Hey... what am I supposed to do when I get a bug?

I know to fill in the error report and all. I get that part.

But I can't easily leave the game without saving it. If I get a bug, should I force-quit without saving? Are subsequent reloads suspect once I've hit a bug and have saved? Or should totally leaving the engine clear it?

I have a command like this to run T4 when I am in the root of the T4 directory:

Code: Select all

./bin/Debug/t-engine > stdout 2>stderr
Which gives me output in stdout. When you crash you can post that. Needless to say stdout is overwritten each time you launch T4.

The other option is to use gdb and when you get a crash use backtrace or info stack and post that output.
Regards

Jon.
