Thanks for this latest glenn!
I am getting the same thing as RABIZO where the game crashes right before my plane crashes.
In other words, the plane is diving, just about to hit the ground, and B.A.T. crashes with the java exception msg:
happens with different maps and different planes.

Code: [Select]

Clive,
I looked over your log.lst. I see numerous ship related errors before any mission is flown. Once in the mission (hipper1.mis) there are a number of "Donbass" building errors, which I'm not sure are relevant here because the issue appears to be the inability to load a texture.

Back to the ships. They involve bigShipGeneric.class, which I had present also in v1.5. It's the same, except for some small alterations, and is based on the file Mike had gone over and pronounced as reliable. The line numbers the Java error notifications point to do not involve any of my own changes. And so I'm a bit puzzled.

As you know, I'm no Java guru, and because I'm still stuck with B.A.T. 4.0 the whole matter of triggers is beyond my ken in terms of code. And I can't fly tests myself. This is part of the stressful aspect of this project. Perhaps I've gotten too ambitious.

If this were still the good ol' days, when there were more keen modders hanging about, I could probably team up with a more capable coder. While I do get some helpful assistance when I bleat loudly enough, for the most it's a bit of a lonely place I inhabit in the effects side of things.

[cbradbury]

The donbass building errors seem to be linked to the house classfiles - they disappear if you disable the three classfiles in your pack. I don't understand the trigger errors, either. I might swap out the bigship folder from 1.5 as an experiment - I'll let you know. Failing that, I'll just drop back to 1.5 when I use a ship trigger in a mission.

Update: use 1.5 bigship generic folder with 1.6 and triggers are fine, and not one ship error in the log. Would I lose much in the way of new effects running 1.6 all the time in this way?

[Frankiek]

the plane crash followed by a ctd is clearly indicated in the log and concerns the do explosion method in the aircraft class. The line indicated is the one related to explosions over water it so maybe there is some conflict with another mod that has changed the standard BAT aircraft class.

[WxTech]

The errors:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError
   at com.maddox.il2.objects.air.Aircraft.doExplosion(Aircraft.java:696)
   at com.maddox.il2.objects.air.Aircraft.msgEndAction(Aircraft.java:628)

indeed do involve Aircraft.doExplosion(). In this method I've added a check for the number of aircraft engines, which Explosions.class uses to determine the fireball/smoke effects to use upon crashing. I've also added in this method a new explosion effect randomly generated if the plane is TypeBomber. This all works fine in B.A.T. 4.0.

The introduction of this new variable for the number of engines requires that Explosions.class (in the main effects folder) and this Aircraft.class (in the full throttle smoke folder) must be both used together.

If this proves to be an irreconcilable issue, I suppose I could create versions of these two classes omitting this engine check business...


But it would be worth knowing which game versions are impacted.

Hi!

Just tested in BAT 4.2.2 hf 4....seem all fine and very nice to see!

No bugs ctd or stutter....

Tested FPS using The Black Death track:

Frames: 4747 - Time: 154281ms - Avg: 30.769 - Min: 14 - Max: 56

Here my log...I add it due some messages about smokes:

I can only say THANKS for this great collection!

[Fly!]

OK got it going by trying different folders. Must've been my mistake.
Anyway, thanks again4 your work Glenn.

[Whiskey_Sierra_972]

Sorry to point elsewhere...but I don't understand if I have to add those lines to conf.ini or not:

...

- Added two new [Mods] section entries for conf.ini, to control if light flak (default: off = 0) and heavy flak (default: on = 1) illumination is to be invoked.

LightFlakIllumination=0
HeavyFlakIllumination=1

...

[WxTech]

Walter,
Yes, add those two flak illumination lines to the [Mods] section in conf.ini. They are made use of by the main effects class, Explosions.class.

You can set one or both to 0 or 1, as you desire. If these lines are not present, flak illumination defaults to 0 (off).

Note that if an entry is made in conf.ini but one's game does not support it, no matter at all. It will simply be ignored. (And if an entry is misspelled, it will also be ignored.)

[Whiskey_Sierra_972]

Got it!

Thanks!

[shardana]

Hi Glen, Thank you, everything is working just fine on BAT 4.2.2, really astonishing! pure immersion.

[WxTech]

Anyone reading this should try a napalm drop. The FM-2 with 2X napalm cannisters will do nicely to highlight the new 'stock' effect--augmented, of course--conpared to its prior incarnation. It consumes much less in resources due to a smaller particle count, and so is less likely to cause momentary disappearances due to 'overload.'

If your game has CY6's new napalm effect installed, certain cannisters will generate a very different effect, with advancing fire 'tendrils' and terminal bursts of explosions via a 2lb (or 2kg) bomblet class. I have not included those effects here, although some time ago I did any my own treatment. I was never fully satisfied due to those explosions going off at the ends of the advancing fire tendrils. They just looked wrong, to be occurring all the time, even on bare ground.
