When's Melty on Steam?
ahaha that's no--wait, what?

You got 'em, post 'em here. I want to hear all of them, no matter how minor they are.
For the record, I know about the port access bug, and I also know about the standby error warnings. The Vista stuff is going to take someone to contact me on IRC rather than the forums to fix, so tell me where/when you are and get your butt over to one of them. Other stuff I've either forgotten or haven't been notified of.
I think the oddest one is that searching for my mbcaster on google comes up with a corrupted page result, but the page itself is fine. No signs of tampering. Puzzling.

I've noticed that mbcaster always displays the recommended delay instead of the inputted delay to Player 2 before starting up MBAC.

I believe Player 1 sets the delay.

Indeed they do! But that's not what your opponent would see unless you use the recommended delay.

mbcaster displays the recommended delay to Player 2.

I just wanted to praise mauve for putting this effort in helping people. You don't often find guys like him. :)

mbcaster displays the recommended delay to Player 2.
Both players would see the recommended delay. Player 1's input wouldn't be shown to player 2 because there's little point in doing so. If you want to know what he placed for delay, question him through AIM or whatever. Unless your opponent is purposefully trying to mess around with you, he would input the recommended delay instead of any other funky number. :V
Then again, mauve can simply add a line of code or two that displays the inputted delay to Player 2 if it pleases you.
-
I have checked the code. It is not possible for the wrong delay to be printed to player 2. This is not to be argued - the value that is sent is not even written to until after the delay has been chosen. Now, the feasable problem might be that it's not actually reading the delay value that you give it. That would be an issue.
And I just checked, guess what, it isn't reading the value you set. Grand. I know what the problem is, it's a stupid compiler quirk(thanks Borland), it'll be fixed next version.
-
Your compiler is messing around with you? :V

Make sure you have the MBAC DVD in your drive. This is not caster related, actually.

my problem (Im sure you seen, but posting here because Its the right topic)
-
I like how you can post to nag about that but can't be bothered to come onto IRC and help fix this interactively, even when I give helpful links in the other thread for that problem.
I am not solving this over the message board, that problem is deceptively complicated.

im sorry...? I never got a message to say "oh hey Mallard, come to the IRC so I can come and try to fix your problem"
I didn't know anything about IRC or if you are there to help others with bugs, its not even on the 1st post of the topic.
-
So I need to get off my ass and do another release sometime fairly soon.
If you know of any problems with the current revision, say so, because things don't get fixed if you don't fucking tell me. I don't actually play Melty, so I don't give MBCaster a lot of use, therefore I don't really know what's wrong with it unless I'm notified.
Going in are the Caster startup freeze fix and the name fix right now. I know of the "MBAC crashes inside Caster" problem and what does it but I have no way of fixing it short of a very hefty rewrite of the program which is not happening. I don't know what's causing keyboard input to cut out randomly, or I'd fix it.(I'm a keyboard user, but it never happens to me. Go figure.) Anything else is fair game.
-
The only bug I know about that hasn't been mentioned is that sometimes while using the observe function to watch another match, after the (first? maybe not necessarily) match finishes the game goes into some sort of loop and shows the same char select/match all over again. (Small note: if p1 used random stage select the stage is repicked randomly between the same battles).
The only help I can really give you is that I know at least once when this happened the two players were still playing while I was in this infinite observe loop, and on that occasion the problem persisted when I tried reconnecting. This has only happened to me 2 or 3 times.
-
That loop is desync related. Technically, they haven't actually left that set, they're still doing "Once Again," but it looks like they've finished on your side. Caster gets back to the character select menu and goes "Hmm, they're still playing this match, guess I'd better go start it again."
So yeah, unfixable.
-
After going through my replays recently I noticed that the short form notations of Warachia and Warcueid are both "War".
Wra or Wal would probably do for Warachia, I couldn't find any list with short form notations besides in the thread with the 2 letter ones.
-
Oops. Yeah I'll fix that. I'll use the 'Wra' one since it's completely non-ambiguous.
-
i think this is a bug: when the other player presses input delay '7', it comes out as '2' instead. At first I thought the other guy was being retarded because it kept on happening over and over, but it happened again while playing against another person. But when I get to select the input delay, it works just fine.
-
He probably needs to update then, 'cause I fixed that bug in the last release.
