Journaling mismatches

by Ian Omroth Hardingham · in Torque Game Engine · 10/23/2006 (6:14 pm) · 3 replies

Hey guys.

I'm having problems in Journaling in Determinance, in that playing a journal back does not reproduce the same session. Some event or combination of events means that the journal replay doesn't match the initial session.

I've tracked down all my calls to Platform::getRealMilliseconds() and made sure they sync when journaling, so what other events don't get caught by the journaling?

All ideas welcome. Thanks guys,

Ian

Calls to rand()? You're supposed to use a deterministic random number generator.

So rand is not Deterministic? Thanks hPlus.

Are you playing back the journal at the same resolution it was originally recorded? I had mouse input innacuracies when playing back at different resolutions.
