[0.9.8] Need info on debugging so I can bug

Post by lagsalot »

1) As this is my first post, I want to throw out a big fat SCREW YOU GUYS for this game... Screw ya, because I have lost at least 120 hours of real life productivity since I got turned on to this magical work of wonder about 10 days ago.

2) Last two games, when I get around 20-30 hours in, I'm getting freeze ups (have to force quit/kill -9). I'm on a mac, so I'm wondering if, A) there is a log that might have some info or, B) what I might try to track down the problem, or C), what relevant data/files I should provide in a bug report.

You can start it from console. Sometimes it prints something. As I'm currently using iPad, from my memory: go into the application folder, the binary is I think in /MacOS or so. Self-explaining.

Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.

Apart from occasional print to console there is no logging. We didn't get around to it yet. You can try posting a save as close to the freeze as possible. Kovarex has magic bug finding skills :)
I have no idea what I'm talking about.

The best you can do now is to provide the savegame, it is enough to find out the cause quite easily usually.
I'm moving this to pending until we got the save, as we can't solve it just from the description.

P.S. I'm happy that you was hooked up :)
