[VOXEL REMOVAL PREVIEW BUILD ROUND#2] Please check your blueprint conversion!

[tsunamayo]

Hi, so here is round#2. I have fixed most of the issues., but I still a few to fix on some specific commands.

Please report any more bugs you might be spotting!

Still to do:

• Lights
• custom color UI
• brick scale
• Girder and rail inner mesh

Bugfixes:

• build offset on starter block.
• symmetry delete and paint freeze game.
• Children entity on hinge shows at the wrong position
• Cannot pick up color with the action wheel.
• Collision on sliding door fixed.
• Addon block not deleted when the main system is deleted.
• Addon rail not working properly.

Build is live. Thanks all, I still have to do the brick scale refactor. I will also likely swallow the bullet and nitch the old light tech to do the refactor too. Cheers

That was quick! I'm amazed at how fast blueprints load in this patch, it's lightyears quicker than before

• Looks like weapon barrels still have trouble with the conversion, they appear invisible but still have collision boxes. This is the same A-Wing bp as was in the last thread
• Looks like weapon and shield colours were converted correctly this time too!
• Gravity blocks are still non-functional, but it seems like that's a problem on exp too so probably not relevant here

Honestly I'm struggling to find too many issues, I'm sure others will have found more but this is super close to being perfect as far as I can see.

Just out of curiosity, do you think stickers will benefit from a performance increase with all these changes? I've noticed that since brick/block borders have been removed, players are using much more stickers to bring texture to their builds.

The bugs I've seen are the same as others have mentioned.

I have the same issue as Peach regarding invisible barrels. It affects the laser turrets on the Coyote and Caracal. The other builds I've checked seem fine except for paint, lighting and other reported bugs.

I have to say, builds spawn with the speed of lightning now and I love it!

The CEs on Hinge Bricks spawn correctly now and stickers paste as they should, so it is a huge win. There's a few minor issues remaining though:

• The Trap Door didn't retain the colour it was painted in (Light Grey)

• The colour tiles do not show any description in the Codex

• The Building Drone menu doesn't show stickers on the miniature of the build

• White and metallic-painted light-emissive blocks and bricks are set to Rainbow Mode 😎

• The light paint variants are way too washed-out and the dark paint variants are way too indifferent on light-emissive blocks, compared to the Experimental branch

• I guess some sticker hierarchies will need to be adjusted by the players

• Volumetric sensors don't revert to the OFF state.
• Item Pickers don't display the Repair Tool (it's a bug on the Experimental as well)

• We still need tight collision boxes for some hull bricks 😞

Okay, sorry for bringing up that last one but it's been really bugging me for months now 😅

I tested some massive projects (e.g. the Super Star destroyer from the steam workshop, and one of my own projects) and there where two bugs - => but both of them where only the first time the case! After restarting and spawning in a new character, there were no problems but the games freezes after spawning for 10-15 sec, then the build appeared.

• The Super Star Destroyer spawned semi transparent, you could see the stars and backround through it and the screen flickers. BUT if I wanted to take a screenshot (with the Windows snipping tool), you saw anything of the ship on it (?!) can't explain why. Furthermore after spawning, the planet-ring disappeared and the ship spawned in the empty space. It's this project: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2261760184&searchtext=super+star

• If I tryto unspawn my own project, there remain artefacts in form of all the bricks which belong to children entities. The whole hull of my project is one children entity, if I unspwan, the hull remains and I can't delete or edit it.

Maybe its just because of the size, but I just wanted to tell you

EDIT:

• Ah btw, there is still the rainbow effect on all lights
• Sometimes, different projects (also small ones) spawn with additional artefacts, which spawn a few meters next to the project (for example my little fighter spawened with a 16m hinge next to it (?). I never placed this one there. After unspawning and spawning again, this hinge wasnt there anymore. Had this bug a couple of times with different projects and different artefacts.
• Flying with a ship, then pressing F4, then TAB and scrolling max. range away from the ship, then appears a noise like huming/droning - it depends on the speed of the ship and on the direction you're looking at it, freom behind there is nothing but from front and the sides

Gonna post the problems I've detected:

1- these windows were supposed to be copper, not grey.

2- the inner lattice detail disappeared

3-the yellow/black stripes turned into yellow paint

4- rainbow rgb effect on every screen, light, button ( same as other players)

5- these grey areas was supposed to be copper

6- the road was loaded without major problems, but if you try to paint it, it's very glitchy and strange!

All the files are loading very fast! But after some time, and after loading several builds, everything starts to take more time, untill the game doesn't load anything else.

[Uncle-Ulty]

Also, the loading time is significantly smaller!

From minutes to seconds!

I recorded the loading time for the rainbow road. The difference is huge!

Awesome, the child entity issue is fixed on my Hierax fighter. The landing gear foot is in its correct position. Also very well done on the spawn in time. Spawning in large ships is like 90% faster so very impressed.

The landing gears on Hierax and Corvus still don't deploy correctly not sure if that's a bug or if collisions are working more as originally intended and I need to change how they work on my end so they don't get stuck.

Thanks

Hello there, I would like to add some more bugs:

• I only can spawn 1- max. 3 projects, after that nothing spawns. It doesent depend on whether I'll unspawn the other ones and also the size of the projects has no influence on that. After 2-3 spawns, nothing happens and I have to restart the game to solve this issue.
• If I want to enter the yoke of the blue fighter in front of the starting area, it shows me the overheating message. This happend a couple of times, also with other projects which definetly have no negative heat-hull-proportion
• Some bigger projects (like Corvetts about 100m or more) are not able to move, if I enter the yoke + I sit/stay 1-2m next to it and not in front of - same bug if I sit down on a chair and then press F in front of the yoke, after that the character stays 1 meter next to it and dows not control the ship. Also F4 dows not function in this case.
• I am still able to fly through bricks and big parts of the hull of some bigger projects with e.g. a small fighter
• Collision problem: If I touch the hull of a ship with a smaller one (e.g. try to land on a landing pad of a space station (no auto-landing!), it lags extremely and gets caught up in each other. Theres no possibility to release exept going to lightspeed for 1 sec. This is with every project the case.
• After spending some time in a world (character), I am unable to delete any bricks. E.g. spawning something and editing 5-10 minutes on it suddenly I cannot delete anything in the whole world so it doesnt depend on one project.
• With every restart the game resets the player name and customization

Thank you for all your efforts!
