I merged my codebase with the current CVS tree, so I'm looking for bug reports. The skinning errors with the Lab (secret feature) are known.

This will need to be updated.  A hidden bug snuck into my weapon button code, making the weapon scroll bars act all strange.  It's been fixed in CVS.

[WMCoolmon]

Yeah, this build was built right after I commited my codetree into CVS. I'm interested in how many bugs were carried over, mostly, so I know which ones to try and fix.

Tease.

I don't know if this is a bug, or a "casual" freeze. In the (lab) secret feature after clicking one of the ships to see its LODS, the game simply froze and begun to emit this terrible, high-pitched sound. Obviously I had to reboot the whole machine, as none of the keys responded.

Oh and BTW, the same crash has occured only once before this. I think it was Featurez build, can't remember if it was the first build or it's update.

Any similar experiences, anyone ?

I'm behind schedule testing
Gonna try this one tonight

link would appear to be broken on this end at this time (9:22 PM Eastern)

[WMCoolmon]

Hmm, the link is working for me...maybe Warpcore was having trouble.

I'll go over the ship list code again. Do you remember what ship/LOD?

[Singh]

crash ~5 seconds in-game. No error messages, no nothing. Just freezes. The music continues to play, but other than that, not much else...

[Bobboau]

there is some sort of bug there, any time you select a ship and try selecting another one some model unloading code kicks in and screws something up, or something like that, it wasn't my bug and I figured you knew about it.

some sort of error in model_unload which somehow gets called from within Tree::DoMouseUp (I'm guessing some sort of whily function pointers are being used here) when ever you select a second ship

[Bobboau]

hey WMC, update your code and update your build, I fixed that bitmap list error thing

WMCoolmon, if my memory unit serves me well (which may not)
I think the ship in question was bomber, I believe it was GTB Artemis D.H. But again, after a well-slept night one can not be completely sure.

Again, has anyone else encountered this apparently rare but most annoying...situation ?

[StratComm]

Another interface bug in the secret feature; when I try to collapsean entry in the ship list, the sides of the ship list window go completely vertical and I can no longer select (or close) the window.  All clicks enact techroom-like rotation, regardless of the presence or absence of that window.  Other windows aren't affected as far as I can tell though.  Oh, and still no scrollbars on the ship list

And you also won't let me enter a negative value into ship fields which should be exclusively negative (ship position (z) comes to mind) so that probably needs to be tweaked as well.

This is definetely getting serious, just inside 15 minutes I have experiences two more similar crashes. (BTW I was playing the Inferno for the first time, when it happened)

First time: I tried to enter techroom, or options. Result: Black Screen, no CTD, nothing. Except that terrible, continuous, high-pitced screech. If it were more than that, I'd swear my PC would become Shadow Battlecrab !

Anyway, second time: I was looking those lods again, still in Inferno-mod, This time it was Vasudan ship, since it was my first time, I can't really remember its name but it was fighter alright.
Result: Just like the above.

Should this be reported on Mantis ?

Before I go to sleep. FOURTH CRASH ! I entered the techroom, watched the LOD-0 of the Vasudan Destroyer (Inferno). Result: continuous beeeeeeeeeeee........going on forever. Something fishy is lurking on this build, something really fishy......

I'll check back tommorow. G'Night you'all

Bugs with your recent builds (probably in this one as well). Ballistics seem to be broken or have been changed. When I put in the appropriete table entries (according to the Wiki) and ran your builds after a few seconds of displaying the start up screen the mouse cursor appears and FS2 does NOT start. After removing the ballistics stuff the build works fine however.

Oh and there are some major issues with the -show ship feature. Weapon effects, suns, etc, are all rendered on top of the shown ship (?) and collisions result in part of the displayed model sinking into the object being collided with.

[starfox]

Greetings ! I may have found at least temporary fix to the Freeze-Reboot Bug I mentioned above. Here's how it goes:
Enter the WMCoolmon's Shiplab (Secret Feature), press "show ship" button and watch the Ship-LOD you like. When you are done and want to watch another ship, DO NOT jump straight on to the next ship. Instead CLOSE the current "show ship" window and open it up again, then take a look at the ship you like. Repeat this as many times as you like.

After this little trick I have not experienced a single crash. I know it's a little clumsy, but it the safe way. After all, who wants constants, forced reboots. So anyone who is suffering from this, feel free to try out.

[StratComm]

Must be related to the inability to collapse an entry in the ships list, actually, since it sounds like it's happening at the same time.

[taylor]

This is what's basically going on when it freezes up.  Does it every time for me when I click on a ship name, click on the LOD, click back on the ship name.  This goes on for a while and it ends up in weird bmpman stuff as well at various points.  It's usually about to kill my machine at that point though, using up over 2gig of memory.

[starfox]

Yup, that's it ! Any chance it is fixed on the next build ?

[Unknown Target]

This build just plain doesn't work for me. My ship, which works in every build prior, gives me all sorts of strange errors in this build, such as missing subsystems (I didn't put any on the model yet, so it *****es at me and crashes), and various other unintellible items. If you want, and when I get more time, I'll put it back on and give you some of them.
