don't use MT with gundam RTS

Post by smoth »

[04:53:21] <APERSON> heh you might already know this but I just realised that it's multi-threading version of spring that's causing the UI crashes
[04:54:42] <APERSON> I mean I have basically the same computer as another bloke has, the same amount of RAM, same CPU but different GFX card
[04:54:55] <APERSON> and when I use MT spring, UI crashes
[04:55:07] <APERSON> and that bloke is on the single-core spring
[08:06:59] <smoth> you, were, using multithread....
[08:07:01] <smoth> >:|
[08:07:12] <smoth> I HATE ZERVER SO MUCH RIGHT NOW
[08:07:13] <APERSON> yeah
[08:07:15] <APERSON> :D
[08:07:22] <APERSON> heh why's that?
[08:07:32] <APERSON> because MT doesn't work with every mod/game?
[08:07:33] <smoth> A lot of people are under the impression that MT works. it doesn't
[08:07:39] <APERSON> yeah that's true
[08:07:46] <APERSON> it works for CA, XTA and BA
[08:07:48] <APERSON> and NOTA
[08:07:48] <smoth> it isn't about every game
[08:07:50] <smoth> it is about LUA
[08:08:10] <APERSON> yeah but it doesn't cause any LUA issues with TA based mods
[08:08:17] <smoth> yeah
[08:08:22] <smoth> they don't use as much lua
[08:08:33] <APERSON> yeah but that's what it's for
[08:08:38] <APERSON> TA based mods

UGH

MT IS NOT Image
(classic gaming reference you are not RED E)

MT is not done yet, there is no disclaimer which is why I am agitated with zerver. I case people for some reason think my language places me over here putting zerver on some hitlist.

mt should come with a disclaimer that it is NOT E

I think Lups being enabled was one of the primary causes of MT being unstable in games. I myself never use Lups in any Spring game anyway so MT works for me in most games.

You're tough, Zerver has been pointing out MT incompatibilities since he's been working on it. He pushes on the refactor around MT to fix last troubles.

He also gave some MT lua workarounds.

Putting blame on you is not enough. I also want to put workload on you.
Add in Gundam RTS a widget that detect Spring is the MT version, and then flash in giant red letters "DO NOT USE MT!"

[10:51:54] <smoth> IS there a way to pickup the engine version

[10:52:03] <smoth> like I can pick up if the engine is MT

[10:52:14] <smoth> and KILL THE GAME with an error message

[10:54:35] <person> smoth, check if string Game.version contains full version or just part of it

[10:56:07] <smoth> I can cause spring to asplode

[10:56:14] <smoth> and make a popup box

[10:56:39] <smoth> something like "LOL MT IS FOR GAY DONKEYS! RUN REAL SPRING"

The most appealing option would be just to make it work with w/e it doesn't work with. Of course, that's a complicated and work heavy approach.

I agree. Where "it" represent Spring MT (not GRTS), where the passive formulation is replaced with "spring devs should", and where Spring MT is not released until the complicated work heavy approach is finished and tested and found working on every mod.

It definitely doesn't work with CA. He must have been misinformed.
