Bugfix for network error in 0.75b1

[Auswaschbar]

I think I found the bug causing the networking problems.

When your infolog keeps saying "Unknown net msg in read ahead #", than its this one. Unfortunately I cant find anyone who has svn access so I post it here:

http://freenet-homepage.de/auswaschbar/bugfix.diff

This bug was caused by the new fragmentation buffer. There was only 1!!! buffer for all!!! network connections so if the server recieved the first part of a message, and then read data from another client, the half message was copied before the new one, messing up the server completely.

I commited it

this new version of spring makes me so angry just thinking about it.

thanks for a patch, i should be able to play A game today . :/

i cant beleive you guys actually released a version of spring with so many problems.

[Auswaschbar]

you know, its pretty hard to find bugs when nobody is testing it...

If you want to help, you may test the new build http://www.osrts.info/~buildbot/spring/ ... vn3977.exe

I can't believe you weren't there for testing the dev release. :P

[Neddie]

Honestly, it was less buggy than I expected, given all of the changes. I missed out testing with them because of my work, what is your excuse?

[Zpock]

Have some patience and faith in the devs to eventually fix those inevitable problems. Would you rather have spring development halting forever?

[Agon]

And if I want to test I need to compile Spring myself.
But this isn´t realy a problem. Downloading and installing each source packages is a problem. Hope it will get Linux packages for stable, unstable and svn releases. And not only for one distribution or package format. Maybe a bit not related to the topic.
Good to have some bug-hunters and developers who are fixing bugs.

we have been able to play a 4v4 tangerine game for about 45 mins (includeing big armies, nukes etc.) without any problems (after that 1 player desynced, but game reached end anyways) so i assume this bug is fixed

[Neddie]

Alright, so when will it be in the full installer, you think?

yeah, i was hosting with his version and he was the only other player in it who had the svn version. so it seems to work. great job :)

altho we had 1 player unable to join (said he crashed, maybe it would have worked for him with the svn client), so we played a 4:4 without him.

[Auswaschbar]

it works when the host is running the svn build i posted earlier (normal lobby joining), he can alsdo play with the released version.

I dont lnow when it is in full installer, you have to ask a dev

If I dont get hit by a bus I'll release 0.75b2 later this week.

Tobi I forbid you from going near a road until it's out For your health, of course.

Don't ask what spring can give you, ask what you can do to help spring! Like, test.

A bug-free Spring or your money back!

[Tim Blokdijk]

The first of every Spring release series was bug'd, .75 will get a b2 and its b3 to patch it up. In the mean time you can feel like a real men (beta tester) again. I mean nothing else gives you that warm and fuzzy community feeling then a hard crash back to desktop.

[CautionToTheWind]

If you're gonna focus your efforts in fixing bugs, rather than add more features, the test betas should be more stable than the release.
