0.71b - development version

[Zamolxis]

0.71#72 Garrisoning, ungarrisoning, or switching between visiting & garrisoned hero, causes all other heroes on the Adventure Map to lose their preset paths : [forum.vcmi.eu/t/vcmi-0-71-bug-seeking-thread/143/65)

Retested in 0.71b and the bug is still there.

And now back to some 0.71b bugs:

#89 - Artifact debuffs don’t have a minimum limit: i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/Zamolxis/VCMI/VCMI%2007/th_090531-ArtifactDebuffsBug.jpg

Artifact debuff minimums should be 0 for Attack & Defense and 1 for Power & Knowledge

#90 - Right-click on a hero on Adventure Map opens the info box always in the upper left side of the hero. That creates an issue when we scroll the map as such that our hero is close to the upper and/or left edge of the client interface. In that case parts of the info are not visible anymore (if the hero is really in the upper left corner, you see nothing of it):

In H3 the info box was first of all opening as centered above the hero. That’s not really an issue, as I kinda like it to still see the hero when the info box opens next to him. But in H3, if the hero was next to the edge of the interface, the position of the info box was adjusting to the edge of the screen so that we can see it completely.

#90 #87’ - Can be get item near the monsters (unlike in H3 without Fly)

[Zamolxis]

^ I changed the log number because #90 was already taken, plus it’s related to the same issue that you reported yesterday as:

#87 No battle area around the monsters (unlike in H3)

(feature not yet implemented)

#91 - Cannot load the map with <8 (2-7) players

I think it is a savegame bug.

#92 - Error when buying a Ballista

@ ral_il_an : I guess the Ballista error is not related to the load/savegame one, so I gave it a different log number.

About the savegame one, maybe you can attach the saved game that you cannot load for us to check if we have the same problem on our PCs.

[ral_il_an]

Fir 91 The game cannot be saved if Players < 8 (The server crashes on starting autosave of map) This bug is NEW of rev 927

[Tow]

#53 Cannot open WoG (anymore?) when VCMI is open. I am getting the following message box: “Unexpected Program Termination - Files from Heroes III are missing. Please reinstall Heroes III.”

Fixed by Ubuntux.

#59 Page Up/Down hotkeys do not work in the list of Scenarios in the Main Menu.

Implemented by Ubuntux. Home/End hotkeys as well

#60 Using a letter i/o a digit to select the resolution blocks the console (i.e.: we cannot type “resolution” anymore in order to select the right value). If further we do try to start a game in VCMI, the Console gets populated with log text, however very slow, and eventually crashes when Adventure Map opens.

Fixed.

#61 Perhaps a non-issue: closing the Console i/o the Client gives a Windows error message.

Rather non-issue. It would be troublesome to fix. Console shouldn’t be closed manually if you don’t want cause crash.

#63 - Badge of Courage (and other +1 luck, or +1 morale artifacts) seem to be giving 3 luck or morale rather than 1.

Fixed.

#64 - Reproducible crash bug from the attached savegame. Logs also attached.

Fixed.

#65 - Magic heroes don’t get their specific starting spells yet.

Not implemented.

#66 - Some another bug. Crashed after trying to buy a spellbook for Valeska. Backtrace:

I can’t reproduce it with 0.72. Either has been fixed or it’s platform-specific issue.

#67 - Next one. Playing with cielle and kill one and last neutral unit stak by magic arrow not finish battle< the first unit must make operation.

Duplicate to #48

#68 - I’m getting crashes when picking up artifacts, or the day after I pick up a Wood cart or the Cart of Ore, but so far it appears that it is happening more often after a few weeks, or a month or so, of H3 time. Hopefully that save I posted recently could help narrow it down as to what is causing the new turn or artifact pick-up crashes.

Resource-giving artifacts crashes on new turn have been fixed. I’m not sure if it will fix also the pick-up crashes but it’s possible. (There was really ugly bug with artifacts in 0.71b).

#69 - Next one: when Cielle on this map gain exprext pathfinding in the scholar on top, big memory leak occured:(

Scholar info was corrupted on the saving, fixed.

#70 - Next one. Bloodlust works on Magic Elementals (must not). Prayer also.

Fixed.

#71 - And next. Dragon’s eve ring increases morale and luck +3 (must be +1)

Fixed.

#74 Upgraded Air elementals shoots arrows

Missing projectile graphic.
Who knows what is the name of Storm Elemental projectile?

#77 - Crash when picking Treasure Chest at map edge. Couldn’t reproduce it yet, so I’m not sure if it’s related to a certain bug we used to have close to map edge at higher resolutions (this one was at 1024x600; map A Terrible Rumor). See if the attached logs are of any help.

Should be fixed.

#78 Cannot start the map:(

Not reproducible.

#79 Cannot pickup White unicorn’s helmet

Not reproducible / probably fixed.

#80 - In H3, right-click on a Tavern hero also selects it. In VCMI right-click only opens the info window but doesn’t change the selection.

I’ll leave it as it is, I agree we can consider this as not-a-bug.

#83 Mouse cursor change to attack only if drag it from attack side (unlike in h3)

Duplicate to… never mind, I can’t find it
Current behavior was simpler to implement (and gives all needed possibilities). Will be fixed later.

#85 Retreat + sity without tavern = no hero in tavern builded just after retreat

#86 Shrines do not aceesible from top and bottom

I’ll check it later.

#87 No battle area around the monsters (unlike in H3)

Not implemented.
Duplicate to 0.7#48.

#88 Segfault when receive Boots of Speed

Fixed I hope.

#89 - Artifact debuffs don’t have a minimum limit:

I’ll fix it soon.

#91 - Cannot load the map with <8 (2-7) players

I think it is a savegame bug.

#92 - Error when buying a Ballista

Not reproducible - fixed or platform specific.

[Tow]

That’s hopefully all.

Unresolved issues have been added to the tracker:
sourceforge.net/tracker/index.p … 9&status=1

If I missed something, correct me

Once more, many thanks for the testing!*

#66 - Some another bug. Crashed after trying to buy a spellbook for Valeska. Backtrace:

I can’t reproduce it with 0.72. Either has been fixed or it’s platform-specific issue.

I can reproduce. Linux’ libc has a built-in memory allocator detector. In that case it found a double free.
The problem is actually with the tavern. When right clicking on a hero, CHeroWindow::setHero is called and curHero is set. When the button is released, the hero window closes, but CHeroWindow::quit is not called, so curHero is not reset to NULL, and then bad things happen.

That’s also causing the crash when buying a ballista.

It seems to me that is cprgtix.def the same as for Titan, i compared both in game (if my eyes are fast enough) and rechecked in h3sprute.lod for projectile defs, but there is probability about 1% that i missed that stormelemental’s def

Yep. I cannot believe I’m playing this game for 10 years and haven’t noticed yet that Titans & Storm Elementals use the same projectile.

I checked it as well with slowest animation speed and there’s no doubt about it: they’re identical. Good find!

Indeed. Thanks for clear description, that explains everything.
When hero artifacts set is changed (eg. because of picking arts from the map or buying war machines / spellbook) VCMI checks if herowindow is opened (and needs updating) by checking if curHero is set.

So we have crash if we have opened hero window preview with r-click and then buy / pick up artifacts. Workaround to prevent the crash is to open hero window in the conventional way.

I’ll fix it.

#45 - small bug in gui - " - in title

Fixed.

#52 - On a related issue, the +1 to attack, +1 to defense and +1 to speed for creatures on their native terrain isn’t implemented yet.

Implemented by Tow Dragon in r1005.

#62 - Some starting artifacts (such as Badge of Courage) don’t give a bonus when automatically equipped at the start of the game.

Hopefully fixed.

#72 - Esc key does not close Spell Book.

#73 - Spell Book opens on Adventure Map on Combat Spells page i/o Adventure Spells page.

Fixed.

#76 - Picking an object with the last movement point leaves the path preset on the nearing tile where that object used to be (always reproducible):

Fixed.

#90 - Right-click on a hero on Adventure Map opens the info box always in the upper left side of the hero. That creates an issue when we scroll the map as such that our hero is close to the upper and/or left edge of the client interface. In that case parts of the info are not visible anymore (if the hero is really in the upper left corner, you see nothing of it):

Fixed by Ubuntux.

[Zamolxis]

#75 The arts not show in morale and luck modifiers. For example< I have the medal of honor. This is +1 morale< but in morale modifers it does not exists…

I think I figured out what this bug refers to - the morale/luck info in hero screen. Example:

• We visit Faerie Ring and we pick up Clover of Fortune
• The hero screen shows correctly 2 horseshoes for Luck
• However if we right click on them, we only have info about the Faerie Ring boost, not also the Clover of Fortune artifact.

[Tow]

Indeed. Bonuses from artifacts are considered when calculating total hero morale/luck but they are not listed in the modifiers list.
It will be fixed

EDIT:
It’s fixed

[Tow]

#49 - The direction a hero is oriented does not get saved in the savegame like they are in H3.

Fixed.

#50 When you set sound to lowest lvl, next time you start game it is still same. settings do not save.

Fixed.

#75 The arts not show in morale and luck modifiers. For example< I have the medal of honor. This is +1 morale< but in morale modifers it does not exists (Zam’s edit: I moved this here as I assume it’s a different bug, though maybe you can clarify in which situation this happens)

Fixed,

[Zamolxis]

I finished checking all the bugs in this thread, and they are all either fixed (= not reproducible anymore in 0.73) or reported in SourceForge or newer bug threads. Well, except for this one, which I added only now in SF:

#25 - When in battle, there is the same pain sound effect whenever something happens, such as an attack, or casting a spell, and sometimes when a unit is finished moving.

To clarify when the bug occurs, I added also in SF that it’s only in case of loading a saved game (which makes it easily reproducible, also in 0.73).

---

And with this I’ve finished the checking of all bugs reported before VCMI 0.72 (from the “Main bug thread” until the “0.71b - development version” here). They are all:

• either fixed (= not reproducible anymore in 0.72d/0.73, at least on my machine)
• or logged in SourceForge
• or logged in newer threads (0.72/0.73)
• or logged in the Missing features & functionalities thread, when the case

This means as of now we can easily trace all un-resolved bugs by checking only two locations:
→ SourceForge : for older bugs (0.6x-0.71b)
→ Tow’s opening post in the thread of the newest VCMI release : for newer bugs (0.72-…), plus of course the bugs reported in that thread.

So as long as the devs will continue to find the current system most efficient, there should be no need of logging bugs in SF anymore. Unless of course the programmers will find it convenient to log there bugs encountered in dev. versions not released on the forum.

Best regards,
Zam
