Useful changes to your Gamesys

Removing the Joints and Jointstate properties from ElecWallLight -468 would be helpful, because so many times the Joints property Halt will somehow get set to Continue and it affects the WallSpotLight's joint between the light fixture and the bracket. When I go into a FM that has the WallSpotLight, the bracket will be wagging back and forth like a dog's tail. Technically speaking, none of the light objects needs the Joints/Jointstate properties as far as I know.

Here is the DML code for Corsair's suggestions, although this is my implementation of them:

Code:

I don't see that myself. Perhaps you have a mod installed which includes a jointed version of that model. I have in the past seen a Transformer object wagging its antenna, but that may have been a deliberate experiment.

Here's the DML code for removing the joints properties:

Code:

DML1

-ObjProp "ElecWallLight" "cfgtweqjoints"
-ObjProp "ElecWallLight" "sttweqjoints"

To keep things one place, here's the first DML I posted with the above two added in, plus a thing to remove collisions from the will o'wisp:

I'll have to check, but as far as I know I still have the original spotlight model. The dml will help because I have to modify every fan mission's gamesys file to remove the joints properties.

**john9818a** · 12th Jun 2021 11:55

I don't see that myself. Perhaps you have a mod installed which includes a jointed version of that model.

I found a walspot.bin in my obj folder from November 25, 2005. I'm not sure if it is EP2 or not though.

I have in the past seen a Transformer object wagging its antenna, but that may have been a deliberate experiment.

I made that one in one of my mssions, and I believe you made the jointed antenna stand alone object for me for another mission.

**zappenduster** · 31st Dec 2021 10:11

I removed the unnecessary StdDoor script and the translation property from the practice dummy.

Strange result: DromEd reports that the object has an "internal door flag". Never heard about that, and there's nothing about doors anymore in the properties of that object. Any idea?

not sure. do any of the archetypes ancestors still have a Door property? is dromed reporting this message about the training dummy archetype, or a concrete object inheriting from it? if you can quote the exact message, i can look it up.

It is for some concrete objs and the message is/was WARNING: object x had internal door flag set but had no door property, flag cleared

It was strange because I removed the door properties and the script from the archetype and the concrete objects. After all the training dummy isn't under the door archetype.

But nevermind, I deleted the corresponding objects and the message didn't show up anymore when I put "fresh" dummies in the map.

**vfig** · 2nd Jan 2022 13:19

so, the physics model for a door has a flag to indicate if it belongs to a door or not (as doors get special handling for collisions and so on). that specific message only exists in newdark, but no doubt by "internal door flag" it is referring to this flag on the physics model.

my educated guess is that in olddark a bug existed: an object that once had (or inherited) the door property — which will cause the door flag to be set on its physics model — and then had the door property removed would not have the door flag cleared again (causing problems of some sort). and so this warning message is telling you that newdark is checking for this situation and clearing the door flag to avoid problems.

so my read is that the message is not so much "warning: this is bad!" but "warning: this doesnt make sense; so i fixed it. but better not to do that in future, just in case."

removing the door property from the archetypes before creating the concrete object will avoid the warning. another way to avoid the warning, if you already had a concrete object, would be to remove the door property and set physics>model>type to None (to remove its physics model). and then add the physics>model>type property again (to set up a fresh new physics model).

**zappenduster** · 3rd Jan 2022 03:31

OK thanx for your answer, I didn't think of the the "Physics" property and therefore didn't check it.

And yes. as I wrote, I deleted the corresponding objects and the message didn't show up anymore when I put "fresh" dummies in the map.

Anyway, to get back to the topic, my suggestion is to remove these door properties in the gamesys for FMs. I think this function has only been used in the training mission where the dummy disappears in the ground.

When looking throgh new_config_vars.txt I noticed a section mentioning rope/vine lengths are not calculated correctly. There's a config var to fix it globally (belongs in cam_ext.cfg), but it also mentions a property change so FM authors can make sure the lengths in that FM are correct regardless of the cam_ext options:

This DML code has been added:

Code:

DML1
//Rope and Vine length corrections
ObjProp "RopeArrowRope" "PhysRope"
{
	"Desired Length" 30.00
	"Length" 0.00
	"Deployed" FALSE
	"Calc Correct Len" TRUE
}

ObjProp "PlacedRope" "PhysRope"
{
	"Desired Length" 30.00
	"Length" 0.00
	"Deployed" TRUE
	"Calc Correct Len" TRUE
}

ObjProp "Vine8" "PhysRope"
{
	"Desired Length" 8.00
	"Length" 0.00
	"Deployed" TRUE
	"Calc Correct Len" TRUE
}

ObjProp "Vine12" "PhysRope"
{
	"Desired Length" 12.00
	"Length" 0.00
	"Deployed" TRUE
	"Calc Correct Len" TRUE
}

ObjProp "Vine16" "PhysRope"
{
	"Desired Length" 16.00
	"Length" 0.00
	"Deployed" TRUE
	"Calc Correct Len" TRUE
}

ObjProp "Vine20" "PhysRope"
{
	"Desired Length" 20.00
	"Length" 0.00
	"Deployed" TRUE
	"Calc Correct Len" TRUE
}

Concrete objects will have this property set directly, so the above change won't affect anything that's already been created.

The full version of the gamesys changes:

Another useful feature of the DML loading system is that if we just use "+" to add stim source, it won't make a duplicate if source is already present. I'm not sure how much of the existing source it checks (e.g. if it just checks the stimulus type or if it also compares other parameters), but we can use "++" if we really do want duplicates.
