Testers needed

General Discussion
1

I’d appreciate if some people could test the latest snapshot releases and see if there are any bugs that aren’t fixed yet or if any new bugs appeared.

2

Yeah sure however my Internet is shaped so next week sometime, by the way hoe do you get a snapshot build.

3

I don’t think my portal culling fixes got in there, but I can understand if you are trying to find a stable build, perhaps one with a .1 at the end? :slight_smile:
It’s here if you want it: http://drop.io/7kooem7

Snapshot builds are here:
panda3d.org/buildbot/

teedee: thanks for reminding me. I’ve just committed them to CVS.

(this topic should be pinned)

I don’t think you need info about “known issues” that might be fixed in 1.8 or 2.0?

Bugs:

1. The problem with the cartoon shader sample hasn’t been fixed:

11tvmfc.jpg700×510

I think something was wrong with the egg file (replace it with the one from 1.6.2).

2. Fireflies sample has gone wrong since 1.7.0

3. Don’t see shadows in Tut-Shadow-Mapping-Advanced and Tut-Shadow-Mapping-NoShader

4. The p3d files aren’t included yet.

5. Packpanda is gone, although the new tools arent completely finished. Is this intentional?

6. Curves not working correctly: panda3d.org/forums/viewtopic … &start=450
(bottom of page)

Known issues that might be fixed in 1.8, 2.0, as I have been told:

1. This: panda3d.org/forums/viewtopic … highlight=
Alse encountered in these topics:
panda3d.org/forums/viewtopic … highlight=
panda3d.org/forums/viewtopic … highlight=

2. Fog not supported by the shader generator

Less important:

1. Has the openAL been updated? I never know when it will crash.

2. Some samples use outdated screenshots, some don’t have one.

Even less important:

1. The texture_swapping sample has a “Thumbs” file in the “shadow” folder, lol

Not sure if these are an issue:

1. Glow filter basic and anvanced both work but the colors are different. Have no idea why.

2. panda3d.org/forums/viewtopic … highlight=
If I understand LightRampAttrib.makeDoubleThreshold correctly

This is all I could remember.

EDIT: Is this topic going to replace " List of known bugs in 1.7.0" ?

The following code doesn’t print anything on Mac when you press lcontrol (it also happens with other keys, but it should be the same reason):

def foo(): print( 'lcontrol pressed' )
import direct.directbase.DirectStart
base.accept( 'lcontrol', foo )
run()

Well there is a packpanda.exe in Panda3D-2010.10.11-163 but i miss the pack3d file…

now in Panda3D-2010.10.18-170 there is a packp3d.p3d but not the exe :blush: .

Using 2010.10.20-172, the installers packpanda creates do not work correctly. After you install your program the “Start game” check box does not work. If you try to run the program from the start menu you get an error that it can’t find “ppython.exe” (yes, thats two “p’s”)

1.7.1 on the horizon?

12

The Ubuntu Maverick 64bit snapshot packages seem to not contain ODE.

13

DummyAppRunner still don’t work. This will be a valuable class to test web applications before publish.
Get’ing the hook … there will be a new plugin version? Sometimes plugin crash the browser under windows (FF/IE).
Cheers

I’ve never had a problem with DummyAppRunner. In what way does it not work for you?

If you install the IE plugin from Toontown or Pirates Online, it is a more recent version that might be a bit more stable.

Or grab the buildbot runtime release.

16

i’ll grab the latests buildbots and test again. Maybe this can be the problem.

Thanx a lot
