Bad day yesterday...Had a crash and could not open SkyLine...Had to reinstall...My newest backup caused it to crash again...I had to use the next older backup and it worked, but I lost a lot of work...The main thing is I lost the microscripts for the newest backup...
I wish there was a way to save the microscripts into a microscripts folder so I can back them up seperate...just in case...I guess I should just use external scripts....I can get them programmed again, but some of them took a while to get working correctly...

Anyways, back to work....Whew!

Oh sorry to hear you have had problems. Our current osvr demo has had us fix a lot of new errors after many crashes.
We certainly feel for you.
For future information we put a system in place for what you are going through, may not help you much now as you have re-installed but good to know for future reference. All micro scripts generate a back up file in the Data folder:

Skyline_SDK\Skyline\Data\_Backup

Next time you get a crassh and think you have lost the scene code check in this folder and look for the object name and date to locate the script.

Also you scenes may not be lost if you still have the scene file we may be able to get it working again for you. It's always worth a try especially if you have lost lots of work.

If it has a terrain just add the scene folder to the resources and this should fix it.

Oh good, may be all is not lost

Yes if you can PM Solar Portal or myself the scene folder then later tomoz we can take a look for you.

Pleased to hear you found the micro scripts and yes you would have to set up the models again. Hopefully we can save you a lot of time and get the scene working again. btw was there a terrain in the scene?

Feeling better now...Getting things working...Trying to get back on track for time lost due to bugs...Somehow I am finding work-arounds...Should have a progress video up tomorrow...

[SolarPortal]

thats good news We are currently working on a way to get the platform working. Last night we managed to get a semi-solution for being knocked around by doors or move up a platform when there is no movement.

[StarFire]

Ah workarounds, know that very well. A lot of tasks on whatever engine we have worked on in the past have had what we call idiosyncrasies. This where what should happen doesn't but provides clues to an alternate way of using it, Skyline certainly still has a few of these

[StarFire]

Sorry the doors solution requires a code tweak to the rigid bodies will be in the next update soon

[StarFire]

The 3D audio now has working audible distance
Will be in the next update 0.9.7.3

It could be related to the width of the player. If you reduce the width of the character a small amount say around 0.1 or 0.2 units, then it may stop getting stuck. When i am jumping on buildings and walls, i do not get stuck.

Like we said, it was really a simple implementation of it too get you around the issue for a while until a real full solution can be made. lol

The commands you are using will only work when using the Simple Character Controller action (SCC) or Dynamic Character Controller (DCC). The next version of skyline will allow you to use the SCC lua command.

Have a new video today...Have not got near as much done as I have wanted to...Getting ready to start setting up some LOD's and start some of the optimizing of the game...A little time spent now will save a big headache later...
Here is the Fourth video in the series...

[TattieBoJangle]

Looking fantastic m8 you can see it getting better with each video

[CreativeOcclusion]

[StarFire]

Very good progression, we are starting to look forward to each new updated video, keep up the great work

Nice to hear the audio distance changes and elevator!, oh yeah

[CreativeOcclusion]

[SolarPortal]

Nice work! The elevator seems really stable

I had an issue like this m8 and I had to turn off the shadow for that light it may or may not work for you
