pls. it's mega boring to spy in a flagtag balle... ;s

Zoom 0,25 and it might be quite fun.

Editor:
I can open a level with 20000 vertices in editor, if i check topology, everything is right, but when i press play, i get internal error.
If I add another vertex, it says I have too many vertices. <max: 20000>
If i put 5003 vertices (over normal-elma max), I dont get any error. If I put 5130 (which is ALE max vertices amount), I don't get any error. If I put 5133, I do get an internal error.

milagros · Post by **milagros** » 31 Jul 2010, 19:35

there is prolly some "good" reason for teh limit, i've never tested it, perhaps i should change teh to 5130

Bug: If you press F1 before entering a rec, it lags.

milagros · Post by **milagros** » 31 Jul 2010, 19:48

f1+enter does teh same as constfps - captures all teh pcx files at given framerate
works 10x faster in window mode

Madness · Post by **Madness** » 31 Jul 2010, 19:56

Is there any way to turn this off ? I use F1 for fast motion mode, so it's quite annoying sometimes.

milagros · Post by **milagros** » 31 Jul 2010, 20:56

you can change teh default f1 key

Would be nice to have those listed like they were in belma... for obvious reasons. Did I miss something in the config?

milagros · Post by **milagros** » 31 Jul 2010, 21:02

decrease number of chatlines to 5-10

p00 & Bismuth are there 2 times, probably cancelled their multi and started again, but i think it should be checked and worse result should be deleted

edit: hmm, apart from max fuckedup players online (both list on the right and green players) i noticed another bug, i won multi with jon, and this balle (cpx015) is in my stats, but its not in jon's

http://elmaonline.moposite.com/?s=battles&b=220
http://elmaonline.moposite.com/?s=players&k=Pawq
http://elmaonline.moposite.com/?s=playe ... rkulsykkel
so probably 2nd player of multi doesnt get the result

another one, maw started survivor
http://elmaonline.moposite.com/?s=battles&b=222
map of lev is max wrong (see lev)
and also see rec, its the wrong one, probably last run. i didnt reconnect or anything, just played.
http://up.k10x.net/vungjvhwhqfle/chat.txt
read pls
forgot about that bug, the one related to eol not knowing that the worst time is actually the best one and so concidering "best" times as best ones

Mawane · Post by **Mawane** » 1 Aug 2010, 15:02

Lock new levels in eolconf and ingame option1+F3 doesn't work, gotta disconnect to avoid upload. (kopaka didnt code it on site)

also, dunno wtf bug is this, but when i try that volt between 4,80 and 5,00, i get internal error every time if its good position for bounce like in the rec. is the bug bounce more sensitive to get internal error? i use 100 fps in my runs, dunno for kazan

EDIT, i get the error even with 350 fps

milagros · Post by **milagros** » 1 Aug 2010, 19:21

fixed some bugs (check list), will upload after all bugs are fixed or after i give up cause i cant reproduce

jblaze · Post by **jblaze** » 1 Aug 2010, 19:22

Some bug on eol site Stats -> Internals
Didnt check other ints, but Mawane and veezay have 2 times on Warm up:

Mawane · Post by **Mawane** » 2 Aug 2010, 00:09

here is how i get the Internal error:

milagros · Post by **milagros** » 2 Aug 2010, 12:40

wonder why do you have fps limit on

milagros · Post by **milagros** » 2 Aug 2010, 12:45

i guess noone else can reproduce teh
so if you have time, you can try various things like offline / various setting changes to figure out what exactly is the problem

Pascal · Post by **Pascal** » 2 Aug 2010, 16:42

I have won several battles already but there is still 0 Wins in my Player Stats.

pawq · Post by **pawq** » 2 Aug 2010, 18:11

i cant play with your setting really, try to change lets say zoom to 1.8 if it still crashes

Mawane · Post by **Mawane** » 3 Aug 2010, 03:05

effect of resolution (windowed mode):
my native screen resolution is 1440x900
1680x1050: fine
1920x1080: fine
1920x1200: internal error when pressing enter to play level (not causing my reported bug)

effect of zoom with same settings:
finally, brake doesnt seem to bother to the internal error
1.7 no crash
1,75 crash like in video
1.8 crash at less than a wheel from ground
1.9 crash at 25% cliff-ground
2 crash at 50% cliff-ground
2.05 crash at 60% cliff-ground
2.1 crashing when pressing enter to play level

effect of minimap:
900x99 zoom 1.25: doesnt change the internal error from my previous report, but it's buggy. you gotta test it

btw, i can reproduce with windowed mode, you you want to test with my resolution, it should work
and about fps limiter, i just always thought i needed it to get more than 60fps from screen frequency, thx for the advice

Whenever i press F5 or F6 i get an eol.exe error.

Yes, there were some normal battles too, for example zebra's lev - z0321.lev or unseen here bEAT's level - wyIEB13.lev.

someone had this bug before and it got solved by downloading eol.exe again
the problem is in some setting but we never found out what.. so it would help if you upload your exe (you can change nick/pass)

Lukazz · Post by **Lukazz** » 3 Aug 2010, 22:07

i just played with Zero in a multiballe, and i didn't see him moving. i always saw him in the start position, although he said he is driving.

pawq · Post by **pawq** » 3 Aug 2010, 22:47

at first, if somebody has "lock levels" ticked, his battles will be undownloadable (balle appears but after F4 levels dont ever download), its solution Ali came up with
at second, was multi battle with applebug at start (apple in between the wheels), i managed to finish with talli like 3 times and the finishes didnt count, i just stopped at flower like i finished, but there was no time, if esced in like 3s then you failed to finish popped up, if not - eol freezed and i had to abort the process to turn it off. was kinda annoying

same happened with pawq =/

jblaze · Post by **jblaze** » 4 Aug 2010, 16:43

I think that it will be good if there will be max speed showed after quitting lev (on "level menu"), cuz for examle today i reached 9000 on balle today, but i managed to see only 600 on monitor.
It will be really helpful if somehow passibel

Ali · Post by **Ali** » 4 Aug 2010, 19:32

this multibattle - win time is 31.02 and win rec 33.1 ... wtf?

pawq · Post by **pawq** » 4 Aug 2010, 19:42

Pascal got internal error once, probably his eol thought that there was no rec, so it overwrote it with best rec after reconnect (int error)

milagros · Post by **milagros** » 4 Aug 2010, 19:55

prolly didnt check this for multi

Xiphias · Post by **Xiphias** » 5 Aug 2010, 19:24

Haven't read through the topic so dunno if old but found one bug:

If you press F8 and toggle the players with F2 and then press F8 (to go out of the function) and now try to toggle spy with F2 it doesn't work.
You have to press F9 twice to get it to work. Or reenter lvl.

Not a bug, but when you have the flag and die, it should pass to someone that have lesser flag time

Mawane · Post by **Mawane** » 5 Aug 2010, 23:22

When typing a level ingame, cases aren't sensitive, but at least should download with correct case
Level in database: ElMa01.lev
Level name typed by user: elma01.lev
Level downloaded: elma01.lev
The level is the same and can see others, but still small fix would worth it.

just for your info, what is happening if i try to download ali019.lev and there are 2 levs called like that?
-> it downloads the 1st one uploaded on database
worth changing that? nah cuz can dl on eol site

Xiphias · Post by **Xiphias** » 6 Aug 2010, 01:25

250 apples bug: Added 250 apples to a level. While battling there were apparently only 206 apples in the level and we couldn't finish.

Level is here: http://zworqy.com/up/files/appppple.lev

Oh: Didn't know it was on the site: http://elmaonline.moposite.com/?s=battl ... orate=true

Don't be confused about that rec. I figured it would be a good time to check what the online viewer does when rec and lev don't match.

Xiphias · Post by **Xiphias** » 7 Aug 2010, 02:07

- If you leave Best Times list on while battle the list doesn't get refreshed when the battle ends. You have to repress shift+f5 to get the finished times during the battle on the Best Times list.

- If you leave Best times list or Best Multi Times list on and exit to replays menu and watch a replay the Best Times list gets emptied and you have to refresh it.

Xiphias · Post by **Xiphias** » 7 Aug 2010, 05:19

- Replays menu: If you press F1 + Enter on a replay it plays the replay in SUPER ULTRA SLOW MODE xD like 0.03 each 5 seconds and you have to hold esc for like a minute to get out again. Seems like elma crashes but it doesn't.

F1 + Enter on a rec file dumps frames from the replay. Use this feature to make movies.
That is why it appears to run ultra slow.

I find it stupid that you can zoom out more than the max level size.. there should be some lines that indicate max border size.. it is impossible to find the borders with that zoom. Don't get me wrong xD Zoom is nice.. but it is just hard to know how big the level can be without getting Error.
You try yourself! =P

Polarix · Post by **Polarix** » 8 Aug 2010, 22:59

I know, i failed on making some levels because i took wrong of the zoom and got some enourmous levels instead.
