Sauerbraten - Bug reports

by Gilt on 11/28/2004 19:49, 574 messages, last message: 06/30/2007 22:00, 527850 views, last view: 11/05/2024 19:47

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 really couldn´t think of a map where that would happen. There´s also clip.

I was just in a game where one player had a name consisting of about a thousand spaces. That made the playerlist too wide to fit on my display, I just saw the top and bottom border.

Besides this, he had a shotgun and rockets even during instagib, which had like a repeat-mode so he could fire with a _very_ high rate. Oh yeah, he was IDDQD, too.

#484: Fragment Program Exceeded Native Resources

by Quin on 03/18/2007 04:17

Sauerbraten gives me this error on startup, the game still runs, but it is very disconcerting [annoying] (enough to ask for it to be fixed before the next release). I realise I can just remove the steepworld shader, but I'd rather not edit a core cfg while working with CVS.

#485: "Improved" Entity Editing Problems

by Quin on 03/18/2007 04:33

The new entity editing features in current CVS now leave alot to be desired. Here is a short summary of the problems:

* Entities align to according to their bounding box when using "entselsnap 1" instead of the current gridsize.
* Moving entities along any axis does not always yield the expected result.

Some screenshots to demonstrate:

* http://qreeves.googlepages.com/sb02.jpg - Demonstrates bounding box alignment, and current selection ready for being moved.
* http://qreeves.googlepages.com/sb03.jpg - Shows the result of attempting to move the entity one interation along the X axis.

#486: Mapmodel problems

by kurtis84 on 03/18/2007 14:29, refers to #485

The current cvs, and maybe previous ones, have a problem of mapmodels vanishing after a calclight. The entity is still in the map, but the model doesn't render, and they do not cast shadows. Savemap then loadmap and they render again, but there is no shadows.

I want to say this has something to do with the entity selection, since it happens on ents I've moved recently.

Also, the ability to modify a heightmap while it's selected is not working. I can still make a heightmap, and use smoothmap, but there is no modifying it with the scroll.

About the ent selection, I thought it works well, the way it highlights which side of the model we select on. All we have to do, is aim before clicking to use it properly. I have had no troubles with this so far.

#487: crackly sound

by {LiD}CC_machine_ThatLinuxNewb_newathlondualcorebox;) on 04/01/2007 15:24

what: my sound is crackly in sauerbraten, esp. when playing music

how: run sauerbraten or cube, it always happens

environment:
-xubuntu Linux (ubuntu with xfce instead of GNOME) 7.04 (feisty beta ;),
-amd athlon dualcore 4200 am2, geforce 6600 with latest nvidia drivers, 512mb of ddr2ram, asus m2n-e motherboard with \"nForce 570 Ultra\" chipset (though it isn\'t integrated graphics lol).
I\'ve built this system myself so i don\'t know if it\'s my fault or not...

notes: also happens with cube and EDM(source mod/fork of sauerbraten.)
-I have tried fiddling with soundbufferlen and sound/musicvol commands, no luck.
-Tried default sound drivers/device and \"HDA NVidia\" in the sound mixer, no difference.
-This doesn\'t happen with my music apps or anything else, only sauerbraten, cube and mods.

#489: heightfield troubles

by kurtis84 on 04/01/2007 16:18, refers to #488

Gilt: I'm getting crashes while editing heightfields. I'm not sure how I can help to point out a cause, since it's not really consistant...any ideas?

#490: Re: heightfield troubles

by kurtis84 on 04/01/2007 17:05, refers to #489

Ok, it's not the heightfield mode, it's just crashing while in edit mode...not getting a message either.

#491: Re: crackly sound

by Passa on 04/02/2007 08:28, refers to #487

I get the exact same problem with crackly sound:

Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy with 87XX Nvidia drivers (latest ones from the repository).

I have a Pentium 4 3.2GHz, 2GB RAM, GeForce 7800GT, Gigabyte 8I-915P Duo Pro motherboard with integrated sound.

by Aardappel_ on 04/02/2007 08:29, refers to #490

if you are not getting any stacktrace when sauer crashes, that usually means the crash was not happening inside sauer code, i.e. in a driver.

unless you have case where we can reproduce this... its going to be hard to track down. Did this start happening since the last release? Gilt, did you change anything editing related recently?

if i turn the volume RIGHT DOWN in my system mixer and right up on my speakers it seems to be fixed but it's too quiet for my taste and loud(close) rocket explosions are still crackly :(

note: happens with and without beryl running aswell :(

Start alsamixer and lower PCM to half, or lower if you need to, and then raise Master.

#496: Re: heightfield troubles

by baby rabbit on 04/02/2007 22:16, refers to #492

There seems to be a general bug... basically to repeat do a /newmap 17 then start deleting big cubes, especially those that are fogged in the distance.

Eventually I get a:
Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE (0x0002) at 0x00000010

Thread 0 Crashed:

4 sauerbraten 0x00047630 gl_drawframe(int, int, float) + 1224 (rendergl.cpp:660)

I'm digging around but nothing obvious yet. I note if I disable destroyvbo(..) then the bug seems to go away - but thats not a fix ;-)

#497: Re: heightfield troubles

Is this on an older ATI card perchance? Those drivers use to have a bug related to deleting VBOs which used to make sauer crash on exit... but I suppose with editing this is now worse.

x800XT on a PPC G5 - obsolete architecture true, but card not that old, drivers are up to date by Apple's standards...
