Testing request: 2.1.1 testinstaller.
« on: April 20, 2007, 03:24:20 pm »
We have prepared new testinstaller for UFO:AI 2.1.1 version, which is mainly focused on bugfixing. No new features. It can be downloaded from:
http://mattn.ninex.info/download/ufoai-2.1.1-win32.exe (windows version) [20.04.2007 - deprecated]
http://mattn.ninex.info/download/ufoai-2.1.1-linux.run (linux version) [20.04.2007 - deprecated]
Heavy testing is requested. This testinstaller contains new, rewritten from the scratch savegame subsystem with savegame serializer. Please test it as much as possible and report bugs here. Please don't report bugs mentioned in BUGS file.
After saving the game try to load it immediately before quitting the game. If it fails, post here the info from ufoconsole (from both saving and loading the game), which contains number of bytes saved and loaded for particular save subsystem.
Note that "old" saved games (from 2.1.0 release) won't be able to load here.
Please, help making 2.1.1 as bugfree as possible.

EDIT: Known bugs already fixed but not included in testinstaller:
1) saving the game when dropship is on the air and returns from the mission to the base will not allow to load the game - a workaround is to save when dropship will return to base
2) using more than two ships with teams assigned will produce either crash on loading or crash when trying to enter the base - a workaround is to use only one ship with assigned team (we are not sure if this bug will be hit in case of just simply more than one base - using only one base is recommended with current testinstaller)
EDIT2: new testinstaller fixes these two (and some more) bugs. You can download it from:
http://szklo.eu.org/~mattn/ufoai-2.1.1-win32.exe for windows [22.04.2007]
http://ufoai.neowifi.pl/ufoai-2.1.1-linux.run for linux [22.04.2007]
For those, who have previous testinstaller, we prepared updated binaries and scripts. One can download them from:
http://mattn.ninex.info/download/new/
Needed files are:
- 0ufos.pk3 to base/ directory
- ufo.exe for windows
- ufo for linux
EDIT3: new testinstaller, fixing some smaller bugs and one serious bug in savegame system (that means you cannot load savegames from previous versions). One can download them from:
- http://szklo.eu.org/~mattn/ufoai-2.1.1-win32.exe for windows [24.04.2007]
- http://szklo.eu.org/~mattn/ufoai-2.1.1-linux.run for linux [24.04.2007]
If nothing bad happens, this is supposed to be the "final" betainstaller.
EDIT4: new testinstaller, fixing two serious bugs related to saving and inventory (that maens you cannot load savegames from previous versions). One can download them from:
- http://szklo.eu.org/~mattn/ufoai-2.1.1-win32.exe for windows [26.04.2007]
- http://szklo.eu.org/~mattn/ufoai-2.1.1-linux.run for linux [26.04.2007]
If nothing bad happens, this is supposed to be "final" betainstaller.
EDIT5: new testinstaller, mainly improving some features (or includiing minor fixes). One can download them from:
- http://szklo.eu.org/~mattn/ufoai-2.1.1-win32.exe for windows [29.04.2007]
- http://szklo.eu.org/~mattn/ufoai-2.1.1-linux.run for linux [29.04.2007]
If nothing bad happens, this is supposed to be "final" betainstaller.

Great work with the new update. No problem yet with loading and saving.

I wanted to ask - should I report other bugs here as well (not just about the load/save system), or should I keep submiting them to the bug tracker on SourceForge, under version 2.1 (no option for version 2.1.1 under group). I'm asking because I have a bug showing 4 soldiers "Currently healing" while only 3 are listed in the hospital, and I'm not sure where to report such a bug?

So I have two savegames, slot0 saved before mission, slot1 after. After saving slot1, I loaded slot0 with success. Loading slot1 again failed.

Sorry, a correction: the game no longer segfaults on exit; still fails to restore X resolution with the following:
Code: [Select]

Save user settings to /home/oem/.ufoai/2.1.1/base/config.cfg
SDL audio device shut down.
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)

Thanks for your reports - that bug was unknown for us.
Additional question - did you both saved while your dropship returning from the mission was still in air? (did not returned to the base yet)
if yes, the temporary workaround (untill we fix that bug) is to wait till aircraft return to the base, and save after that.

IAX: you saved to slot0 and loaded slot1 (or vice versa) - please make sure that you save and load the same slot - we need the size values from the log files - and they may differ from slot to slot.

IAX, blondandy, the problem you hit is solved. It was a bug in the code about saving alien cargo and item cargo - when i wrote the code i had used wrong loop counters.

smalul, bugs not related to saving should be reported on sourceforge tracker if they are not mentioned there yet as well as reported here - that's because if the bug will be release-stopper, we will try to fix it ASAP, while if the bug won't block release, we can postpone it for next days.
About the savegame bug with message subsystem, we will look into this, thanks for the report.

About the savegame bug with message subsystem, we will look into this, thanks for the report.

OK, more on this bug - first of all, it now seems 2 of the 8 save files are working, so not all is lost. Second, it seems like there are 2 stages to this bug:
1. The first part is the "Error loading game. Error in loading a subsystem - see console for more information", which appears only when I try to load a broken save file. Good save files are working fine.
Here is a picture of the bug:

2. The second part is the "Error loading game. Error decompressing data". This part happens after you try to loading broken save files a few times in stage one ("Error in loading a subsystem"), and then you start getting this "decompressing data" error. In this stage, you can't load ANY of the save files, including the working ones, and all gives the same "decompressing data" error message.
Here is a picture of this stage:

I hope this would help you locate and fix this bug.

By the way, do you need my saved files for analysis?

Thanks to your reports as well as reports from people joining our ircchannel, i found and fixed another bug in saving. It occurs in case you have more than one base and/or more than one ship with team assignment.
The workaround for this is to use only one ship with team assigned to it.
