[b37] Occasional Freezing

Occasionally (most recently when I pressed a movement key to cancel resting) the game freezes, and will not accept any input. I play in windowed mode, and an easy workaround for this is to "quit" from the T-Engine menu, then confirm. This will save and dump you back at the main menu, where you can reload with no lost progress.

Mac OS X 10.6.8, many addons installed, cheat mode active.

I've had this happen a few times as well. It only seems to occur for me when cheat mode is enabled, and maybe while running/autoexploring/resting. Interestingly, if I click around the screen a bunch after it freezes, the donation webpage opens up.

Maybe darkgod can pull something useful out of this.
[15:11] edge2054 tiger_eye, I've actually been trying to track down that lock up bug
[15:11] edge2054 Before I started running under gdb it would happen consistently.
[15:12] edge2054 Like at character generation or with in half an hour tops. Now I've had the game running for the last five hours and nothing.
[15:12] tiger_eye edge2054, good luck; how consistent was it without gdb? could you trigger it on demand?
[15:12] edge2054 Not on demand.
[15:13] edge2054 But I certainly didn't expect to have to wait for it. I could try spamming new characters to see if it will lock up.
[15:13] tiger_eye would it happen upon bringing up a dialogue?
[15:15] tiger_eye running under gdb does change a bit how a program is one. The main thing is it changes the timing of things, so if there are multiple threads or coroutines, then behavior can be very different under gdb. the second thing, iirc, is that memory usage is a bit different
[15:15] edge2054 Not always.
[15:15] edge2054 I had it happen during auto-explore
[15:15] tiger_eye do you have cheat mode enabled?
[15:15] edge2054 Yes
[15:15] tiger_eye have you ever had it freeze like that while not in cheat mode?
[15:16] yufra Dekar, that could work but I'd rather have something copyleft
[15:16] tiger_eye http://forums.te4.org//viewtopic.php?f=42&t=31789
[15:16] edge2054 No but I didn't play much this release without cheat mode enabled
[15:17] yufra edge2054, ok I just pushed the item changes. They are completely untested since I cannot boot ToME here so I fully except Lua errors.
[15:18] tiger_eye edge2054, if you click a bunch of places on the screen after it locks up, does it bring up the donation webpage?

[15:20] tiger_eye I think DG got permission to use some of their music; there's some good stuff, so maybe if we ask nicely
[15:21] tiger_eye hum, or it may be free from the get go
[15:21] edge2054 tiger_eye, yeah it sounds similar to what's in that thread
[15:21] edge2054 Sometimes I can save and quit out, sometimes it will be completely unresponsive.
[15:22] edge2054 I haven't seen the donation menu pop up.
[15:22] edge2054 The strange thing is... the game's still running.
[15:22] edge2054 It's just cutting me off completely. But if I go into the log I can see chat messages that are posted from after the game locked up on me.
