So yeah, since I don't feel like doing a whole lot of testing anymore, I may as well leverage my resources, and shove that responsibility to all of you. Hopefully, this will allow for more updates, and a less buggy engine.

The Format:
-----------
What: A *short* description of the bug / problem.

How: point form of relevant steps to reproduce the bug.

When: revision of exe. OS, video card... yeah I don't know, anything that might be relevant. keep it short.

Detail: any other stuff that might be relevant. like pics. http://www.imageshack.us/ if needed.
-----------

new releases here:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/sauerbraten/sauerbraten/sauerbraten/bin/sauerbraten.exe?view=log

for each new version, I will list fixed bugs. you are then responsible to make sure that it really is fixed, and then confirming it in this thread.

!!! NOTE !!!: this thread is not for feature requests, design discussion, bitching, moaning, yadda yadda, etc. there are other threads for that. plus, a forum thread already does not afford great organization. please no garbage.

Keep reports short. I have a habit of skimming large blocks of text.

Focus on the WHAT, not the WHY. There is a tendancy in people to want to be too helpful. They try to diagnose the problem instead of very clearly describing what is wrong. at the very least, keep theories in the detail section.

some examples are below:

#375: pushplay:

by metlslime on 04/12/2006 10:25

i've been having that problem for weeks -- ever since eihrul reorganized the folder structure.

It seems to be a problem with CVS configuration, but it doesn't seem to be something that can be fixed in the client that is retrieving files, so I suspect it is something that needs to be fixed on the clients that are submitting files.

#376: Re: Problem

by pushplay on 04/13/2006 04:02, refers to #374

That would make sense. It's easy enough to fix that once we track down the borked jpg.

TortoiseCVS has enough sense to add jpgs as binary by default.

#377: Done

by pushplay on 04/13/2006 04:23

The problem was flare.jpg. I deleted it from cvs, grabbed the most recent clean version from cvs and readded it in binary mode. It should be good now.

#378: ?bug or not?

by Death (ChaosCL) on 04/13/2006 14:42

I don't know if this is a bug with my system or sauer itself.

When I start sauer in the new shader edition it starts up at 30 FPS then goes down in about 5 seconds to 5-8 FPS i think it is because of the shader, I have tried it in the physics edtion and I get like 50-80 FPS.

Why is this happening any one got any idea need to know If I can fix this if it is a problem with open GL or something else or what.

the shaders are a big impact on performance (especially some older cards). Try disabling them by adding commandline -f to your sauerbraten.bat (the file that you double click to start sauer)

Modify your sauerbraten.bat file. Don´t type it in the game. like this:

bin\sauerbraten.exe -w800 -h600 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 -f

#385: Max Health Boost Glich

by spy on 04/21/2006 23:10

I found out that if you can get up to 100000 hp. Here are the steps of how it happened.

1. I got up to 1000 hp.

2. I then was damaged and below 1000 hp.

3. I then ran over a health boost

4. I then died.

5. When i respawned I had 1010 hp.

I then tested it on a map i made with just health, healthboost, and rockets and i was able to get my health up to 20680.

I don't think this is suppose to happen. But i like it anyway :)

by spy on 04/21/2006 23:26

After I had 20680 hp i got bored so i am guessing that you can get up to 100000

by Passa on 04/22/2006 04:36, refers to #385

you have too much spare time on your hands ;-)

intresting bug there.. but not that critical im guessing, who can get to 1000HP in a multiplayer game anyway ;-)

#388: problem with entitys in coop

by CC_machine4 on 04/23/2006 17:42

WHAT: while coopediting, someone else created a teledest that appeared to have the wrong number, so the corresponding teleport didnt work. (no destination for tag 2)
so i deleted the teledest that had the wrong number and replaced it with a different one. it worked fine for me, but the other person claimeed the teleport didnt work and the teledest had the wrong number.

in a different occurence, i created a tree mapmodel (mapmodel 2) and it showed up on my buddy's screen as a turret mapmodel. he claimed the mapmodel # was 22, even though i created mapmodel 2.

HOW: get 2 people in coopedit and create a mapmodel, and the mapmodel will show up with a different # than yours.

WHEN: winXP, happened with 1 person on linux and one person on winXP so i dont think this is relevant

DETAIL: i think the number properties are being messed up somehow on /newent in coopedit..

Yep, I know what's causing this bug. It'll be fixed in the next release.

#390: Re: Bug: texture browser misaligned in widescreen mode

by clyde on 04/25/2006 14:41, refers to #370

I found the misalignment persisted regardless of what aspect ration I ran (fullscreen or windowed).

#391: radeon card bug

by Passa on 04/25/2006 16:16

i tried running sauerbraten on another pc today with the following specs
sempron 2600+
512mb ram
xpertvision 128mb radeon 9250

it would not get higher than 0.5fps (shaders would not work anyway for some reason) at any resolution with any drivers. i tried the xpertvision ones, the ones from the ati site and the latest omega ones. none made a difference.

does anyone else have a 9250 out there who can test this out on their card?

reply to this message

#392: Re: radeon card bug

by CC_machine4 on 04/25/2006 18:53, refers to #391

my brother has those same specs except with a P4 2.8ghz rather than a sempron.. and it runs fine

and it was from a different manufaturer not xpertvision

#393: More shader problems

by enigma_0Z on 04/25/2006 21:06

What: When I start the _new_ sauer, it's realllllly slow.

How: Start the new version of sauer, I think it's dependand on my hardware...

When: Sauer Shader Edition, ATi Radeon 9000, Linux (Ubuntu Dapper Drake), ATi Drivers 8.24.8.

Detail: Someone else had mentioned this bug, here's some output from my screens that my be helpful:

--fglrxinfo--
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: RADEON 9000 DDR Generic
OpenGL version string: 1.3.1060 (X4.3.0-8.24.8)
--/fglrxinfo--

--sauer output (line #'s added)--

2 init: enet
3 init: video: sdl
4 init: video: mode
5 init: video: misc
6 init: console

18 init: mainloop
19 read map packages/base/metl3.ogz (0.7 seconds)
20 Cyclops by metlslime
21 game mode is ffa/default

Could the WARNING on line 9 be part of the prob? Is there a way I can force it to forget about shaders?

#394: Oh yeah...

by enigma_0Z on 04/25/2006 21:07

And the older versions worked great, perfectly, if I do say so myself...
