Development version?

Caydr · Post by **Caydr** » 03 Aug 2006, 04:01

Hi there, I'm dumb. Could someone post a link to the development version for me? I see people talking about it but I don't see a link anywhere...

Why not sticky this with a permanent link which will be kept up-to-date with the latest compile someone's done? Or something like that. Meh. Would be handy, considering how many hard drives I'm going through lately

The dev version is just the svn one. You need to install an SVN client, make it point to https://taspring.clan-sy.com/svn/spring and grab the trunk tree.

Oh, latest compilation? They don't always compile, much less might work as intented; just because it's the lastest, it doesn't mean it's any better than the releases. IMHO, the testing phase for release should be done only with revisions that are trying to be stable, not the ones with dozens of revisions every week(trunk and experimental branches).

That said, the revisions which are trying to stay stable are ways in the tag tree.

But that is just the 0.72b1 code... I assume Caydr means a more recent version built from trunk, including many new features (and bugs too probably) so he can change AA for that.

Anyway, as I barely use windows I can not help you Caydr..

Yeah, I know everyone wanted a "development" version, but last revisions were pretty buggy due to rotating buildings. It's a bit pointless to build an installers for that and then having everyone tell me it's bugged.
Anyway, I'll make one today.

Check download section, this is revision 1747 btw.

Thanks JC. Even if it's mostly broken, there's still a lot of work I could do in advance in anticipation of new features.

Could we have an updated dev version soon? It looks like a lot has been done since the last version was posted.

I second that. Maybe do a weekly dev release in the form of a simple .zip? No installer needed for that one.

Awesome

Error: Gamedata\sensors.tdf not found

Any idea?

~~~

Tried making a dummy file named sensors.tdf, no luck.

Anyone know what to do here?

Yeah, this version is going to rule. Period

Linky no worky... The SVN version always dies on me with "assertion failed" floating_point sumthing so this would be a big help.

Can you give us the exact error so we can attempt to fix it before release?

I heard a "rotating" buildings in there... is there any possiblity of a rotating features option?? even if its ONLY incororated into the XX.tdf file... a "rotation=(1,2,3,4)" meaning 1= 0 degrees, 2= 90 degrees, 3= 180 degrees, and 4= 270 degrees... and possibly code it to understand tho flip the x and z coords of the footprint for 90 and 270 degrees??

that would be uber cool, and easier for map makers.. rather than opening the s3o file, attempting to rotate it, then re-fixing every face, making the textures line up, and then re-doing the bounding sphere, height, and footprints...

and kep me from having to do it for them, and uploading 4 of each file...

just a thought... if its not do-able, ok... but if it is, when you get time, go for it... I'd do it, but frankly, I have a full plate of features to make, people are allready asking my help on units, and I've even got intentions on doing some map work... , and I have no idea where to even start with the code ...

Assertion failed!

Program: J:\Springsource\game\spring.exe
File: rts\Game\Game.cpp
Line: 1454

Expression: good_fpu_control_registers()

[some general talk about assertion failures]

It's possible that I didn't copy all the necessary files over or copied a file that shouldn't be used on the SVN version. The error happens the moment the commander (or other units for other start scripts) is supposed to spawn.

I'm running this on an Athlon 64 in 32bit mode.

Tobi · Post by **Tobi** » 24 Aug 2006, 14:47

No, it is totally unrelated to data files.

It is a pretty serious error actually, apparently something messes up the FPU control register in your build, which basically means that as long as that assert fails it is totally impossible to get that build synced to other builds where the assert doesn't fail. (ie. I really want to know _why_ it fails)

What compiler (name & exact version) was it built with?

Did you use the project files in our SVN (if so, which?) / did you modify the settings or the code?

KDR_11k · Post by **KDR_11k** » 24 Aug 2006, 15:04

I used the stuff that came with the most recent Dev-Cpp version (Mingw32 gcc 3.4.2 apparently), downloaded the SVN trunk, forced the sconscript file to use mingw (turned out it was a path error, not a detection problem), grabbed those additional includes the Wiki linked to and compiled. That's all I remember doing.

Thanks

/me puts testing MinGW again on his to do list

Can you give me the arguments you passed to scons configure or, if you forgot them, the contents of the file build/usropts.py?
