Happy Birthday Ace!

Btw, you never answered my question about changing the case of the "openmw" folder for settings files to "OpenMW". Is there any way you could do that?

Windows FS is not case sensitive. If you want to you can rename it on your own.

Yes, I know that. I'd just like to point out that most programs using that space create folders with proper casing during install or first run, not folders with all lower case. It' would look more professional, and I'd think it'd be really easy to change.

Or, is it openmw because Linux wouldn't like OpenMW?

I could just package that one for now, even though the web redist installer should be able to install it.
d2dx9_43.dll
I don't know where this should come from, but it doesn't come with direct x 9 as installed from the ms website (or from a couple of old dx9 games I have lying around with an offline installer).

Richard.
Sorry for resurrecting a post a few pages back (just started reading the forums again) but this issue has been present for some time now. I got around it by installing the DirectX SDK.

Bug #738: OnDeath only works with implicit references
Implicit reference:

If ( OnDeath)
... do something when the actor to whom this script is attached dies
Endif

That worked before.

Explicit references:

If ( vivec_god -> onDeath )
... do soemthing when Vivec dies, no matter to what this script is attached to.
Endif

That did not work before.
Feature #98: Render Weapon and Shield <-- is this only 3rd person? Does it apply to NPCs?
Yes, 3rd person only. 1st person mode does not work yet. In theory the 3ed person mode also affects NPCs. But since we don't have combat AI yet, they will never pull their weapons.

Would require special code for both Linux and Windows. Not in favour of it. Windows is an ugly bloody mess anyway. A lower case directory name will hardly make it worse.

Wrote those as:

Code: Select all

- Implemented weapon and shield rendering for 3rd person
- Implemented OnDeath script instruction for explicit references
That ok enough? Also, can I bug about the known issues again? Are those the same? (have we still not fixed Polish? :( )

Was just about to post ;)

Regarding known issues:

They should be the same (assuming that we can get rid of these sound problems).

And yes, these look okay. We don't have a fix for the Polish version. Basically, the translators fucked up and created broken records. We are not sure how to properly deal with them and that only persons owning the Polish version can work on it properly makes it even harder.
