great game when it works, but had to give up and play other (less realistic) mods. any ideas please. looks like a LuaUI related crash?

/me cries.

I'll look at this tomorrow night. Arrrrrgh. I was so hopeful that 0.76 would cure some of the crashing.

Smiff: that's pretty bad. The weird part is that it disabled LuaUI more than once.

Does 1944 have automatic LuaUI reload or sth?

Not that I'm aware of...

Our (enabled) widget list goes like this:

ETA
Team platter
Custom formations

Isnt ETA and Custom Formations used by other mods as well tho? And they don't crash. Is it possible to narrow it down to find the specific culprit?

Are you perhaps shipping your own gadget handler with S44? If so, are you sure it's the most current one?

I bet that's exactly it, KDR. Damn.

IK: The suppression indicators are disabled and have been for some time.

We know it isn't the Circle Widget, since at least five people have gone over it. ETA seems likely, or a conflict with another widget?

We've removed most of the Lua from the game, save for the teamplatter, but I'm thinking of removing that too. We're going to do some stress tests and if everything seems better we'll make a new release.

I'd really like to include some new content in this release, though. Even if it's only a few units. ATM we've got the M10, Achilles, Churchill, KV-1 and Tiger reasonably ready to go ingame (need to do Churchill and KV-1 textures tho), maybe those units...

i like the idea of pulling it all out and getting a game really stable :)

Suggestion:
Make units have a lot of team color on them.
Even when i zoom in i cant see my units.especially when there is a fight going on and there are dead bodes near by.
I suggest you take inspiration of red alert.
I know you want to make a WW2 mod but units cant be seen.
how aobut adding camoflauge splatters on the texture that will actually be team color.
Even if you make the unit control similair to CoH,make 2 sniper in agroup and 5 soldiers in a group they will still not be seen..
Make them have a lot of team color so they will stand out.

use this lua widget to draw a teamcoloured circle around your units.

Image

to install it (if you dont know) just save the .lua file onto your computer, and move it to the C:\Program Files\Spring\LuaUI\Widgets (or wherever your Spring install is) then enable it in the f11 menu (its called teamrings)

No.
use this lua widget to draw a teamcoloured circle around your units.
Or use Spring's teamplatter widget which draws an incredibly visible solid circle around each unit.

Or use the one supplied with S44 itself.

er, everyone else is seeing crashes too right? i'd feel really bad if you delayed the release because one person (me) was having crashes (which could be due to something else in the config)! I will have to try 1944 again with the latest SVN spring because XTA seems to be quite stable now..

the 76b1 release doesnt work properly at all on our lan, so i can't really say. i'll see if i can get some people to test 1944 021 again tonight.. if you havent got other reports i'd just ignore me and carry on please, if there is a problem with LUA in 1944 you probably won't make it any worse :p
