Character animation on client issue

by Howard Dortch · in Torque 3D Professional · 11/17/2012 (8:05 am) · 6 replies

I start a game as a server player, log into game from another computer on a LAN. The server player sees the characters walk around normal. The LAN client sees all the characters in "T" pose and no walk animations. I copy the current version of the game to the other computer so it's exact code base.
Any clues ?

Anything in the console?

Nothing declaring a fail condition. Validation for characters is all. It also fails with dedicated server. I saw this before in one of the threads but can't find the reference now, seems it was a simple fix.

Could it be related to this issue?
Looking at the code, the bug has the potential to affect real players as well as AIPlayers.

It used to work fine. A few revisions ago all was well but I have since added more characters ala MACK/FACK kits. I'm sure it is a dumb switch someplace or some obscure command like a obj.setScopeAlways() or something like that.

I did find this bug in the console.. what does sound have to do with decals ...? so broken...

A 'SFXProfile' datablock with id: 3 already existed. Clobbering it with new 'DecalData' datablock from server.
