[FIXED] Crash when opening ufopedia in Battlescape
« on: November 11, 2017, 05:10:28 pm »
Now that the main thread is locked and there's no "issues" link on the Github page, where to gather the bug reports on OXCE+?

The problem I encountered is non-critical, but funny. If earnings and monthly income exceed 2^31 (2 147 483 648), there's a warning that you need to sell something to avoid taking credit. To reproduce, load the attached savegame and wait for the end of the month. (It was created with "The X-Com Files" mod, but the bug reproduces without it fine.) No warning for vanilla or OXCE.

P.S. Non-critical, because the sum does NOT warp around to -2^31 at the end of the month. It remains positive.

Pick a high enough number and any system will collapse... :P (I assume it's not possible to make that much money without cheating?)

But a separate bug report thread may be a good idea. I guess the only reason it hasn't been stared yet is 1) most bugs are reported to modders, not directly to Meridian, and 2) there are very few bugs in OXCE+. ;)

Define "cheating" :) I did skip missions in debug mode, which meant highest score and spending nothing on ammo. Funding countries reached the cap by 2000-2001. (Note: this mod starts in December 1996.) Though I lost 4 of them to infiltration. Plus workshops. I reached 2^31 by mid-2002.

I think this sum is reachable if you don't go to Cydonia, but continue playing long enough and with good results.

As for big numbers, C++ compilers of 1990s had no trouble with integers from -2^31-1 to +2^31. Most modern compilers can handle -2^63-1 to +2^63 if the programmer uses the right types. By the way, so could Borland compilers that were used for the original X-Com games of 1990s.

But a separate bug report thread may be a good idea. I guess the only reason it hasn't been stared yet is 1) most bugs are reported to modders, not directly to Meridian, and 2) there are very few bugs in OXCE+. ;)
This particular bug is not related to any mod and does not reproduce in vanilla, OXC or OXCE.



Unrelated bug about OXCE+ compilation.

cmake checks that yaml-cpp version should be above or below 0.5.2. But that no longer seems to work — oxce3.5-plus-proto branch refuses to build with 0.5.1.

The condition should be "yaml-cpp version above 0.5.2".



Another unrelated bug. Quick search in inventory may give false positives, especially for single-letter queries. For example find "Bone Club" for "w". Observed on Gentoo Linux with "Extended+-3.9c-61d22e5-2017-10-10-xenial-x86_64" build from lxnt.wtf. See the attached _autobattle_.asav (requires X-Com Files mod).



For the new engine version (3088e4ac6 from 2017-12-12):



Pressing "u" in Battlescape causes a crash. To reproduce, start a "New Battle" and press "u". Observed for "X-COM Files" mod and without any mods. Not applicable to OXC and OXCE, where "u" doesn't work. See "Ufopedia-crash.log".



CRITICAL BUG. When battle ends, unconscious enemies seem to count as dead rather than captured. To reproduce, start a battle without mods and then stun everybody. (Or just press Ctrl-D and Ctrl-J.) — Debriefing lists all stunned enemies as dead.

It doesn't crash for me (just doesn't work)... I see what the issue most probably is and will fix it.

This happens only in XcomFiles... for reasons... working on it, it will take a few days and will require a new version of XcomFiles too.

It should NOT happen anywhere else.
Tested without mods and works fine for me, see attached.

My bad. Didn't notice that "New Battle" always kills prisoners.
