[lurker]

Disabled vsync is no excuse for changing the output buffer mid-frame.

Isn't turning off vsync exactly that?

No, properly implemented vsync just means that you wait 1/60th of a second or what have you after you started the last frame to start this frame.

Did you make a mantis entry ?

[insaneinside]

I've noticed units going in circles around their target movement point. Rather amusing, that.

SVN, 6991: Spring crashes if you set it to the Commanders script, refuses to start a game until you've hit CTRL+ENTER, and will only run with an AI enabled (even if testGlobalAI.dll). Otherwise, worked well, and jK's patch (with Dizekat's assistance) to fix point lights works.

Question: should I expect b6 in days, weeks, or months, at anybody's best guess?

I want to wrap up P.U.R.E. RC4 soon and get some private-beta testing going before a public release, as it contains a hell of a lot of new code... so the big question is whether to release it for b5, with the shoddy implementation of "point-lights" (good enough most of the time, but as has been pointed out, really flawed) or wait for b6, and take that time to polish the release and get more content ready?

I don't want to trap myself, like I did with 0.77b in general, basically, so if nobody has a clue as to when we should reasonably expect b6, I'll just assume the worst-case scenario (months) and just go ahead and release with the less-than-perfect lighting, instead of putting in more time working on multi-light stuff that will probably all be DOA anyhow. No pressure, of course, I'll go either way and it'll be all right.

[Auswaschbar]

Spring crashes if you set it to the Commanders script

Works for me

refuses to start a game until you've hit CTRL+ENTER

Its intended behaviour and used to be that way all times (besides it was only ENTER)

will only run with an AI enabled

The "Commanders"-script creates an AI if no player controlles the second team. If you don't want this, use another script (behaviour haven't changed since ages).

About b6, I don't know if we make a b6 at all.

[Argh]

Ok, then I'll just assume that we're going to be waiting for awhile, and will just use what's working in 0.77b5. It's not the end of the world, if the lighting stuff isn't entirely perfect.

No, properly implemented vsync just means that you wait 1/60th of a second or what have you after you started the last frame to start this frame.

But doesn't that mean you can end up with incomplete rendered frames?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_synchronization

[reivanen]

In almost every game it gets desynced as of b5+ allthepatchesinfilenamespring.exe applied. Is this issued already in b6 branch? If so, i'd like to know what caused it.

[zerver]

In conjunction with the 77b6 release, I'd like to at least have a link to the multithreading version posted/mentioned somewhere so that regular users can find it and try it.

http://planetspring.free.fr/spring/exec ... _R7052.zip

I've been running it for a while now and I consider it playable, some stability issues remain. CA is still not working but I consider that a problem with CA itself - all LuaOpenGL calls should be in the rendering thread.

i think you get desynced because your spring.exe differns too much from others.

IIRC there are only one or two fixed exes which syncs with first b5 release...

[lurker]

But doesn't that mean you can end up with incomplete rendered frames?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_synchronization

Only if you implement it the stupid way. To run without vsync correctly you always keep the outgoing framebuffer the same until the frame finishes displaying. Any frames you create in the meantime wait their turn, or if a new one is made while they're waiting, get thrown out.

zerver, which callins are in the rendering thread? Is there a list anywhere?

Crashes on /skip command:
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=16794

+ can you fix the /skip feature? it reads the numbers wrong, i type /skip 400 and it skips 200.5 seconds, and when i wrote /skip 500 it skipped 6.2 seconds :D:D or something like that.
+ can you make it possible to cancel the skipping? just for that i dont need to restart game if i type too long skip, or if it takes too long to skip and i dont want to wait.

[lurker]

/skip framenumber: skip to framenumber
/skip +frames: skip to current frame + frames

[imbaczek]

/skip framenumber: skip to framenumber
/skip +frames: skip to current frame + frames

it's seconds, actually. you have to do something to skip to a frame, don't remember what.

[TradeMark]

/skip framenumber: skip to framenumber
/skip +frames: skip to current frame + frames

i typed /skip 1000 and it started skipping: "Skipping 985.1 game seconds (22669 frames left)"

/skip +500 doesnt work at start, i had to do /skip 1000 first, then /skip +500 did work.
But it actually works, when i dont use + in the command, it skips random seconds :S

/skip framenumber doesnt work, really. it seems to do it like this in pseudo code:

Code: Select all

if(framenumber > frames){
    skip_seconds(framenumber*something_very_random);
}

since i couldnt skip with a number that was less than current frames were played...

[lurker]

I think it used to be framenumber? Either way it's been changed around a lot and I don't see any easy way to make it again possible to /skip in a game.

Trademark: skip TO a time. As in,
/skip 100 then /skip 500
and
/skip 400 then /skip 500
BOTH
take you to 500

[TradeMark]

OMFG you are right, it is TO A TIME.

change that pls, its not logical, since the command is "/skip" and not "/skiptotime"

/skip 50 makes me think it will skip 50 seconds, or 50 frames...

God, i cant believe you changed the TDF tags into more logical names while breaking up every old mod, but still you make illogical command names >_>

[lurker]

It's fine as it is, just make sure the +number is documented in the list of commands.

Any specific tdf tags you mean?
