[glob2-devel] Bugs in the cvs?

[Bradley Arsenault]

Just to let you know, I finally got the CVS to work, and have put my
AI into it. I've added my ai into all of the different translations,
although I wasn'table to convert it to russion or slovacian script, it
worked for all the latin scripts. One thing I'm noticing on the CVS is
that there are lots of bugs. And not underlieing hidden bugs, but big
obtrusive bugs, and when I mentioned them to andrew, he sounded quite
surprised. I downloaded a standard cvs version, litterally using the
following command:

First of all, the resource images are screwing up. The wheat often
turns up as algae. It only uses the algae image when the wheat is 5/5,
and only half the time. the rest of the time its using the image that
would normally be used on wheat 1/5. Its also using this algae
pictures on the stone, however not on wood. As well, the stone seems
to be growing like the wheat normally does, except not growing
outwards, just how when a wheat goes from 4/5 to 5/5 full, or 5/5 back
to 4/5... Thats what the stone is doing. As well, the wood is using
the fraction system (which is unexpected), normally you take one
section of wood you get one piece of wood. And there are *no* 5/5 wood
pieces. Wood doesn't seem to be spreading either.

Next up: dumb globs. The globs in the cvs version are dumb. Even
though they have a targett (as given by T), they're still wandering
around in circles leisurely, as if they had nothing to do. Onething of
particular interest is that in a group of 3, the three globs seem to
be going in a triangle, as if worshipping some invisible god in the
center. The globs seem to have no trouble going to schools or other
trainning sights, but they just can't seem to collect wheat. Once they
get a piece of wheat, however, they will go straight to the
destination inn or swarm. And they seem to be able to feed themselves
too, just not keep the inns full. However, every so often a glob will
manage to get a piece of wheat into the building. It seems like that
only happens when it was just assigned to that inn, and after it puts
in its one piece, it just goes around in circles not doing anymore.

One last thing, the fruit trees are growing! Spreading, and infact
fairly quickly because they can get to 4/4 fruit fairly fast. My
village can be taken over by fruit trees in under a minute.

Did I grab the wrong CVS version or something? If not, how can any
other developer test under these conditions?
