Bugs fixed in the unofficial version

Post by **Graf Zahl** » Wed Jul 20, 2005 4:22 am

EDIT: I added some more bugs that are fixed in 2.0.99 and also made a list of many 'not a bug's that should be moved to the 'closed bugs' forum.

This is just meant as a reference.

The following bugs are fixed in the unofficial version:

Doors at co-ordinates 0,0 would destroy the player's armor: (already fixed in 2.1.0)
*http://forum.zdoom.org/potato.php?t=5424
*http://forum.zdoom.org/potato.php?t=7038
*http://forum.zdoom.org/potato.php?t=6728

Additionally there's still some quick hack code in P_DoCrunch that was added to circumvent this that should be removed now:

Code: Select all


	// crunch dropped items
	if (thing->flags & MF_DROPPED)
    {
    	// [GrafZahl] Just a quick fix to prevent items in a player's inventory from being crushed
    	// I still think this should be taken care of by the inventory system, not a special check here.
		if (!thing->IsKindOf(RUNTIME_CLASS(AInventory)) || !static_cast<AInventory*>(thing)->Owner)
			thing->Destroy ();
		return;		// keep checking
    }

)

@Graf, could you try to find the bug that hangs "void.wad" in the intro after somebody says "Let's Go!"

Graf: Could you please put the topic title of the bug next to the link? or better yet, make the link the topic title.
It would kinda help with the readabillity.

I'll do when I have some spare time.

Thanks for making this sticky. That will make things a little easier.

From now on I will post all the bugs that I found and fixed for the unofficial version here. Here's the first:

Light transfer thinkers don't properly transfer any lighting effect that was started after them because the lighting effect comes later in the thinker chain.

Fixed by adding 2 new statnums: One for DLighting and another for DLightTransfer. This should ensure that all light transfers are handled after any lighting effect.

The status bar face bug still remains, but that's childs play compared to the other ones.

Depends on whether it is know what causes that particular bug

I don't. And frankly I don't have any desire to investigate. If Randy posts his fix I'm glad to add it to the unofficial build but IMO it's not worth redundant work.
