A Question for Tchouky or Sithlord

[keo718]

I noticed a slight limitation with the scaling mod. It seems that tckmodel.cfg can have only a maximum file size of 512k. Anything beyond that and you get an error message and it does not work; the characters show up at the default size. Are any of you aware of this or have any idea how one could get around that? Thanks in advance.

I changed the file size to 1024 in my fixed version

[keo718]

How did you do that?

[Jaii der Herr]

it's extremly simple...

 

but at first you should change the file buffer to work correctly.

If you do that you can implement any file size restriktion you want

[Dest]

yeah. I was going to make it so it could handle any file size by using new and delete but I couldnt find anywhere else in the source where they used new/malloc or delete/free so I just made it 1024 for size.

[keo718]

What exactly do you have to do though?

[keo718]

I'm not a coder by the way... so simple details would help.

Q3 is not using dynamical memory. Thats why it's nowere used. Beside the QVM does not support that memory. It's much safer thas way.

Hey Jaii der Herr, do you know how tochange the file size? How do you change the file buffer?

[Dest]

look for the variable buffer.

char * buffer is how I think he had it. Its in a tck struct.

change that to char buffer[1024] then look for tck.buffer and find where it has the 512 size limit and change that 512 to 1024.

 

Or you can just download my fixed version which is in another thread on here.

[Jaii der Herr]

thats how it works...

 

btw:

 

have you testet whith switching models allot?

I think there is an error witch makes them scaled to 1.

That would explain some errors poeple reportet.

 

Or have you changed something else in tck_ScaleModel() ?

Within which file can I find these buffers?

[Jaii der Herr]

line 168 in "bg_public.h"

 

typedef struct

{

qhandle_t saber_glow;

qhandle_t saber_int;

qhandle_t saber_ext;

int serverextended;

tck_ps_t ps[MAX_GENTITIES];

char * buffer;

qboolean bfreg;

} tck_t;

 

to

 

char buffer[1024];

 

 

"g_client.c":

 

line 1133

 

tck.buffer[0] = '\0'

 

line 1141

 

if ( len >= 1024 )

[keo718]

Where can I find the "bg_public.h" file?

[Dest]

No all I changed was taking out the 0.5-1.5 limit and adding correct code for the buffer.

[Dest]

I actually did a memset(tck.buffer,0,1024); instead of tck.buffer[0]='\0'; That way I know the whole buffer is cleared first and I dont have to put a \0 on the end or anything.

[keo718]

Ok, all of these terms are greek to me. Please someone, if you can, give me a step by step process of how to increase the max file size of the tckmodel.cfg file from 512k to maybe 1024k. Please include what files I need to edit, and where I can find the files to edit them. I would greatly appreciate this.

[Jaii der Herr]

More than I have written I cannot do for you...

there are the file names and the lines and what to change...

[Dest]

Why don't you just download my fixed version of the mod that has this?

[keo718]

I did download it. However I still keep getting the same error messages about the file being too big. You said you changed it from 512k to 1024k right?
