ufoai 2.3 on OSX PPC Leopard - save game fails
« on: September 03, 2010, 01:33:40 am »
Hi,
I have compiled ufoai-2.3 for PPC on my late 2005 G5 (dual core pciE model) and it seems to work fine in skirmish and campaign
mode, to the point where I wanted to upload it somewhere so those people who can't get it running would have one to play with, but
I have reached one show-stopper I am hoping to get help with.

For now, I will just explain the problem and then dump some logs later when I am back on the console, but the problem
occurs when saving the game to any of the Campaign save slots.   The console reports that the file is created and then
corrupted.   I tried looking at the files uncompressed and they look like they have a full <xml> tagset with nothing
seemingly missing but the game reports that the header on these files is corrupted.

When I save the game into different slots without quitting, it seems to load them although the text field for the
slot is not displayed properly until you click the mouse.    Quitting then never allows the save files to be accessed
again.   Also, the files seemingly get generated at different lengths, so I am not sure if that is correct or not.

It is almost like the file is being opened but never properly let go or closed or something, but a  look
at the cp_save.c doesn't elicit any clues.   I am hoping that someone has a fix because everything
else is working fine.   When I try to compile 2.4-dev it will make, but runs like a hairy goat and
doesn't appear to like my G5 yet at all.....  ...so I am hoping to get this final 2.3 problem sorted!


Cheers....

Here is the console log for the savegame problem. 
I am not sure what release I compiled but i am pretty sure it was the 2.3 stable version.

More info,
When I go to load the game and click the mouse inside the text field
to select a savegame slot, there is no text, but the mouse click
sends this message instead:

Unknown command "game_timestop" - wasn't sent to server

Is anyone else having problems with their save games on OSX PPC Leopard?

This must be some endian problem. Please open a ticket on the bugracker and upload your savegame there.

Hi,
I have compiled ufoai-2.3 for PPC on my late 2005 G5 (dual core pciE model) and it seems to work fine in skirmish and campaign mode,

Whoah.

I have got to see what's going on with your system.
Do you have a working 3d geoscape? Properly lit?

Please, I want to see a dmg even if it's not working correctly on saves.
Your log shows NVidia graphics; I've got graphics failing on two different ATI's. If it's literally an ATI driver issue (for mac supplied driver???), that's useful to know. (Simply enough: 2.2.1 worked, and 2.3 does not. What's changed in the rendering between the two?)

Hi,
the game works perfectly except for the campaign save. 
I had to disable GLSL shading for everything to work.
I have  .dmg I can upload somehow if you want it.

I also have the corrupt save game which I will upload
for analysis.

Now, I seem to have 2 copies of the 2.3 source code.
They are both subtly different - the first thing I notice
is the build/install_mac.mk files are quite different.

The build that is working for me is a copy of the source out
of the cvs - it will make a full .dmg file that runs on my mac,
with all the libraries copies into the install root and it seems
to run fine except for the campaign file save. 
The second copy I am running compiles OK but faildswith a
stupid error on "@cp"  (I am not sure how cp is called in these build scripts but
they work differently in the 2 code branches) when I run
macinstaller - the ufo command itself dies with an mdx error
so I reckon this is a different package of code.   

If there is a place I can upload the .dmg, please let me know.

talking about saves, may it be possible to tweak it a bit?

your savegame loads fine here (little endian) - so it looks like the save was correct - might be the loading

I thought the savefile looked OK, when I studied one uncompressed. 
What do you suggest I do?

The symptom when loading is two conditions:

1) Game is saved and reloaded without quitting UFO.
This appears to work fine.  If I save a game, I get the corrupted error
to the console, but it appears to be written fine.
It can be reloaded, although the text may or may not be
present in the slot text field.   Loading any one of these saves works.

2) Save game and then quit/restart
If I save the campaign and then immediately quit,
when I restart, I will no longer be able to see the save
games with their names in the slots.


As mentioned, I seem to have 2 codebases, so I am working with the one
that actually gives me a result (up to a point).  Is there a version file anywhere
that indicates what release of 2.3 it is I am actually compiling?

Cheers.....

Two things:
1. What is the output from "svn diff"?
2. What is the output from "svn info"?

That should tell me which specific revision you are working with.

I used google docs when I uploaded my last disk image.

** Please, download this, and tell me if the graphics work on your system **
https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B5IJio6EJ3NBNTNhMTliNmMtZTM5Mi00NDkzLTlmY2ItNDM4YzExZjM1MDg0&sort=name&layout=list&num=50

This version failed to give proper graphics on my machine (working about 1 in 4 times). If it works -- consistently -- for you, then ... well, I'm suspecting a bug in the driver that is trigger by the 2.3 rendering code being different than the 2.2.1 rendering code.

Hi.
I tried your copy of UFO on my system and it only gets as far as the splash screen  :(

Here is my current "working" copy that has the save game issue.
It works in campaign and skirmish mode if you disable GLSL shading and run
it at 1024x758 in a window.  For some reason, Full screen mode the game will
load but fail to load a skirmish.   For now, I just want the savegame to work!

Are you saying you compiled it or you are trying to run a downloaded binary?
This thread is discussing compiling the game.   You can try the version I uploaded
today, but the savegames fail.  The campaign and skirmish modes work with caveats
as above.

I have been over the cp_save.c code a few times and cannot see what is causing the
game load error. I might play around with it a bit, but I have to first fully understand what
it is doing.    There has to be a clue - Mattn says the save file opens and loads correctly.
On my system the file is written out, but the console informs me it is corrupted.
So this is the first clue.   The code that writes the file is correct.   The code that
verifies it must be wrong!    I will dig instead of playing ;)
