A new Gamestudio update is available.

New features of Gamestudio 8.40: augmented reality, cloth simulation, 3D mode for beam and streak effects, improvements for lite-C and the map compiler, and many new or improved engine functions. A detailed list can be found here:

http://manual.3dgamestudio.net/newfeatures8.htm

Version 8.40.3 contains some small fixes of the reported bugs (see bug list). Install the update over your Gamestudio 8.30 version. Please report any problems to the bug forum.

cool, I see you found also the stencil shadow error I forgot to mention in my bug reports

nice, thanks!

Why,in this updat when i run the game from sed , i get it crashed

Then I suggest that you get your game uncrashed again. In the manual under "troubleshooting" you might find tips how to do that.

@Dico: try to localize the crash event in your code e.g. by sys_marker (I had also a crash with last beta, I did tests, reported, and now okay)

@ Jcl:
the terrain deformation is really fine now, auto updating normals would be fine too (but not essential, it can be done by script...)

decal and stencil shadows also fine in all the earlier problematic circumstances, but yesterday I was able to create another undesired behaviour. unfortunately my children prevented me of making notes (I had to play with them), but I will do the tests again this week...

Jcl : my probleme in script editor and not in my game
(i have no crash in version 8.41)

1 : i open script editor

2 : i run my game

3 : i close my game

4 : script editor crashed (why !!!!)

Dico: The script editor normally won't crash when your game crashes, except when you're debugging it. Fix the crash first by following the suggestions above, before debugging your script.

If you can't find it although you tried, please describe your problem and ask for help in the developer's section. This thread is for the Gamestudio update only, not for problems with your game.

Hi,

There is still a crash in knights_on_wheel.c (car_noise)

Best regards.
