It happens on official too, it's not this system's fault

Hello,

Im using TMP4 Sources and i added a lot a new mounts with costume_mount and a Mount follow system ( Mitachi Mount like Horses ).

I had a lot of trouble making this Race Height working because of my low brain.

The name of horses while mounting was displayed too high and not mounting was the same, 

with new mounts added this was worst.

I finally made it work, it's visually good and work with emoticons etc.

Here is my Instancebase.cpp part:

	CActorInstance* pkHorse = m_kHorse.GetActorPtr();
	if (!m_kHorse.IsMounting() || !pkHorse)

about race_height:

some mounts needed their Vnum here, if not, when following the player their name is display too high.

others does not as the game display them correctly (flying crows, bats, sphynxs for exemple)

And my Playersetting module part:

Spoiler

def __LoadRaceHeight():    
    try:
        lines = pack_open("race_height.txt", "r").readlines()
    except IOError:
        import dbg
        dbg.LogBox("__LoadRaceHeight: load text file error!")
        app.Abort()

    for line in lines:
        tokens = line[:-1].split("\t")
        if len(tokens) == 0 or not tokens[0]:
            continue

        vnum = int(tokens[0])
        height = float(tokens[1])

        chrmgr.SetRaceHeight(vnum, height)

I decided to go with pack_open and a log box to see if race_heigh.txt was trully read because it was not at first.

 

I wanted some opinions: 

Is it a good way or am i ruining something ? (specially in instancebase.cpp)

Why does "normal" setting as said in tutorial (100.0f; in instancebase.cpp) Display the name of the horse too high while mounting

compare with the video exemple shown in topic ?

if anyone has and idea 

Thank you xpenger for your systems.

Best regards, Ariver.

Here is fix for the character name low height issue when you enter game too fast.
There is 2 way to fix it, i suggest the second way bcs it will fix the height issues after rescale actors. 

 

// FIRST WAY

float CActorInstance::GetHeight()
{
    if (IsPC()) // fix pc height
        return CGraphicThingInstance::GetHeight();

    DWORD dwRace = GetRace();
    float fRaceHeight = CRaceManager::instance().GetRaceHeight(dwRace);
    if (fRaceHeight == 0.0f)
    {
        fRaceHeight = CGraphicThingInstance::GetHeight();
        CRaceManager::instance().SetRaceHeight(dwRace, fRaceHeight);
    }

    return fRaceHeight;
}

// SECOND WAY (this will also fix the height issues after rescale)

float CActorInstance::GetHeight()
{
    const float fHeight = CRaceManager::instance().GetRaceHeight(GetRace());
    return (fHeight > 0.0f) ? fHeight : CGraphicThingInstance::GetHeight();
}

Thanks. It solved the problem, but when dismounting, the name shifts up and down, and for some reason, this bothers me a little.
