Angus Ghost?

[Feathers McGraw]

Okay, this is by far the weirdest thing to be seen in my server window to date.



Any ideas?

I see the same thing a lot when i load my dedicated server too. I've always wondered what it was. Does anyone know? I you do please say so below.

correct me if im wrong. TGE has ghost objects and they are intangible meaning u go right through them. So pretty much its loading pictures

But angus? ....did it have to be so specific? (...and when I'm hungry too...)

It's about mouse controlled player movement.

Code: Select all

function GameConnection::createPlayer(%this, %spawnPoint)
{
   if (%this.player > 0)  {
      // The client should not have a player currently
      // assigned.  Assigning a new one could result in 
      // a player ghost.
      error( "Attempting to create an angus ghost!" );

When a mission cycles and players spawn, ghost appears in your dedicated server window for each player. If you have 4 players, you will see 4 instances of that line (Ghost Always objects recieved). As you can see below the mission objects are sent to 4 players, and then there are 4 ghost objects. My best guess is that the hoster decides via his .mission file what objects are to be show on a map. Players already have all stock objects so the object is not actually sent hence a (ghost) ? <--- speculation. Angus is beef.

Thanks for clearing that up.
Now im hungry for steak or roast beef.
So im gonna go eat breakfast.

First the definition (in TT):
Angus Ghost = Tank without a controller.

Now when this happens:
When we create a tank and that player already has a tank in control
This means you are creating a "ghost" of the player, specifically one that cannot move.
