Yay! Great resource :). Show-off forum though? :P

It's fine, I'll move it when I actually get a resource section up ;)

@Steve: Thanks for this! Care to add a riibbon to the projectile? I'm still struggling to make mine work...

Found a crash caused by RefreshWeaponHUD not displaying the ammoAmount if a non-ammo weapon is the first one loaded at startup and then the player switches to an ammo-using weapon. No crash if first weapon loaded is an ammo-user. Makes no sense but hey, we're all used to that. :P

Fix posted in resource, also suggest fix goes into main repo.

 

function clientCmdRefreshWeaponHUD(%amount, %preview, %ret, %zoomRet, %amountInClips)
{
   if (!%amount)
   {
      //AmmoAmount.setVisible(false);//yorks bad! 
      //causes a crash if this weapon is the default and you change to an other weapon
      AmmoAmount.setText("");
   }
   else
   {
      AmmoAmount.setVisible(true);
      AmmoAmount.setText("Ammo: " @ %amount @ "/" @ %amountInClips);
   }

@gibby This is how I handle ribbons.

A crash? I think we should try to make the script API as crash-resistant as possible. Any chance you could see what's happening in the engine to allow it to crash? A minimal example script would also be appreciated :).

@buckmaster

Seems to crash looking for a valid character in gfx/gFont.h. Only happens if there is no ammoAmount to show and thus ammoAmount in scripts/client/client.cs is hidden. And it only crashes if the first weapon on startup is non-ammo. Loading an ammo-wpn first and then switching back and forth between ammo and non-ammo weapons is fine.

// Update the Ammo Counter with current ammo, if not any then hide the counter. 
function clientCmdSetAmmoAmountHud(%amount, %amountInClips)
{
   if (!%amount)
      AmmoAmount.setVisible(false);
   else
   {
      AmmoAmount.setVisible(true);
      AmmoAmount.setText("Ammo: " @ %amount @ "/" @ %amountInClips);
   }
}

 

gfx/gFont.h

inline bool GFont::isValidChar(const UTF16 in_charIndex) const
{
   if(mRemapTable[in_charIndex] != -1)//dies here
      return true;
 
   if(mPlatformFont)
      return mPlatformFont->isValidChar(in_charIndex);
 
   return false;
}

 

I'll post the full stack - but if I'm honest I just like make gaemz and don't understand what makes them go. ;)

So, isValidChar() doesn't like null?
