ttlanhil Report post Posted July 21, 2006 (edited) I've seen a number of reports of crashes when using #cls. unfortunately, I haven't had it myself, which makes it hard to debug. still, I've changed a few things, and I'm hoping that it'll fix it. I need people who regularly get crashes on #cls to test it though the client is here: http://users.on.net/~gingerman/elc_ttlanhil_review.exe you'll need my usual .dlls and stuff (this is the review client that my installer will get, so if you prefer to use that, feel free) note that there are few changes from clean CVS: 1: a change in how #cls is done. it should be faster as well as, hopefully, solving the bug. 2: a test command, #flood, to fill your buffers. if you only get the #cls crashes when the chat buffer is full (ie there's that flicker on the main when the chat text moves up, and you've been online at least a few hours) then you can easily use #flood to fill it. note: #flood may take a couple of seconds to finish, depending on your computer. give it a little while before assuming the client locked up 3: an extra check to make sure that #flood messages don't go to chat_log.txt (which is sorta part of change 2) anyone who has had the #cls bug more than a few times, please try this client out, and report any crashes on #cls (that means giving it a good work-out). if you've givven it a good work-out, and no crashes, or if you do get a crash when you use #cls, please let me know Edited July 21, 2006 by ttlanhil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another problem I remember which my be related was #cls didn't always remove all the lines. I was thinking then that both might be related to also calling the line wrap function while each line was being removed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking then that both might be related to also calling the line wrap function while each line was being removed.which is pointless when removing all the messages anyway.the patch is here, including the #flood command Edited July 21, 2006 by ttlanhil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ttlanhil Report post Posted July 21, 2006 I only crash using #cls when I'm in console mode. Hope that helps any.possibly, things are a bit different when it's trying to show the consoleErm.... mine also crashes when you type #cls while the console is open... EDIT: It didn't crash the second time I done it... o.O console open = in console? are you both talking about current client, with more info on the bug, or with the client I posted above?

Ravenod Report post Posted July 22, 2006 I know you wanted only reports on any bugs for the client you listed above, but I was referring to the current game client. I should've clarified that in my original post, I thought I'd help pinpoint the problem by posting my experience. So sorry if I've confused you, just trying to help.

ttlanhil Report post Posted October 26, 2006 when doing #cls in rendered mode and then switching to console mode too quick. Hmm... I wonder if that's it... something else messing with the console before #cls is finished (eg: new message from the server)... if so, you'd only expect it to sometimes crash, not as often as it seems to, but still...Well, when you fixed this problem, maybe you could look at mine. or I could not, since you were so rude as to try to hijack a thread on a different topic, that's not even finished yet, when there's already similar stuff you should have searched for Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Atlantis Report post Posted October 26, 2006 yes, that's it. I just tested a few times, when I #cls and switch to console before a new message comes in, it will crash. If I let a message from the server come in before I console, it's not a problem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
