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:

#45: Re: Convex/Concave slopes

by jerrybean on 01/09/2005 22:03, refers to #44

I havn't been able to reproduce the concave surface... yet. :) I'll try some more.

I can tell that TOG's screenshot is of a version after vertex arrays were introduced, as it has the vertex coloring error caused by it (the solid colored cubes).

No, I cannot reproduce that cancave cube at all.

When you first load the map it is fine. When you start moving it (HOM) starts but only in that one map. Also when I edit the map I get some crazy texture related bugs (each cube uses a random texture). It happens with all versions of sauer.

I don't mean to be annoying but I tried editing Nieb's map with the 1.13 release and the "undo buffer" gets bigger but I don't see any of the changes.

I tried versions 1.1, 1.6, 1.7, and 1.13. Thay *all* make the cube appear concave.

TOGos:
What processor are you running on, x86 or something else? Could this be a LSB/MSB issue? If not, I'm stumped. I cannot reproduce it at all.

#56: Re: Convex/Concave slopes

Windows box with a Pentium 4, Radeon 9800 Pro, Omega 2.5.58 drivers. You're sure it's not a video card issue? As I've said, The physics behave as if the cube is convex. It only *looks* concave.

#57: version1.13

by nieb on 01/19/2005 17:08

i just downloaded 1.13 and i cant edit anything....and it only happens on my nmp4 map(that i know of, i tried editing in the default map and it worked) it shows the undo thingy like as if it where doing something but the tri doesnt change and nothing visually happens but if you go into game mode its as if the cube you made/edited is there you just cant see it. weird

#58: ..

by DrRatchet on 01/31/2005 06:24

What: newmap creates an empty map, nothing but gray, can't select or edit anything (there is nothing to select).
Also, loading map "tiny" results in the same empty world.

How: Start Sauer. "map tiny". OR, enter edit mode. From the menu, select map ops -> create new map, any size.

When: CVS source as of Sun Jan 30, built on gentoo Linux.

Fix for #58 now in CVS. Thanks DrRatchet.

#62: Copy paste hang crash

by TOGoS_uih12eh8912 on 03/03/2005 23:18

What: locks up and I have to re-boot.

How: /newmap 10, try to copy and paste one of the big (1/8 map) blocks.

When: 1.13

Also, if I remove one of the blocks, there\\\'s weirdness under it, as if there are some negative edges or inside-out cubes.

reply to this message

by staffy2005 on 03/04/2005 11:14

what: tri and wvt display negative numbers

How:
- unsure

when: 1.13


what: Textures are not visible

How:
- Add custom textures to sauer and change the textures of some cubes.
(doesn't happen most of the time)

when: 1.13


what: Sauer locks up

How:
- Edit 1/2 or more of a 256 x 256 map in one go. (may be to do with undo buffer.)
(similar to bug above)

when: 1.13
