Replacer not quite working right yet in 8.0....

April 21, 2010, 01:12:42 am

So I tried out the replacer in James's devel branch. It worked great for replacing Hackney carriages with Omnibuses (which was lovely, as there were dozens of hackneys). This led me to be overly optimistic.

Replacing goods trains didn't work right. I attempted to replace a Puffing Billy with a whole lot of 2t bulk trucks with a Lion with a whole lot (27) of 5t bulk trucks. I got some real weirdness -- a Lion driving around with invisible goods wagons, reserving the wrong sections of track, and finally causing a crash. It's clearly generating bad data.

Also, the "replace all vehicles of this type" crashes immediately, but you probably knew that.

Neroden,

thank you very much for the report. I think that I have fixed the weirdness problem - have a look at the latest commit. As for the "replace all vehicles of this type" - it doesn't crash for me. Can you give me a backtrace?

Ugh, it's crashing in the load-game code again. That bug where two paks have names where one is a prefix of the other, which I mentioned earlier? Really, really annoying when doing pak debugging.

Anyway, after renaming the second pak folder, I was able to test. You still have ****ertions turned off, eh?

Thanks very much for fixing the weirdness. Being able to replace an entire line of trains is very pleasing. :-)

Neroden,

****ertions should be on for debug builds and off for release builds (those that are built automatically and made available for download). Is that not the pattern that is working out in practice? Because I use Windows, it's difficult for me to see how these things pan out on other platforms - I know that I have it set up correctly for Windows.

Thank you for the backtrace - problem found and fixed in the -devel branch.

(As for the loading issue - perhaps Bernd could look into that, since he's been dealing with loading/saving issues recently...?)
