Bad Files in Sins?

Added another missing soundData entry for sound "WEAPON_PHASECAPITALWAVEMEDIUM_MUZZLE_ALT1". There should be antry for this sound in SoundEffects.sounddata which is referenced from three of the Phase entities.

Edit: Changed do to next post

Yep, the funny thing is they have the actual ogg file for that sound. It's just not mapped in the SoundEffects.soundData file.

Oh Thanks I didn't look 

effect
    name "WEAPON_PHASECAPITALWAVEMEDIUM_MUZZLE"
    fileName "Weapon_PhaseCapitalWaveMedium_Muzzle.ogg"

effect
    name "WEAPON_PHASECAPITALWAVEMEDIUM_MUZZLE_ALT1"
    fileName "Weapon_PhaseCapitalWaveMedium_Muzzle_Alt1.ogg"

Edit: Need all versions fixed for this 1. ENT and DIP use same file.

For GameEventSound:CannonUnderConstruction "UI_COMMON_CANNONBUILT" I copied the following effect and all its needed lines

effect
     name "UI_COMMON_DEFAULTNOTICE"
     fileName "UI_Common_DefaultNotice.ogg"
-->

effect
     name "UI_COMMON_CANNONBUILT"
     fileName "Common_CannonBuilt.ogg"

The Opti mod fixes most of the mesh issues. Just pull the mesh files from there. I didnt look through the asteroids, map objects, or all of the structure meshes yet.

Same with the particles. There were many particle files calling for textures that did not exist, and there were a few typo's calling for a DDS file when in fact the texture was a TGA file. I dont remember which ones they were. Ill have to look at the vanilla reference files again. That is also why i converted all of the particle textures to DDS.

Has anyone looked in the Pipeline effects folder for errors, and typos?, or the Window folder yet?

Good Job catching this BTW

Thanks Major but are not the TSOP meshes optimized. While I do use them I wanted pure mesh files to fix the Reference Files.

Well I guess I have to look at all the texture reference as well. Take a look at... DebrisPhaseCapitalShipBattleship.mesh DebrisPhaseCapitalShipCarrier.mesh DebrisPhaseCapitalShipColony.mesh EffectMesh_GreenBlock.MESH EffectMesh_PushHand.MESH EffectMesh_RadiationBomb-Buff.MESH This is going to take a while.

Bad locations for the textures fixed then looked for the textures in the root and they don't exist

EffectMesh_AntimatterDetonate.MESH No Particle found, redundant?

EffectMesh_EvesiveManeuvers.MESH  linked from CapitalAbility_EvasiveManeouversActivate.particle

EffectMesh_Lightcones.MESH No Particle found, redundant?

EffectMesh_TargetingUplink.MESH linked from CapitalAbility_TargetingUplinkActivate.particle

EffectMesh_WeaponJammer.MESH   linked from CapitalBuff_WeaponJam.particle

EffectMesh_humanbody.MESH No Textures & No Particle found, redundant?

EffectShip_PhaseSpyShip.MESH No textures links to ENTRYVEHICLE_SUBVERSIONSHIP.entity

RuinedPlanetAfterNuke.MESH No linked files found, redundant?

Planets

All with bad texture locations

• Planet_Artifact.mesh
• Planet_Desert_0.mesh & 1-2-3
• Planet_Ice_0.mesh & 1
• Planet_Terran_0.mesh & 1-2-3
• Planet_Volcanic_0.mesh & 1-2-3

Planet Modules with bad mesh name

• PlanetModule_PhaseOrbitalCombatLaboratory
• PlanetModule_PhaseOrbitalFleetCommandCenter
• PlanetModule_PhaseOrbitalNonCombatLaboratory
• PlanetModule_PhaseOrbitalPhaseGate
• PlanetModule_PsiOrbitalAntiMatterRecharger
• PlanetModule_PsiOrbitalCannon
• PlanetModule_TechOrbitalHangarDefense
• PlanetModule_TechOrbitalHangarDefenseAntiAirGuns
• PlanetModule_TechOrbitalTradePort

Orbital Markets No linked files found, redundant? (no above, aura or center)

• PlanetModule_PsiOrbitalMarket
• PlanetModule_PhaseOrbitalMarket
• PlanetModule_TechOrbitalMarket

Found another couple of oddities:

Gameplay.constants: note the semi-colon at the end of the decimal value. I've not seen that in any other file.

enemyDPSInOrbitBodyISquadOwnerBuildRateScalar -.111111;

SoundEffects.sounddata: note the extra tick ` at the end

fadeInTime 0.0`

Thanks again ZRus

I looked through all the mesh files up to Rock so far. Fixed all there errors I could find. Then I thought I would compare my files to the Majors TSOP files for mesh points and low and behold, it was match after match. Here I thought those meshes were optimized lower poly counts.

Didn't catch this one though - Frigate_TechUtility1.mesh   texture TGA --> DDS. I did find a few more and will finish the mesh folder ASAP. Im going to test removing the 2nd set of empty materials on these

Frigate_PhaseEnvoy.mesh 2 sets of textures and 1 is empty

Frigate_PsiColony.mesh 2 sets of textures and 1 is empty

Frigate_PsiEnvoy.mesh 2 sets of textures and 1 is empty

Man, that little animation you put in there myfist0 had me in stitch's . its a cracker.

Nice work by the way. Will help if I can, though I don't really know how.

Here is a detailed look at what we found so far

FixedFilesChangeLog.txt

The external link in the OP now links to the change log.

Another couple of files to look at is......" AbilityWorthCause.entity " and " BuffWorthyCauseSelf.entity "

In both files It looks like this:

effectInfo
    effectAttachInfo
        attachType "Center"
    smallEffectName "WorthyCause"
    largeEffectName "WOrthyCause"

The only effect in the particle file is "WorthyCause".

Thanks.

Double check me on this but there's a missing entry in the "SoundEffects" file in Entrenchment. It is in the Vanilla Sins version of this file though.
