[Rails-users] 2.0RC1 cannot lay tile

[games.bazin <gam...@or...>]

Hello all

 

I found what looks like a strange bug in 2.0RC1 - took place in 1856 but doesn't seem 1856 related. Please see attached save file.

GW should be able to lay a green tile #24 in E16 going from it's starting position to CA's starting position, and is not allowed to do so by the game.

More precisely, 2.0RC1 allows #24 in E16 with orientation NW (which is normal) but forbids the opposit orientation, which is not normal.

Re: [Rails-users] 2.0RC1 cannot lay tile + mapcorrection issue with reload

[games.bazin <gam...@or...>]

 

 

Hello all

 

Some more bug reports following this issue.

 

1) bug with map correction

from the situation in 1856_20151031_1804_GW-E16toCA.rail, you can use map correction to continue the game as it should by laying #24 in E16 with orientation SE.

File 1856_20151101_aftermapcorrection.rails is a save after GW finishes its turn and next company starts to play.

However, 2.0RC1 cannot load from that moment : loading 1856_20151101_aftermapcorrection.rails or any later save file results in an "interrupted load" just before the map correction.

 

2) In order to further play the game (and to further test), we have decided to check how the game behaves on 1.9.0

However, file 1856_20151031_1804_GW-E16toCA.rail (legit 2.0RC1 file before map correction) could not be loaded on 1.9.0.   Maybe that's normal and files are not backward compatible ?

 

So, we have restarted the game from scratch in 1.9.0

The resulting 1.9.0 file is attached as 1856_20151101_1019_GWbug.rails

Result : 

- from that postion, 1.9.0 allows to lay #24 in E16 with orientation SE (normal behaviour)

- the file 1856_20151101_1019_GWbug.rails can be reloaded in 2.0RC1, and from that same position, 2.0RC1 forbids to lay #24 in E16 with orientation SE

Re: [Rails-users] 2.0RC1 cannot lay tile + mapcorrection issue with reload

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

Eric:

Thanks for your further investigation. This is great help.

Most likely the issue for loading is related to the other bug/anomaly 
you reported earlier, which I have fixed in rails_2_maintenance already.

However I still have to check that.

I will built a release candidate 2 soon, however I have troubles with my 
internet access from home, so I have to postpone the up-loading.

Stefan

And to avoid annoying the subscribers to Rails-user:
Could you please further report bugs on Rails-devel instead of 
Rails-users. Rails-users is not intended for (frequent and detailed) bug 
reporting.

Re: [Rails-users] 2.0RC1 cannot lay tile

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

Eric:
thanks for catching this bug.

1856 is semi-restrictive for tile lays, thus there is a check involved 
if any of the new track segments is reachable from any station marker 
for the company laying the tile.

Due to some reason only one of the two tokens for GW is considered. And 
interestingly if one tries to make the same tile lay for LPS only the 
reversed orientations are allowed.

This indicates that the current check somehow only uses one of the 
tokens and not all of the tokens, which might help to find the true reason.

I hope I will get some time tomorrow to look into that.

Stefan
