after installing the test version, replays now try to start with that when doubleclicked. i think when you select 'portable' file assignment should not change.

That is a problem in general..what if you have ie gundam and KP installed?
Only one game can use the doubleclick-on-replay=play thing, other intall will not have the map/game.

Yes Forb I'm afraid you were, please calm down. You say you have many lua errors. Ok;

• what are they?
• Do they result in an error in the infolog we can see?
• Which gadgets or widgets in Evo do we need to look at?
• How is the behaviour of this lua changed from 82.7?

I recommend sound recordings, they're far more effective at saying shutup & listen I have a sound bug and its real, than saying "shutup & listen, I have a sound bug and its real"

@knorke:

if distributed with a game, the file-extension shouldn't be registered: so use the minimal-portable in your custom installer/distribution method. if you want to use the installer, then install unattended with /NOREGISTRY: http://answers.springlobby.info/questio ... unattended

just to call more attention to it:
thread on shadows issue

Pardon me for being a bit frustrated. In my last post I bolded the bugs I was reporting, therefore, I thought it was very plain. Apparently not.

Ok, the sound culminating...

Exactly what I said. If I take lets say 20 light allterrain raiders and fire them at the same time, the sound peaks (if you don't understand what peaking means please just ask me, it will save a lot of confusion later). This should be fixed by: A limiting sounds that would make it peak, B lowering the threshold for layered sounds (in other words, dynamically adjusting the volume of sounds if they are going to cause peaking), C something I haven't even thought of.

Sound volume... I think I explained this well enough already, but I'll repeat myself. Start a tank shooting, then zoom out. The sound should lessen in volume. It doesn't. This is a bug.

Pathing... I wasn't really reporting this as a bug. Basically, a factory had a waypoint on a mex spot, then I built a mex there. Units still tried to go inside the mex instead of stopping short. I don't even know if this is a bug.

LUA broken... I thought this was a problem that I have to sort through. Don't get me wrong, I need help in the worst way to get it sorted as I'm not really smart enough to do it on my own, but I was under the impression that you guys would say it's a problem with the lua and not the engine therefore shovel it off and I'm not sure I would blame you.

That said, here is a list off the top of my head:
ÔÇó Groupmove Widget
ÔÇó Smart Select (This has to be fixed in the evo code, it cannot simply be overwritten because I have some important customizations) Widget
ÔÇó Engine Hotfixes gadget (this is the one that destroys features in an area where something is being built)

There is more but I'm not sure what right this second, I can be more thorough after further testing.
Evo code repository is here: https://code.google.com/p/evolutionrts/ ... iondev.sdd

http://pastebin.com/fBUXEVSH << this is my infolog

Somewhat incongruent. There's really no reason why any of your lua should be broken now that wasn't broken when the last test release was done. But anyway;

What's wrong with hotfixes and smart select?

New bug, new thread.
http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=26684
If anyone can reproduce it, I will post to mantis.

Oops, smart select is working fine, it's this widget that isn't showing up (doesn't error out, just doesn't show up): viewtopic.php?f=23&t=23548&start=60

unit_shapes works now, probably due to zervers mantis #2511 commits?

Also I fixed the other lua issues Forb was having.

I can confirm that if a group of units have a destination, and a building is placed in their way after the order is given, the units pathing instructions do not get updated. (Had this happen yesterday when i was moving a big groupd of units around. They had a move order across the map iirc, and my engineer was going around making mexes, plopped one right in their path about 10 seconds before they got there. Some of the tanks got very stuck on the side of the mex, trying to go through it as tho it were not there.

However, that said, the yardmap on the mex was all fucked up, so if that has any relevance then please take that into account.

Test again with a fixed yardmap?

summary:

- i could reproduce was that sound is overdriven: http://springrts.com/mantis/view.php?id=2622
- sound is 2d only: http://springrts.com/mantis/view.php?id=2623
- installer/settings should be already fixed in current master/new springsettings
- lua is maybe already reported as this bug: http://springrts.com/mantis/view.php?id=2511

for the other bugs, more info needed: how to reproduce?

Busy atm, plan to as soon as I have time. But I figured that if I said something then at least others could check and see if they can replicate.

Edit: It was in fact a yardmap issue. Fixing the yardmaps properly resulted in correct behavior.

probably already aware.. but hills on the map edges are having broken shadows again.

map rocky glacier.

I don't really know of a better way to describe it.

it only happens at maps edge.
