attribute has a syntax error in ffxmulti.py, from what I can see:
'heavylifter' should be preceded by a straight quote, not an accent.

Thanks for catching these, but would this really be responsible for causing the problems I'm having?  After all, neither the Hulk nor the Abomination hero files used the "negativezoneruler" attribute.

Yes, it will prevent everything else from working - not to say you won't have other problems with the game, but this is an important one.  The game is basically choking on that error and can't get past it.  Nothing else is getting loaded properly.

The list posted at the top is not the latest one.  That one was wiped out.  This should be the most current one:

2.  ffxmulti.py entry causes system to crash.

After looking at the publicbeta1 ffxmulti.py I didn't see the accent in the negativezoneruler line and I'm not getting this error in my script.log. So, this seems to be happening only to jmoser as we're not seeing this particular error in any of the other script.logs. Jmoser, did you re-type in those lines in ffxmulti.py or edit this file in some other way after installing the publicbeta?

[yell0w_lantern]

I was playing around with my Dryad hero file yesterday and I switched her back to having a projectile Exile attack with a Transmute swap (to Bizarre type). I Ran FFX CC and ran her through the Power ID Generator then took her into a Rumble Room session (Instant Action FFVTTR). Unfortunately, although the new object appeared (for example, lab equipment) the opponent did not disappear, was completely unaffected and continued attacking Dryad.

[Swingman]

Fixed for next version
alert: CFastHeap::allocate failed, Out of main memory message, followed by a game-breaking crash.

Did the CFastHeap problem get solved? Did I miss out on something?
It's certainly great news though.
Is it anything I can fix myself or is it most advisably a matter for people who actually know what they are doing?

Bear with me if the answers to these questions are starring me right in the face, from somewhere on this page. :unsure:

[Shazam]

Thanks for the reply TMX. SOLAR STORES used to be in FFX prior to FFX3.1 and was shown in the manual. Now I can't see it in the manual, which made me think it had been scrapped. The code is in there as you say, but isn't in the attributes DAT it would seem. I never had it setup that way. I believe Epimethee setup all my attributes originally.

Yep, it's just a corrupted powers.dat.  Delete it and rename powers.dat.bak to powers.dat.

I don't know for sure what happened either; there's nothing is the version history file... OK, actually there is no such file (or an exhaustive version at least). I figure it was simply an error due to a bad DAT update; not an unlikely occurence with that cumbersome format. However, there migt be a very good reason why it was removed (Dr. Mike?), so at first glance, I'd tend to say let's wait for FFX 3.3 – which hopefully won't take a year –; maybe you could enable it and run some tests, checking for compatibility with stuff like Battery Powered, Body Aura and Energy Tanks?

Thanks.

[Xenolith]

RE: CFastHeap.

wait a sec, i still had problems after deleting the new file and renaming the old one.  it wasn't until i dl'd taskmaster's fix on the yahoo group that things worked properly again.  now, i may have not shut off my computer after deleting the new file and renaming the old file and the bug lingered. 

[jmoser]

Jmoser, did you re-type in those lines in ffxmulti.py or edit this file in some other way after installing the publicbeta?

Yes, I did some editing using Word.  Unfortunately Word reads single quotation marks differently than Notebook does.  I thought I'd fixed all of those, but apparently I missed one.  Sorry, I should've let you know earlier, and saved you the trouble of consulting your file.  It was clearly my screw-up, not yours.

Okay, so you need the other fix.  Point is, it's in the next version, so it's on the fixed list.

[lugaru]

Probably redundant as heck but yeah, the replacement DAT fixed my problems as well.

Now Im off to break the game! We will see if a 7 Justice Leagers vs a whole bunch of X-Men rematch dosent somehow crash it or uncover some problems...

[TaskMasterX]

I guess the link in the main page of the manual is gone for Solar Stores, but there is a solarstores.htm in the manual folder. The manual just needs the link to it. It should work if you just add it to attributes.dat since I don't think any changes we made to FFX3.2 would affect it.

Just as you said, fixing that tiny typo in the ffxmulti.py seemed to take care of all the problems.  Puts me in mind of that old poem, "all for the want of a horseshoe nail."  Anyway, thanks for the assist.  I haven't run into any problems yet, but if I do y'all will be the first to know.

Okay I  am having trouble with a hero file i edited, i didn't know where to post this so i came here. I created thor and edit his m25a1 file. The characters seems to fight at first then just goes into brain farts. Sometimes i would look into the script.log and it would point out where the syntax error is located and i would fix it. However, this time i dont know how to fix it. Here is the m25ai file and below is the error from my last RR session.

The problem also occurs to other random characters for no reason. I already ran ffxcc and tried different maps same results. OKay I hope this helps in any way.

cosmos, the issue is that you need to use a number value for the priority= parameter. Using 'medium' or 'high' causes these problems. You should use 50 or 100 instead. I think in the AI documentation, it may mention that you can use words instead of values but not for Priority. I'll make sure the AI documentation is updated accordingly.

Okay, this is a new one (for me, at any rate).  I had the game working pretty well for a while.  Then I tried to set up a Rumble Room mission (Skirmish Watch Mode), with Captain America and Iron Man vs. Loki and the Enchantress.  As I started it up, it began the "Loading Objects" sequence, then, when it hit "137 of 141" it just stalled out--completely froze on me.

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.
