Darwinia

Please can you try out

Darwinia Linux Patch 1.4.0b9

It should patch an existing installation of Darwinia (provided that it was installed using the standard installation program).

Changes from 1.3:

• Fix problem where saving a game with Squaddies in transport would cause a segmentation fault on subsequent level load
  
• Fix SIGFPE during Insurrection:Database
  
• Fix problem where dynamic buildings were not able to trigger objectives unless listed in the map file.
  
• Integrate foreign language support from latest Windows Darwinia

So, 1.4.0 is before what?

/me ducks to avoid punishment for a bad pun.

That was awful. I mean, you've just brought the Satan of Puns into the world.

Aw, shucks. You realize, though, that flattery will get you no where.

Just played a (mod) level with it, not seen any problems so far.

Just missing the Ctrl+Z documentation .

I am getting "Fatal signal: Floating Point Exception (SDL Parachute Deployed)" right as the graphics start when opening the Database level (2nd level) of Insurrection 1.1.0. The first level played fine (http://wendryn.com/darwinia/insurrection/Insurrection1.1.0.zip)
I do see a few frames of darwinians moving so it's not *quite* instantaneous. It's very repeatable (including in the all areas profile, so it's not a game.txt thing). If there's anything I can do to get a better trace I'm quite willing.

I don't know if this is a 1.4.0b4 thing or an Insurrection 1.1.0 vs 1.0.3 thing (unfortunately I upgraded both at the same time - bad plan, but I'm not sure how to revert to 1.3 to check). So I'll point at the beta and see if anyone else can confirm or deny:-)

I did notice when it launched that it said "SDL Version: Compiled against 1.2.9, running with 1.2.8' - this seems odd. I have libSDL1.2.9 on my system, but darwinia seems to have its own copy, apparently not matching what 1.4b4 was built with?

Kevin,

Insurrection 1.0.3 is still up. However, some Windows users have also noticed some problems with that level. I would love to track them down and figure out what is going wrong. If a blackbox.txt file has been generated, that might help.

Fix SIGFPE during Insurrection:Database

Generally I wouldn't ask about a Linux issue, as it is not my general domain of knowledge, but because my mod was mentioned, I don't feel bad asking about this one. What does this mean, and might it affect Windows users as well?

[John]

SIGFPE is a floating point exception, usually caused by a division by zero. Part of the behaviour of Darwinians is to avoid obstacles caused by nearby buildings. Unfortunately if there are no nearby buildings, a situation that arises in Insurrection:Database, this lead to a division by zero.

On Linux it seems that the default way to handle this condition is to raise the SIGFPE signal, and on Windows the default is to yield not-a-number values (NaNs) which can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how you look at it!

In this case, I believe that the Windows version of Darwinia is not adversely affected, however, the fix for the linux version will make it's way into the Windows version in the next released patch.

Update from 1.30 to 1.40beta9 without problems. Tested an update with root and normal user installation.
Game itself runs fine, like before. Rendering speed seems to be the same like 1.30.
Darwinia is reporting, that it is compiled against SDL 1.2.9, but running with 1.2.8. ldd reports, that darwinia.bin.x86 is using the provided libSDL.

System: SUSE 9.2 32-bit, Athlon 64 3200+, Nvidia 6800 GT with 1.0-8178.

[ghostDancer]

same as fortanius,
no problem at all only the SDL message but working perfectly, my system is a Debian Sarge with kernel 2.6.15. Tried both the gesture system and the icon one.
My wife hates you all at Introversion by the way, "You are again killing green men!!, didn't you end that horrible game?". I tried to introduce her to computer games but she suffers technophobia (well she mainly hates computers).

Game installs and loads OK but exits when I try to enter a level (Biosphere, Mine etc). I'm running Ubuntu dapper 6.06, here is my blackbox.txt

Maxol, can you try editing your preferences.txt file, change LandscapeRenderMode from 2 to 1
