Getting started with a new track, few questions.

did you solve it?

 

That issue came up on Mid-Ohio and Fuji as well where we tried four starting lights and it didn't work either.
It would appear the gdb entry is currently not having any effect.

 

CornerWorkers and generic marshalls at Dunsfold are working perfectly and I do not have pit/start lights at all...so I really don't know where the problem is.

Just a though (if you want)...try to export a generic Pitofficial (and put // on Cornerworkers)..then try to force the animation without race/track inputs. A stuff like this;

Instance=PitOfficial_000
{
MeshFile=PitOfficial_000.gmt CollTarget=False HATTarget=False ShadowCaster=(Static, Solid)
AnimFile=EXITOFFICIAL_WAVE.ANM AutoStart=(1)
}

I'm curious to see if there is a problem calling for some missing track feature (maybe the AIW and/or xsectors?) or not because the problem could be on the track side and/or the rig side...

In this way the rig is just calling for the proper ANM and immediately start moving his hands, without any kind of interaction with the track/race status.

 

This is why is crashing!!!

Cornerworkers and ANY marshalls, needs for a proper waypoints programming...if you've a partial AIW and/or a wrong waypoint section, the game crash for sure as marshalls creates a conflict with a missing track feature request.

 

U're welcome..

 

First thing to check is the progressive numeration. You've to use numbers starting from 0 without jumps. A stuff like this;

Instance=StarterWorker_000
{
MeshFile=StarterWorker_000.gmt CollTarget=False HATTarget=False ShadowCaster=(Static, Solid)
AnimFile=CW_FLAGDOWN.ANM
AnimFile=CW_FLAGHELD.ANM
AnimFile=CW_FLAGWAVE.ANM
AnimFile=CW_SAFETYCAR.ANM
AnimFile=SW_PRESTART.ANM
AnimFile=SW_START.ANM
AnimFile=SW_VICTORY.ANM
}
Instance=CornerWorker_000
{
MeshFile=CornerWorker_000.gmt CollTarget=False HATTarget=False ShadowCaster=(Static, Solid)
AnimFile=CW_FLAGDOWN.ANM
AnimFile=CW_FLAGHELD.ANM
AnimFile=CW_FLAGWAVE.ANM
AnimFile=CW_SAFETYCAR.ANM
AnimFile=CW_VICTORY.ANM
}
Instance=CornerWorker_001
{
MeshFile=CornerWorker_001.gmt CollTarget=False HATTarget=False ShadowCaster=(Static, Solid)
AnimFile=CW_FLAGDOWN.ANM
AnimFile=CW_FLAGHELD.ANM
AnimFile=CW_FLAGWAVE.ANM
AnimFile=CW_SAFETYCAR.ANM
AnimFile=CW_VICTORY.ANM
}
Instance=CornerWorker_002
{
MeshFile=CornerWorker_002.gmt CollTarget=False HATTarget=False ShadowCaster=(Static, Solid)
AnimFile=CW_FLAGDOWN.ANM
AnimFile=CW_FLAGHELD.ANM
AnimFile=CW_FLAGWAVE.ANM
AnimFile=CW_SAFETYCAR.ANM
AnimFile=CW_VICTORY.ANM
}
Instance=CornerWorker_003
{
MeshFile=CornerWorker_003.gmt CollTarget=False HATTarget=False ShadowCaster=(Static, Solid)
AnimFile=CW_FLAGDOWN.ANM
AnimFile=CW_FLAGHELD.ANM
AnimFile=CW_FLAGWAVE.ANM
AnimFile=CW_SAFETYCAR.ANM
AnimFile=CW_VICTORY.ANM
}
Instance=CornerWorker_004
{
MeshFile=CornerWorker_004.gmt CollTarget=False HATTarget=False ShadowCaster=(Static, Solid)
AnimFile=CW_FLAGDOWN.ANM
AnimFile=CW_FLAGHELD.ANM
AnimFile=CW_FLAGWAVE.ANM
AnimFile=CW_SAFETYCAR.ANM
AnimFile=CW_VICTORY.ANM
}

etc etc etc---

 

And remember to check the option in the GMT exporter "FIX BONE NAMES" to correct the numeric suffix in bones...

 

Also, try packaging Croft and try it in Single Player. I've had the animations not play in DevMode but play in Single Player. You never know what works and what doesn't in DevMode.

 

I have seen this before, but I only vaguely remember it. It has something to do with 2 things.. 1, all the needed flags aren't with the corner workers examples and 2, the order in which they are needs to be sorted out. Best bet, compare it with an ISI track. Open the gmt in notepad and scroll down. Then get the missing flag textures and copy them into your assets folder.

I can't check it myself right now but once I can I will have a look and get back to you, in the meantime, see if you can find anything out.

 

Hm yes, if you copied the existing flags "wrongly" that might happen.
Here's my set of flags if you want to try them:

Have you changed the material settings? I just took the .max file from ISI, positioned them and exported them without touching the material settings.
About the MarshalFlags, have you checked if perhaps you copied the green flag texture to the missing filenames when it should have been yellow flag textures?

Just to clarify, if there is a yellow flag situation in front of your marshals, they start waving the green flag, correct?

 

Well...if you get moving flags but they're just only green...maybe you've to check your map animation settings. If the animation is broken or deactivated the green flag is the first and only flag available...
