[Solved] Problem with Flying the Yard

[Porkins_BB]

has anyone noticed any issues when flying the Yard in the pilot proving ground since the Mega 2020 update? I've tried different ships and different levels, but all missions have the same problem. When you enter the Asteroid in the beginning and enter the large room, normally you'll follow the arrows to the narrow tunnel which requires a very sharp 90 degree turn. However, when I reach this point, the entire tunnel is sealed off with rocks. I've tried blasting it, flying through it, no luck. I just flew the proving grounds recently on 1.06, right before the update, so I'm fairly certain there should be an opening there.

Yeah I can see this issue. The only one that has been messing with the Yard stuff I believe is @blue_max
Max I am blaming you anyway
We'll have to take a look into it.

I haven't touched any OPTs in the PPG -- but I did add a shader to make the lava more better.

From what I remember, there are a number of different options for the PPG that can be configured when you are in the hangar, like doing a "hot run", for instance, or the number of loops. Maybe it's something like that?

Ok so it "may" not be Max's fault
It was fine in the original 2020 release. It only happens after Update 1.1 is installed. Nothing should have conflicted with that mission still.
So we're just having to go through many things to see what area may have changed this.

I think I have found the issue. It looks to be with Hook_Opt_Limit.
We will investigate it further. Thanks for pointing out this bug

No problem, i was afraid i was just missing something. Thanks for looking into this, you guys are awesome!!!

Hello,
You're right. There is a bug in the opt limit hook with the new meshes count limit.

I will investigate that.
Meanwhile you can use these settings in Hooks.ini:

Code: Select all

[hook_opt_limit]
HitDataArraySize = 65536

MeshesCount = 50
Craft_ExtraSize = 0
Craft_Offset_22E = -459
Craft_Offset_260 = -409
Craft_Offset_292 = -359

This will disable the new feature.

Hello,
The bug with the hook is now fixed.

That also just helped me with the mission objects hook (hiding meshes feature). It now works too. Thanks.
