Many bugs in 1.8!

[Sangel]

Big thanks for reporting!
I've just fixed that particular "Mandatory WML child missing..." bug. The fix is in branches/1.8 in [rev]42123[/rev] and in trunk in [rev]42125[/rev],
and the fix will be included in 1.8.1 and 1.9.0
The usual (not only) cause was 'host sending/receiving a chat message during AI attack'

And now we've gone from cryptic error to fixed! Thanks Crab, that's great news.

Wait, if I download those two files it will fix the problem?
And where do I actually place them?

No, you need to download the files, and recompile Wesnoth to use them. That's not a simple task; if you're not comfortable compiling your own software, I wouldn't recommend this as a starting point.

Another bug... when to a friend I wanted to told him "looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... ol" the lobby crashed me with the next message:

6th BUG Find in wesnoth 1.8!

When I was playing in a room had happened a disconexion, well, after my teammate Edarl Gived me the side, I took I cant move any unit. (I lost a turn because a bug -.-")

At turn 2 I can't move my recruits and my leader LOL!!

Its spamming era, for that I have build only thunderers (crappy random :/)

Can you describe the sequence in detail ? e.g., you played 2 on 2 ? which side numbers ? all human sides or ai, too ? when (on what and whose turn) the disconnection happened? when your teammate has given you control ? when you found out that the movement points were not restored ? also, if you've got replays, please PM them, if possible. from both you and your teammate, if possible.

with more info it might be possible to reproduce this bug (and I've seen it at least once before). thanks!

Hello,

I now play under the nick Ruben_ and I play the mac version.
I just want to mention another bug I encountered, which is that the game shuts down when I try to send someone a private message.

that was all, keep up the good stuff, drakes look great, Ruben

Just a reminder: saved games from when this is happening can be helpful, and specifics to how to reproduce the bugs are worthwhile to the developers. Error messages and checking for messages in one's stderr or console is good, too.

Also, reporting bugs at bugs.wesnoth.org is a good idea.

And perhaps this thread is best placed in the Tech Support forum?

Well, this was a 3vs3 game, Humans vs AIs

Humans haves the sides: 1,4 and 6
AI haves the sides: 2,3 and 5.

I got a dc in the turn of the side 6 (a human) after, who tooks my side gived me my side againist, but him gived me my side in my turn, And I had observed I dont have anything to move, He didnt moved anything.

That is really weird.


7th BUG!!

When I was playing a 3P survival, I got this message when the AI was moving in the turn 42.

This bug had interrupt me the game -.-"

IMHO that's not a bug and it's also possible to do it with the old lobby.

It can also be done on IRC.
