 |
|
The gibbous moon waxes full! Hot buttered syrup flows! The Werewaffle howls! Download it here, read about its terrifying features here
Amongst the myriad of new features that are included in the Werewaffle release are:
* Numerous performance improvements, especially to scripting.
* Fill tool for the tilemap editor.
* Mark/Clone brush tool in the sprite editor and the maptile editor.
* New default Master Palette for new games.
* Each tilemap layer can now use a different tileset.
* Shops display equippability
* Various new attack bitsets, enemy bitsets, sound triggers, etc.
* The mouse is vastly more usable in the sprite and tile editors.
* Scads of bugfixes
* A nifty new revision of Vikings of Midgard
EDIT: The werewaffle+ release on August 20 2008 fixes some outstanding sound and music issues with Werewaffle. Werewaffle+ is the stablest werewaffle yet! |

What sucks is if you keep up with the nightlies, it makes the official released version not seem as awesome :\
eitherway, but especially for those who don't get the nightlies, rejoice.

I find them awesome, but mostly for the fact that FEATURE_X in a nightly has now made the cut and is stable and won't blow up in your face.
See also: custom menus, which were in nightlies for (relative) eons before it finally showed up in an actual release. |

The waffle obviously does not like me very much.
I have been using the fb_native backends since the official ubersetzung release because the official releases tend to crash on my machine. For some reason, I cannot get fb_native to work now that werewaffle has been released. What generally happens is I will use a door and the screen will just stay blank with music running in the background, forcing me to manually close the game. Because it doesn't really "crash", there's nothing notable to see in the debug text unfortunately.
I have tinkered around with the fb_silence backend some and haven't seen a crash yet, but have not tested it for long periods of time to be sure.

Do the current music_sdl builds still crash for you?
I would love to fix whatever bug may be causing your problems.

Werewaffle or werewaffle+ ?
Can you make a simplified test case, or at least give me a SAV right before the problem occurs? |

Sounds like a lot of work (and it seems like it will be for you guys. I wish you good luck.)

The fb_native2 backend seems to work alright for me, and silence still has yet to crash.
The problems seem to happen at random, just like before. However, I did notice after it crashed two different games, it left something like this in g_debug.txt:

What does that mean? |

Interesting. That one is experimental, and I'm actually a bit surprised it is working best for you.
Can you tell me more about the crash you get with music_sdl?

Hmmm.. The ".mn" lump is the "Map Name" lump. It means that for whatever reason, the map name lump is either missing, or is getting deleted somehow. I would be curious if that file exists before the crash.
Also, can you try the -debug-exx nightly builds? Those might crash less randomly. |
