Defense of the Marshal (MP Scenario) [Version: 1.2.2]

Post by **Yogibear** » July 5th, 2006, 7:17 pm

The fix has been committed to SVN. I checked with isaac and the next release might take a while (depending on how fast we can deal with the bugs) so i will upload a fixed windows binary soon.

Stay tuned

And here we go:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wesn ... p?download

1. Download
2. Extract the archive content into the program directory
3. go and have fun

.

btw, quick replay for multiplayer observer reliably works now, too.

Edit: Changed the link to point to the new fix that really works now

Awesome, thanks for attending to this Yogi! To make sure I understand right... all players will need to either compile their own version of wesnoth from latest SVN, or in the case of windows download the binary you provided and overwrite wesnoth.exe in order for DoTM to work again... is that right?

correct

A possible workaround for 1.1.7 (until the next release) would be to cause the unit spawns on turn events instead of side turn events. Unit spawns on AI side turn events were the problem, I think.

Yes, this is true, it's a problem with AI side turns. Since the AI is running on the host computer (the host of the game), he is the only one who must have the fix installed.
However, i recommend any participant to get the fix in case the host leaves and gets replaced.

I got the fix and I tried hosted a dotm on the 1.1.7 server....it didnt work.
Same problem - the creeps were invisible for everyone except for me

I believe all players must have the fixed version and maybe the people who played with you didn't have the fixed version.

I just tried a 2v2 where everyone had the fix... purple creeps showed up OK, but as soon as white creeps spawned everyone but host got OOS and the white goblins were not visible to anyone but the host.

I wonder if it is a cross-platform issue... solme were on windows and some were on linux. I will try to do some testing to isolate if that's the case. But for now it does not appear to work

OK I did some more testing and this is what I've found:

A) No difference if players are all windows, or some linux and some windows. Only scenario i haven't tried is with linux player as host.

B) It is always one side of creeps visible, and one side of creeps invisible. This seems to always follow the side of the host: that is to say if host is on the west side, then white creeps are visible and purple invisible. If host is on east side then purple creeps visible and white creeps invisible. This leads me to think there is still a problem with moves happening on host's computer.

C) I have attached the out-of-synch errors that are generated for a non-host player. You get an out-of-synch error with each goblin spawn, and it says something like "unfound location for source of movement".

You are right, the first fix was only partial. This one is supposed to work without any problems:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wesn ... p?download

The first link is no longer existent.

And again: The only one that needs to have the fix is the host (really

).

Follow up:

Apparently we're still having problems. I had a game with alchemist 1v1 and we both had the fix installed. However we still get OoS errors. We had some instances where only 1 goblin from each side appear and the other remaining goblins would not appear (to the non host players). Another instance involves either one side with no goblins or no goblins at all I believe.

So in the end... DOTM is still not playable =/
