Wesnoth 1.1.13 (windows) crashing mid-game.

[energyman76c]

and after I posted it, I played from the savegame, and it did not crash.

*sigh* it is highly random. The AI only needs to make one move different, like one hex shorter, or to the other side, or move its units in a different order, and it won't crash...

has anyone tried grepping the png files for 'profile' yet?

has anyone tried grepping the png files for 'profile' yet?

I thought that problem was limited to Windows or not?

I can't reproduce the crash with the posted savegame

[Sapient]

So far energyman is the only non-Windows user reporting the issue. He may be experiencing a different problem.

Maybe not related to this post, but i try. I have 1.1.13 (1.2 Branch) on a Linux computer. When i try to play the campaign Volcano Island it simply crashes (segfault) shortly after the start. I am able to build up my army of nagas and then *boom*.

Thats it. I have done this two times, so it is reproduceable . I like to get your feedback before i file a bugreport.

greets

[Sapient]

if you could post a stacktrace that would be a lot more helpful than the error.txt

[vonHalenbach]

I dont have a backtrace. Tried to make one, but failed.

[SkeletonCrew]

Could you post a savegame and the way to reproduce the crash, then I'll take a look at it tonight.

has anyone tried grepping the png files for 'profile' yet?

I have found the following pngs with the word profile in them:

Sorry for not posting the paths, I copied all them to a common folder to make the script, I am not too good with the shell (yet!)

[Sapient]

thanks, elricz. The next step is for someone to convert -strip those images with imageMagik and then post a patch file for Windows users.

thanks, elricz. The next step is for someone to convert -strip those images with imageMagik and then post a patch file for Windows users.

I have done it, the zip file contains a folder called images with the offending images in the proper subfolders, converted with ImageMagik. Just unzipping and copying over the images folder should do the trick.

[ivanovic]

As reference for the next time, there are the commands I did just run to find all the png images with a profile key in them. Afterwards I did strip exaclty these files. Here are the commands:

Code: Select all

find . -name '*.png' -exec grep -li profil {} \; > images_to_convert
for i in `cat images_to_convert`; do convert -strip $i $i; done
svn ci
rm images_to_convert

I'll probably put this into a simple bash script that can be run shortly before releases.

EDIT:
I did just commit a the script utils/strip_image_profiles.sh so that it is easy to remove these profiles next time.

[vonHalenbach]

Could you post a savegame and the way to reproduce the crash, then I'll take a look at it tonight.

Sorry, i have no Savegame, because it crashes right at the start of that game. As i described above, i am able to put nagas in my keep, then the other parties do it themselves and then it crashes.
Can it be that this is responsible for that?:

error config: Invalid alignment found for Nagini Shaman: ''
error config: Invalid alignment found for Nagini Witch: ''
error config: Invalid alignment found for Deep magus: ''

[Noyga]

It looks that the definition of those naga have some errors inside and use a lot of depreciated WML... Perhaps this weird WML is responsible of the crash ?

Thanks elricz and ivanovic. The next step is for Windows users to try the patch and see if they still get crashes while starting/playing games.
