But you merged them together so you can only see the distance if you have gun equipped. That makes no sense. There has to be an option to see the range to target without anykind gun.

but making that range info appear if no gun is there is very easy, next svn change will have that inside.

no idea, I guess the font used doesn't have a % or it's filtered out somewhere behind the function "ScreenMsg".

% cant be drawn :bawling:

Why not? :headscratch:
The % symbol is used in various C++ printing function (like swprintf) to designate a Format Specification. Like %s is the format specification for text. You can use "%%" to display the actual percent sign. Unfortunately, the way JA does those screen messages, we actually run numerous print functions before we actually print anything to the screen. Each time one of those functions run, it looks for more format specification codes, strips them out and replaces them with the content of some data. I suppose you could put "%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%" and if you made it long enough you could eventually get the actual percent symbol, but even then there isn't a guarantee.

Try using the hex code: '\x37'. Or the octal: '\045'.

Isn't hex code 25 equivalent to the % symbol? \x37 results in a '7'. Anyway, using the hex code doesn't seem to work either. The first swprintf command looks like it's converting the \x25 and the space that follows to "% " (that's percent sign and a space) which it then tries to read as a format specification. Odder still, the "\x25 " seems to be forcing the following "%s" format spec to left so when we proceed to the next vcwprintf command, we have a format spec with no variable, which results in the whole string being corrupted. So the final displayed result is something like:
Cover: -7AAAAA

1 Would be nice if END was a toggle

2 so its stance/camo specific. What happens if you got two mercs in front of the enemy and only one of them is prone with camo? Does it affect the enemy globally, or is it calculated per every merc?

https://81.169.133.124/source/ja2/branches/cptmoore/coversystem/Release/ja2_cover_system_v4_release_3204_en.exe

Changes:
* Rewritten the whole cover display system.
* Uses the full screen to show your cover. (doesn't depend on mouse and size anymore)
* Much easier to read code.

I need help with the following:
1. Have a bug where on the lower screen where transparency isn't working correctly (either transparent stuff is drawn several times or the interface makes some problems).
2. The End is now a toggle, though it does NOT refresh automaticly. Is there a way to make it refresh in timer intervals? Like 2 times in a second? Where and how? (Currently you have to press delete to refresh what you see).
3. MAPELEMENT_REACHABLE does not work anymore for me. Some gpWorldLevelData[ sGridNo ].uiFlags values seem not to be correctly read or set (I have MAPELEMENT_REACHABLE not available for like 90% of the map)

rasz

2 so its stance/camo specific. What happens if you got two mercs in front of the enemy and only one of them is prone with camo? Does it affect the enemy globally, or is it calculated per every merc?

You always have one merc selected, (s)he is the one where stance and camo modifiers will be applied.

Bug 1 Images, as you can see, the cover system applies transparent tiles on the cells and when you move the interface (move down the map), the solid tiles get transparent. The tiles are NOT refreshing (the cover tiles or not removed or readded), so it must be some display bug.

Bug 3 Image, those are the only tiles where MAPELEMENT_REACHABLE is set. It should be set on everything that a person/npc can stand on, and everything else shouldn't have it. I want to use it so expensive line of sight tests are not done for tiles which you cant use for cover anyway.

https://81.169.133.124/source/ja2/branches/cptmoore/coversystem/Release/ja2_cover_system_v5_release_3204_en.exe

Changes:
* Worked around the transparency bug. The more transparent tiles, the more visible the bug. So I changed the way "red" or "uncoverable" tiles are beeing displayed.
* Instead of using MAPREACHABLE (which actually doesn't get set without reachability tests), I'm now directly doing destination tests.

Todo:
* I still need to know how I can update the cover display. It is very intensive stuff, and I would like the cover display to change upon certain events (merc changes view angle, grid, stance, weapon... etc) or to update it several times a second. latter is much simplier, but don't know if there is a timer system available inside the code I could use.

Uploaded a youtube video for the next version.

Latest Cover System Version in Action

Additional changes are:
* Cover is automatically displayed on rooftops is displayed if rooftop is visible.

Todo:
* Still need a nice way of refreshing the cover. Pressing the refresh button every time makes not alot of fun. Having lag all the time is no fun either. Maybe gonna implement a nice timer with callback which integrates nicely with JA 1.13.

Changes:
* Cover is automatically displayed on rooftops is displayed if rooftop is visible.
* Update cover display every half a second. Doesn't update when you scroll (solved massive tearing problem).
* "Delete" still forces updates. You can even scroll while force refreshing.


Now I need some people to test it, download the exe and put it into your latest svn-data-checkout. I need the following tests:
* Try it on different maps. (just load your current save games and see if there are any errors)
* Find glitches, small graphical ones (like the one on roof tops, you'll see what I mean).
* Test the camouflague, is it ok since it's pretty strong right now.
* Test the cover stuff, currently bushes and trees really help alot. (maybe some maps have too much vegetation and this makes it hard to see anyone).
* Test it with different mods too, like wildfire.
* Very important: Test for performance. Does your computer run slow while using the new cover display?

In the options.ini it says
; This is currently not implemented, the initial idea was to make you more visible if you have a combat pack and even more visible if you got a back pack. 
; A second weapon would also make you more visible, as well as the length of your gun. I would have approximated all info based on the weight, 
; high weight stuff should automaticly be bigger and thus better visible.
LBE_SIGHT_ADJUSTMENT = FALSE

I think that /guns/ should be accounted by their itemsize for this, because that is derived from their actual length.

Ok, I made smaller changes... 1. LBE settings now works 2. Changed settings, that were TRUE FALSE only, to percentages (so you can apply for yourself how much of an impact you want each setting to have) 3. an empty handed, standing merc with no camo will have a cover of "0" (before he had to be crouched for a cover of 0).

New settings:

gGameExternalOptions.ubStanceEffectiveness = iniReader.ReadInteger("JA2 Tactical Settings", "STANCE_EFFECTIVENESS", 10, 0, 100);
How much the stance influences the view range reduction. Prone will give you 10% (default) view reduction / cover.

gGameExternalOptions.ubLBEEffectiveness = iniReader.ReadInteger("JA2 Tactical Settings", "LBE_EFFECTIVENESS", 50, 0, 100);
Dual welding the longest sniper rifles with full attachements, having a third backup sniper rifle, one combat pack and one backpack will give a 50% (default) sight penalty with the default settings.

gGameExternalOptions.ubMovementEffectiveness = iniReader.ReadInteger("JA2 Tactical Settings", "MOVEMENT_EFFECTIVENESS", 50, 0, 100);
Running around crazy will give you a penalty of up to 50% (default).

Removed settings:
gGameExternalOptions.fMovementSightAdjustment = iniReader.ReadBoolean("JA2 Tactical Settings", "MOVEMENT_SIGHT_ADJUSTMENT", TRUE);
gGameExternalOptions.fStanceSightAdjustment = iniReader.ReadBoolean("JA2 Tactical Settings", "STANCE_SIGHT_ADJUSTMENT", TRUE);
gGameExternalOptions.fLBESightAdjustment = iniReader.ReadBoolean("JA2 Tactical Settings", "LBE_SIGHT_ADJUSTMENT", TRUE);

Great work. I always wondered how much camo and stealth really effect your concealment, and I love the movement penalty feature.
Just one question. Since I need the new SVN revison (and exe) for the new cover system, is there any way this can work with HAM?

This looks great...

Now that I'm just about to start a HAM 3.5 new game...any word on using ja2 1.13 3287 exe svn1203 with HAM 3.5. Will the cover system integrate with HAM suppression by running 3.5 exe? Also trying to figure out if realtime stealth mode needs to be turned off for the cvr system to work? Before I mess with setting up the cvr system into the HAM 3.5 set up that I finally got working...

It appears 1.13 3287 ini has the cover system included, but it appears to be running ham 2.8, and not 3.5 suppression...

danke

HAM 3.5 has its own EXE, so the answer is no - you can't use them together. Either you go with HAM 3.5 and get all its benefits, or you go with 1.13 and get all its benefit (with HAM 2.8 included).

Now that's something I also would like to know its cause! It's pretty annoying bug.

No, you cant have HAM 3.5 with this at the same time. HAM3.5 has separate exe and this is exe-type modification.

Wait, this happens in 1.13 too?!

I was told that this was a HAM 3.6 error! Hmmmmmmmmm. If you can confirm that this happens in 1.13, that gives me a strong clue on what might be causing the issue (it's definitely my fault, in either case).

Thanks for the heads up...I look forward to experiencing all of these new features.

So it looks like the stealth/camo cover system is compatible and integrated with HAM 2.8, just not with 3.5?

The 1.13 3287 exe has both suppression and cvr system included...hmm. Guessing you don't see incompatabilities with both enabled? Thanks again.

Yes yes. I thought for a while it is my fault because I've experienced it in my mod when I merged it with latest SVN code release. So I tried to figure out where I made a mistake in merging because it never happened in my old mod. I look how it behaves in latest standard 1.13 and found out it is there.
Very often it happens to me,when I order a merc to bandage other merc if he needs to walk several tiles.

Bug 1 Images, as you can see, the cover system applies transparent tiles on the cells and when you move the interface (move down the map), the solid tiles get transparent. The tiles are NOT refreshing (the cover tiles or not removed or readded), so it must be some display bug.


Good work on the new display system, it really is much better than that mouse-block area thing. You can check the LOS of all your team members very quickly, great for positioning snipers and the like.

However, having both YOUR and the ENEMY field of view under one button is a bit clunky. I'm usually only interested in one of the two. I'm either positioning people and want to see what they're covering, or I'm sneaking up on enemies and want to see what they're looking at. The overlay is not so pretty that you want to keep it on at all times, so having to cycle [ none -> merc -> enemy -> none ] frequently is annoying.

Btw, the latest SVN (Rev 1205) exe still has that small glitch:

There seems to be a underlying problem with how transparent tiles are displayed in jagged alliance. Interesstingly your bug seems to manisfest itself a bit differently than mine (I see the solid colors ALWAYS on the bottom, never on top).
The only further workaround would be the eliminate, in this case, the red tiles acting as border, as the bug only occurs with the numbers of transparent tiles. However it would be harder to spot those one tiles that should be red but just arent. I guess the current status is the least bad for now.

How about the following..

DELETE -> merc view (will always switch to merc view if currently not active. if currently active it will disable the view)
END -> enemy view (same here just other way around)

We would loose one button again but on a 2D gui it would be best to have two seperate icons for the functionality anyway.

Can't implement the idea yet though because of other duties and no vce installed. If anyone wants to write a patch feel free to do so (too much work until end of february and then probably vacation)

Interesstingly your bug seems to manisfest itself a bit differently than mine (I see the solid colors ALWAYS on the bottom, never on top).

Interesting, I thought it might have something to do with the turn-based bar that is normally shown in that area. It's weird that we get such different results, maybe we're using a different exe? Mine says 3287 (straight from SVN 1205).

How about the following..

DELETE -> merc view (will always switch to merc view if currently not active. if currently active it will disable the view)
END -> enemy view (same here just other way around)

We would loose one button again but on a 2D gui it would be best to have two seperate icons for the functionality anyway.

Sounds great, wasn't it like this before? I wouldn't worry about buttons as there are plenty of ctrl/alt/shift combos left.

Anyway, good luck. But you should really make this a GABBI-only function, sneaking feels like cheating now. Very Happy

After playing a long time now I saw that problem too... exactly as you described it. Just wanted to confirm it here in the thread.

Ok, after getting some more feedback, i can confirm that the chance to hit bug is actually coming from my display cover system.

Changes:
* Removed a line of code which fiddled with chance to hit calculation.

THIS IS UNTESTED! Please someone try it out first!

Changes:
* Removed a line of code which fiddled with chance to hit calculation.
* Cover Display now works correctly with multiple enemies.
* Cover Display has no problems with stance anymore.

The last two bugs were created by speed optimizations, where I desperatly tried to gain speed no matter what and cached alot of stuff (sometimes at the wrong location in the source code).

Bugs:
* Merc view doesnt work anymore.
