Zandronum

Well, I have just a few questions:
1. Will the things with routers be fixed completely? In Skulltag, the server would only appear when it wanted, as if it was self-aware. even with UPnP support.

2. Could the Very Fatal Error prompt be improved? I have this constant problem with a mod where it randomly crashes with Very Fatal Error, but I can't make head or tail of what causes it exactly.

3. [OpenGL] It is too hardware-intensive without need. Is it going to be tweaked as to consume less memory and CPU?

I'm looking forward to see this grow into a nice SP. Thank you.

1. dunno, never had a problem other than having to forward ports.

2. you're probably doing something wrong. what mod is it and what are the conditions that it crashes under?

3. IIRC, yes they are working on optimizing the OpenGL code.

4. go back to e6, furfag

5. lol jk welcome back to Skulltag dude! I haven't seen you in years. :p

I almost never had that problem. Did you have ports 10666-10 forwarded? not sure if you need anymore then just 10666

I would love to see something like this as well. Sometimes very few around here, can tell what causes the crash from the crashlogs that zandro generates.

If all else fails, try posting the Crashlog on the forums, and maybe One of the Dev's will figure it out. Which brings the question, Why is the Attachments 1kb limited? That's not even enough for half of the crashreport...

Best to ask that at the Zdoom or GzDoom Forums. I'm sure there is nothing more Torr or anyone else on the Dev Team for Zandro can do.

Wtf is a SP? Single Player?

Source Port, it seems.

My bad. I didn't notice that till just now. heh.. I'm sure it will be better then what it was back then. Thankfully we can update the site as we please now, and not have to wait for a certain someone.. or rather, beg them to fix something..

Anyhow....

That sounds more like a problem on your end, but if you think that something in Zandronum is broken, make sure that it's still broken in the latest Zandronum beta build and if it is, report it at the tracker.

Zandronum shouldn't crash. If it does it could be a Zandronum bug. Test if it still crashes in the latest beta build and if it does, report it at the tracker, include a crash log and preferably a minimal example wad.

Well, it's not that I cannot work on the GZDoom renderer (I added several features to it in the past), working on the online aspects of the engine keeps me more than busy though, so I have no plans to work on the renderer for the foreseeable future.
