Re: Trouble Loading Save Game

Paste this into Explorer's address bar: %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Drakan

It will open your personal Drakan folder, in which there should be a folder called Saves with actual saved files.

Re: Widescreen hack and some other fixes aka AiO Patch

I loaded the registry file but I did not recall going into the Drakan exe for compatibility. Did I overlook something in the readme about this part? Yes. Reloading the level editor and restarting the computer does not produce a fix. This all happened after the editor crashed while previewing a 3d m...

Re: Widescreen hack and some other fixes aka AiO Patch

1. I doubt anyone will actually bother trying to debug that mess. It probably won't help, but since some tasks are oflloaded to a second thread when you play multiplayer, maybe try and see if setting both client and server's affinity to a single CPU does anything. It will slow things down a bit thou...

Re: Widescreen hack and some other fixes aka AiO Patch

Can you disable the "Mplayer.com" button on the skin select screen? Not only it doesn't work (obviously!), but clicking it crashes the game. Looks like I can. Getting lots of crashing on map load in multiplayer. It will get consistent until you restart the client. Sorry, that's a WONTFIX....

Re: Good Drakan MP levels

I fixed the model fullbright problem in Wartok Canyons (Air). Link on the previous page. That bug with Haste powerup happens on non-dedicated server as well, just not for the hosting player. It seems from other players' perspective, the powerup disappears when anyone walks over it, but the effect is...

Re: Good Drakan MP levels

Guys, replace DQTest level you have on your machines with this one . The version in Gold Pack was older...also the file with music was missing. I have also noticed some map makers break the localized text when they make tweaked version of certain objects. For example in DQTest, Poison Arrows are ren...

Re: The sun in Drakan

Turns out the game supports putting sun on the level through the sky object in the editor, have to set the Lens Flare setting correctly, where the problems begin. There has to be predefined Lens Flare object in the database. Multiplayer Common has one. Defining your own seems to be impossible as the...

Re: Good Drakan MP levels

From what I could gather from browsing through the editor, you have to wrap items that you want to respawn in object of type Rynn Powerup as that object gives you the option to respawn them at regular intervals. If you put them on a map regularly, they're there just until someone picks them up and t...

Re: Good Drakan MP levels

Here's fixed Wartok Canyons level.

BTW, any idea what causes the arrow quivers to be upside-down in most MP levels? I don't think the level makers have put them that way just to mess with the players :)

Example of the level where I can find them? I'm quite unfamiliar with MP specific stuff.

Re: Good Drakan MP levels

That bug with Haste powerup in Wartok Canyons isn't a level bug, it's a bug in the game, presumably hidden somewhere in Dragon.rfl. I don't see anything wrong with game data, the declaration of FX Powerup is correct, Dragon powerups are for breath weapons, so changing Type doesn't achieve anything. ...

Re: OpenDrakan ~ A Drakan engine recreation

Wow, that's incredible, given that OpenDrakan is only single-threaded yet. I'm sure the visibility calculations and multi-threading become more important when I add more intensive calculations like shadow mapping, but your results are nontheless great news :) For the record, the CPU is AMD Phenom I...

Re: Good Drakan MP levels

Connect a few clients to a dedicated server, load a bunch of random Ground levels first, then load up Auropolis. Right, right, right, the problem that happens after loading a bunch of other levels before. Maybe there's also something about those previous levels, but state of the engine only becomes...

Re: OpenDrakan ~ A Drakan engine recreation

Wunderbar! The performance is a non-issue in this engine, even when ignoring visibility data and having a level with too much crap in it. The second most problematic level in that regard (Paradise) runs at 119 FPS with uncapped frame-rate in worst case scenario on my end, while the original engine c...

Re: Good Drakan MP levels

Auropolis (fails to load at all on a dedicated server). How to reproduce? Does it happen on Arokh's Twin's server (or anyone else's dedicated server)? Works on my end. Wartok Canyons (Air): a cut-down and modified version of the Wartok Canyons SP map, it's an OK map; suffers from some minor glitche...

Tropic I believe was the other one that was stock.

Nope.
