Major FF bug

[Tobi]

I have no clue who is currently working on FF and Mad FF, but it contains a major timebomb bug that may be triggered sometime:

The modinfo.tdf of those mods defines a circular dependency:

the mods depends on tatextures.sdz AND the mod replaces tatextures.sdz

Now luckily for them it currently doesn't matter much because tatextures_v062.sdz, which replaces tatextures.sdz too, is included by default with Spring. This overrides their faulty replacement.

However, removing tatextures_v062.sdz from your Spring install and regenerating ArchiveCacheV*.txt currently breaks A LOT of seemingly unrelated mods for anyone who has FF or Mad FF installed.

I've added a simple circular dependcy check so Spring doesn't crash anymore but it's still a fatal error and I am not going to change that.

This knock on effects of this issue could lock up the multi player lobbies and tools such as SpringSP.

Mae culpa, mae maxima culpa...
So, what is the best way to fix the problem? I will do it ASAP. If it is already in Final Frontier, we probably inherited it, but it's not an answer, we have to fix it, so, what's the best way?
I can upload new versions of FF and Mad FF with bugfix.

shiit.



My sincere apologies to anyone I might have affected. I'm not sure how this happened, but it will be fixed. In the meantime, delete Mad FF if you have related problems.

We simply inherited it becase I started Mad FF from FF 1.21, which contains this error, as I written above. Unfortunately we haven't noticed it as an error - and because I changed this file quite often, blame me. I hope no one will be affected. I mean... FF is around quite a long time, and I haven't seen any errors myself.
But I also haven't deleted tatextures.sdz, that's it.

Just remove the replaces line. It doesn't replace tatextures.sdz anyway.

[Kovin]

OK, I have fixed FF and uploaded to UF. Mad FF is bit harder, as we switched to SVN. I already fixed it there, and when we release new version on UF, it won't show up again.

OK, I have fixed FF and uploaded to UF. Mad FF is bit harder, as we switched to SVN. I already fixed it there, and when we release new version on UF, it won't show up again.

in that case it may be worth re-releasing the current release of mad-ff with the bug fixed, seeing as how: a) not everyone reads the forums and b) it has the potential to majorly screw up your spring install.

When Kernel Panic had a version that broke something with a replace line we asked a mod to add a warning to delete the affected version to the topic of #main.

hey I saw this and dl'd the newest version of FF, 1.22. I try to play w/bots using the KAI AI and it works pretty well however after fire is exchanged between my units and theirs, about 5 min later it will suddenly crash.

Here's my info log if it will help any. I'ved tried on multiple maps. I haven't played against anyone yet 'cause...well, unfortunately not enough ppl play it. I'd appreciate any help

Stacktrace says KAI, blame KAI.

[Kovin]

hey I saw this and dl'd the newest version of FF, 1.22. I try to play w/bots using the KAI AI and it works pretty well however after fire is exchanged between my units and theirs, about 5 min later it will suddenly crash.

Try RAI - Personally, if I have to try something under FF type mods and I want to play against something else then one commander, I use RAIv0551, haven't looked if there is newer version, but this one works fine and if you let it live for a while (15 mins+), several RAI opponents can be bit of a challenge.

[Kurimuzon]

KAI's the issue ne? Thanks for the info guys, I'll give that RAI a shot Kovin and let you know how it goes.

Hey what happened to the actual reply after my original post? It was pretty freakin funny if you ask me lol

Edit:

I apologize for bumping this up, but I just wanted to thank you guys for helpin me out. Works perfect!
