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 run Sauerbraten on windows XP home. I have downloaded the latest version of the game.My esc key does not work in the game, I can't access the main menu. I found the command Showgui servers to get a list of servers, but I can't connect any of them and i am alone on a map.

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?

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

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?

You need to place an envmap entity nearby (then do a "recalc" or reload map), otherwise it will just use the skybox as the reflection.

#549: maxparticles slider crash |
by demosthenes
on 06/06/2007 06:44
|
|
I have a custom menu setup for the game options, and my performance options menu has a tab which I was trying different things out with. If I make a guislider using the maxparticles variable ( "guislider maxparticles" ), it crashes Sauerbraten as soon as that tab would be displayed. An otherwise identical menu tab without that slider does not cause the crash.

google suggests the win exception means divide by zero, so I'd hazzard a guess that you're not providing sensible min and max values - either do this when you define your variable, or when you create the gui slider.
Meanwhile, I've no idea what the maxparticles variable is... maybe if you post your script we can say more?

Maxparticles is used by the game itself:
http://sauerbraten.org/docs/config.html#maxparticles
As I said, it's a simple menu option to change the value of that variable. It's simply "guislider maxparticles", which takes the min/max values from the variable itself. The variable's min/max values should be defined by the engine.

I suspect the docs are way out of date - as thats not available in the currrent version... Check that it works from the console?

#554: Different maps on linux/win version |
by foobar
on 06/08/2007 15:39

Linux version from getdeb.net:http://m1.freeshare.us/view/?150fs153322.jpg
Windows version: http://m1.freeshare.us/view/?150fs153464.jpg
The maps look different. Did you update the maps when you made the update, or does the maps just look different on different versions.
In this case it makes it possible if i have the linux version, too shot someone but the person that runs the windows version thinks he hides behind a tree.

Maybe not a bug report, seeing as it seems localised to me, but any help would be appreciated (I don't know if anyone else experiences this problem).
In the most recent versions of CVS, I have noticed a problem with model animations. In some instances, the animation gets stuck on one frame and hangs there for a while.
Example, walking backward from the boxes up the stairs (this gives the player the falling anim, which is not reset):
http://qreeves.googlepages.com/sauerbraten_modelanim.jpg
This is noticeable on both the player and monster models and easily reproducible for me, but I can't for the life of me figure out where the problem is coming from.
Note that I am compiling my own with CodeBlocks 1.0 under Windows -- the binaries in CVS work fine.

Events are somehow being carried over to spawns. Most notably the death sound. Someone dies, respawns fast, and the death sound teleports with him to his new location, giving that away. (especially in instagib, this is a problem).
Also, I noticed I once was shot during a riflejump, and when I spawned ,some upwards movement was carried over as well.
Maybe there also lies the cause for the wrong orientations at spawn that happen sometimes?
