Bug#806687: tecnoballz: Gigablitz jauge not reset when non-bottom bumper is hit

[Bruno Ethvignot]

hello Markus, hello Celelibi,

2015-11-30 06:19 UTC+01:00, Celelibi :

Not sure if this is a bug or if it is on purpose.
The gigablitz jauge is reset when the bottom bumper is hit by a ball. I
guess this is to prevent the player from easily clearing the level with
2 gigablitz by blocking the ball vertically.
However, the jauge is not reset when the ball hit any other bumper.


This is normal and expected behavior. The gigablitz gauge is reset
*only* when the ball hits the bottom bumper.

Best regards,

Bug#776262: tecnoballz: Bouncer position restricted in boss levels

It looks like in the boss levels the position of the bouncer cannot
reach the side walls allowing the balls to fall without any way to catch
them.
The minimum distance from the bouncer to the wall looks like the size of
the corner relaunchers in the normal levels.
This may be on purpose. But in doubt, I sumbit this bug. :)



Hi again,
beats me. Bruno, is this an intended feature or a bug?


This is a bug not a feature. :-)

This patch fixes Bug #776262.

Hello and thanks for your reports,
I'm CCing Bruno because he is the upstream developer for tecnoballz and
might be interested in your bug reports too. I'm replying to all of them
separately.
@bug 776263
I can confirm that repeatedly right-clicking sometimes triggers game
over instead of just losing a life when the player misses the ball.
However this behaviour is rather random. It doesn't always have to be
the last ball.

FWIW: this bug can be reliably triggered by holding the right click
pressed and losing the last ball. I cannot reproduce the bug when it's
not the last ball that is lost.


I was able to reproduce the bug. I confirm.

Do you believe that setting joy_right = 1 and joy_left = 1 in
display_sdl.c can result in the described behaviour? Can you confirm
that this might be a problem for some players?


Indeed! You're right! (Previously, I had only tested the analog stick.)

Bug#411934: Misbehaves on PowerPC

[Bruno Ethvignot]

Wouter Verhelst a écrit :

The first and the final stage of each level are okay; but the second
stage no longer works the way it should (it used to work about two years
ago, but I haven't been playing the game since quite a while, and just
now I discovered that it's broken).

Hi,

This regression bug was introduced in the 0.80 release.

This version of Powermanga have a PowerPC big-endian bug in the
reading of the files levels.

This bug was fixed in CVS:

Thank you for this bug report.

Bug#406234: Double free

[Bruno Ethvignot]

Ariel a écrit :
This bug is not so easy to debug if you have to win the game to trigger 
it! Otherwise I'd compile a debug version, and try it. (Is there a cheat 
mode?)


Hi Ariel,

Yes a debug/cheat mode exists!

DEVELOPPEMENT2 must be defined in the etbfonte1.cpp file.

During the game you can then press [Ctrl] + [P] simultaneously.
You can so select an option in the cheat menu :-)

It may however be best to grab the latest development version:
http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=20416

Thank you for this bug report.
