0.2.8.3_rc1 available! Post bug reports here.
Right. Plan: Unless new evidence pops up with the two main mystery bugs (the server 'freezes' and random server crashes), rc1 will be tagged as such this Friday when I get home, around 7pm GMT. Then, the usual build process starts. Looks like my mac builds are now working, so I'll just do them all, as usual.
Edit: all done. Details are three posts down.

If they're not, I could try, or dlh, as usual.
EDIT: Why does BBCode keep randomly turning off?

Re: 0.2.8.3_rc1: release process
Tagging is done, build in process. My wife is hogging the Mac and I'm already quite tired, so I'll probably upload the builds only tomorrow.

BUG: dir_wall.png disappears from loaded moviepack textures on camera change, angle change, player death. Reappears intermittently.

Re: 0.2.8.3_rc1 available! Post bug reports here.
A few things should be adjusted in the config files and one of the language files. These have been around for a little while, but I might as well post them now (they're minor).
*In .../config/examples/cvs_test/sumo_complete.cfg, add SP_MIN_PLAYERS 0 (so players can sumo by themselves and not have the AI ruin the rounds).
*In .../config/examples/teamsumo.cfg, add SP_MIN_PLAYERS 0 (same reason as above), change BUG_COLOR_OVERFLOW to 0 (this should never have been on, my mistake), add FORTRESS_CONQUEST_TIMEOUT 5 (so your zones collapses if you're the only team left inside of it (eliminates those old "zone-wars"))
*In .../language/english_base.txt, change gamestate_newround_console Go (round \1 of \2 )!\n to gamestate_newround_console Go (round \1 of \2)!\n (aka get rid of the extra unneeded space)
I know the 3rd one is very minor, but the first 2 are decently important.

Also, I have noticed engine.wav will occasionally sputter between rounds, and intro.wav will too if using a moviepack.

Won't the zones just disappear after FORTRESS_CONQUEST_TIMEOUT?DDMJ wrote:

Re: 0.2.8.3_rc1 available! Post bug reports here.
Increase your sound buffer size. If we make it big enough to never stutter anywhere, it will lag everywhere. I'll check the other thing when I'm home. I don't usually use moviepacks.sinewav wrote:Also, I have noticed engine.wav will occasionally sputter between rounds, and intro.wav will too if using a moviepack.
DDMJ: you could increase the chances of it getting done by providing a patch. You're mainly battling against laziness and me not giving too much of a shit about the fine polish of the included sample configs (and in 0.3.2, bots will be able to sumo a bit, promise!)

It'll only disappear if it's the last zone in that particular sumo section (of zones)...if that's what you're asking.
EDIT: BBCode bug again? Same with sinewav's post below me...

[quote="Z-Man"]Increase your sound buffer size.[/quote]
It was already maxed out. I changed all the settings I could and nothing stopped the sound from hanging/stuttering.
I'm not really thrilled with how the game speeds up and slows down to compensate for lag. Can I turn that off?
EDIT: BBcode bug I think DDMJ. I can't get that quote to work.

Re: 0.2.8.3_rc1 available! Post bug reports here.
Hmm, maybe a superhigh setting or turning off sounds between rounds may be in order, then. The stuttering happens while the screen is black, right?sinewav wrote:It was already maxed out.

Yes, try setting LAG_CREDIT_SINGLE to 0. That stops the client from listening to 'you're lagging, do somehting!' messages from the server. Or you can proactively make your game run a little ahead by setting LAG_OFFSET_CLIENT to a small positive value. Both settings are nonpersistent, you have to set them in your autoexec.cfg or settings_custom.cfg to have them active all of the time.sinewav wrote:I'm not really thrilled with how the game speeds up and slows down to compensate for lag.

Just before it turns black. At the very last second of the round, the screen freezes for a moment, the sound stutters, then it goes black.

Re: 0.2.8.3_rc1 available! Post bug reports here.
I'm completely unable to reproduce that and have no idea what could be causing it. Perhaps it's the specific moviepack you're using? Can you post it, together with a debug recording and your settings?sinewav wrote:BUG: dir_wall.png disappears from loaded moviepack textures on camera change, angle change, player death.

The sound stuttering should be fixed; sound is simply turned off between rounds.
