  @ comically over-the-top reaction.

HOLY **** dude!  How many times do we have to say that the damn thing was fixed MONTHS AGO!!!!

  @ comically over-the-top reaction.

Our previous 15-20 responses of "Yes, the redalert bug has been fixed and will be resolved in 3.6.10." didn't seem to be doing the trick, so I thought that I'd try something a little different this time.

[KeldorKatarn]

Bug in vecmat.cpp:

Comment mentions the third paramter can be NULL, but never checks for it and always tries to normalize it.
If this function is used with the third paramter being NULL, the game crashes.
I'll ask Backslash to commit this fix so no need for someone else to do it. Just wanted to mention this here, in case someone
might find out that this was actually causing some crashes that haven't been explained yet...

That function isn't used anywhere.  I've been meaning to just remove it, but haven't really cared enough to go through the trouble yet.

The _norm() version of that function should be used instead, and with that one it is safe to have fvec as NULL.

Well.. I am using it in a new feature I implemented .. so please keep it *g* besides.. with this change it works perfectly well and one doesn't have to normalize all input vectors manually first

Not to necro or anything, but did this get any serious bites?

Not that I know of.

[Goober5000]

None whatsoever.

KeldorKatarn has a good shot at earning some cash here, since he wasn't a SCP member when this started, but he hasn't asked for any Mantis bugs to be assigned to him yet.

[jr2]

I see they're offering a one dollar bounty on bugs.

I could post on elance.com and get some programmers in India to fix them for 25 cents apiece.

[Goober5000]

Well, if he posted about it, I haven't heard anything.

[jr2]

Well, if he posted about it, I haven't heard anything.

He didn't.  That's a quote from a PM.

Well? 

[Goober5000]

Well I won't hear anything unless he posts, will I?

[Mongoose]

If I had a compiler installed and CVS set up and knew what the heck I was doing, I might have taken a shot at this, money or no money; those three semesters of C/C++ classes have to have been worth something.  I don't know that I'd have the time now to do anything serious, but having that option would be nice.  Maybe one of these days I'll look into it.

[Goober5000]

It's September 30th and so far we've had a grand total of 0 Mantis bugs fixed on account of the drive.

I've fixed several bugs on my own in that time, though.

[Mongoose]

Hey, I've been doing my utmost to get this CVS bit up and running and start poking around, but after apparently being completely stymied with Cygwin, I'll have to give something else a shot before I can get going.

[Goober5000]

I've fixed several bugs on my own in that time, though.

Indeed you have.  Maybe I should amend the contest to include SCP members who joined less than one year ago...

[jr2]

You been putting Google ads on developer sites?    And what about StumbleUpon... 

[CP5670]

It's September 30th and so far we've had a grand total of 0 Mantis bugs fixed on account of the drive.

I was always expecting that given the current rules on who can participate. It might be better to just reward anyone who fixes bugs, regardless of their SCP affiliation.

[karajorma]

Yeah but if Taylor started up again you'd probably be paying him an actual wage.

[blackhole]

Since its not a secret anymore, I helped taylor fix a few bugs in the GLSL shader code. I can't actually recieve donations, so its rather null, but i was just wondering if it counted...?

[karajorma]

Well it's appreciated for certain but technically I don't think it would count since the bugs weren't in Mantis and were for a new feature.
