i guess player gets "out of bounds" of other lev

Igge · Post by **Igge** » 16 Oct 2010, 02:40

MAYBE BECAUSE THEY ARE DIFFERENT LEVELS

milagros · Post by **milagros** » 16 Oct 2010, 10:45

i know they are different levels but it usually works when you want to merge something from train lev
but here it gets out of bounds and that does not happen if you just slightly modify some level

Yeah. I never knew that it was becaue you went OoB of one level, to me it just seemed like when the kuskis got far enough apart (in different levels) it crashed. But yeah, now that you say it, it's obvious to me that it crahes when you go OoB.

Also, had I read your post before I posted mine I probaly wouldn't have responded at all.

ongy.

4x slowdown simply pauses the replay when watching with vsync off. This doesn't always happen, but mostly it pauses completely. Am I doing something wrong, because with vsync it works nicely?

Lukazz · Post by **Lukazz** » 17 Oct 2010, 15:36

shows wrong time ingame when pressing 2 when the time is over 10 mins or something.

Kopaka · Post by **Kopaka** » 17 Oct 2010, 15:36

I think these are still there:

Pawq wrote:there was some ff started and i and some other 2-3 guys somehow managed to play the level like there was no countdown timer was showing balle ends in 10.xx of 10.00 mins here, i think its kinda bug. GOOOOOOOO was at the screen up until the battle really started

nozkey's bug is timeindex 2899154 in moposite db, for some reason no volts or turns counted, but says finished and time 14:28 in warm up

Also ignore not working. Some ppl say it worked in the beginning, and doesn't work now.

it's "bug" in hib's code
it works like this time(in millisecs) = lasttime + (originaltime - lastoriginaltime) / 4
so if originaltime - lastoriginaltime is less than 4ms, it becomes 0 and the time stays the same.

milagros · Post by **milagros** » 17 Oct 2010, 16:57

fixed some details, updated in the previous table

Xiphias · Post by **Xiphias** » 17 Oct 2010, 17:17

Found a bug some time ago.. forgot to post it.

If you have privat chat on (F9 + F2) e.g.

Code: Select all

-><Lukazz>

and you disconnect from the server (Shift+F12) and while offline press any button (I tried several buttons and it seemed to always happen, F2, F8, letters ...)
When you go online again (F12) your private chat changes to

Code: Select all

-><>

or something random like

Code: Select all

-><5>

depending on what you pressed while offline
The problem is that if you now try to toggle players (F2 or Shift+F2 Elma crashes. You have to press CTRL+F2 (disable private chat) to get rid of the -><> bug.

Igge · Post by **Igge** » 17 Oct 2010, 18:01

can't you make a new private system? /nick <message> or whatever? :(

Xiphias · Post by **Xiphias** » 17 Oct 2010, 18:27

Igge wrote:can't you make a new private system? /nick <message> or whatever?

Did you know you can use CTRL+"any letter" while in F9 to skip to a nick with that first letter?
So if there are 100 people online and you need to talk to Madness.. instead of pressing F2 - 50 times you can just press CTRL+M

system not bad :O

Yes, but when talking several people at once, and perhaps also in main chat it gets really annoying to switch between players to players and players to public etc. Also, sometimes when you talked to someone and then didnt talk for a long time, you forget priv is activated, and thus you write wrong and mango turns to bango and world war 3 starts because of annoying chat system.

Overall it's very hard to make a convenient UI with so many features when there's no mouse used.

This post is stating the obvious and doesn't contribute to anything at all.

Yeah =(
I'm getting disconnected every time I alt+tab from EOL for a few tens of seconds (whole my connection goes down).
+ This also happens even in editor mode when I'm making a lev for longer time.

Memphis · Post by **Memphis** » 20 Oct 2010, 01:43

not a bug but what are the chances I can get another EOL user account for my other computer. My buddy comes over occassionally and it would be nice to holya multi together.

Thanks,

Kopaka · Post by **Kopaka** » 20 Oct 2010, 10:53

Just make an account for him?

Chris · Post by **Chris** » 24 Oct 2010, 19:45

This is very frustrating issue. When I go from EOL to windows desktop(simple alt-tab). EOL is still running in background. After about 30 seconds I can't really use Internet (no traffic at all, even local network is not working). Somehow EOL seems to be not losing connection. I can see finished times when I go back to it and no messages about it losing connection. When I enter address into browser and quickly go EOL, site loads. This happens only when I'm running EOL on computer with win xp. I got no issues with EOL on other computer with windows 7 pro. Also when EOL is running I can use Internet on other computer.

I don't know what information I can provide. EOL process has NORMAL priority and is not using too much memory or CPU. Windows XP is up to date. I'm not forwarding any ports, I can see other players. TCP only is unchecked. EOL is copy of what I'm running on windows 7 laptop, just with different resolution in config to fit screen. It's working fine, beside this issue I just explained.

milagros · Post by **milagros** » 24 Oct 2010, 22:25

i have completely no idea how could anything like that happen
madness had similar (or the same?) issues too, noone else had any problems and I cant reproduce it
i have no idea how i would affect internet connection even if wanted to (or maybe I would figure out smth in that case), but really, eol is using standard server/client tcp connection and i dont see what could be the problem

Madness · Post by **Madness** » 26 Oct 2010, 23:48

Similar partially. But in my case it disconnects me in eol as well. After that I can normally use internet in a while after I get disconnected (it takes just few secs till it connects again). So our problem is quite similar, only difference is that Chris is not getting disconnected from eol, which somehow causes he can't use internet then at all. My OS is Xp home.. I don't know what more to say, leme know if you need any more info.

Smibu · Post by **Smibu** » 27 Oct 2010, 20:37

Simple suggestion: in times hidden -battles, add a constant indication that the battle has hidden times. Some noob just aborted my battle because he thought that there was some bug, without asking first.

Other indicators could be useful too, such as if some list is empty ("No battles in queue" for example in F3 list).

I wander. Who was this noob and why is he able to abort balles if he doesnt know of hidden times? o,o

You could do that before, so if you've waited for it for 4 years you must have missed it. EDQ had it for instance.

Mawane · Post by **Mawane** » 12 Nov 2010, 23:13

tried the frame capturing with eol yesterday and today, theres just a problem:
i have logarithmic fps when capturing fps on eol, goes like 150, 50, 30, 20, 15, 12, 10, 9...3 fps.
frames are correctly captured 30 times per second but going slower and slower to record

thats because eol folder is getting filled by more and more frames and it always checks on hdd which one is the first frame missing

when i move frames away without closing elma, it starts again to 0, even in the middle of a replay
unlike constfps which i had to close elma to reset to 0

Kopaka · Post by **Kopaka** » 13 Nov 2010, 12:20

Pawq wrote:the usual thing messing up again? damn what's going on with the serv ;(

Nothing is wrong with the server. It has a memory limit, and the eolserver program has a memory leak so it keeps using more and more memory the longer it's open, and eventually reaches the limit. The leak is already fixed I believe just not tested yet so not rolled out for puplic version. Only thing you can do untill then is let me know when it crashes, highlight in irc probably the best, but no one does.

Chris · Post by **Chris** » 8 Dec 2010, 20:46

When I enter level with f1+enter (spy mode) map is always on left side and I can't switch it :<

Ves · Post by **Ves** » 6 Jan 2011, 09:53

two bugs related to disconnection:
1) after disconnection when the internet connection established again it almost always take more than one try to connect to EOL server. EOL client lose connection few times when reconnecting but all works fine if you just run eol.exe from scratch.
2) when EOL server went down and you try to reconnect EOL client just fucks up.

i found an interesting bug.
when you write in the chat while you're in a normal lev: when you keep backspace pressed to delete more letters one letter disapears after another.
but when you are watching a replay and you do the same only one letter disapears and then nothing happens.

gz for finding that out Bloudle poster.

When I watch a reC and press F2 or F3 for spy, then it says I'm spying different kuskis, but hey, I'm not.
