Can anyone reproduce that ?

Try doing the same with different profile

That seems to solve the issue. Thanks.

Not sure if it's the right thread, but does anyone know if the "always onscreen" compass from Contact can be hidden?

Either from difficulty options or execute this command:

showHUD false

Is there a way to show this compass outside of the Contact campaign? Sending true to that function doesn't do anything for me. I quite like the look of the new map too.

The function is only for Contact file aka PLAY CONTACT so you can't use outside... yet. I hope they make some of functions into platform.

Nice compass, I didn't even notice. What is this for?

@DnA, Could you confirm if any changes have been made recently to the Skate Helmet, I've looked back over all the recent changelogs and can't see any documented changes. The Skate Helmet now has a very peculiar looking flat matt finish where before it was shiny.

No targeted changes, but there was a full data pipeline cache clearing some weeks ago. It could be either a RVMAT is missing or it needs proper repacking. I'll ask an Artist to check.

Thanks for that quick fix.

Thanks for spotting it, it will be fixed in next stable patch. There was engine fix to "interpolate" command which broke expression which was previously working by miracle.

Thanks a lot for the fast fix the the newest dev build. I still have issues with missing trails and body vapor on a lot of community addons (for instance most of Firewills planes or Tetete3's F/A-18 Super Hornet). Those were definitely working before Contact was released. I compared their configs to those of the Jets DLC and cannot spot what causes them to not work anymore.

 

Strangely in the Jets DLC there's also config entries for body vapor FX besides the discussed wing trails - I haven't seen those FX working in the current build on the Jets DLC planes. (?)

Jets DLC was created by B01 which also happen to be part of community members who created F/A-18 Super Hornet mod. I can imagine that  all of those community addons are copy pasting same mistake which was done in vanilla data since F18 mod was used as a template for many plane creators at some point. Namely, following function seems to be copy pasted

        enabled="accelY interpolate [39.9999999,40,-1,1]";

Engine default number precision is 6 digits after comma and anything with higher number of decimals will be rounded. In this particularly case, 39.999999 was rounded to 40 so following expression was evaluated after rounding

        enabled="accelY interpolate [40,40,-1,1]";

And now, I have to make a little digression about how interpolate used to work before Contact release (kudos to @killzone_kid for pointing out that error)
 

rain interpolate [0, 1, 0, 100]
rain 0; result 0 (as expected)
rain 1; result 100 (as expected)

rain interpolate [1, 0, 100, 0]
rain 0; result 1 (expected 0)
rain 1; result -99 (expected 100)

rain interpolate [0, 1, 100, 0]
rain 0; result 100 (as expected)
rain 1; result 0 (as expected)

rain interpolate [1, 0, 0, 100]
rain 0; result -99 (expected 100)
rain 1; result 1 (expected 0)

Because of that bug, inverted syntax was used (regular evaluation was when a>b, since a==b, else was used) and code in "enabled" expression was always returning 2 (inverted using 1 - result of regular interpolation, so in this case it was 1-(-1) ). Therefor, whole intent to optimize those particularly particle effects was flawed from begging and instead was adding few more lines of code to evaluated.

 

In short, community addons which copy pasted those particle effects should adjust their configs by i.e. changing all expressions with .999999 to i.e. .99 or fall back to using ones from Jet DLC in case they are copy pasting those effects from F18 mod. While indeed it's sort of inconvenience I hope that this fix will help for greater good of sandbox.

Thanks for spotting  and reporting this. Due to some spooky issue, material and linked textures were not working anymore without any errors, but after refreshing the data it seems to be solved.

Looks like a recent patch may have caused the Carrier Special Rigs and the Carrier GL rigs to loose their .nohq maps again.

Vanilla, all expansions, no mods and not on Dev branch.

found a problem on the USS librety, one of the sections has a wrong texture as well as a lighting bug.

 

The texture is misplaced and is from the flight deck.

the lighting bug just makes it really really dark at night inside.

@killzone_kid Awesome utility. This will be very handy in the future.

One suggestion though: would it be possible to add a button which links to the corresponding biki page of the selected command?

[KoalaDSK 122]

I am not sure if this is a weapons model bug and if it was already reported.

If you put a weapon on the ground in the Eden Editor, they don't have (show) a magazine.
If you check the equipment storage (right click -> Attributes) there should be a magazine.
If you walk to the (visually) empty weapon and go to the inventory (do not grab the weapon), you can also see, that there is a magazine (but not shown in the weapon).

There are only two weapon models, which have their magazin loaded: MAR-10 .338 & Rahim 7.62 mm

I agree. We need proxy magazines even for weapons that apparently make no sense since there is only one type of magazine. For better mod compatibility 😀
