2.6 nightly/alpha discussion

[DanMacK]

Here's an OllyDB Screenshot. Hopefully this has the encessary info. This was done with no newgrf except ttdpbasew and the latest NARS.

09/07 - **EDITED SCREENSHOT**

[DaleStan]

That should be fixed in r1727.

[DanMacK]

Awesome, thanks DaleStan. It was driving me nuts

I'm having a problem with TTDP. Basically, the terminal window comes up as usual, and asks me if I'm sure I want to start TTDP. I hit y, and it begins to load. Next, the main game window comes up, but it's black. nothingness. I've left it for ten minutes, and it doesn't do a thing.

Any ideas?

[Dave]

If you have a custom version dxmci.dll, remove it and try then.

[BobDendry]

I do not.

[Dave]

I do not.

Ignore me then.

[BobDendry]

Hmm, I'll try starting over with my installation.

Because there is a problem and you should look in the problem section where you will find that what you are looking for is already being looked at here

That crashlog is not entirely useless, but we really need the one that TTDPatch generated; it'll be called CRASH###.txt. If TTDPatch doesn't write one, see my signature.

(And can anyone make sense of that instruction? I can turn it into either movb [0], [edi+4] or movb 0, [edi+4], neither of which are even encodable.)

[Dropzone]

It looks like it's in AT&T syntax (i.e. the operands are backwards), which would make it "mov byte [edi+4], 0" in normal syntax.

This is why I like the TTDPatch logs. They don't attempt to disassemble, so you don't have to wonder which syntax "C6 47 04 00" is using. Plus, that byte-stream dump is a lot less ambiguous than disassembly, as there are no fewer than ten other byte-sequences that would disassemble to the same instruction.

Fortunately, that instruction appears only three times, and it wasn't too hard to guess which one I broke, so you got lucky this time. r1830 should fix it. I still can't reproduce the crash; as far as my machine is concerned, I just removed a couple weird characters from the display.

hi,

as previously written in Problems with TTDPatch the newest nightly >=r1829 doesn't work anymore on my XP x64. It crashes at start after the inro (audio ist still plaiyng).
Restored nightly r1828 still works!

newgrfw.cfg has only 1 entry
TTDPBASEW.GRF

For more details look attached files.

That is not "more details". "More details" is the TTDPatch-generated crashlog, or, failing that, an OllyDbg screenshot, as detailed at the other end of the link in my signature.

[athanasios]

If it doesn't create a CRASH.TXT how can he post one?

Now some hints, cause as you can see mine crashed too:
Rename your existing configuration file and rerun. Damn, I don't have time to check which setting causes the trouble...
