Get the satisfaction of fixing a bug without doing any too much work!

We have over 220 bugs in the OHRRPGCE Bug List.

Some of those bugs are rather old, and I suspect that some of them have already been fixed, and others need verification. We could really use some help from OHR users to go through the list and re-test any bug that has not been commented on for a long time to see if it still happens.

You don't need to have any programming skills, all you need to to is try to reproduce the bug. Some of these might be fairly time consuming, for example, bugs that only appear rarely in specific games (Sword of Jade, Missing) that would require you to play a big game for several hours (or even all the way through) with the latest nightly wip builds

'' . bug_title('700') . ''

As far as I can tell this still happens with the latest nightly. When you write a global that fits the FAIL conditions (if number/32768 returns an odd number), save the game, and then reload it, the global will mysteriously turn into a negative number. I used the following code to test it myself.

Wait, doesn't the engine use signed ints for short-class variables? That might be the source of #700.

Let me load up my hex editor to check the values...

*Checks*

40000 in hex is 9C40... which is over the halfway mark for a signed short, meaning that 9C40 will loop around from the highest magnitude back to -1, which would be FFFF in hex for a short.

Maybe we need an option to use unsigned ints for our globals......

I just made a change that should fix '' . bug_title('700') . ''. Please re-test with tonight's nightly build and let me know if it helps.

I checked, and there are approximately 85 real bugs on the list. Many of them are just errata (which you're encouraged to report anyway!) or only apply to nondefault backends. It seems I can't post a link to the trimmed down list, the URL is too long.
