Fix graphic error - Rizz - 10-17-2012 10:42 AM

I don't know why but when player A has no hair and moves in EST-SUD/EST direction, player B sees this type of graphic error:

[Image: cattur11.jpg]

That screen is a stamp of player B screen (the one with the ressrobe).
On player A screen (the llama's one) nothing is wrong.

Any suggestion?

I opened the client 2 times, this bug works for everyone

With hair it doesn't happen?
I still thinking that is the game files that are broken...

Doesn't EA have this? I remember it occasionally on official servers though that was ages ago, pre-LBR. I think it's a driver thing.

I think its a height problem... try the same test while not riding the llama.

it's a clipping issue that's been around for ages, there's basically nothing you can do about it. It's all client side. :/

The reason it may not be happening when you have hair, is because the hair is it's own floating item on top of the character, forcing the client to re-render the area around the player's head and getting rid of the glitch.

Without the hair, for whatever reason, the client isn't clearing the old frames for the body art when you're on a llama/mount.

It's hard to explain, but basically the hair is forcing the top half of the entire character to render correctly because it needs to render the animation frames for the hair.

Without llama everything goes well, with something on the head too (like hair or hat for example).

Is there no way to fix that?
I had not on my previos server in sphere 51a eheh
Actually my client is a 7.13 version, i tried 7.8 and 7.18 but it's the same.

Is possibile to put some invisible object like a cap to force to render?

If you're willing to edit the muls, you could probably do this:

Easy option
1. Find one of the hairstyles you don't like, or no one uses
2. Blank out all the frames, so they still exist, but it's really just a transparent box.
3. In-game, rename the hairstyle "Bald" (or something along those lines)
4. Modify the scissors to change the player's hair to the "Bald" hair, instead of removing the hair layer to cut the hair.
5. Technically, this should force the hair to render, even though nothing is visible, and remove the artifacts.

More complicated option:
1. Create a NEW hair style, find an anim slot and assign it to hair, make all the frames transparent boxes.
2. Do everything to make it work on the hair layer (I've never done this before, so I can't help you here :/)
3. Do everything from the "Easy option", just assigned to the new "hairstyle" you created.


EDIT: Whoops, missed the part where you tried it with a hat on. That's strange, that should make it render correctly? I guess I have no idea how to fix it. :/
