Ryzom - Bug #1481 (New): Crash on exiting GH or Apartment

2012-06-16T05:10:26+02:00

In new version 1.13, Ryzom will crash upon leaving apartment or guildhall 75% of the time. If sound is turned off, the problem is eliminated. Turning the sound tracks down to 16 or lower seems to help lower the % chance of crash, but it still will occur.

The 1.13 update has made this even more so then the 1.12.

I will add a crash report file, at the next instance.

Ryzom - Feature #1314 (New): OpenAL environment effects on Mac OS X

2011-06-06T00:45:08+02:00

One way could be ASA (Apple Spatial Audio Extension)
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#samplecode/OpenALExample/Introduction/Intro.html

Another way could be OpenAL soft

Ryzom - Bug #1308 (New): OVQT make Menu feel more Mac OS X native

2011-05-31T22:51:16+02:00

This was already working.
At the moment it seems like plugin code creates problems here.

For example, removing

  addAutoReleasedObject(new CZonePainterContext(this));

from the zonepainter plugin fixed the problem.
Same problem exists with other plugins.

Ryzom - Bug #1305 (New): Client crash in NLMISC::CFixedSizeAllocator::CNode::unlink() on Mac OS X

2011-05-29T02:15:00+02:00

on the zora entrance it just crashed:

Ryzom - Bug #1298 (Feedback): Crash assert in simple_sound when entering guild hall

2011-05-22T19:09:10+02:00

From live: When entering a guild hall, user always crashes with an assert: AST 70ba8ca0 simple_source.cpp 177 : "play"

Ryzom - Feature #1235 (New): Linux shard services launcher

2011-01-15T16:39:02+01:00

I worked on little improvements for the linux services launcher (shard.screen.rc) :

At the bottom, there is now a list of services (screen tab) launched
The time is also display to help keeping ssh open on bad internet connection.
3 keyboard shortcut added:
F7 to move up and down (C-a Esc)
F8 to go previous service (C-a n)
F9 to go next service (C-a p)

Services naming:

- Actually:
aes - Admin Executor Service
bms_master - Backup Manager Service Master
bms_pd_master - Backup Manager Service Slave
egs - Entities Game Service
gpms - Global Position Manager Service
ios - Input Output Service
rns - Ryzom Naming Service
rws - Ryzom Welcome Service
ts - Tick Service
ms - Mirror Service
ais_newbyland : AI Service NewbyLand
mfs - Mail Forum Service
su - Shard Unifier Service
fes - FrontEnd Service
sbs - Session Browser Service
lgs - LogGer Service
mos - MOnitor Service
pdss - Persistent Data Support Service
ras - Ryzom Admin Service

According to the wiki page ServiceArchitecture, Ryzom Admin Service, Ryzom Namin Service and Ryzom Welcome Service should be call AS, NS and WS.

- Same list with as, ns, ws, in alphabetical order and with (filename_of_service):
aes - Admin Executor Service (ryzom_admin_service)
ais_newbyland - AI Service NewbyLand (ai_service)
as - Admin Service (ryzom_admin_service)
bms_master - Backup Manager Service Master (backup_service)
bms_pd_master - Backup Manager Service Slave (backup_service)
egs - Entities Game Service (entities_game_service)
fes - FrontEnd Service (frontend_service)
gpms - Global Position Manager Service (gpm_service)
ios - Input Output Service (input_output_service)
lgs - LogGer Service (logger_service)
mfs - Mail Forum Service (mail_forum_service)
mos - MOnitor Service (monitor_service)
ms - Mirror Service (mirror_service)
ns - Naming Service (ryzom_naming_service)
pdss - Persistent Data Support Service (pd_support_service)
sbs - Session Browser Service (session_browser_server)
su - Shard Unifier Service (shard_unifier_service)
ts - Tick Service (tick_service)
ws - Welcome Service (ryzom_welcome_service)

There is no real logic with the short name of services.

They all end with 's' for 'service' but su.
Some have 3 letter, (mos), other only two (ms)
...

Proposition:
- remove all 's'
- for two word services, it is their first letter.
- for one word services, it is the first two letter
- (filename_of_service) that should be update
- sn_abc for same services launched differently

ad_exe - Admin Executor Service (admin_service)
ad_ser - Admin Service (admin_service)
ai_nbl - Artificial Intelligence Service NewByLand (artificial_intelligence_service)
bm_mas - Backup Manager Service Master (backup_manager_service)
bm_sla - Backup Manager Service Slave (backup_manager_service)
eg - Entities Game Service (entities_game_service)
fe - Front-End Service (front_end_service)
gp - Global Position Service (global_position_service)
io - Input Output Service (input_output_service)
lo - Logger Service (logger_service)
mf - Mail Forum Service (mail_forum_service)
mi - Mirror Service (mirror_service)
mo - Monitor Service (monitor_service)
na - Naming Service (naming_service)
pd - Persistent Data Service (persistent_data_service)
sb - Session Browser Service (session_browser_service)
su - Shard Unifier Service (shard_unifier_service)
ti - Tick Service (tick_service)
we - Welcome Service (welcome_service)

shard.screen.rc changes:
- use short name proposition
- add F7, F8, F9 keyboard shortcut
- add 'caption' to display list of services and time
- replace /bin/sh by /bin/bash (ubuntu specific, see http://dev.ryzom.com/wiki/ryzom/ConfigureForLinux#Running-the-shard shard should be update too, not sure that is the right way to do)
- shard services launch in alphabetical order
- ad_ser and ad_exe launch arguments in same order

What i plan to do if those changes are welcome and accept :
- update windows start script to reflect the new naming
- update (filename_service) and build script (i may need a little help to know the implication and how to do that)
- add a built in help (text file display in a new screen tab, or better, a manpage)
- Figure out why are Monitor, Backup Manager slave and Persistent Data Services comment ?

any comments, review or idea appreciate :)

Ryzom - Bug #1143 (New): Private message delete your phrase in chan user

2010-10-29T11:12:07+02:00

When a private message pops and you are writing in user chan, your phrase is deleted and replaced by "/tell <username_of_pop_message>"

Ryzom - Feature #1133 (New): Implement IME support for Linux

2010-10-17T23:28:33+02:00

Currently there is partially support for IME in OpenGL driver.

There should be minor changes to enable full IME support under Linux using ibus, SCIM or other XIM compatible applications.

Ryzom - Bug #1068 (New): unable to move more than one object

2010-08-12T16:40:06+02:00

I have to re-report this bug.
I thought it was resolved, but it seems that this was just a single coincidence, it seems as if it occurs random.
Sometimes when moving items from my inventory to a other location I am prompted for the number of items to move, and sometimes it just moves one single item.
It seems completely random when this bug occures, I can´t see any conditions that may cause it.

Ryzom - Bug #1040 (New): The camera is badly positionned at the beginning

2010-07-28T16:09:25+02:00

On my laptop (is it related to laptop only?) when i join the game, the camera is inside the brain of my avatar but in third person view (not first).

Ryzom - Feature #1037 (New): Manage "active" X events in OpenGL driver

2010-07-28T09:54:25+02:00

Currently, X windows are not "active" when they are handled by external lib (Qt, wxWidgets, etc...).

Check if other important X events should be implemented.

Ryzom - Feature #1035 (New): Implement mp3 player file selector under Linux

2010-07-28T09:29:00+02:00

Under Windows, we are using Win32 API to open a music file but, under Linux, there is no equivalent.

We have 2 solutions :

use the file selector from the Ring (multi-platform and better Ryzom integration)
implement a file selector using GTK+ and/or Qt

Ryzom - Bug #959 (New): Flickering and bad performance with X11 composite under KDE and Archlinux

2010-06-04T01:51:57+02:00

When using KDE with composition enabled, the client is flickering and the general performance really bad..
This is not the case, with, say, Openarena and the other opengl games that I tested.

Ryzom - Bug #801 (New): Build fails on Gentoo Linux 64bit with OpenAL enabled

2010-02-17T20:14:56+01:00

stdopenal.h seems to lack the <AL/alext.h> include on my system, which is why the compilation fails with a missing macro reference in sound_driver_al.cpp. I have no idea if adding #include <AL/alext.h> after the other two OpenAL header files (must be after these two!) will "fix" it on every other system (is there an AL/alext.h with every OpenAL distribution?).

Ryzom - Bug #651 (New): NeL3D fails to run on GM45 Intel on Linux

2009-08-18T07:40:40+02:00

xf86-video-intel 2.8.0, Linux kernel 2.6.30.*, xorg-server 1.6.3

The problem is the NVVertexProgram extension, which the driver proclaims to support (it also has NVVertexProgramEmulated). The OpenGL backend has a preference on this over lets say ARBVertexProgram. Result is the driver giving up as soon as some real world NVVertexProgram comes along. Manually disabling this extension yields a successful run of Snowballs, for example.

The bug should be pushed upstream for this specific case, however, it highlights a general problem we have been running into and will run into in the future to come: Certain OpenGL extensions don't work at all or perform worse than similar other ones on certain hardware/driver combinations.
