New guy on the forums here, I just wanted to say this pack is great. Tons of fun stuff to use.

Now, I know it may seem a little ambitious for a new forum member to suggest a coding patch, but in the puddle jumper's init.lua file, there's a pretty serious bug that affects the life support part of it. Basically, if you have LS disabled but left RD enabled for Advanced Duplication purposes, spawning a jumper results in a massive flood of LUA errors from the code trying to place oxygen, coolant, and energy in your nonexistant suit, thus making it practically unusable without enabling life support or disabling resource distribution. However, I figured out a bug fix that is exactly two characters long.

Original code:

Code:

--####### Keep giving us air, coolant etc.
	if(self.HasRD) then
		if(self.CanHaveLS) then
			self:LSSupport()

Modified code that makes the spam go away and probably makes the jumper's LS functionality still work (haven't tested it, but I don't see why it wouldn't work):

Code:

--####### Keep giving us air, coolant etc.
	if(self.HasLS) then
		if(self.CanHaveLS) then
			self:LSSupport()

Posting the whole thing would be stupid as it'd fill the entire page, so I just posted the relevant section. To add it yourself, find the puddle jumper's init.lua file in the CAP folder and do a search for LSSupport, swapping the (self.HasRD) with (self.HasLS) to fix the spam error when using RD without LS.

I hope this small change can be added to the jumper in future releases so everyone can use a bug free jumper :)

Edit: Turns out I was wrong. self.HasLS doesn't exist as a variable, so all this does is remove the LS functionality of the jumper entirely. Oops. Only do the above if you want said LS functionality to go poof and make the jumper identical to every other SG vehicle in the pack :p

My destiny weapons aim and such, but don't fire (yes, I clicked). Any suggestions?

Madman07 · 15th April 2012

Give them power?

druedan · 15th April 2012

Well see the ion cannon and ori beam and other things work...it seems it's just the destiny stuff. Or are the destiny weapons the only ones that require energy? Also, are they compatible with environments?

Tollana Ion Cannon,Ori Beam,Destiny Weapons,Railguns,Asgard Beam etc. need power ! Only Ori Sattelite and AG-3 Satelites dont need it ... and CAP is fully compatible with SBEP and NeuroPlanes, but still some bugs with neuroplanes...

How do I supply power to my stargates, weapons, etc.?

Woogoo posted:

True, I guess it's kinda useless, but Adv Duplicator will whine to no end if you have RD disabled when spawning ships with RD functions :/

That being said, my edit actually didn't work. self.HasLS is apparently not defined by CAF or LS, which makes it that much harder to implement a check for LS and not RD, in cases like this. I'll edit my post to remove my idiocy, or at least place a note saying it just disables the LS jumper coding entirely rather than making it work :/

if you aren't using LS / RD then why would you ask, so I'll assume you do
spawn a DHD near one, that should do the trick for 7 chevron dialing
hook up a ZPM / ZPM hub to a resource node via link tool, then link the stargate to the node.

for 9 chevron dialing you need a LOT of power

I no you guys are aware of the Destiny Cannon bug but is the Tollan cannon ment to fire like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1Vox8yrbkE

druedan · 16th April 2012

All I'm saying is that most weapons work for me without power, my problem is specific to the destiny weapons. I'm missing something here, I just know it.

Edited:

Also, I've just completely gotten rid of RD3/LS3 thinking it was a problem caused by a conflict with Environments, but no, same problem, all weapons work with the exception of the destiny weapons and (I forgot to mention) the gate weapon. Help me out here.

After 2 times attempts to report a problem on gmod13 to fix problem with vgui menus (when we should first see stargate and only after that it will be in list), i'm fail.

http://facepunch.com/threads/1177760

After that i'm say - i will not continue work with gmod 13, because garry do not want fix some problems and broking many things what we using with stargate mod. So in this case probably will be no stargate on gmod13. Please bitch not me, thats all going to garry.

ok tried it after reinstalling and it does the same :P it doesnt actually bother me the tollan cannon looks cooler like that and i can live without destiny weapons for a while, just thought u should know if there was a problem

**fdinasty** · 16th April 2012

the "remove all but -this-" solution sounds squite funny :D

well...
although i suppose that suggestions are not open to debate right now, i'm going to make one anyway for the existing "destiny main weapon".

as we've seen in the final episode 20 from season 2, the main weapon (operated by greer during the first fight) was able to fire multiple shots in a row very fast
(11:12 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhT3e3QkA_c 1)

so question is...
can the main weapon be recoded sometime in the future (?) to...:
-make the weapon fire a little faster while fire-button is pushed (with possibility to overload weapon if used too long without cooldown)

Multiple shoots are good :) i want it in gmod :)

AlexALX · 16th April 2012

Rev 229 changes:

Fixed:
- Wire output "Chevrons:string" on stargate sometimes return wrong values.
- Iris drawing model after spawn it with adv dupe.
- Some other small bug fixes.

========
Thats latest update from me for this time.

@CharlieX3 I have no idea how to fix adv dupes with zpm hubs, tried and fail, so let someone elase fix it.

orrila · 16th April 2012

This http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1Vox8yrbkE should be made as a SEPARATE version of the
tollan Ion canon. It looks very cool.
I agree with fdinasty.
Good job on all the new revs and frequent updates.

I understand why Garry wants to become 100% workshop with Garry's mod, but why is he shrinking down the old addon system if he wants them both to be in gm13.

Don't give up, man. You've been going great guns recently and I think everyone's been glad of your work. This is a right pain, but I must admit when I first tried GM13 with CAP I thought the Stargates only appearing once you'd seen them was a feature - as in you can only dial a gate if you know the address already - I like it. I can imagine it makes more problems with other ents though.

Would it be feasible to have every gate etc report its existence to a global table when it is spawned? Something like that might work although I'm of course just guessing.

damn, now I really don't want GM13. I did, but now I don't.

This mod is one of two that I enjoy using, really..

also, I dunno if you could, but a wire input to use Earth as point of origin chevron would be cool as fuck

Hello,

I've run into a little snag with the CAP, Whenever i try to spawn a Stargate, i get an error in the console:
"CAP is wrong installed"
And the stargates don't spawn
This error only affects the stargates themselves (as far as i know)
I used to have the "Group system" installed too, and deleted after i found out it was merged with CAP
Iv'e tried installing and reinstalling CAP, cap_resources and Wire folder to avail, i just keep getting the same error.

Any help would be appreciated

If it helps, i running on SVN revision 229 for CAP and cap_resources

1. Do not rename folders cap and cap_resources.
2. Check if file cap/VER.txt downloaded correctly.

I have checked the name of the cap and cap_resources and they are fine, the VER.txt is in the root folder of cap (where the "info.txt" is) and it's still having the problem,
i'm about to do a flush out of my addons, just including cap cap_resources and wire folders.

OMG y'know what, i feel like such an idiot, i have managed to reinstall CAP twice and check the names without noticing the underscore :( , my cap_resources didn't have one, i think i had overlooked it, i am sorry for wasting your time it seems to have fixed itself when i put the underscore in. Thanks for the help that you gave me :)
