Bug UMMUs can't have focus in scenario file?

Zatnikitelman · Nov 13, 2012

I've found an odd problem with UMMU. Whenever I give the UMMU the control and/or camera focus from the beginning of the scenario, Orbiter crashes, but if I change focus to the Deltaglider, or Shuttle-A, it works. Here's the scenario in question:

Code:

Is there a workaround or anything?

First time I've ever seen this kind of thing.
I was able to reproduce the bug, if the scenario starts with the focus on the ummu you get CTD. (I removed the hangar lines because I don't have that one).

The funny part is that if you remove both other ships and leave just the ummu the scenario loads normally.

At first I thought that it was because the ummu wasn't named "properly" (e.g. UMmu_Crew-KSC) and doesn't have a "crewweight" but the CTD happens even if those exist.

dansteph · Nov 13, 2012

I wasn't able to reproduce the CTD with the beta version of UMmu.

-Try to deactivate all modules first to see if one create the CTD.
-Name properly the UMmu eg: "UMmu_Capt-Robert_Moore:UMmu" in scenery, and don't forget the cam: eg: "TARGET UMmu_Sec-Robert_Moore"

If it still ctd let me know.

In general you should use the utility (SHF+R) to rename UMmu, as the name is used for informations, giving folkloric name might create a lot of problems.

Bug reproduce:

1. Load this scenario

Code:

BEGIN_DESC
Contains the latest simulation state.
END_DESC

BEGIN_ENVIRONMENT
  System Sol
  Date MJD 51981.6035475830
END_ENVIRONMENT

BEGIN_FOCUS
  Ship UMmu_Capt-James_Lovell
END_FOCUS

BEGIN_CAMERA
  TARGET UMmu_Capt-James_Lovell
  MODE Extern
  POS 4.10 31.80 -17.22
  TRACKMODE TargetRelative
  FOV 50.00
END_CAMERA

BEGIN_HUD
  TYPE Surface
END_HUD

BEGIN_PANEL
END_PANEL

BEGIN_SHIPS

END
END_SHIPS

2. Open scenario editor and Add a Deltaglider named GL1 (don't track and don't set input focus)
3. Select (on the ground) location: Cape Canaveral
4.CTD

Another way:

Steps 1 and 2 same as above
3. Select animation→Gear down
4. CTD

The ummu was named with Shift-R
All modules deactivated, except ScenarioEditor
I downloaded and reinstalled UMMU2.0 and used the patch version 1.5 (didn't find any addons to patch)

Bug reproduce:

I was finally able to get it with Zatnikitelman's scenario.

There is an "illegal instruction in ddraw.dll" with no near call to UMmu's code.
This bug doesn't exist with DX9 client so it might be a bug in Orbiter's graphic engine.

Last this happen only with the deltaGlider, if I replace it with the ShuttleA I don't have this crash anymore in any try that I've made. (several test with different scenery case)

This tend to indicate it's more a "DeltaGlider/Orbiter engine"problem (that might be triggered by the scenario context with UMmu it's true).

Recommendations:

-Focus on DG first
-Use DX9 or DX11 engine (which are better anyway)

BruceJohnJennerLawso · Nov 14, 2012

I had this issue when I first started using UMMU, I cant specify what but I know its probably a plugin module causing the problem. :tiphat:

Bug UMMUs can't have focus in scenario file?
