0.3.0_alpha4941: Bugs

Post by **Lucifer** » Wed Jun 21, 2006 4:47 am

Yeah, Vanhayes' crash is weird. He can make it happen at will, and he can tell us what he does to make it happen, but none of us (that have been paying attention, anyway) can make it happen, and it doesn't show in a recording. It's bad enough for him that I'd like to see it fixed for 0.3.0, but it's of a sort that's particularly difficult to track down, and might wind up getting fixed by accident anyway. Nobody else has reported it, and it may or may not be related to mom's crash. So, since nobody else has reported it and we can't duplicate it, it's not a showstopper, as much as I'd like to see it fixed for 0.3.0.

@ghableska: I think that's intentional, but I could be wrong about it. I know that player names are internally being turned into ascii and stripped of color codes and stuff for a number of things (tab completion being one of them), and it's possible someone decided to use that version of the name in the scoreboard and over the cycles. It's probably not a font problem as much as it's just using the wrong version of the name, and that's something we can argue whether or not it's a problem anyway.

Calling again for crashing bugs. Also, has anybody tried mom's cockpit yet? I just got the 0.3.0 branch, I hope to try it tomorrow. He was able to narrow it down at least to it being something about his cockpit, and spidey could reproduce it, so it seems like one of us should be able to reproduce it too, but I strongly suspect it'll have to be some one of us using windows. wrtlprnft tried it in Wine, but I don't know if he managed to make it crash there or not.

Ghableska's bug is weird. It's supposed to show up unfiltered in both the score table and the cockpit data sources, it must be some other screwup

Does that happen with all names that contain special chars?

Hmm, it displays the µ sign just fine for me. Here are some screenshots.
Could someone on windows test this maybe?

Ok, I tried Your_mom's cockpit and was able to get a backtrace. So it crashed for me, too.

Rain's character showed up in the score table, but not JJBean's.

Uh, in those two shots I see both names correctly... Now I'm confused.

Look at the upside down ! in JJ's name when he was talking, It isnt there in the score table.

Anymore crash bugs left hanging around?

Looks like we've got sound straightened out (except for sdl_mixer not being built with mp3 suppor), and I see the commit message from wrtlprnft that hopefully fixes mom's crash. Does the game respect the user's decision to disable sound?

I'm back to where I can actually do real coding again, so I can actually work on this again.

So, I'd like to do another alpha with the fixes we have, and 2 things added:

1. SDL_mixer with mp3 support for windows (and all other platforms)
2. Turning off sound should actually work (if it doesn't now)

And of course all the crash bugs we know about and can track down fixed. So where do we stand?

I'm willing to forego an alpha and just give a snapshot to a few users that reported problems, but I'm not willing to jump to 0.3.0 just yet. I want another check on it, if possible.

2. is fixed, but 1. is a problem, for two reasons

First, when I try to activate it by compiling SDL_Mixer with MP3_MUSIC defined, the app won't load later. Maybe the binary of smpeg is broken or doesn't fit to Code::Blocks. The second problem, the patent, seems to be ignorable for open source projects.

I can build an alpha almost any day. Once the build process is adapted to source and organisation changes (it is now), it takes ten minutes of real work and an hour of waiting.

wow, already? I'm going to finish my cockpit file so it can be used as a resource. Also, is my rotator going to be done for 3.0?

0.3.* are development releases, and our goal for 0.3.0 final is to make it somewhat stable, so it's too late for the rotator, but maybe in 0.3.1. At least that's how I understand it.

It doesn't really matter, i think we're going for pretty frequent releases in 0.3.0

Self_Destructo · Post by **Self_Destructo** » Thu Jun 22, 2006 8:13 pm

No biggy to me if it's done or not. Anything new to the cockpit file that I should know about? /me has a limit amount of time for the internet.

Ok, I know it's a bad recording...

But I have most of the stuff, with the characters not appearing in the score table, cycle labels, or tab completion.

wrtlprnft · Post by **wrtlprnft** » Thu Jun 22, 2006 11:14 pm

Ok, we (ghableska and me) did some testing, and this is what we came up with:

It only seems to affect characters at the beginning and the end of names
It's version independent. It happens with the following combinations we tested: (server:trunk, client:0.3.0_alpha2); (server:trunk, client:0.2.8.2); (server:0.2.8, client: 0.3.0_alpha2)
it affects tab completion (in 0.3.0_alpha2), the score table, and the display over cycles.
It only seems to affect windows users.
it only affects some characters, see the attached image, a green dot means we tested and the char showed up, a red one means it didn't, no dot means we didn't test that char (I only tested the chars i could enter in ama)

Anyone up to solve that puzzle? I'm unable to see a pattern.
