Zandronum 1.3

[talisa]

in-game music is broken for me in this new version

1) Check that your config hasn't changed

2) Move your config out of the folder and try with a default config

3) If this fails, can you file a bug report: http://zandronum.com/tracker/my_view_page.php

I'm able to get music working on Linux and Windows builds of 1.3.

[talisa]

moved my old config out of zandronum folder and let zandronum create a new one, and music worked then.

then used notepad++ compare plugin to compare old+new config to see which sound-settings were different
and copied the sound-settings from new config into old one and then moved old conf back to zandronum folder

music works now in zandronum 1.3 for me :D

[Watermelon]

Glad to hear :)

Is it possible to see what settings may have changed? Do you know what variables were possibly different?

[talisa]

it were these which were different in my old config (these are from working config)
snd_output_format=PCM-16
snd_speakermode=Auto
snd_resampler=Linear
snd_waterreverb=true
snd_hrtf=false
snd_buffercount=0
snd_driver=0

but no idea which one it was that was the culprit, and i tried playing around with settings in zandronum and cant seem to replicate the no-music problem

Surprised to see you here talisa when last I mentioned Zandronum on the Q1 forums you expressed a preference for the Doomsday engine. :-)

I installed Zandronum 1.3 from the AUR, but its linking to the out of date OpenSSL 0.9.8 when OpenSSL 1.0.1i is the current. That's a show stopper which is fixed by building/installing openssl098 which apparently can coexist with the current thankfully.

[talisa]

sure i like zandronum too, its great for brutal doom

doomsday i like for HD-ness, but zandronum is great for mods and online play

We don't supply AUR packages. Our 'zandronum' package from debian.drdteam.org, our official repository, depends on OpenSSL 1.0.

I think you can actually symlink openssl 1.0.1 in the zandronum directory as libssl.so.0.9.8 and libcrypto.so.0.9.8 and it will work, Zandronum doesn't use any part of the API that changed. At least I think it worked when I briefly tried it, but I also have 0.9.8 installed on my system (Ubuntu 14.04 includes packages for both since 10.04 is still supported).

Also, it looks like the AUR downloads both fmod and zandronum even though the fmod lib is included in the archive.

On that note, I did throw these up yesterday for Debian systems. The AUR package could extract from there as well.

I will need to talk to Torr next weekend about changing his build process to fix the tar.bz2.

[Retro Gamer]

Thank you for the info Edward-san I'm not complaining, just stating my experience with the option made available to arch based distro users. :-) I'm sure I could manually pull and install from the debian package.

And yes Blzut3 a few extra steps, but you are correct. I installed this on my son's linux box and forgot I had made links when I had previously installed it on my PC's. FYI the AUR package is pulling from zandronum.com :"http://zandronum.com/downloads/${pkgnam ... 64.tar.bz2". If either links could be made by the install or just include 0.9.8 as a dependency would address the issue there. I already commented on the AUR.

The real problem I'm having with this 1.3 release is no music. I also experiencing weird crashing at full screen 1920x1080 with one Chex3 mod my son loves where I believe all was fine before the upgrade. The no music is what concerns me the most and I'm looking for the cause of it now. Might be something with the fmod install.

I assume you already tried this, right?

[Retro Gamer]

You assume correct I tried the easy stuff one would try 1st. That has no effect. I did just find out the crashing and the no music are related. fmod "seems" to initialize correctly as far as console output no errors only shows:

Code: Select all

I_InitSound: Initializing FMOD
FMOD Sound System, copyright � Firelight Technologies Pty, Ltd., 1994-2009.

I only have soundfx, but no music with fmod selected in sound options and seems like random crashes on some end of level map changes. If I select TiMidity++ which I have installed and restart the sound system it crashes on change with message like:

Code: Select all

execvp failed
zandronum: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0.
[xcb] Unknown sequence number while processing queue
[xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client and XInitThreads has not been called
[xcb] Aborting, sorry about that.
zandronum: xcb_io.c:274: poll_for_event: Assertion `!xcb_xlib_threads_sequence_lost' failed.

or just most the time this:

Code: Select all

execvp failed
zandronum: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0.

Opl synth emulation which I have never used before works fine for midi, but I still want to fix the fmod issue. I installed gzdoom and fmod is the same there with the exception gzdoom handles sound system issues/crashes more gracefully without crashing the whole engine. At this point it looks more and more an issue with fmod all of a sudden and most likely not Zandronum. I'll just use Opl synth emulation from now on and try to fix fmod whenever.

Thank you everyone for your input.

I assume you already tried this, right?

The latest zspecial.acs doesn't seem to be available anywhere, the closest is here: http://zandronum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=4973 but this is missing important functions like BeginDBTransaction() and GetDBEntryRank etc..

[Torr Samaho]

The latest zspecial.acs can be found here.

Thanks.

Code: Select all

 -    - Fixed: Monsters near the bottom of a ledge or fence sometimes appeared as teleporting up on clients online. [Torr Samaho]

Best change of this version! That was so annoying at All Out War 2 with turrets and so on..

Code: Select all

 +    - Added the new vote type "forcespec" that forces a player to spectate. It can be disabled with the new CVAR sv_noforcespecvote (default false). [Torr Samaho]

You should integrate it into the game voting menu or at least in the wiki, because no one seems to know about this.

There is a bug though that all pings of players are listed as 0 on scoreboard. And this seems zandronum related to me, because it didnt only happen in complex doom, it happened in "bosses from hell" as well.
Is it maybe because of this change?

Code: Select all

 !    - The server now ignores client ping packets that don't make sense. [Torr Samaho]

The wiki is there for everybody to contribute to. If you find anything missing in there, please add it.

Can you reproduce this? Do you have a demo of this happening?

[De-M-oN]

Oh didnt know with the wiki. Ok I'll look then.

If it happens again I can send you a demo. Shouldnt be that hard to happen again, since it happens not seldom.

[-Jes-]

The zero ping thing has happened a few times recently in my BestEver servers. I'll try and see if I can root out when/where it happens.

[Inkubus]

So can this new database thing be used to save online games?
