Here I am, brace yourself !

On my usual XP SP3 I use everyday for develop/internet/music etc (let's call this SYSTEM A):

134321 = init DirectX 7
134321 = init 3D hardware
134321 = init keyboard
134321 = init mouse

So the problem seems to be with init sound ?

1) Sounds work ok on SYSTEM A using other programs, but I never tried to make a sound using PB, I can try if you like... or if you want to give me a piece of code from your program to try/debug.

2) If I run your program from another Windows XP on the same PC (let's call this SYSTEM B, only a different partition/same hardware) and with the same audio driver (same version), I get this:

14:01:01 = init DirectX 7
14:01:01 = init 3D hardware
14:01:01 = init keyboard
14:01:01 = init mouse
14:01:01 = init sound
14:01:01 = load component: minizip
14:01:01 = load component: animsprite
14:01:01 = load component: imagefont
14:01:01 = load component: highscore
14:01:01 = load component: zip access
14:01:01 = load component: interface
14:01:01 = read settings
14:01:01 = open screen
14:01:01 = prepare resources
14:01:01 = load sounds
14:01:01 = load music
14:01:01 = load graphics

and then silently quits.

But wait, there is more.

If I try the release version of your program, the unpacked one:

on SYSTEM A keeps quitting

on system B WORKS!

I'm sure this will help you a lot, LOL !


ADDENDUM: I tried Microsoft's dxdiag on SYSTEM A:, it passed all the sound tests.


EDIT: wait a moment, in the first log, where are the ":" between the numbers ???

EDIT2: something really peculiar is happening here, now the debug version, on SYSTEM A, doesn't even create the log anymore, just quits.
I'll try to reboot to see if changes.
I don't know what to say, doesn't create the log anymore (?)

WTF is going on? :lol:

I'm totally confused now .. :x

I have updated the debug version a couple of times. Try now (.EXE only):

Works on SYSTEM B. Launched many times to be sure, tried a little, ok, works.

On SYSTEM A it doesn't write the log. Nothing. Quits.

1) Can you try to put a log write on the very first line of executed code ?

2) What kind of code is executed before the first log write, currently ?

3) Is this a exe generated by pb or is processed in some way ? I saw a "shrink" string inside, and the bulk of the code seem compacted. If this is the case could be something in the unpack code ?

It looks like a stray pointer problem or something similar.

I tried to run the exe and in the meantime I launched a virtual machine (read: allocated a lot of ram)

Keeping launching your exe while the vm was loading, at a certain point your exe wrote a log

15:30:13 = init DirectX 7
15:30:13 = init 3D hardware
15:30:13 = init keyboard
15:30:13 = init mouse

the next run, nothing.

I start closing the vm, and start running your exe repeatedly, at a certain point it wrote another log, the same as above.

The vm unloaded and your program stopped writing logs.

So, changing my memory load, your exe is loaded at different offset in memory, and maybe the stray pointer is affecting it in different ways, so the different behaviour.

Maybe I'm wrong, but it looks something of that kind to me (that, or my computer is possessed).

This is how I do it at the moment:

Code: Select all

#L2F_ENABLED = 1

Macro L2F_INIT (sFileName, flgAppend)
	CompilerIf Defined(L2F_ENABLED, #PB_Constant)
		_DebugToFile ("", sFileName, flgAppend)
	CompilerEndIf
EndMacro

Macro L2F (sText)
	CompilerIf Defined(L2F_ENABLED, #PB_Constant)
		_DebugToFile (sText)
	CompilerEndIf
EndMacro

CompilerIf Defined(L2F_ENABLED, #PB_Constant)
	Procedure _DebugToFile (sText.s, sFileName.s = "", flgAppend = #False)
		Static nFileNum
		Static sDebugFileName.s
		
		If IsFile(nFileNum) = 0
			sDebugFileName = GetPathPart(ProgramFilename())
			
			If Len(sFileName)
				sDebugFileName + sFileName
			Else
				sDebugFileName + "debug.log"
			EndIf
			
			If flgAppend
				nFileNum = OpenFile(#PB_Any, sDebugFileName)       
			  
				If nFileNum
					FileSeek(nFileNum, Lof(nFileNum))
				EndIf
			Else
				nFileNum = CreateFile(#PB_Any, sDebugFileName)
			EndIf
		EndIf
		
		If Len(sText)
			sText = FormatDate("%hh:%ii:%ss = ", Date()) + sText
		EndIf
		
		If IsFile(nFileNum)
			WriteString(nFileNum, sText + #CRLF$)
			FlushFileBuffers(nFileNum)
		EndIf
	EndProcedure
CompilerEndIf

EnableExplicit

If InitSprite()   = 0 : MessageRequester("Error","Failed to initialise graphics output.",16) : End : EndIf : L2F("init: graphics")
If InitSprite3D() = 0 : MessageRequester("Error","Failed to initialise 3D acceleration.",16) : End : EndIf : L2F("init: 3D acceleration")
If InitKeyboard() = 0 : MessageRequester("Error","Failed to initialise keyboard input.",16) : End : EndIf : L2F("init: keyboard")
If InitMouse()    = 0 : MessageRequester("Error","Failed to initialise mouse input.",16) : End : EndIf : L2F("init: mouse")
If InitSound()    = 0 : MessageRequester("Error","Failed to initialise sound output.",16) : End : EndIf : L2F("init: sound")

; rest of the code ....

Indeed. The program is packed and protected with various checks.

PS: updated debug version again, please redownload

Sorry, no changes: no start, no log.

Would be interesting to see if a version not packed works, but probably it's not feasible.

128MB? For the system or the GFX card?

Wow, looks rad :)

On my vista64 system there is no text on any of the buttons tho, so it's a little difficult to navigate.

cheers

Same problem here (Vista 32-bit), but when I change from windowed screen to full screen (and vice versa), the text is shown until the next time I run the game :? - you do that with the third checkbox in the Options.

But surely it's an excellent work Fluid Byte :o

Update v1.3
  • Fixed: "invisible font" bug on Vista
  • Fixed: time was not stoped/cached in "TimeMode" when the game loses focus

Still doesn't start on my "sensible system" A, but I guess it was expected, after our experiments.

Just to let you know.

Cheers.
