wow.. that image is perfect!
that alone wants me to play KP. love the logo!
You should definitely put that picture everywhere where people might read about KP, and use the logo everywhere!

But, as an engine dev, it's the automated pathfinder test that was supposed to catch your attention!

indeed.. sounds interesting!
as maybe Kloot can make use of it.

doesn't work with current spring master:

[f=0000824] LuaRules::RunCallIn: error = 2, GameFrame, [string "LuaRules/Gadgets/luacob.lua"]:51: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
[string "LuaRules/Gadgets/luacob.lua"]:51: in function 'GameFrame'
[string "LuaRules/Gadgets/hotfixes.lua"]:43: in function <[string "LuaRules/Gadgets/hotfixes.lua"]:40>
(tail call): ?

viewtopic.php?f=14&t=26302

(if not already known)

Line51 of LuaCob.lua?

Sure you don't mean Line46?

And aowww, I thought KP was free of .n, but seems not, I'll still have to make a new version for new Spring.

as the change is backwards compatible, you can just release a new bug-fixed version right away, which would still work with the release version.

Attempt to index field "?" means an index that's not the first (then it knows the name) nor the last (then it just returns nil) in the chain was nil. My guess is that one of the parts in [] is invalid so you get a nil out of one of the UnitDefs maps and then attempt to get an entry from them which triggers the message. So either u.target or GetUnitDefID(u.unit) is not a valid entry.

I don't manage to replicate this particular error. Do you have a replay and the Spring version you used, or can you tell me what you were doing, or what happened using?


Note: There do is a bug around there, related to .n, which happens when a unit is morphing, and which comes out in infolog as:
[f=0004364] LuaRules::RunCallIn: error = 2, GameFrame, [string "LuaRules/Gadgets/luacob.lua"]:46: 'for' limit must be a number
stack traceback:
[string "LuaRules/Gadgets/luacob.lua"]:46: in function 'GameFrame'
[string "LuaRules/Gadgets/hotfixes.lua"]:43: in function <[string "LuaRules/Gadgets/hotfixes.lua"]:40>
(tail call): ?

However, the bug you had, while happening in close proximity code source wise, is different, and I wonder what triggered your bug.

kp4.2 also uses Spring.SetUnitLineage (removed in 0.83) in game_spawn.lua

Yeah, but it redefines the function to one that does nothing if it doesn't exist, in some of the earliest executed part of the Lua. So that (at least in theory) it's retrocompatible with older Spring engine.

For some reason the whole screen turns green when I try to build a window/any other building. What gives?

Excellent. Solved the problem. The geovent highlighter in particular.
