[Runtime Issue]: Cannot find object <GuideBotRed> #611

Build Version

v1.5 0388d0758298d6e474ddda266062a96d76493c44 from release

Game Modes Affected

Game Environment

Description

The game crashes after the Downloading Data screen and red bar, with Cannot find object <GuideBotRed>

I saw https://github.com/DescentDevelopers/Descent3/issues/290 where filesystem case sensitivity was reported as a cause. I have tried both reflink copying the files, as well as running via a case insensitive VFAT image mounted via a loop devices, without success.

I also tried strace'ing to see if other files are being requested and not found, and there are several files along the lines of Table.loc, extra.gam at various paths.

Regression Status

No response

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Installed Descent 3 in a Win98 VM from CDs I dug up
  2. Copied all files as described in USAGE.md from the Win98 VM back to Linux
  3. Downloaded latest available Linux release
  4. Run ./Descent3 and the intro movie plays, then the "tantrum" plays.
  5. Press Esc to move on - and the "Downloading Data" loading screen appears and the red bar moves along

  6. Finally the crash with

    Descent 3 Message(Error: Cannot find object <GuideBotRed>)

System Error

EDIT: updated steps to reproduce to make it clear I'm trying to get this working on Linux.

Hi, thanks for reporting this issue. Can you please try with the latest master build?

jinnko commented 1 month ago

Thanks for the quick reply @Lgt2x.

I've built from master in debug mode and still see the same issue - this is the output:

Now I don't think this has anything to do with case sensitivity of the filenames. Comparing your loading log with mine, I have a few more pages loaded, including GuideBotRed:

The extra.gam resource file is actually located in the extra13.hog game data file (a Python script I made can tell that). I get the same error message as you do when removing extra.hog,extra1.hog and extra13.hog. Does your copy of the game contain these files? If it does not, we should ensure that the game loads properly without them.

Installed Descent 3 in a Win98 VM from CDs I dug up

Do you own the Mercenary expansion, and if you do, is it patched to v1.4? If you don't own it, the game should still be booting assuming you patched your game to v1.4, and if it doesn't, then that is the problem here. If you do own Mercenary, ensure your game is patched to v1.4 before using the v1.5 engine.

Game assets aside, I'm not sure v1.5 supports Win98 by now.

Why would that matter? Didn’t OP say that they were running the game on Arch Linux?

They are using a Windows 98 VM. Unless I misread it and they then copied their data files to the linux env. If they did that, it's almost certainly a v1.4 patch issue.

That’s very surprising to hear. When I read the bug report, there’s a lot of information that makes it seem like the OP is running the game on Linux. For example, they checked the Linux box in the “Operating System Environment” section of the bug report template. Additionally, in this comment, they posted a log. That log contains several lines which suggest that they are running the game on Linux:

2024-09-29 19:07:23.085 INFO  [1464195] [mng_InitLocalTables@677] Local dir: /home/jinn/Games/Descent3/D3-open-source

If they were running the game on Windows, then I would expect the path on that line to use \ instead of / as the directory separator. I also would expect the path to start with a drive letter.

2024-09-29 19:07:23.480 INFO  [1464195] [opengl_GetInformation@243] OpenGL Version: 4.6 (Core Profile) Mesa 24.2.3-arch1.1

The version number for Mesa ends with “-arch1.1”. Arch Linux adds -arch$epoch.$pkgrel to the end of Mesa’s version number.

Why do you think that they are running the game in a Windows 98 VM?

jinnko commented 1 month ago

Apologies didn't reply earlier.

I only used a Win98 VM to carry out an installation of the game from the CDs I have so I could copy the files from the installation folder as described in USAGE.md. That's the only purpose of the Win98 VM.

I'm trying to play on Arch Linux.

I do not own the Mercinary expansion.

I have not patched the game at all and I'm not sure that's what I need to do to use the Linux build from master or the downloadable release. Would I be correct in thinking the patching is only relevant to playing the game on Win?

If I've understood the comments from today the issue is likely to be the missing Mercenary expansion? Is there anything more I can do to confirm this?

EDIT: Reading again, perhaps it's the v1.4 patch after all? I'll try that out next chance I get. Also updated the original description to make it clear hope Win is involved.

JeodC commented 1 month ago

Some required Mercenary objects were added as of v1.3 for compatibility with multiplayer between those who owned the expansion and those who did not. You do need to use v1.4-patched game assets to use the v1.5 source engine.

jinnko commented 1 month ago

I managed to get it working.

I returned to the Win98 VM and installed the relevant 1.4 patch on top of the existng installation, then re-copied all the assets back to linux. After doing this it worked.

During the 1.4 patching - I did have to "configure" to ignore missing files as it wouldn't complete otherwise.

Thanks so much for your help and for reviving this nostalgic experience with this OSS engine release!
