Topic: Bugs between build20 and build21

WorldSavior wrote:

The ship transport has suffered a lot after build20. Not only that there is now a pointless penalty time for ware-unloading which reduces the game fun and changes the game in an unnecessary way, there is also a new bug which can bring down whole island economies: Wares don't get transported. Some ships go around and transport some wares, but many wares stay in the port and many ships just sit around while the amount of wares which are waiting for being shipped increases into thousands of pieces. (amazons6762)

Has this been fixed again?

yes, this was one of the latest commits in master before scheduling winterfreeze. you might consider testing it either in latest master or amazons 7461. This would help for ensuring quality for the ReleaseCandidate

Bug in the current amazon build: If you create a savegame from a replay, you cannot load it.

I can confirm this partly. The savegame is not listed in the in game load list. However it is loadable from the filesystem (open with or doubleclick on the file)

Still it's a nasty regression bug. And if I doublecklck on the file, there is no loading, the folder just opens and that's it.

The doubleclick only works if you save in compressed format obviously. However I agree this is an ennoying bug

Adding --loadgame=save/name.wgf in the command line also works, regardless of the save format.

Thanks for the hint, this works for single player games, but not for

• savegames created by local network / by replays
• savegames created in the multiplayer lobby games

It doesn't, i've been saving in compressed format for years and have not changed that

However I agree this is an ennoying bug

And it's even worse: The same bug happens if you save a game from a local network match - not loadable.

Luckily the bug doesn't happen if you save a game from a metaserver network match - because then the tournament would have a big problem.

In this case this needs to be fixed before b21.

+1

The bug that single player savegames are not loadable in multiplayer still exists and vice versa. Or at least one of them.

Have they ever been?

Not that I'd know, that's why I've written "still"....

I'll investigate this later, thanks for reporting. Should be an easy fix.

Edit: PR is up https://github.com/widelands/widelands/pull/3949

If not easily fixable: I think that shift+click is more important than the "keep wares even though enhancing / dismantling", as this is not perfect yet anyway

For the future: It is getting a bit annoying to always have to ask "Why do you think a certain feature is 'not perfect'?". So I'm going to ignore comments like that without explanations from now on…
