naliweapons3's Issues

Existing issues in NWIII original release...

Here is a list of some issues we have found and fixed in our private builds of NWIII, for the case if you consider to release fixed and backward-compatible build of NWIII.

1. NWBoltRifleVIII

• Accessed array out of bounds in function 'BoltStormCrystal.GetHLTarget()'. [Fixed]

2. NWCybotLauncherVIII (Issues in 'Botpack' and 'Engine' scripts).

• "Accessed None" in State 'Botpack.TournamentWeapon.Active' of the 'CybotLauncher'. [Fixed]
• "Accessed None" in State 'Engine.Weapon.DownWeapon' of the 'CybotLauncher'. [Fixed]

3. NWIonizerVIII

• "Accessed None" in function 'Ionizer.PlayStatusChange()'. [Fixed]
• "Accessed None" in function 'IonizerRocket.DeploySatellite()'. [Fixed]

4. NWMultiMissileVIII

• Accessed array out of bounds in function 'MultiMissileMegaBase.FireMissilesBatch()'. [Fixed]

5. NWTheOversurrectorVIII

• "Accessed None" in function 'TheOversurrector.OrganizeWSelection()'. [Fixed]

6. NWWREVIII

• "Accessed None" in function 'WRESoldier.ExplodeSelf()'. [Fixed]
• Spawn Decal fix code causes compilation error in functions: 'WREGrenade.ExplodeX()', 'WREHitEffect.SpawnEffects()', 'WRESoldHitEffect.SpawnEffects()'. [To compile without "constant as variable" hack for bFogZone]

7. NWCoreVIII

• Class 'NWServerSkillKillsSettingsMenuPageInfo' name vs file name mismatch. [Fixed]
• Class 'NWClientSkillKillsSettingsMenuPageInfo' name vs file name mismatch. [Fixed]
• Need to add States 'Active' and 'DownWeapon' into the 'NaliWeapons' class to fix "Accessed None" in the parent classes 'Botpack.TournamentWeapon' and 'Engine.Weapon'. [Fixed]
• Spawn Decal fix code causes compilation error in the following classes: 'NWBodyPiece', 'NWBloodDecal', 'NWWallFX', 'NWDecalGen', 'NaliProjectile'. [To compile without "constant as variable" hack for bFogZone]
• Script bug in class 'NaliWeapons' causes client-side projectile start invalid offset location in some cases (probably if some variables were not replicated properly). [Solution not found, problem doesn't occur with client+server v469b/c]
• Script bug that causes client-side 1-st person view weapon animation to not start in some cases when Fire or AltFire button is pressed. [Solution not found]

8. NWUltimaProtosVIII

• Bug in 'UltimaSolarBirthCorWaveShock' class that produces client-side application runaway loop crash if Player has ViewTarget!=None (this class is being spawned by the oversurrected UltimaProtos weapon). [Fixed, by disabling the code where the crash occurs]
• Oversurrected weapon causes too high server CPU usage in some cases (probably due to frequent calls of "TakeDamage" function for all 'Pawn' actors). [Performance, partly fixed]
• Oversurrected weapon spawns too many effects at the final stage reducing client-side performance significantly. [Performance, not fixed]

9. NWFlameTrackerVIII

• Class 'FlameTLavaGlow' is not destroyed properly in some cases which causes channels spam and the lag for clients. [Fixed, by setting LifeSpan to 30 seconds]
• Projectiles of the oversurrected weapon appear to be always relevant which causes channels overload in some cases. [Not fixed]

10. NWIRPRVIII

• Bug in 'IRPR.TraceFire()' caused too high server CPU usage and network bandwidth usage in some cases when shooting at far distance on the huge maps, e.g., on the map MH-ShootingGuys (that has very large collision size Trigger that reduces "TraceActors" function performance) if to shoot through a 'Tree' 'Decoration' class objects to a far distances (over 50000 units). [Problem was caused by useless extra loops with TraceActors() calls in some cases. Fixed]
• 'IRPRTracerGuide' and 'IRPRTrace' non-optimal replication utilization caused network bandwidth oversaturation in case of shooting at far distances. [Problem was caused by too many visual beam segments for replication. Fixed]

11. NWFreezerVIII

• Oversurrected weapon spawns effects that reduce client-side performance significantly. [Performance, not fixed]
• Script warnings when used in combination with some mod ScriptedPawn classes, such as 'MH-Wolf3Dv5.WolfSS': "Log: FrozenBody MH-Wolf3Dv5.FrozenBody0 (Function NWFreezerVIII.FrozenBody.SetFrozenBody:0052) TweenAnim: No mesh". [Not fixed]

There were few more issues, but at the moment i don't have access to some of my notes where information about those issues were written down. I will add that information here when i get access to them.

Also, there were some of performance issues that we have fixed (e.g., in 'NWCybotLauncherVIII.CybVortex' and in 'NWFlameTrackerVIII.FlameTracker'), but such fixes are not acceptable for public release, for this reason i didn't mention these issues in this list (for the same reason our build is private). Except for oversurrected UltimaProtos where such kind of performance optimizations may be considered acceptable...
