Title: [WIP] T4M - Modification to WaW itself [Update 07/18/2015]
Post by: DidUknowiPwn on July 09, 2015, 12:34:50 am
Since people have been hitting asset limits a lot more lately I decided to team up with a few friends to create a mod to World at War similar to alterIWnet/FourDeltaOne's IW4M.
Only difference is that this mod will only increase asset pool limits and maybe add some small stuff for general modding. It'll work on both retail and Steam games so that's also a plus.
The downside is that you have to use a modified exe, mainly due to all of us using the Steam as our base we've had to do some stuff to the exe. Nothing "bad" just remove some protection that caused the game to not load. Everything else should be is handled by a DLL (d3d9.dll).
Finished Features:
Increased asset limits for a few assets.
Added a DVAR for removing border while in windowed mode (r_noborder)
cg_fov dvar has been unlocked and limited to 90;cg_fovscale has been unlocked
External console is now enabled
Disabled some text that would spam console i.e. g_numFriends is now, nulling invite info, updating profile info...
Console is always enabled; maps/mods will not be able to disable them anymore.
Memory limit was increased.
Planned Features:
Increase a few asset limits (fx, localizedstrings, loaded_sound, weapons) Completed
Possible Features:
Implement new script functions such as a notifyOnButtonPressed or something of the sort.
Implement no border while in windowed mode. Completed.

Now taking requests for things to implemented. Got a suggestion write it down here! Or place it in the GitHub issues area.

It'd be nice to increase the terrain verts limit so I don't sweat spinal fluid whenever I place down a patch. I don't if it's possible but it'd be nice to improve the lighting system so that spec maps look less cartoony and more like BO1/2. That'd be awesome.

the spec maps look great actually, just world at war has shit textures. Export them from another game
Another note, very good job on the project dukip

you fixed the ram problem?
it will be cool to increase the max_surfs_scene that shit error and also the "Max numer of disconnected paths exceed"(Actually i know a fix for this) and maybe akimbo? :P
Also like i tell you 8-16 players :troll:

MAX_SURFS_SCENE is caused by a person not portaling their maps, the paths no idea, player limit hell no.

Oh yeh, that's the error Quizz's maps give to some people right?
I think so, I get similar only it says 4096 instead of 10MB, usually fixed by turning spec maps off and textures to Auto before launching mod, then you can turn Spec Maps on once Mod loads.

Idk if some posted this already as I am too lazy to read all the comments atm. If you guys could up the limits for radiant stuff to that would be sweet. Like verts, number of brushes, number of models, lights, etc.
Are you going to modify the weapon system to make stuff like akimbo or rechambering after a certain amount of ammo is used like that shotgun in bo2?
That won't be possible as that requires reworking pretty much a quarter of the game. We're already going without any debug symbols so that's that.
People keep asking me about the pool sizes look at the video or this table FX -> 600 Image -> 4096 Loaded Sound -> 2400 Material -> 4096 String Table -> 80 Weapon -> 320 (/2, probably still haven't tested this limit yet)

or look at https://github.com/DidUknowiPwn/T4M/blob/master/t4m/PatchT4.cpp for the current pool sizes. :D

So you can't set the limits to something like 9999 without the engine freaking out?

Another thing I'm assuming that's a DLC3 map so we're adding on 62 more weapons give or take 8-10 more from common.ff Your map has an included set of weapons + your set of mod weapons + common weapons and that would reach the limit.

When I tested this out, in the weapons folder, I have 171 included custom weapons + 65 stock weapons which is 236, which leaves the other 20 possibly from the common.ff or whatever like u said?

Post by: DidUknowiPwn on July 11, 2015, 02:23:31 am
The AI limit is related to networking which I'm not touching.
As for the other weapons there can be duplicates too, WaW doesn't ignore duplicates. I would like to rewrite the asset functions to ignore it just like in BO1 and so on; but, we'll see later.

All about you, you, you. ::) If it's something that only you need why don't you incorporate that into your own mod then?
Spoiler: click to open...
Would you look at that? Steviewonder replying to one of my replies just to start crap. How (not) unexpected. ::)
No, increasing the AI limit wouldn't just be for me. I've heard people say in the past that they want to have more zombies in custom maps but couldn't because of the stupidly low AI limit.
Even the source engine has a higher AI limit and thats based off of the Quake 2 engine(as far as i can remember).

hi man,
very nice good job :)
I think self the important things are:
* 400 Fx * 2048 Material * 2400 Images * 1600 Sounds * 4096 models (it does not matter if I use static, turret or script models it's counting up :( ) * 128 weapons (it strange but I have reached 110 weapons included upgraded version not the same guns but all differents, but when I put more guns into the map it will say these are. 128 weapon limit)
but will this also work on a cd version ? because I purchased the game in the store like a toystore or most I buying the game again on steam ? :(
Quote
To 32, yes. However for something that i want to make i'd need the AI limit to be 64 atleast(not CoD zombies).
hi man, you can not reached the limit to higher 35 it will crash your game.
I have it already tried but sometimes it works but don't try it to make it higher then 35 in the ai limit settings.
because in one of my old maps I have it changed to 38 and it works but some strange thing is that I was trying to do it into a another map but later when I'm almost done it is crashing talking about these error.

In it's current state, it doesn't work with retail version, although it has Steam DRM patch which means that if you get the steam EXE from someone, it will still work, although the patch might be causing some issues.

Small update, game crashes when running the dll with the DRM patch.
Disabling this and using a copy of the "LanFix" seems to work in the mean time (as it hasn't been giving me problems). So, I'll notify the DRM patch creator and ask him to take a look into it. Now I can get back into it properly now.

Duplicating the issue listed on github, is this the crash? haha
Edit4: Seems that DidUknowiPwn and I verified that it crashes when launched with the debugger attached in Visual Studio so the SteamDRM patch worked fine after all. When we launch the game with the debugger not attached, everything in T4M works fine.

The memory limit is entirely based on your own computer. We're simply increasing the number of assets that you can have loaded at once. This doesn't effect the size of those assets (usually images) which take up loads of memory.
if ( dword_18F5D94 == 1022 ) { sub_54E920(); sub_69AB70((int)"G_Spawn: no free entities", v0, 1); .....
i r8 8/8 m8 4 the gr8 b8 but ur 2 l8
Edit: Threw a segfault when I replaced the value :(
Messing with any kind of entity limit is going to break compatibility with anyone not running the mod since they'll just crash when trying to allocate a new entity.
Also weapons aren't probably going to work since they're so closely related to playerdata stuff. If it's anything like IW4 I need to reallocate the weapon pools themselves since they're actually stored outside of the normal database pools. Also anything related to bsp's is going to be a hard limit in the mod tools which would be outside the scope of this project.
We're mostly looking for things to be improved (not completely re-written/redesigned) in order to help bring a 7 year old game somewhat back up to speed.

Increasing asset limit already breaks compatibility if someone's map exceeds the stock limit :please:

I probably don't have more memory. But the memory limit is NOT dependent on your PC. It's an engine limit, nothing to do with RAM or anything else. You could have the best PC in the world and you would still get it if I added another gun to my map :P

Then why are all of the memory errors posted here the direct results of failed VirtualAlloc calls? Granted the memory management is pretty atrocious but I'm not planning on rewriting it anytime soon.

No idea. But it's an error you get when you have too much stuff in your mod/map. It's not related to your PC specs at all. It's 100% determined by WAW. And it's literally the ONLY limit I particularly care about, all the others I can overcome with ease tbh. And it's the single biggest reason why maps like mine are about as far as you can take WAW. Without the memory limit the potential for WAW would be insane.

That would take hours and hours and require me sending you tons of assets that aren't really 'mine'. If you keep adding hi-poly viewmodels (i.e AW guns) and sounds, etc. you'll hit it soon enough. Maybe Hitman can share his mod since he's getting it to.

If you can duplicate the error again send me steps & files.
Hmm... got it working on Escape Asylum. Must just have been an issue with the patch having custom assets in it and i just compiled the scripts assuming it was stock.
Oh well, tried it with another map(escape_asylum) and it (almost) works perfectly:
with the one problem being the exe still has trouble loading assets. The first time i tried loading it told me it couldn't find some custom script, then it told me it couldn't find _zombiemode.gsc... after like the fourth try it actually loaded.
Also, can you add more FF names(like, <mapname>_mod? Having more FF names would be real nice.

Just a couple of questions (yeah Im back): So can this modification be applied to Custom maps or do you just Installed it a certain way to apply to All of WAW? and Will this give a performance boost (if not already when the engine gets expanded) Even with a slow computer?
Title: Re: [WIP] T4M - Modification to WaW itself [Update 07/18/2015]
Post by: DidUknowiPwn on July 23, 2015, 06:24:25 am
The compiler throwing errors is solely related to WaW being retarded I had the same issue before but was because I had duplicate functions.
Adding more FF's to load is possible but I don't see a reason why.
Edit2: Forgot to answer other question, the patch will apply only to SP. As for performance boosts it won't, unless you assume the giant frame drops from ragdoll allocation failed and other console spasm is a boost.
Edit: I'll take a look at the function related to SRE and try to figure out what's missing. It might need a good overhaul though.

What more do you need really? mod.ff shouldn't actually contain anything, custom assets and such should be going in your map fastfiles regardless. localized is for sounds and strings related to different languages. _load should contain absolutely nothing but load screen materials.

Yeah but not everyone does that which is why having a few more could be very helpful for something like a precompiled custom weapon pack or something if they already used their other FFs for BO perks or something.

I guess I'll try to do a method a friend told me about earlier, mod.auto.ff

The compiler throwing errors is solely related to WaW being retarded I had the same issue before but was because I had duplicate functions.
Adding more FF's to load is possible but I don't see a reason why.
Edit2: Forgot to answer other question, the patch will apply only to SP. As for performance boosts it won't, unless you assume the giant frame drops from ragdoll allocation failed and other console spasm is a boost.
Edit: I'll take a look at the function related to SRE and try to figure out what's missing. It might need a good overhaul though.
that reminds me, can you increase the max ragdoll count? Try to stop random frozen zombies on occasion?
Its alright if you set bodies to tiny in the menu, but those that dont assume all thunderguns are bugged lol

ai_corpseCount has no limit, well it does at 32 but you can set it to be higher as there's no "real" limit.

There is absolutely no reason to add more fastfiles to get loaded. Each one already has a purpose. mapname.ff - anything specific for the map mapname_patch.ff - any kind of patches that allow for downloading a smaller update instead of re-downloading the entire map localized_mapname.ff - anything that needs to be different for each language such as localization, sounds, and maybe images mapname_load.ff - anything loaded before the map officially loads (offtopic: idk why they didn't just make an automatic system for loading the loadscreen as it is the only thing ever put into this fastfile) mod.ff - anything global related to the mod that isn't map specific (if you have more than one map in the mod)
everything that you could ever want to add falls into one of these files.

Yeah but few people actually use the FastFiles as they are supposed to be used. Most people these days just add assets to their mod.ff and use their patch for Black Ops perks. :gusta:
Isn't there a limit on how much can be included into a FF anyway? I vaguely remember getting one from launcher after adding a bunch of stuff. Might have just been something else.

Well we aren't in the business of fixing people's laziness. There is no limit to each individual fastfile, only a hard limit to the total loaded assets at once. And if you can even come close to the number of assets in common_mp.ff then I would be surprised.

This.
People releasing standalones should just release their source so people can compile it properly into their maps.

Alright, FX limit is hitting me hard right now, so im using this mod for the time being, however whenever I add it, I suffer a 90% drop in framerate, no lies.
I can run solid 90FPS all the time on my map, I add T4M, and run it, 8/9FPS all game, it is unplayable. I would love to make use of this mod, but for some reason it kills my game performance dead in its tracks, any idea why?

i dont know if this has been posted yet but im too lazy to look myself. ::) but what i think would be cool is to increase the amount of zombies that can spawn at one time. and also i would like to be able to increase/decrease the distance that a Projectile weapon pushes a player backwards when firing.

Funny thing is I'm pretty sure DD already asked his first question in this thread earlier, it can be changed in one of the gcs but it's networking related iirc.
