Fuck. Center ballsockets now lose their collsion box AND smartsnap grid. I know it is the collision box too because I have a inboard hud which tells me world angle and position, collision box surface area and client netgraph. The ballsocket center props never show up and fall through world. It does wonders for adv ballsocket though. It saved Harbringer's tank.

Can you have a checkbox to disable ghosts? that would at least help on the ghost problem...

You can set it to show % of ghost, just change it to 0.

I cant save or delete. I right click to ghost the item, but when I click save nothing happens or pops up.

I'm not sure what you mean by center ballsockets, and constraints don't have physics objects so I'm even more confused.

Did you enter something for the name of the file? and check the console for errors or notifications.

[Concept]

Yea I entered a name for the file, and gave it a description.

Is there a mirror to the file since my Tortoise SVN is severely messed up.

Uninstall it and install a good client, like Slik.

No mirrors, so that there wont be a bunch of different versions floating around.

Huh? Open the console with the tilde key ~ after you try saving and see if it says anything pertaining to AD2. You may have to enable the developer console in the options menu.

The ballscket center tool I mean.

I tested the tool and it duplicated without any problems. The problem you report still doesn't make any sense.

[mn_chaos]

the ballsocket center tool when used between two props or prop and world when duped with advdupe2 will dupe sagging ballsockets that do not correctly constrain the two entity together. (For example, if I constrain two plates with the ballsocket center tool with x,y and z set to 90/-90, the tool dupes them with sagging constraints and certainly DOESNT spin with the correct restraint input in the first place. This occurs with world too. I hope that explained the matter better.

[-TB-]

I just need to know the exact values for every option on the tool, cause I did what you said and I'm not getting anything that comes close to spinning. Xrotmin set to 90 Xrotmax set to -90 and same for y and z with nothing else checked. Just out of curiosity do you have TB's duplicator installed?

[Anticept]

I've added you to friends on steam -TB-, I'd like to talk about integrating AD2 and making it part of wire...









Just kidding. But seriously, if this addon works, I see no reason to keep AD1 in wire, and just bridging it to your repo with an svn:external. I would like to ask permission though, if you disappear or stop maintaining it, that the wireteam would be able to take over.

EDIT: What, no credit to TAD2020 for his original Adv Dupe? :P

Failure posted:

That's great.
Finally I can have this useful thingy without the god damned wire.

We've never had AD1 rely on wire. The only reason it was ever packaged alongside wire is because TAD2020 was also developing wiremod, and our subversion repository was a convenient place to put it. /shrug

No. I removed your old duplicator as soon as you released this.

You will need to upload a couple of the files that are having the problem and post the link to them, then I'll get Donovan to look into it.

Still need exact steps on how to reproduce the problem. If I can't reproduce it I can't fix it.

[Calypso2300]

I'm having a problem myself....
anything I try to spawn with AD2 has a wierd glitch-out when I try to walk on it..
my perspective keeps bobbing up and down like I'm falling through the prop but the prop is trying to force me to stay above it. when it gets really bad, my perspective flickers underground.
as far as I can tell, I'm actually walking on it fine, but the perspective is screwy.
I've been assuming that the tool is parenting with most of the constraints borked and refusing to leave the parenting alone.

this happens for both AD1 and AD2 contraptions. frozen or otherwise.

Server I'm experiencing it on is a SB2 server, but I don't know how much difference that makes.
happens with all settings I try it on.

Paste at original position - On
Paste with Constraints - On
All other settings - Off

oddly, whenever I open a contraption, it resets the settings so that Paste at original position is off, and Paste with Parenting is On.

I have no solutions, I'm up to date on AD2, but I don't know about the server itself. I'll test it on singleplayer and get back to you...

[-TB-]

Are you trying to walk on it while it's frozen after pasting? And does unfreezing it and walking on it help?
I have seen this bug due to that gmod bug that causes smart snap to disappear if so.

If that's not the case do you have some kind of prop walking mod or player mod installed?

If none of those send me the dupe and tell me what I need to paste it.

[Calypso2300]

ah, useful advice :) thanks.
unfreezing then refreezing the props resulted in the glitching stopping.

this is great for most applications, but when I'm trying to continue working on my frozen space station...its a pain. and everyone and their mum on the server will cry lag and let slip the bans of war.
hopefully an update will remove the need but I have at least got a stopgap solution now :)

[-TB-]

Yeah its a gmod bug, there's nothing I can do about it. There is an option on the tool in the experimental section that is a work around for the problem.

Edit* Its the option to disable Dupe spawn protection.

Hmm, I cannot extract the files out of the zip, it gives an error. It seems that the files may have just got corrupted some how when you first back them up.

"Unknown method in car.txt" says that for all the files and then
"No files to extract"

[mn_chaos]

Still have the problem. Step by step instructions on how to replicate the horrid socket duping.

Spawn 1 default phx plate(any size will do it). Rotate it so it is aligned north.

Take out the center ballsocket toll, turn rotation constraint ON, and set x,y and z min and max to -90 and 90 respectively.

Click the prop and then the ground.

Duplicate and paste. What happens to me is the plate sags (it does the same in respect to other props as well) and z seems to have no rotation constraint at all.

[-TB-]

Okay, I did all of this. Is the prop not supposed to rotate at all and just be able to move around? Because that's what I'm seeing. Though it's not constrained to anything so I don't see how it can sag.

If you want you can just add me on steam and show me on my server.

I took a look at your files. Unfortunately, it appears that your files were transferred in text mode instead of in binary mode. This caused all instances of the character sequence "\r\n" (Windows newline) to be replaced with "\n" (newline elsewhere). Due to the methods used to encode AdvDupe2 files, this is not simply reversible. At this time, the AdvDupe2 codec supports error detection but not error correction.

I have committed an update making the resulting error message more informative.

[Chubsmagee]

Edit: Problem solved

[mn_chaos]

Whatever youve done, Its fixed. Thank you.

Revision 41 fixes any parented physics objects that were able to fall not fall anymore, fixing possible server crashes, and sucking performance from falling physics.

Thanks to Kafouille for helping me find a fix.
