Armagetron Forums

I haven't actually tested to see if the problem exists when on a trunk server. I'll do that next time I see a pickup match going on. I first noticed the problem on MB53's fortress server. I just connected to your ladle server, z-man, and the problem was there aswell. EDIT: Just watched a few rounds ...

The problem still exists in 1054. 1039 is just the earliest revision which contains it.

Since trunk revision 1039 I'm experiencing this problem on linux, however it doesn't sort itself out over time. At the start of a fortress match, all the cycles are driving head on against the wall behind the enemy zone... the cycle's eventually disappear and the minimap updates every second or so o...

Where are the short names used? If it's for something like packages names then i'd suggest something like armagetronad, armagetronad-beta, armagetronad-experimental. Too many abbreviations can sometimes be confusing. I would put release candidates under stable builds. They'd only been built once bug...

The technicalities of when and how to produce the debugging symbols can be tackled once it's fully working on Windows and Mac. As you said, the dumping feature being there can't hurt regardless of the symbols. :) I've been looking into this more. It looks like the best way to do this would be to co...

If it's so easy, sure, go ahead, I'll merge it. Can't hurt, can it? Can you add a test to ./configure that checks for the presence of the tools? I've started it here: https://code.launchpad.net/~vitty/armagetronad/trunk-armagetronad-breakpad The library is just the bare minimum exception handler. T...

Actually implementing a simple crash dump is only a few lines added to the code so there's no problem of it being worth the effort. (Locally, I've already implemented it for linux.) I could add a switch to ./configure that enables breakpad (it'd be disabled by default) and any time a release is buil...

Do you have a preference on where the dumps should be stored? I was thinking of either creating a new dump folder or just saving them inside the var folder.

I'm less convinced it's useful for Linux; many people compile the client themselves there Would more frequent releases not help partially solve this problem, if you can call it that? I was reading through the release process for 0.3.1 and it seems as if it was very drawn out. From what I understand...

This has now been implemented in trunk. Any server running the latest revision of 0.3 should have "/admin scramble" and "/vote scramble" available to allow players to vote to randomise the teams. However, at the time of writing this, barely any servers are running 0.3 :( Certain...

Armagetron's debug recording feature isn't the most useful due to people not usually recording when arma crashes, and not always being able to reproduce the crash when they are recording. It could do with some sort of crash handler to generate dumps for people to upload. (Or have tron upload them au...

After playing matches with uneven teams and I have already read that idea before i was thinking of a poll. A poll that mixes all players. This has now been implemented in trunk. Any server running the latest revision of 0.3 should have "/admin scramble" and "/vote scramble" avai...
