Engine Testing - 08. Jul 2012 (88.0.1-503-gce368c3)

[abma]

sorry, this is not how it works. i can't reproduce that.

[Forboding Angel]

Of course you can't reproduce it with the frigging d-gun... It's command fire = 1!

Forgot to mention that turrets seem to work fine.

[abma]

i don't know which units have this tag, please attach a replay and don't waste the time of both of us.

[Forboding Angel]

No, don't you waste my time. You already have. It's completely reproduce-able with the commander's laser in BA.

Instead, you do the silly thing, and test it with the d-gun. At what point in your thinking process did that strike you as a good idea? It's essentially the same as testing it with a nuke silo.

Why? Because what do the two weapons have in common? Oh that's right, they have to be force fired! And after they are force fired, they are essentially given a stop order by the engine!

I am very cross and irritated with you at this point because you didn't even try to reproduce, and attempted to have me do everything for you. I have better things to do with my time than to work out every angle for you (like go to sleep, considering it's 2am here).

The main reason I'm angry? Because I went out of my way to help and you were altogether very rude. Very dick move.

[abma]

i tried (with ba + commander dgun) and it didn't happen for me. (even if its "stupid", i don't know which units have this tag)

[knorke]

see top of first page, kloot fixed it

It's very easy to reproduce with commander dgun, here is a replay showing it in action (I only gave 2 dgun orders, 1 at start which behave correctly, and a second one just after which only triggered when I started to move and then kept repeating itself).

But yes, I think that's what kloot fixed already.

[abma]

aww... confusion. didn't recognize that bibim and forb are still using the testing version, that bug is fixed, yes.

the attack ground thing can be seen as feature, ais i posted a earlier alredy. not sure whats the wanted behaviour here.

uhm if you test now, use 89.0 (as also posted earlier....)

(+meh, i can't close this thread)

Oh I had missed this:

sorry no, to late: http://springrts.com/dl/buildbot/default/master/89.0/

And there was no RC thread in the news section as usual so I didn't think it was actually tagged and ready to test.

meh, sorry, my fault. should have made a new thread or wait for the official post :-/

now it is: http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=28397 :)

[Forboding Angel]

It's worth noting that phpbb screwed up somehow, And since my first post in this thread the only posts I had seen were mine and abma's, which explains the confusion.

I couldn't sleep so I checked the thread with my phone and Lo and behold there were other replies O_o. That explains why abma checked the dgun. From my perspective, of all the weird ass Shit to test first... Makes sense now.
, My apologies abma, I was only seeing half of the conversation.

[KingRaptor]

Is anyone else getting complete hangs at gamestart with QTPFS in 89.0?

[abma]

i guess nobody really tested qtpfs. this reminds me to setup such a validation test.

[bibim]

Well, it seems when you tell a unit to attack another one, and if the target goes out of range, then the unit won't fire at other enemy units in range until you give stop order (tested with 89).

[abma]

ok, thats indeed a bug then... uh, or does it only target that specific one on manual set?

(this time sorry, can't test for myself)

[zerver]

Yeah, seems so. Actually I somewhat like this behavior, only that the unit should start fire if you issue e.g. a move order. Requiring STOP is ridiculous.

new test release (for preparation of spring 90.0):
