Running Bug List

From Bitfighter
Revision as of 14:06, 5 June 2013 by Kaen (Talk | contribs)

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:
  6. Bobdaduck's Lua API crashes:
  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 not an issue
    • 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 --Raptor 01:19, 5 June 2013 (UTC) Working on it with the SDL2 development list. follow thread here: http://lists.libsdl.org/pipermail/sdl-libsdl.org/2013-June/088626.html
  17. Allow Lua scripts to write to some location (like for log saving). Since the sandbox won't allow io.*, consider providing a global function to read/write to a specific directory only


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
