Head2Head play

EDIT: sorry, the assert is fixed, but not in the binaries. So... forget about this

[planetmaker]

Seems like there are more asserts ahead:

Code: Select all

openttd: src/station_cmd.cpp:514: void GetAcceptanceAroundTiles(uint*, TileIndex, int, int, int): Assertion `_head_to_head == 0' failed.

I've been digging for the desyncs a little bit and seem to have managed to narrow them down to town growth -- namely, the server tends to decide to grow a town long before the clients do, for some reason (about 200-ish net frames of difference have been observed).

I've put up a bunch of pastes of diffs from server and client logs with desync-debugging enabled, and they are:
http://pastebin.com/m3c9391b2
http://pastebin.com/m2d8193e6
http://pastebin.com/md100b0f
and
http://paste.openttd.org/181334
[Edit: I can also make most of the original files available, on request]

Note the pastes in question also feature extra debugging of the TownTickHandler, specifically the grow counter defined in there.

I've recommended to Ammler to turn off town growth (by setting town_growth_rate to 0), and this seems to have succeeded in killing the desyncs for now (run for over an hour so far with no desyncs).

Thanks a lot for the hard work narc, with this information fixing it will be a lot easier.

Thanks, the assert was wrong, fixed now.

That was exactly what I needed to know, with this information fixing the bug was only a matter of a few minutes. Thanks a lot.

Hi,

I've got a feature request for this patch:
- town and industry directories should get a switch which allows to show only those which are in your own territory as for most purposes (as I use them at least) a list of things which is cluttered with inaccessible items is not desired. It doesn't mean though, that the possibility to see all should be removed.

- (not my idea, but to note it down in this thread, as proposed yesterday in IRC by tneo(?)): Jump to the map of the company you joined upon connect. I'm not sure about what to do, if a person changes the company.

Regards & two thumbs up,
pm

Hello,

I'm very Sorry for bumping this thread, but I have a important question!
In this hg-Repository the Branch has been updated two weeks ago, but on openttd.org/en/download-head-to-head there is a version of April. Will there ever an newer H2H-Nightly available?

Just made an update to r18920 and new binaries are also available.

That is still on my todo list, but at this moment the whole h2h project is pretty low on that list.

It's a good idea, but see above

Will there be a game soon on #coopetition?

I'm not aware that anyone is organizing a game. If you want to, go ahead.

Cool! Thanks
