Running Bug List

This is list of our current high-priority bugs for Bitfighter.

Not all issues belong on this list -- only those that are a high priority for the next release. Other cases should be added to the Google Code bug tracker.

General Bugs

1. Fix (or kill) /suspend command. Removed client-side by raptor Do we need to remove the server ability to suspend client?
2. Figure out how to get ids working properly with walls/polywalls
3. Fix memory leak with robots/levelgen because of disabling every luaW_hold<T>(L, obj); --> use reference counting to delete proxy when appropriate, and reenable this line
   • sam686: repeated /addbots /kickbots kindof leaks memory and won't free memory until after running LuaScriptRunner::shutdown() which is normally run only when quitting. Check if everything is freed when a robot is removed. temporary workarounds in 4d6f2a48d254 and 01414236b4ed
4. Disable fast regen when standing still trying to build something with engineer
5. Lua API doc fixes:
   • event method signatures are not documented
   • Check that all the old the Lunar classes mentioned at http://bitfighter.org/wiki/index.php/Scripting_018 are also in the luadocs.
   • How to document the global enums 'WeaponInfo' 'ModuleInfo'?
6. Bobdaduck's Lua API crashes:
   • create and delete a spybug each tick, then shoot the spybug. crash! See: http://pastie.org/7818433
7. Improve screen for loading levels in editor -- perhaps general keyword search, or options for picking by author/title/file, or perhaps navigating a folder tree
8. Remove access to dangerous Lua libraries (esp. os and io) See http://lua-users.org/wiki/SandBoxes for ideas.
9. Render order issues:
   • ships render under flags
   • Objective arrows rendering on top of F2 display
   • server messages/ loadout boxes render on top of F2 level info display
10. bitfighter.ini [QuickChatMessages] is empty with missing comments after a newer version of Bitfighter is run, when "[Settings] version=" is older. Comments only appears after "[QuickChatMessages]" is removed and bitfighter is run.
11. When running with no joysticks attached, get this message on the system console: Error opening joystick 1 [(null)]
12. /idle always respawns you after 5 seconds (no key press needed)
13. in onShipLeftZone/etc. events with 'ship' object, either the ship or the ship:getPlayerInfo() doesn't return the same userdata object each time anymore
14. Start game with joystick plugged in; remove joystick; go to Options>Input... crash! Can't even get a stack trace in Windows!
15. Symbols rendered off-center vertically: http://sam6.25u.com/upload/3screenshot_19.png
16. Cycling through full screen modes and back to normal window causes window size and position to be lost
17. Selecting 'SWITCH TEAMS' doesn't kick you out of the menu when selected. I think there are others like this floating around, too..

Things to test after next lua rewrite

1. Levelgen: Having addItem() in main() may randomly fail on repeated ctrl+R in editor or repeated level restart, showing message "***LEVELGEN ERROR*** Error encountered while attempting to run script's main() function: ***.levelgen:44: attempt to call missing or unknown method 'addItem' (a nil value). Aborting script."

   -- for bug #33 from sam686
function main()
  for x = 0, 20 do
    for y = 0, 20 do
      item2 = ResourceItem.new()
      item2:setGeom(x * 100, y * 100)
      levelgen:addItem(item2)
      textitem = TextItem.new()
      textitem:setText(x .. "," .. y)
      textitem:setGeom(x * 100, y * 100, x * 100 + 100, y * 100)
      levelgen:addItem(textitem)
    end
  end
end
