2.0.9 - potential issues with custom textures causing computation problems.

[Swingarm]

After reviewing the issue I was describing in the thread regarding total crashes and hang-up calculating data that PuMo originally posted, I am posting here more so in regards to the computation of Anthology.

Looking at my log from when Vulkan tried to compute the data the last time:

Code: Select all

level textures: 'force01#0' kind 0: no layer in class 6 (256 x 2048)
CommandListHandler::ExecuteAll: vkQueueSubmit2 failed (-1)

I decided to dig further into the issue by looking at the actual textures that were used in Anthology. recalling which textures had issues when computing I looked at the respective ones in the editor, and discovered that the 4 given textures are custom textures that are animated and lit. This was something that the 4 had in common that the other custom textures in the mission did not have in common.

To test this I am going to make a temporary copy of Anthology, but revert these 4 textures and see if it makes any difference. I have a hunch that this could be part of the issue at least

The results are inconclusive - the texture problem was fixed but a new error came up:

Looks like Anthology might just not work for a multiple reasons - it was released in 2007 too so a lot may have changed. It's a mission I'd love to play but looks like Sirius might have to work with.

I cannot reproduce that particular bug, but I found another one: The lightmap file for Anthology is so large that D2X-XL cannot read it. Fix incoming.

Btw, there is a version of Anthology available where the huge level has been split in three smaller ones - basically the same mission and complete mission structure, but three separate levels. The transitions are perfectly integrated and are not detrimental to the experience. That's pretty much the same gaming experience in a package which D2X-XL can handle much better. If you cannot find the download on my website, I can place it there, just let me know.
