Bug report for 0.20

[Lazaroth]

Played around with the game today and here's the thoughts/issues I found:

• Should sounds be played when the game is paused? E.g. "Sound: wind low1 chance:5"
• I've noticed for a long time that the placement when using "coc" is off quite a bit (e.g. in Balmora it's on the other side of town). It's usually not a problem, but when using it for going to an indoor cell sometimes it places me I don't even know where, such as "Kogoruhn, Charma's Breath".
• The loading bar seems to not include the shiny water. When e.g. using coc vivec for the first time it first loads everything, but as soon as I start looking around the game lags heavily for probably 5-10 s while loading what I believe is the surrounding water. At least that is what I think the console shows.
• This one I've reported before. The loading bar goes down before it disappears,
  e.g. 0%->100%->50%->disappears.
• When walking the Red mountains I found a couple of places where the seams aren't seamless as they are in vanilla. Here is a place by a bridge just north west of Dagoth Ur.

I don't believe so.

I've noticed for a long time that the placement when using "coc" is off quite a bit (e.g. in Balmora it's on the other side of town). It's usually not a problem, but when using it for going to an indoor cell sometimes it places me I don't even know where, such as "Kogoruhn, Charma's Breath".

This is probably due to the game putting you at 0,0,0 in the specified cell. Interior cells aren't always designed around the origin, so you can get placed way off from everything (could probably be fixed by centering on the cell's extents, rather than origin). A number of external cells also use the same name (e.g. "Balmora"), so it's possible OpenMW is picking a different cell to center on than vanilla.

I knew there was something off with the terrain heightmap. https://bugs.openmw.org/issues/274 Unfortunately I don't know who's familiar with the heightmap code.

Can you take a screenshot of the world map so we can see exactly where this place is?

[Lazaroth]

I can do better than that:
x: 19932.85
y: 80478.45
z: 14899.80

Or, coc "Kogoruhn, Charma's Breath", go outside and south up a very steep path and take the second real path to the left and you'll come to a bridge. The east side of that bridge.

I have found the spot but can't reproduce the problem.

I switched resolution from windowed 1024x768 to fullscreen 1920x1080 and while the problem still existed, it looked different.

I added a bug report to the tracker with the proper behavior for the CenterOnCell (COC) command, if anyone wants to give it a go:

Spoiler: Show

Description of the CenterOnCell (coc) function:
The "coc" function drops the player in a specified cell, either exterior or interior. The following is a description of that behavior.

If exterior:
It selects the most Eastern column of cells matching the input string and then picks the most Northern one.
It then places the PC in the center of this cell facing the positive Y direction (North) on the surface of the terrain regardless of whether it is beneath or intersecting other statics or beneath the water line.
This is why when you enter: coc "wilderness", it puts the PC into the right most "wilderness" cell at (-15,-8), even though it is the lowest of all cells explicitly named "wilderness" in the CS. Also, this is why when you enter: coc "Molag Mar" it puts the PC underwater AND beneath the models of Molag Mar facing North.

If interior:
It selects the Door Marker based on the order in which the Doors themselves were placed, with the first door placed having its corresponding Door Marker be the chosen one for the COC function. Since the Door objects are usually not in the same cell as their Door Marker this leads me to believe that the door markers contain this data or are in some way part of the Door object's record. To repeat, it doesn't matter in which order the door markers were placed, only the Door objects themselves.
Like exteriors, the function always inserts the PC facing the positive Y direction (not necessarily North this time) at the door marker.

Found this sound in "Andrano Ancestral Tomb", blocking the path:

Yep, I meant to report that as I ran in to it while making the video for 0.20, but I forgot to. It seems some "objects" have collision that are not supposed to and are not even supposed to be physical objects.
