Transcendence

Managed to replicate a bug I got in 1.08c and track down the cause:

If you click the "register a new account" button as the game is authenticating your login (so it's showing that you're logged in, but is trying to log you in behind the scenes), the game will lock up and you won't be able to use any controls. Including menu buttons.

A fix for this might be to show a "Contacting Server" or "Logging in" thing where that button would be while the game's trying to log you in....if the button isn't there during the problem area, it can't be pressed, so the bug won't happen.

First crash report:

http://multiverse.kronosaur.com/crashRe ... %3a58.0425

This is (hopefully) going to help me eliminate crashes from the game.

Finally got a chance to play with the new lightningBolt effect. It is nice, except for one problem: if a beam with lightningBolt and passthrough="100" destroys a station (Sisters of Domina in my test case), the game crashes sometimes.

O_O it autoreports mod crashes?


uhhh
Is that really a good idea (you could be swamped, esp with tons of debug code, as in there)? Especially since we on IRC are currently trying to determine if that crash is due to my scripts or the engine. (SW is looking at the source right now)

(and yeah, that was my crash... you'll probably be seeing a number more as I was running more tests)

PM found that regenTime isn't working right still http://wiki.neurohack.com/transcendence ... comment:11

Ok, new bug: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/23352181/bug3.png
it's saying that 40f7 has an "unknown design type". It's not a mod, but rather &itGemOfDespair;. I have no idea why I can't reference it anymore, since I also reference the targeting rom at around the same location.

Also, dbglog says:
OnCreate [Planet Parallax]: Line(4): Invalid entity: svIndependent ### (typCreate NewPlanetUNID NewPlanetXML) ###
I can't reference &svIndependent; o.O

Thanks George!^_^

.....tried it but there's no sound effects(weapons fire, stargate entry, explosions).

... You are using the wrong version, use 1.08d - that fixed the sound issue.
