Summary0000896: Problem with debriefings while running icculus
DescriptionSummary: debriefings display in retail Windows FS2 but not retail icculus FS2.

kv1at3485 has been beta-testing ST:R for me and he's running the icculus build. He seems to be having a problem where the debriefing doesn't display for certain mission outcomes. I have no idea what the problem is; I tested it in retail FS2 on Windows and it works fine; and I even rewrote the sexps and reuploaded the mission to no avail. If you could take a look at this, taylor, I'd appreciate it. :)
Additional InformationI'll email you the stuff you need to reproduce it.

Updated to 3.0.3 and it still worked perfectly for me. Don't know what else to try without more info from kv1at3485.

* BUMP *

Any additional info here? Still can't reproduce any sort of problem.

I haven't heard from kv1at3485 since I PMmed him. :( I'll see if I can dig up his email.

Okay, kv1at3485 PMmed me saying he already PMmed you but didn't receive a response. Here's what he had to say:

I've peeked into the mission file with a text editor (didn't modified it) and confirmed that the debriefing text and SEXPs are all there. (FRED says the same thing too.)

In the debriefing screen, the text pane is empty. Pressing the 'recommendations' button merely brings up the standard "We have no recommentations for you" in the normal red text.

Hmm, I thought that I replied. Got busy with all of the envmap work though (throught PMs) so I may have just forgotten to actually respond to him.

Anyway, the PM didn't tell me which build of freespace2 he was using. I did remember that there was a bug where the debriefing text would get free'd at one point so when you got done with a mission it would present you with a empty debrief screen. This was a bug introduced as part of a memory leak fix. That was all a long time ago though, but several of the binary releases were from that time. It was also something that affected every mission.

That was supposed to be PMed back, and is being PMed now, but I want to include it here just in case.

He made a CVS build and the debriefings appear to be working fine now. I'm guessing that it was just that old icculus.org bug (fixed in late 2004) and the binary versions were never updated by their prospective builders. I'm going to one-point-oh that sucker before long so hopefully that will be the end of that and everyone will have a better reason to freshen all of the builds up.

Closered.
