Spring RTS Engine

...and are one of the causes of the dreaded LuaUI crashes, believe it or not. Please turn them off and report if you're experiencing less crashes.

You figured out the bug?

no, but the replay doesn't crash with ground decals off, and mmgr traces point to grounddecalhandler as the last place that touches the crashing address.

I'm now 100% positive that turning off ground decals will remedy some of the crashes. Anybody who's experiencing a lot of LuaUI crashes should try this workaround.

Great job finding a workaround! I will be testing that it works Incidentally, my ground decals was set to 3 before I turned them off.

That might also explain why some people nearly never crash (like myself) and some crash more often.. Would be pretty cool if that fix eliminates some of them :D..

this is an experimental build with this bug (and only this one) fixed. brave souls out there should try it, the rest is better off turning decals off.

Maybe a candidate for .76 beta 2?

bug tobi about it. there are also some other bugs which were fixed (like the gray blink bug), those could be backported too without breaking replay compatibility I guess.

Same here. LuaUI never crashed for me, and I was wondering why.

I get errors when I try to compile this on Gutsy 64bit:

scons wrote:rts/Game/PreGame.cpp: In member function 'virtual bool CPreGame::Draw()':
rts/Game/PreGame.cpp:289: error: 'sin' is not a member of 'std'
scons: *** [build/rts/Game/PreGame.o] Error 1
scons: building terminated because of errors.

Any hint of 76b2 needs to have the fix to the div0 when units overlap.

LordMatt: 1. what compiler version? 2. are you sure you did
$ git checkout next
?

lurker: http://gitorious.org/projects/spring-sv ... /logs/next

this fix is in the tree.

Compile error seems to be fixed. I'll check for desyncs...

Adding a replay of dsd with a .76b2 testbuild at Lordmatts request. (he crashed out, we ran old version without a hitch)
its 7zipped for 4x smaller file

linky cause board dont allow big files

Thanks Beherith. It crashed most of the way in when my licho dropped its nuke weapon on a bunch of zeus and snips. Because I run Gutsy 64bit I don't have any stacktrace. I did not experience any desync over about 30min of 8v8 DSD <insert vomiting smile here> so I would assume it isn't going to desync.

Thanks for testing and uploading, keep 'em coming.

I didn't crash for me, does the replay crash for you, Matt?

I had ground decals really high and used to crash alot. Then i turned them off and havent crashed once after that!

Hmm guess it doesn't crash for me either, however the crash came right as I was giving an order to attack and perhaps the issue was related to giving the order.
