    Crash fighting Morgoth. Not easily replicable. Morgoth summoned several Uniques, including the unpronouncable Q. @ TO'd Morgie away, then read a ?Destruction. Crash!

    Edit: After 5 more crashes, none of them replicable, some in melee, some using Destruction, Morgoth is DEAD!!!

But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see.”

      Congrats on your persistence

      Looks like it's a problem with destroying the area.

        Well I'm back, bored and looking for a little light coding. (Not so much playing.)
        First thing, I think I will recreate the redo-log I made here.


        It will make ALL crashes and bugs repeatable.

        Ugh. C programming. It's been YEARS since I used anything but C++, C#, SQL, Haskell.

            I sense that 5 might be in his wheelhouse.

              You have seen NPP's C++ now, right?

                Not looking at recent NPP yet, only 0.5.2, so no.

                Right now I am doing:
                * replay log (V) (task 5). All those hard-to-repro bugs would likely be easier to find with this. (And yes, I know it is easy to exploit. I will make the replay mode set a new cheat flag.)

                * update Quickband to modern NPP code. First step is integrate with 0.5.2 in NPP git repository for later branch merge. Unfortunately I can't find NPP 0.4.x code to do a 3-way merge from.

                Does anyone have that source code? (I think it was NPP 0.4.1 that Quickband used.)

                  Well, it is sort of C++. The code I am looking at is all in extern C blocks. If this changes, the Quickband merge will become impossible. So I better get it done fast!

                    OK, one final build on this branch - Windows and OS X versions. This includes
                    • Fixes (I believe) to the crashes from fighting Morgoth - turns out it was technical issues with how I was listing objects
                    • Massive reduction in game slowdown - again the problem wasn't what I expected (object list), but doing unnecessary lookups during map drawing
                    • all the current bugfixes to the master branch


                    Current plan is to pull both this and the cone breath branch into master soon, and then start on rune-based ID.

                      Have descended a new @ all the way to DL 99 and am ready to take on Sauron then Morgoth in, hopefully, quick succession. Still had three melee crashes on the way down, but none of them replicable. Look forward to the cone breath and knowledge branches being pulled into the master.

                        Excellent. I had one crash I couldn't account for too - I think there's some rare case that's still causing problems. Is the behaviour of item and dungeon knowledge all making sense?
