New client binaries for testing

Recommended Posts

julianvc, if you would like to PM me details of how to get to your guild map, I'll look into why the client is crashing to see if I can handle the errors more gracefully.

Can you try turning off different options in the client, including turning down the viewing distance, special effects, etc? To see if anything fixes crashing in that map.

I've found and fixed the problem, git updated.  It was related to handling invalid object references when loading the map.  It should not occur on up to date maps.

The fix seems to have also fixed the random crashing I was getting on some guild maps, and FPS isn't getting bogged down in the spot I said it was. So this may have been a two-bugs-one-stone fix.

SEEING OLD MAPS?

 

If you installed the above versions and are on Test server but not seeing new stuff, go to  /.elc/test/ and delete the el.ini file in it. (Or if you know what you're doing, change the #data_dir in it to where your test 1.9.5 is installed.)

 

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU'RE SEEING NEW MAPS?

 

Go to 373, 112 in Idaloran. You should be standing between a new palace to your north and soldier barracks building to the south.

 

If you're seeing plain grass and trees, you're looking at an old map.

Bluap, it seems that the version you provided with the installer still used the old version number (27 instead of 28). Can you please compile a new one form git and remake the installer?

Also, in the default el.ini please put new selection to 1.

That's a bit annoying for everyone. I'm ready sorry. I see what I can do tonight but it may be limited for another week.

I've rebuilt the Linux static binaries which can be downloaded from the above links. The Linux installer will have to wait a few days until I can rebuild.

The Windows client sometimes crashes on exit, especially if I had it on for a long time (over a day), though I think I got a crash after less than that.

Next time, can you post the last few lines of the log file. Was there any indication of where or why the crash happened from windows?

Reading books and (warning) signs on a Mac(Air)

 

Hi Everyone,

 

I like reading books and signs in the game.

Don't mix this up with reading books needed for manufacture, mining, crafting items.

 

I used to use Windows machine, now I using a MacAir

(

Modelname:    MacBook Air

Modelaanduiding:    MacBookAir6,2
Processorname:    Intel Core i7
Processorspeed:    1,7 GHz

Systeemversie:    OS X 10.10.5 (14F2511)
  Kernelversie:    Darwin 14.5.0
  Opstartvolume:    Macintosh HD
  Opstartmodus:    Normaal)

 

But when I 'right click' on a book, instead of 'reading' it, the cursor switches from 'walk' to 'sit', then to 'Look at' then to 'Use'.

 

Might it be possible to have a 'read book/sign'  option?

or at least have the keyswitch so it can be defines?

(like in 

 

Edit:

Ofc,

-I've tried the 'Emulate a 3 Button Mouse'.

-Also bought a normal mouse, connected it, but still unable to read signs or books.

 

but the program keeps 'cycling' from 'walk' to 'sit', to 'Look at', to 'Use' and back.

/Edit

 

Edit 2:

in the meantime i have read some books, but certain books don't work.

 

Found working books:

-  book 1 I have your bag at the Beam My Friend (IP)

- book 2 A Rabbit's life (IP) 

- book 3 The Rise and fall of Sedicolis (tavern)

- book 4 Kalanthro the Troll Slayer (GP, cabin)

- book 5 The Monster of Ghealan Sea (Naralik 41,160)

 

non working book:

- Kelcha's Diary (Naralik Catacombs 165,154) (needed for quest)

That one will *only* work when asked for in the quest. It's not a generally readable book.

Ok, I think I found how to crash it. If I log on my phone on Gicu, who is in my buddy list, the desktop client with Radu crashes....

Is that a crash even before exit or only on exit after you have the buddy log on?

I've been unable to reproduce this problem on Window or Linux and a quick check with a buddy login looks OK too.

I've produced a new Windows binary that outputs debug to the log file for each function called on exit.  The version string is tagged with (Debug Exit).

The crash is only on exit. Also make sure the body logs out before you exit.

OK, so that points in the direction of the function that cleans up the buddy memory.  I've added more debug and rebuilt the debug client (Debug Exit +1) which is in the same place as before.  I still cannot reproduce this though.  Could you be more specific about the sequence of events?  The order of login, whether the buddy window has been opened, how may buddies in your list, how many other active buddies, that kind of thing. Thanks.

Progress. That's probably the same place I just added additional debug into the cleanup_mem() function. So we can see the buddy stuff closed OK but the crash happened in the destroy_all_actors() call. I'll see what I can fine now.
