Yet another delay - pd - 16.08.2006

I'm pretty sorry that I have to anounce just another delay before the RockPatch release.

The result of the test phase is that there are still some things to check, support for The First Decade support for example, among others.

So, I'm asking everybody to stay patient for a while.
The fixes should not take too much time.

RE: Yet another delay - VK - 16.08.2006

What things?

RE: Yet another delay - pd - 16.08.2006

- Support for patching original 1.001, T.F.D. 1.001, 1.07 and 1.07b
- for Marshall, the campaign list freezes, reason is unknown
- for DCoder, several SHP files (FOG.SHP, SHROUD.SHP, and a tib tree SHP) aren't loaded from the mix files and cause IEs after or before loading a game, an exact reason is unknown as well

For Droke (a.k.a. ZombyDragon), Speeder and Apollo, everything works fine.
It's mainly the patcher that has to be worked on right now, the two other errors will take time to trace down.
It seems already that they're gonna be rare cases... which doesn't mean we shouldn't fix them.
We shall wait and see how many people get those errors. I expect little.
But the more reports there are, the more information we get...

EDIT:
there's a pretty dangerous part of code that caused IEs for both Apollo and Droke. I'll have to fix that one, too.
@CnCVK, I'll give you details later

It's EXE problem or patcher problem?!
Quote:I expect little
I think too
However I found a small bug in saving codeWink
But who really will find it(from moders)?

well, since all the patcher does it install the patch, and the error occurs ingame, it can only be an EXE problem

if you found a bug, its worth fixing at this bugfixing stage.

RE: Yet another delay - pd - 17.08.2006

@ CnCVK:
please tell me what to fix and where

I got to send Marshall a fixed exe anyways (radiation), so it could include that savegame fix as well.

RE: Yet another delay - VK - 17.08.2006

I forgot about it....
But better fix it in 1.09 when you rewrite some code.
(Use CHAR szLStormText[32] instead LPSTR lpLStormText = strdup(...))
But who really save the game at THIS moment....

RE: Yet another delay - pd - 17.08.2006

using a char array costs a lot space in the class data though, I wanted to save space...

RE: Yet another delay - VK - 17.08.2006

Quote:costs a lot space
Not very moreWink
Westwood used arrays for saved strings.
Rewrite all LPSTR lpStr to CHAR szStr[32], plsSmile

RE: Yet another delay - pd - 17.08.2006

will do later Tongue

RE: Yet another delay - Guest - 18.08.2006

PD will you remove the old mutate/inf death code?

RE: Yet another delay - Bobingabout - 18.08.2006

i can answer this 1.
1.08 has the old infdeath/mutation removed. which will require mods to update to the new method, and current mods to use the older patch.

RE: Yet another delay - pd - 18.08.2006

you can use the InfDeathAnimFixer tool for this (it's available on my homepage -> downloads -> tools)

this page covers the important changes of 1.08:

RE: Yet another delay - pd - 18.08.2006

i'm pretty much stuck on a radiation problem right now, it might be necessary to recode it all, I'll see...
right now I'm tired of it, I'll try later today or tomorrow

RE: Yet another delay - Bobingabout - 18.08.2006

if i may ask... whats wrong with it now?
