Are all the error fixing (as 551) going to reach 3.6.9. too? Or are 3.6.9. and CVS completely diferent branches?

[redmenace]

I would imagine that it would since 551 has been a long standing bug.

where i can see the changelog of new builds?

[karajorma]

This page will show you all the changes in the code.

Bug fixes go into both branches. New features go into CVS only.

I can't imagine why we'd want to keep codebase commits secret. But if I let the cat out of the bag I'm sorry.

I notice that the Kara build from 5/9 must have nebula effects but these ones don't. I know because I tried an ITDOH mission that has nebulas in it with that Kara older build, but when I used the 7/1 CVS build, no nebulas appeared. Is it the build or is there something else that was wrong?

Have you downloaded alpha patches from 3.6.9. RC3 thread? I think your problem is defective media data with the newest buids which DO use image alpha channel.

I would certainly like to see a redmenace optimized compile of the RC builds and especially 3.6.9 final.... as well as his optimized CVS compiles..

[redmenace]

3.6.9 will have an optimized version.

[Cobra]

IMO the P4 optimized version doesn't work as well as the regular version.

[redmenace]

They are very unstable as of late

[Cobra]

Unstable since January?

[neoterran]

I feel the optimized versions are faster.

However, there is a bug in them on alt tab or return to desktop that causes a BSOD in the nvidia miniport driver. I don't have time to catch this with a debug build, but it's happened to me several times.

[CP5670]

Wait, that only occurs in the optimized builds?! I wish I had thought of that possibility earlier. That problem drove me nuts for several months and it only went away when I changed video cards (and still occurs on my other machine).  I have always used the optimized builds in the past, but I definitely need to give the normal one a try on the other computer and see if it fixes this.

You do know that on the SCP page several years back, everybody could sign up for mail notifications on all commits, right ?

I'm reading all of your dirty hacks

Dirty Whore.

I'm still getting CTDs on startup with r-builds (not P4 builds) occasionally - that is it starts happening from time to time preventing any attempts to play the game but after a while (ltrying 3.6.9 builds and d builds) r builds may again start loading properly - but d-builds run nicely. Also when entering mission if i have used (scripting stuff) plr to get playership i get instant CTD without any errors. When i try to recreate it with d build it runs smoothly and i can not get it crash so i cant find the problems with d builds.

As i only get errorlog.txt reports from these here is the stuff i got, CTD on startup:

Code: [Select]

fs2_open_r-20060703 caused an Access Violation in module ntdll.dll at 001b:7c911e58.
CTD on entering mission:

Code: [Select]

fs2_open_r-20060703 caused an Access Violation in module fs2_open_r-20060703.exe at 001b:00523f43.

Builds will be posted tomorrow. Too tired to do it now. If you want them now, you can grab them off of http://fs2source.warpcore.org/exes/latest/July2006/
