v20 bugs and crashes

[strategyonly]

Well, if you see it again I still need to pin it down. I have at least one of your save games, but I just couldn't see it happening anywhere. Please be sure to include notes in the post saying which unit it happens to and when (I assume on end-turn generally...?)

OK i finally found where i put the worker stuff:

1. Post 146 - screenshot
2. Post 158 screenshot again.
3, Post 169 screenshots and 2 saved games one turn before and one that has the turn after.

I knew they were someplace, but i have no idea now what SVN was used back then, its been awhile, and i know you d/led it.

OK here WE go again with it crashing on Load, who has one that works from the latest SVN???

Looks like it was me again.

Sounds like you need to test out loading the game before uploading to the SVN, DH.

I always do that. What rev was the last working one?

Did you delete your last units?

 

[ls612]

Did you delete your last units?

Which ones?

 

[strategyonly]

Which ones?

The last ones you submitted:
Huskrl and Tarkan (spelling might be wrong)

nvm, i will do an export and get stuff from there, no biggy.

My stuff isn't the problem, rev. 1742 (the one in which i added the aforementioned units) works like a charm.

What i meant was i might have spelled the words be wrong that "I" wrote.

Discovered an interesting... something.. Not sure if its a bug, just looks like something might not be coded correctly or all the way.. When I was attempting to upgrade my carrier air wing from F4U Corsairs to the next level, P59, the game CTD's. This was only repeatable when I attempted to upgrade the Corsairs, if I didn't do that the game continued just fine. I think this is due to the fact that the Corsairs were still on an aircraft carrier when I attempted to upgrade, and the P59 they were attempting to upgrade into is not a carrier capable aircraft.

Maybe it should be made where the aircraft cannot be upgraded while onboard a carrier. Or also perhaps we should create a new category of aircraft for carrier air wings. I've often thought about suggesting/examing the possibility of defining the aircraft classes more, ala Hearts of Iron.

I believe it's been mentioned before, but Alt-Tabbing out and then back in causes a CTD almost every time for me. Black screen with BtS cursor and then back to desktop.

Some times when I Alt Tab back in I get a freeze frame shot of the whole game on my monitor with taskbar and Desktop Icons on top. This is not one of those.

I've had 3 of these since Friday. I believe I have revision 1739 but I'm not positive. I forgot how to find it after you update. And I updated this morning.
Minidump and save attached.

Post a save game with exact instructions on what to do from the save to repeat the crash please

Are you running with the show buildings setting turned down to 2 or lower?

I Alt-Tab out all the time to check the forum and it has never caused me a problem. I use 2 for the buildings.

 

[JosEPh_II]

No.
I forgot to do that. And I forgot where to make the change.

I'm turning 60 in a week. I guess I'm slowing down.

So could someone point me in the direction and place I need to go? Please.

I have just posted a fix for this. @Vokarya, this is your wonder could you please check I have done the correct thing.

Hi, just noticed this. It looks right to me. I'll have to see if it does what I designed if I get a chance to build it in my current game. I never used kTriggeredData when I wrote the code, but it was my first attempt at Python, so I'm not completely sure what has to be used.

Something else I noticed while actually playing the game: Circus Maximus seems incredibly difficult to build. I think the issue is the scaling of the Hippodrome requirement with map size. I was playing on a Huge map, and I don't think anyone can get to 6 Hippodromes, given that you typically need Horses in a city radius to build a Hippodrome in that city. Am I missing something?

How far away are you from getting the Great Farmer, but you do have to have at least one horse in your area first to work?
