Alpha Testing Underway!

*edit* The attachment system seems to be broken, it's downloading index.php files *edit*

The attachment links aren't actually to the file directly, but rather are to send a command to index.php to download the file.  Specifically, the links look like this:

Code: [Select]

path/to/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=##;attach=##
So if you were to right-click and choose "save link as", you'd just get "index.php".  I'd guess something like this is what was happening.

Code: newbielink:javascript:void(0); [nonactive]

Actually I'm getting the index.php file by left-clicking on it, like any other link.

Weird.  What are your OS and browser versions?

[dustarma]

Windows 7 x64 and Firefox 8.

*EDIT* It seems to work fine on Google Chrome 15 *EDIT*

[Paul]

I did a little googling.. this seems to be a known bug in Firefox 8 with SMF 2.0 and some other php-based programs.  I'd guess it will be fixed fairly quickly, since a fairly significant percentage of the web is using SMF.  Until then, there seems to be a mod that can be applied to SMF to fix the issue, so I'll look into that later (the link I found to it was broken).

then should i use google chrome or internet explorer 9 ??

[Mats]

new official build ?

[Vincentmrl]

then should i use google chrome or internet explorer 9 ??

NEVER USE INTERNET EXPLORER, it's the 1st browser giving you a lot viruses, also it's slow, i vote for chrome (or get safari)

OoO i thongt that it was the most secure browser

[xperia64]

ie is the worst browser out there. If you want a lot of addons get firefox, if you want a rlly fast browser get chrome

[TFreestone]

yea just get chrome. it has a decent number of extensions and lots of cool built in google stuff.

One thing i would like to see is accelerometer controls. For games like f-zero x

The input-sdl plug-in recognizes "Android accelerometer" as a joystick, but it would need a profile added to InputAutoCfg.ini.  It has 3 axes (x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis) and no buttons.  It records the affect of gravity (so lying screen-up on a level surface would record analog input in the -z direction, tilted on its right side would record analog input in the +x direction, etc.).

Anyway, to get it working in the emulator, you'd just have to add a profile for it to InputAutoCfg.ini.  If you're interested in working on that yourself, I can provide you a simple app that prints the accelerometer values to logcat, which you can use to determine the values to use for AnalogDeadzone and AnalogPeak (will require a bit of trial and error to get it right).  If you can figure out a profile that works well, I'll add it later (after I make the plug-in configurable through the GUI, so it doesn't always use the accelerometer as a joystick every time).

I don't think i'm committed or patient enough for that.. and i don't want you to go through the trouble of giving me all the tools if I'm never really going to use them.

Hey I retested the new core and it actually loads.  Crashes though... here's the logcat

That's interesting.  I build a version thats a bit more verbose, to rule out a couple of potential problems and see how far it gets into the code.  Could you post the logcat after loading this one? (will need execute permission set again, since ZIP doesn't seem to save that):

Core w/ RDRAM at Native Address, verbose

I know I'm on a bit of a tangent with this, but I'm still a bit burned out with the GUI (I'll get back to finishing it up soon).

[xperia64]

Here:

[Paul]

Yep, there's the problem:

Code: [Select]

V/core    ( 2542): rdram=-1006632960
Now I just have to figure out where it came up with that number (0xc4000000 in hex)..
