Daggerfall Unity Test Build 1

Yep! Sending it to you right now, then its finally off to bed for me!

Awesome! Thank you so much. I'll take a look and hopefully get some insight.

why the log file isn't being created.

edit: You were right about different log location on Linux. I've found the file:
/home/fan/.config/unity3d/Daggerfall Workshop/Daggerfall Unity/Player.log

Thanks guys!

Thanks for the fantastic work. Even at this early stage it is a lot of fun

Thanks for sending! I've received the log and it runs through successfully all the way to the end. Here are the important bits.

Welcome to Daggerfall Unity 0.0.2

This at least confirms it's connecting to the Daggerfall folder OK and something else is going on after the startup has completed.

Just out of curiosity, are you able to run the Streaming World Linux demo from below?

http://www.dfworkshop.net/streaming-world-release-demo/

I'll try and work out what's going wrong after such a successfull startup. Unfortunately, it even works on my 6 year old Centrino notebook with a crummy GPU. It does not run very quickly, however.

Edit: I'll reload it with Arch Linux 4.2 tonight and see if I can reproduce.

Nice! Since you had a successful startup, can you see any errors after the "welcome" text?

My pleasure!

The menu does not show up probably due to:

There is also second error earlier in the log:

I was trying to use "spoiler" tags, but I cannot get them to work properly.

The errors may (or may not) have something to do with locale settings - LC_NUMERIC="pl_PL.utf8" - using comma as default decimal separator and such ...

[Interkarma]

Interesting... both exceptions are in SettingsManager. The first exception is after call to get_DimAlphaStrength and the second to get_MouseLookSensitivity.

Failing in get_DimAlphaStrength would explain why it works until you open the menu. The DimAlphaStrength setting is to determine how opaque background is in popup windows.

Looking at the call stack, the actual exception is while trying to parse the setting string inside the INIParser library. Any chance you could post your settings.ini here? It's complaining about an unknown character on those items, but I'm dogged if I know what it could be referring to.

It's complaining about an unknown character on those items, but I'm dogged if I know what it could be referring to.

Default settings: DimAlphaStrength=0.5 MouseLookSensitivity=1.0 cause exceptions.
But if I change them to DimAlphaStrength=0,5 MouseLookSensitivity=1,0 everything works correctly - no more black screen.

It seems that reading files assumes that numbers format will match my locale settings - and we use comma as decimal separator in Poland. So the dot is an invalid character.

I'm not familiar with Unity / Mono, so I'm not sure how to force it to ignore locale settings ...

BAM! Great work! Now to work out how to fix this...

Edit: Think I can fix this. Will roll change into next build. Thanks a ton Azdul!

Edit #2: OK, should be fixed now. I'll post again when next build is ready. Have some more fixes I need to make before then though.

Yes, the demo runs without any crashes.

I don't know if this can be considered a bug, and since no-one else seems to have noticed this I'm thinking that maybe is something related to my rig:

http://oi62.tinypic.com/142y1wn.jpg

I don't see seems like that out in the wild, only in cities.


Just in case, these are my specs:

-Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz.
-SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon HD 5770 - 1GB.
-RAM 8GB.
