bullet bug list

Game Engine Game Engine Support and Discussion
#1

I was thinking, maybe we should keep a bullet bug list and then have one of us report them rather than a whole bunch of us reporting, plus we can have others check to see if it’s really a bug. What does everyone think?

Bugs so far:
radar sensor doesn’t work(armature character flies off screen)
ray sensor doesn’t work(never shows a positive for me, unless I’m doing something wrong)
message actuator gives 2 positives(haven’t checked this on this release, yet)
I’m not sure if this last one could be called a bug, but sensors are only activated by actors. So all walls in my game have to be made actors so I can sense them.

#2

Hi,

Yes it is good idea, and would be make this thread to Sticky!

please post the .blend files for checking for that is a realy bug.

and if it is the realy bug we can post to the bug tracer here

tL

#3

I can’t access your bug tracer link for some reason, but that’s a good idea about posting a blend with bugs so more than one person can verify. Probably we should have a blend for each bug posted. i’ll make some blends for the ones I supplied.

#4

I also think it’s a great idea… (including the posting of blends for checking) can then pass on the info without irratating the devopers as much!

#5

I’ve found a bug when using multiple maps… I have shader(materail) that uses 3 maps… eg. layer 1 stones, layer 2 normal map, layer 3 height map… It somehow unloads the maps on the lower layers… and I keep having to reload them.

#6

Unsure if this is a bug, but it sure messes a lot of things up…The spin for DRot (and maybe other rotation movements) has been reversed. So, if you turn left using DRot in Sumo, it’ll turn you right in Bullet.

#7

What a joke. I noticed that Drot was reversed when I tryed a FPS game in bullet. How does that even happen?

#8

good idea
look for this i think this kind of bug
You have to activate dynamic for collision run in bullet and you don’t have in sumo
this meen you have to meck all object dynamic

#9

samas: You don’t have to make it dynamic, but it does have to be an actor. At least that’s what I’ve found. I think it should be reported because it’s a lot of work to make scenery objects actors just to get the collision sensor to work, unless they did it for engine speed or something.

#10

i honestly think we should expand the topic. talking about all bugs for blender. and solutions we find.

#11

Then people would just say to put them in the bug tracker, Plus Erwin sometimes reads topics like this.

#12

Please use the bug tracker, but check for duplicate issues.

I will setup some page that makes it easier to find known issues:

http://www.continuousphysics.com/mediawiki-1.5.8/index.php?title=Known_Bullet_GameBlender_Bugs

Sumo will be deprecated/removed in the future, so please focus on Bullet.

Can we all help to close the very old issues in the bug tracker that are fixed/not relevant?

http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?atid=306&group_id=9&func=browse

Thanks,
Erwin

#13

I think we should have a sticky for the bugtracker. I didn’t even know about it until this thread. Where do stickies come from anyway? I know we shouldn’t have too many, but the bugtracker should be one of them.

#14

Stickies come from staff members.

#15

That bugtracker looks like a “dark closet” to me. I mean there is still stuff from 2004 in there.

Anyway, I think I found another bug.

Adding linv to an object on the y axis, seems to override the effects of gravity.

So if you had an object to move off a plane by applying linv, it wouldnt start falling until you let go of the “forward” key.

#16

We need your help to clean up this closet :slight_smile:
Really, once the bug tracker is up to date, it’s the best way to keep track of bugs. Forum postings are not a good way to organize it.

I hope someone of you can help with this task.

#17

All I can do is add new bugs. (Right?)

I don’t know weather or not all those issues from 2004/5/6 have been solved, so there is no way for me to tell what is or isn’t supposed to be there.

How exactly can I help to “clean up the closet”?

#18

to know if they’ve been solved goto release logs for the blender version

#19

You could visit the bug tracker, and try to find bugs that are already fixed, and mail the #bugnumber with a description that it has been fixed to bugs at erwincoumans.

We need to get rid of the 2 year old bugs, from a period that no-one fixed them :wink:

Don’t you think you should just drop everything before 2006? The whole thing looks pretty depressing to me since no one was even assigned to fixing these bugs except for a few. Why should we bother posting them? Also, is there a place to upload a blend file? A small blend file should be included which displays the bug. Anyway, to be honest, I’d have to see more than 10 assignments in the last 2 years to actually bother posting something.

Edit: I guess the second page with more recent posts looks better. I think it’s time to delete the first page so people don’t get the wrong idea.
