Bugs & Crash Reports

[Bloax]

I cloned the OXCE+ from https://github.com/MeridianOXC/OpenXcom/tree/oxce2.9-plus-proto , then compiled according to https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=Compiling_%28OpenXcom%29 , then copied over UFO and TFTD assets and Piratez data into their respective folders. Oddly, the compilation didn't put the  openxcom executable into the bin folder, I had to do that manually.

When I try to run it,  I get a "signal 11" crash and the attached error log.

The highlight appears to to be
[FATAL]   /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x36d40) [0x7fd9eca2fd40]

So I looked into what causes errors relating to libc.so.6, and followed the directions here https://askubuntu.com/questions/40416/why-is-lib-libc-so-6-missing
But that didn't help, so then I tried sudo apt-get install libc6* to install both 64 and 32-bit versions of everything that it might be missing. Still the same error.

I apologize if I'm missing something simple. I'm trying to wean completely off Windows but I'm not that sophisticated with any form of Linux yet either.

I'm just wondering whether it's a cardinal sin in OSS to redistribute the motherfucking libraries you use for compiling the motherfucking software?
Because I always seem to see people not having those specific versions of something something that you need to compile the fucking thing.

I am no Linux guru, can't help you with the error.

But I have compiled my own version on Kubuntu just now and it works for me.

When I try to run it,  I get a "signal 11" crash and the attached error log.

Could you compile with `-g` and then run it in gdb? This will show exactly place where program tried access invalid memory.

When I try to start a Hellerium Distilling job (after having an Extractor), the game crashes.

Additionally, the job lists its units produced as "Hellerium Distilling", which I assume is part of the issue.

Attached is a save; just go to the hideout and try to start a Hellerium Distilling manufacturing job to reproduce the crash.

Already reported and fixed, wait for update.

I figured out my problem, it turned out I didn't have the 32 bit versions of some dependencies, I thought I did but I must've made a mistake trying to install them. Once I had all of those it started working, and now I appear to have full function.

You must have hit the HotKey for Countries.
"Tab – Toggle Country Detail (show the outlines on the map"

Ah, I see, thanks!

Maybe an XCom Extended bug, but:

Gal empty on Energy but with quite a few Time Units remaining attempts to open a door. Gets the "not enough time units" blare instead of "not enough Energy".

[legionof1]

That particular issue is another long occurring flaw since no one has bothered to craft a separate error message for energy. I'm frankly impressed we have separate messages for the various types of LOS failures. All 3 are the same type of failure as far as the game cares. And energy shows up so rarely as an issue in unmoded play. piratez has it all the damn time on the other hand because we have negative energy recovery on almost every power armor.   

[sabrecat]

Oh, interesting. Though we do have a "not enough energy" error, it just doesn't always display when you'd expect it to.

What I reported may be a subtly different problem, though. It seems that you get a "not enough time units" error when failing an "open door" click, regardless of why it didn't work. Last night I was on a TFTD or TFTD-inspired terror map whose doors apparently don't close once opened. (You can walk straight through them once open, and they don't budge.) I didn't realize that at first, though, and got the "not enough time units" error when trying to click one shut, with both TU and Energy to spare.

[legionof1]

Oh hehe i remember those one time doors.

Minor Bug: Plasma subrifle clips appear as "STR_PIR_SUBRIFLE_CLIP" in manufacturing menu popup after plasma weapons research is completed.

After a while of thinking, researching people and viewing I come to conclusion:
There have to be a research bug in game somewhere or the Techtree page is wrong.

That tech tree, which you can look up at the internet shows if you need hostages for researches.
For Diplomacy you don't need one, but I got trough asking friendly a guild hostess.
but I still can't research Interrogation Techniques.
Then I ask myself: What if there's two Diplomacy-research-items? For some reason you can see two Diplomacy-Items in the research tree-page, but both gives you the same page.
So one Diplomacy-Mission for Ufos and something that do other stuff and you need to come further.

Most of the hostages I capture I can't research anymore.
That mean I have to capture more of other people.
I upload my savegame and well then.

I get annoyed of myself for being so present at this forum and posting one "issue" to another.
That means I tried to make sure that I didn't do something wrong. I'm half sure my savegame missing a Key-research-item.
