[svn 3171] CPU use and saving

[greycat]

Two quick notes on svn 3171: it's using ALL my CPU. Even when I'm not looking at that page in the FvwmPager.

Code: Select all

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND           
11339 greg      20   0  248m 154m 5692 R 92.9 15.3  29:23.02 t-engine          

The entire system is sluggish and horrible to use (like this web browser that I'm typing this in) while the game is running. This is the behavior I used to see in older betas (back around, oh, beta 14 or so?), and it didn't reoccur until just now.

Also, when I started my game in svn 3171, the first thing I noticed was that it said Saving: 0% on the left pane, and it never updated or went away. Even several zone-changes later, it still says that. I can never tell when it's actually saving, or when it's done.

Oh, crap... just found that it's MUCH WORSE than just a display glitch.

It's not actually saving.

After hitting Ctrl-X and exiting and restarting the process, there's no saved game. It's totally gone.

Maybe this is related to my attempt to band-aid the broken zlib. Maybe not.

Also, the minimap was totally white when I was playing in Trollmire, and stayed that way when I went into the wilderness and then into Derth. It was actually an attempt to pin down the minimap glitch that caused me to attempt to save-and-exit the program.

Tried copying *all* of the *.[ch] files from zlib-1.2.3.4/contrib/minizip/ into the zlib123 directory. This caused an error in building the iowin32.c stuff. So I deleted iowin32.c and iowin32.h and rebuilt.

New char started: minimap is still white. Still says Saving: 0% forever. Ctrl-X and there's still no saved game in ~/.t-engine4/4.0/tome/save.

So this time I removed all the *.[ch] files from src/physfs/zlib123/ and redid the "svn update -r 3171". This put me back to the zlib 1.2.3 as shipped with T4.

Then I commented out the code in src/lzlib/lzlib.c that checks the version string.

Then I rebuilt, and started a character -- and the "Saving: 0%" problem went away. I saw it actually progress from 0% and then go away.

The minimap is still white.
