0.0.27 client crashes on startup

Post by igneus »

I just built client version 0.0.27 from source. A small problem occured during compilation - compiler stopped at gui/updatewindow.cpp shouting that function SDL_GetError is used without previous declaration in utils/mutex.h . I added line
#include <SDL_error.h>
to mutex.h, compiler was satisfied and cca 30 minutes later finished compilation of new TMW client happily.

Unfortunatelly client crashes right at the start with following output:

tmw: resources/imageloader.cpp:68: virtual gcn::Color ProxyImage::getPixel(int, int): Assertion `mSDLImage' failed.
Unsuccessfully terminated. (SIGABRT)

Here is log (sorry, my web client Dillo doesn't seem to support html element used to attach files, so I paste content of the file directly.)

My question is? Is this a known case? Is it problem of my hardware or libraries?

Someone else reported that on IRC not too long ago. It was with a different image, but we never figured it out. Try the latest git instead.

Sorry for not responding - it takes a long time, because I had to build git and now I'm building tools needed to be able to create configure script (autotools on my system are a bit out of date...). I'll tell you later if I succeeded or not.

Finally I'm compiling the latest git version of tmw client. Btw. the SDL_GetError problem in utils/mutex.h (when compiling gui/updatewindow.cpp) is still there!

Latest git client crashes in the same way:

(Yes, I accidentally got client 0.1 instead of 0.0, but doesn't matter - it doesn't work and crashes in the same way!)

Latest 0.0 client got from git crashes in the same way.
I compiled it with option -g in CPPFLAGS, so I'll play with gdb a bit and tell you if I find anything interesting :)

Try toggling OpenGL.

I tried to switch OpenGL off in my configuration file:

~/.tmw/config.xml:

<config>
<option name="opengl" value="0" />
</config>

In log I found following message:

[09:17:39.65] Initializing configuration...
[09:17:39.67] Warning: No configuration file (/home/igneus/.tmw/config.xml)

After some experimenting I found out that config is found, but probably can't be parsed. Because page about config on the wiki is a bit sparse (lists all options, but doesn't describe how to write the file - at least notice should be added, that root element is called "configuration" and option looks like <option name="xxx" value="yyy" />), I looked at configuration.cpp and found that root element is called "configuration" and not "config". I ran TMW again, warning disappeared, but crash remains. Should I try to recompile without OpenGL support?

you have no need to open manual the config.xml since there is the "setup" button visible as client start

just push it put openGL then restart client

Sorry, crazy, but I can't. I'm trying to resolve problem with client which doesn't start - it crashes long, long ago before any setup window starts to be useful... (You might want to read previous posts.)

That's new in 0.0.27.

I haven't solved this problem yet, but here's an interesting objection:
When I delete the file reported to be loaded before the crash (in 0.0.28 it's hits_red.png), client still logs that it has been loaded.
So it could mean that there is something strange in PHYSFS_read()
(called in resources/resourcemanager.cpp, line 418 - it should load data of the file - in this case image - into a buffer).
I have PhysFS 1.1.0 (at least my physfs.h says that)

I think I'm on a track of that bug. While working on ParticlEd, I discovered that it only occurs when something's being loaded by Guichan:
Particles etc., when created, ask ResourceManager to load an image for them abd everything is OK.
But when I create e.g. ImageFont, it uses another mechanism to load images, ImageLoader. ImageFont is created, but first time it's used somewhere, assertion fails in Image::drawImage (probably when drawing the first glyph).

Btw. what's the relation between gcn::Image and class Image defined in resources/image.* ? Is TMW's class Image (and other) somehow 'injected' into Guichan? (I should probably be able to find the answer myself, but I'm not.)
