Running Bug List
From Bitfighter
This is a running bug list.
General Bugs
-
Sometimes a forcefield seems undestroyable: seems to be only client-side? Can still heal it after shooting the project for a while, but the field always shows activehaven't duplicated in a long while... -
Flip (H, V) of test items, flags, and other items seems broken (i.e. no effect) -
In the editor, when your mouse is over the object palette but no object is highlighted, if you click and drag, the mouse changes to the 4 arrows making it seem like you should be able to move the palette itself -
repair always does the circle around your ship, even if at full health -
the level-changer '+' on other players seems to go away after switching levels -
Core debris doesn't disappear -
Editor core rendering problem. Add a Core, move it, then press <tab> : http://sam686.maxhushahn.com/upload/1111screenshot_5.png - (Mac) Cursor disappears when pressing <ESC> in a game to access the menus. Possible SDL2 problem? seems to happen when alt-tab away first on 10.6
-
Can't type in game lobby when there are no servers -
/idle command needs a timer to stop people from un-idling too fast (to prevent abuse)(implemented client-side only) -
if you hold down the fire button, energy doesn't recharge at normal rate (easy to see with Mine set as the weapon) -
editor geometric sorting is not working -- repairs can be under zones (for example). -
turret will not shoot resource item if it is in line with a ship on the same team, even if the ship is behind resource item (sorting problem?) -
Can't chat in lobby when server list is not empty (before the problem was, can't chat with empty server list) -
Phaser hitting a Barrier makes a different sound now? -
sam686 found something else that needs to go here - fix bots after Lua stabilizes (already stable?)
-
spybug not included in stats -
Ship::isInZone always returns NULL, this makes energy jumpy client-side when on a loadout zone -
Fix the bug detailed here: http://bitfighter.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=1533 Basically, we need to print an error message when BF is started with wrong parameters - Fix twoplayer.bat
-
Sensor zoom isn't smooth when using sensor until out of energy -
Modules are shown as always 'on' to other players (recent pack/unpackUpdate changes?) -
Green help text for entering level change password is too long and is cut off screen - Modules sometimes get stuck 'on'. It is fixed when you are killed (only on windows?)
- Typing in chat windows should reset idle timer
-
mounted item problems when cloaked: resources aren't being hidden and nexus flag count isn't shown -
Escaping out of game lobby, then going back in quickly, makes player names disappear -
heat seeker goes through walls! -
TextItems + Bitfighter logo sometimes disappear when still on screen - probably extents issue? -
Badges aren't updated after earned in scoreboard unless you rejoin game server - When pressing alt-tab to leave the game window, game still thinks alt is down when you return to that window. Test by pressing enter -- if window changes mode (like it does with alt-enter) then the bug has manifested itself
- heat seeker graphics
- Fix music (remove in lobby, add variety to in-game)
- Fix editor Alt-Tab after moving and adding any of: Spybug, Mine, Resource, Asteroid, and all MoveObject.
- Editor: Can't change team names after testing level, probably bad cast problem.
Things that really should be done
- Master writeConnectRequest() should send gameType as a stringTableEntry rather than a straight string. Easy change, but will break compatibility with the master unless we're clever.
ideas
- A /nextmap feature to determine what the next map will be would be quite helpful
- Currently, Bitfighter prevents players from switching teams multiple times... instead, I think Bitfighter should prevent any player from purposely stacking the teams. Ex. If it's 8v7, no player on the team with 7 should be allowed to switch over to the team with 8. This would also need a toggle however, otherwise it would break dungeons.
- rotate/scale commands -- make use new quickmenus we created for plugins, also id menu (! or #)
- Get rid of getValueForDisplayingInMenu() or of getOptionText()... seem to do similar thing in menus
- /maplist to view the maps on the server would be nice. Make it a toggle if the server owner wants privacy
- shield countdown timer
-
Why do we have MD5 classes in 'zap/' when we have libtomcrypt? Should we consolidate them? Yes, if possible! Keep the ones in libtomcrypt, and create a friendly wrapper for in-game use. - When tons of bots, remove some from scoreboard to avoid making text too small... include some note like (+ 10 more robots). Remove lower scoring ones first.
- Add level rating system (+1/0/-1) as described in forums citation needed!
