Some bug reporting tips:
- Post each new bug report in a separate thread each.
- Tell us which RC version you are using.
- If this is a new bug, what was the latest version you used where the behavior was correct?
- Explain clearly the steps to reproduce the bug.
- If a CNS bug, post the minimum code needed to repro the issue if possible.
- It helps if you also give a link to the character, stage, etc that exhibits the issue.

If you reported a bug that is not in the list below, and is not addressed, please remind us (with a link to the report) by posting a reply to this thread.

- A hitdef that doesn't use a throw attribute and sends multiple enemies into custom states causes mugen to crash.
  http://elecbyte.com/forum/index.php?topic=458.msg4118#msg4118

I checked his character and the most likely cause of this was the Destroyself in the state without using RemoveExplod first for the hitspark created by the helper at the same time. Don't know if it happened since I told him that, so better ask Hadoabuser about it personally.

    * Keyboard: Fixed bug where keyboard presses/releases are sometimes lost when other keys are pressed at the same time.

The hardware limitations of keyboard (certain combination of three or more keys cannot be pressed at the same time) still apply right? Is it possible to get rid of that? Conflicting buttons are a big problem for player vs player fights.

I don't see this one on the list :

yeah, it's very simple for software to modify the hardware , I am pretty sure they will implement that in rc7.

j/k

the online documentiation of the new trigger (renamed ifelse) has an error in which the example still uses ifelse.

[Seravy]

...I'd say the thing that ignores keys pressed might be the driver of the keyboard or even the operating system, not the hardware itself, but I'm not sure. That's why I asked... If it's the driver, or the OS, it can be done. Yeah it's probably not easy but your character not attacking because your opponent pressed more buttons than you did is more that just an annoyance. It's something that loses you a match most of the time. By the way, is there a support for multiple keyboards planned? That would also eliminate the problem.

[Lasombra Demon]

Easier solution: use a joystick when playing vs.

It's near the bottom on the list.  Thanks for the report, we'll check it out when we can.

About the simultaneous keys issue, it's most likely a hardware limitation as a result of cost-saving manufacturing.  Higher-end gaming keyboards are designed to better detect simultaneous keypresses, many claiming 6, but I've seen some that tout 11.  I don't use one personally so I can't make any recommendations.

[Juano16]

i have problems with some musics, some not sound, and other sound fast, the game crashes 1 time for that, but i think that are solved in the "+ alpha" revisions, i havent that problems in the prev "RC5 EX + alpha", then im gonna wait the "RC6 EX + alpha"

This doesn't look like a mugen problem. LargeSamus.def is loading a cmd file that does not have a command named "start" (they renamed it "s" but they still use the old name and the new name). You can either use LargeSamus/AI.def (this leaves the character stuck in AI) or find this in LargeSamus.cmd

Code: [Select]

[Command]
name = "s"
command = s
time = 1

change it to name = "start"
likewise with "command = "s"" in LargeSamus.st. But really you shouldn't do this and just complain to whoever made it, there are probably lots of other coding mistakes in there too.

Hello. All my characters are debug spamming with the RC6, always in the animelem that hits. It´s something like this:

Warning: player Blade (56) in state 210: 100: no      <= no what?

Thanks

Giving a link to your chars/code will make your feedback much more useful.

Still happened, tho it didn't seem to happen as often. Would that mean something .

I'm probably blind to something here, but I can't increase the number of character slots in the select screen.  I added more columns, more rows, changed the icon size to less than half so I don't have a mess on the screen... nothing changes.

Probably should have posted separately from this particular thread.  Sorry...


EDIT: Dealt with.  Silly me, it's the mugen1 folder's files, not the front ones.

[Josue]

Thanks a lot for everything you're doing...
BTW no RC6+alpha version?

- [1.0 RC5] SndPlay freqmul parameter has no effect.

- [1.0 RC5] SndPlay volume parameter's effect caps at a maximum of 100.

- [1.0 RC5] SndPlay loop doesn't work.

Just hope to see this bunch of bugs fixed soon...
besides of afterimages being the same color of the original palette when changed with RemapPal and using SFFv1.

Not sure if this is a bug, but I've been thinking: What's the difference between

Code: [Select]

[State 212, 3]
type = VelSet
trigger1 = Time = 0
x = HitVel X
y = HitVel Y
and

Code: [Select]

[State 212, 3]
type = HitVelSet
trigger1 = Time = 0
x = 1
y = 1
Shouldn't it be the same? If I change HitVelSet for VelSet in my custom state my poor foe flies like a rocket Please explain the strange misbehaviour! And why does it say in docs that hitvelset is deprecated if they're still being used in the common1.cns?

And there's a little something I wish you added:
a way to detect the Game Difficulty without having to (unsafely) check

Code: [Select]

enemynear, AIlevelsince AIlevel will change with AI ramp and stuff like that.
Before you came back from death, we used Winane's AI system, now you simply solved it by adding something as simple as AIlevel. However, what if I want to check the current Game Difficulty while my char is being used by a non AI player (I.E. you, me? mee) so you could simply add a GameDifficulty trigger to be checked instead!

Something else I've been wondering: can you give extensive explanations about hardcoded stuff in Docs?
Sorry if I bother...

Hey! I also got the same debug spam! it didn't seem to have a reason to appear, I fixed it by changing my char's version to MugenVersion=1.0
