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:

I've gone ahead and taken out the check for ent-only edits.

This should be ok since you don't really need to see the actual sparkly for most edits; the string on the HUD should be good enough.

For edits where you do need to see the ent, like ent dragging... well the ent will always be on-screen anyway.

#455: Spectator respawn

by MeatROme on 07/10/2006 02:04

When viewing an arena mode match a spectator will be respawned at beginning of each round.

I find this unnatural, maybe a small check could be implemented?!

#456: Thanks MeatROme!

by Morosoph on 07/10/2006 05:19

Spurious lights have now been removed!

When I'm done, I'll post my attempt (CC Share Alike on my input); hopefully it won't suck too much!

#457: Spectator can't see BASEs

by MeatROme on 07/13/2006 04:04

I suggest to modify
fpsgame/fps.cpp : line 531ff. to :
if(player1->state==CS_SPECTATOR) {
draw_text("SPECTATOR", 10, 827);
if(m_capture) cpc.capturehud(w, h);
return;
};
and
fpsgame/capture.h +242ff. to :
if cl.player1->state!=CS_SPECTATOR) {
glBlendFunc(GL_ONE, GL_ONE);
bool showenemies = cl.lastmillis%1000 >= 500;
[..]
glDisable(GL_BLEND);
};

although lighting the bases would be nice too .. but this would really also call for forcing 2 teams, namely red & blue on joining a capture game.

#459: Re: Deleting Lights

by NerfLad on 07/18/2006 17:45, refers to #441

Look directly at the blue sparkly, then try it.

My Problem: In Sauer's coop edit, in trying to connect or when someone else tries to connect to a server I am on, the game will suddenly freeze with no way to exit. Luckily, my computer has a hibernate button so I push that, then restart and Sauer will be minimized. I open the task manager and close the Batch file used to run the game so that it crumbles internally. So far this is the only way I can fix this.

Does this happen to anyone else?
Is There a way to prevent this from happening?

max, it may be theoretically a "bug", but it is a pretty benign one. Essentially you have velocity built up from the slope which is being applied as soon as you are free from the wall.

I am not sure if it is worth fixing... I'll leave that to eihrul.

#462: ..

by Officer_Bulbock on 07/22/2006 00:51

Whenever I start up Sauerbraten, I can run around and play fine, load up levels and everything for about 1 and a half minutes, but then it suddenly crashes with the message:

"Win32 exception error: (Some number with a lot of zeroes)"

Can this be fixed?

by Passa on 07/22/2006 01:52, refers to #462

Screenshots of the error or a full error message or console output could help. Could you post your system specifications also?

At first thought, it might have something to do with your drivers.. but I don't think anyone can really help you unless you post some more details.

#466: Sysreq key won't respond for screenshot

by PFL on 07/26/2006 17:35

I normally use the sysreq (Print Screen) key to take screenshots. It seems it doesn't work anymore. If I change the key to anything else it works fine - it just seems to be the one key.

#469: Mac problems

by Silverfish123 on 07/27/2006 17:16

It seems none of the Episode 1 (Wip) Single player maps except # 1 and # 2 actually load on mac, and there are times when sound packages on single player maps don't load, and in editing while changing textures, some of the textures couldn't load.

reply to this message

#470: Re: Mac problems

by MeatROme on 07/27/2006 17:24, refers to #469

WiP == "Work in Progress" ... read - not finished, previous release only had the first map.
Stay Tuned For More!

Please give more detailed info on the sound/texture problems.
Look into the stdout.txt or wherever your console log goes to and find the lines regarding these errors.
Maybe these'll turn out to be self-explanatory?!
