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:

#529: fixed

by rcdraco away on 04/27/2007 16:05

fixed, uninstalled McAfee Firewall and forwarded ports for Windows firewall, now I get 199 fps on coopedit, as before. Now I just need to reforward ports to my firewall [black box], then hosting should work I think.

lot of grass on map k_rpg1

Eihrul: I told you to be carefull with those grass seeds!! ;)

...but seriously, I've seen this too...I can fix it by changine the texture under the texture (yes I meant to say that). Looks like subdivision gone wrong, allowing covered cubes to have textures being rendered?

We can see this with the autograss texture, but I cannot help but wonder how much this is happening with textures we don't see, but the engine does.

#532: Bug: Ubuntu Feisty-Crash loading .png

by expatjim on 05/04/2007 07:21

Attempting to load any map with a .png file locks up linux, and computer must be switched off to reboot.

SP, DMSP, multiplayer maps without .png files load fine.

Occurs at all resolutions/modes, windowed or full screen. Starting as root has no effect.

Computer: Sony Vaio laptop with ATI X600 mobility radeon. Using restricted drivers.

#535: Grass bug

by Acord on 05/06/2007 22:45

Grass juts out past the tile when the top is not a square. Noticable on Aqueduct, looks funky to see grass growing from mid-air.

Specs:
AMD 64 3400+
Windoze XP SP 2
ATI All-in-Wonder 9600

#536: Re: Grass bug

by kurtis84 on 05/06/2007 23:02, refers to #535

Not really a bug, it's caused by the size of the grassgrid being applied to that cube, is larger than the cube itself...uneven edges of terrain with autograss on them will just do this sometimes.

#544: ..

by Passa on 05/21/2007 07:37

Problem: Round of team instagib never ended.. played for over 20 minutes (I joined mid-game) and ended up leaving because it seemed nothing was happening. Didn't update with time in round left or anything either.

Screenie: http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/5922/screenshot895684se8.jpg you can see in the screenie, people with super high scores due to playing for over 20 minutes, this is just after several people left because the round wouldn't end..

Mo' details: It was on jeffz's server, just in case he has a slightly modded server binary, I don't know?

#545: Re: ..

by SanHolo on 05/21/2007 19:27, refers to #544

This happens AFAIK when the server ends a map and noone is online then. There is then no time and the server keeps this map forever.

Simply vote for a map (and hope it passes or grab master and force it) and everything is back to normal.

#546: window effect

by Scovin on 05/30/2007 12:26

I have just started playing Sauerbraten, and have noticed something with the glass:
When I made glass for a window, and looked through it, it looked out over the un-edited land...but the \\\"reflection\\\" was actually just showing the bottom half of the panoramic background, and not the inside of the room, so it had the effect of making the ground 50% transparent....
is this just my computer, or is this a bug?
