Canopy Valley

Post by Draconisaurus »

Hey folks - the modding in the forums has been a little lite as of late, decided to patch together one of my old de-stress mods for release. It's nothing huge, very simple really, but hopefully gives something new and somewhat fun to have a go at. Thanks to machf for the widescreen FOV setting -

We all need a break. But in my case, it will have to wait until tomorrow in the afternoon...

Not bad, Drac. Sort of reminds me of the first carnivores game, especially near the shoreline. It's been crashing
on me here n' there, but I'm assuming it's because I was running it in the demo engine. Might try it again using
CE, but I oh so like using atx's invul cheat, especially since I was near constant death while playing the anniversary
level.

Carnivores was def. on my mind as I made this, although I've never played those games. 8) I am betting CE will run it better.

It doesn't work. GeomAdd reports errors which probably indicate this needs a specific version of CE or something... you should mention it if that's the case.

It does not appear he used GUIApp CE to make the scn. Resaving it in TresEd still give the GeomAdd issue and if I save it without the "SCN partition" option, GUIApp starts spitting out errors like:

Code: Select all

Failed to find 80A9DC71 in save file!
Failed to find 84590DD6 in save file!
Failed to find 736A8D76 in save file!

Failed to find C5B0D1AF in save file!
Failed to find B2B7E139 in save file!
For thousands of lines (along with other ones). It is after loading the level fine so no idea what he did. Still doesn't explain that weird GeomAdd issue.

This is what GeomAdd reports:
WARNING: Missing instance "AZTEC", used in "TrnPlacement-00", value MezoSpec
WARNING: Missing instance "Dinos", used in "START_Existence", value QuestNode
WARNING: Missing instance "ACU", used in "START_Existence", value Faction

Looks like he used some Squirrel scripts but forgot something...

machf those "errors" are known and meant to be there, not squirrel script. However I have no clue what Tatu's stuff is about. I'm not aware of a CE-version needed to run this.

Never checked the level using GeomAdd. I have played it inside atx's environment and although it
crashes occasionally, it does load and is playable. Yet, as said, the occasional crashes can begin to
annoy you some.

Hmmm, nope... I just tried it with ATX instead of CE, but it only crashes right after loading now (with CE it crashes right before finishing loading).

And no, reducing the Draw Distance doesn't help, either.

If you walk along the shoreline then cut into the land area it doesn't crash for a while, but
if you walk directly to your right upon loadup, it crashes hard. I know some of the $models
have that dummy map with mipmap=false and some do not. But, I don't think that's it (the
problem). * I removed the errors, fixed the mipmap problem and removed bool planted from
a few scripts, but still the same.

I actually like the layout of this, I wish to hell it wasn't screwed up.

@Edit: It's the grasses that are causing the crashes -

The grasses? That's odd. What's actually wrong with them? (Yes, deleting them allows the program to load, thanks, Rebel. However, it crashed much later, for some other reason...)
