Footprints aren't drawn with the correct rotation

[xycaleth]

Operating system and version:
OS X 10.11

Is this for single player or multiplayer?
Multiplayer

Description of the bug (and if possible, steps to reproduce the bug):
Footprints created from walking on sand aren't drawn at the correct rotation. They appear to be at 90-degrees to what it's supposed to be:

What did you expect to happen instead?
Footprints should be draw in the same direction as the one the player is walking in.

Is this a bug specific to OpenJK?

[xycaleth]

I'm pretty sure it's OpenJK specific. I don't have retail JKA on my mac so I can't test it there.

Can you check the cgame code for what method renders them?

[xycaleth]

Footsteps are created here:
https://github.com/JACoders/OpenJK/blob/master/codemp/cgame/cg_players.c#L2232-L2284

And then drawn from here:
https://github.com/JACoders/OpenJK/blob/master/codemp/cgame/cg_marks.c#L131

Seems more like an issue with the cgame since its giving the rotation to the engine.

Tested in SP and its not correct there either so I think its a bug in cgame in both and probably in original too.

a bit off topic but how does the sand look so detailed?

[ensiform]

The map is pande_jkg_spaceport with good textures I assume. That probably is also rend2, I'm not sure.

[AlexCS1337]

Yeah I got that map but I don't remember it looking that good, I'll check it again lol

[ensiform]

Maybe your settings are lower quality who knows.

Hmm the footsteps seem to go in random directions at first. I put cg_shadows 2 and cg_footsteps 4 so I could see how the shadow and footsteps reacted to the origins. It seems cent->pe.legs.yawAngle is based on map and not the player or this part of the code is doing something really odd when getting the matrix trap->G2API_GetBoltMatrix( cent->ghoul2, 0, footBolt, &boltMatrix, tempAngles, cent->lerpOrigin,cg.time, cgs.gameModels, cent->modelScale);.

This seems to be a problem with cgame. Using the retail cgame dll doesn't reproduce the bug.

Not fixed in SP!

Ignore the fact that this is on dfmod. It happens on hoth too.

This can be fixed in SP by changing the yawAngle in line 3832 in code/cgame/cg_players.cpp from cent->pe.legs.yawAngle-90 to cent->pe.legs.yawAngle. No reason to rotate the footprint by 90 degrees now.
