[1.0] Bug: Slave Miner crashes the program when open [fixed]

This has been found ages ago, but I have only confirmed it myself now. For some strange reason, it causes a memory access violation. It's the only case known so far... Other YR units were tested and all loaded fine....

A temporary fix would be to extract the file as .pcx and copy as SHP(TS) again (disabling compression), so the file might load...

I personally have no idea of what causes it...

Same problem found with Guardian GI and Einstein.

Stu... in case you read this, the access violation happens on the... guess where? decode3 function... we are fucked, my freind #Tongue

. Solving this will be a way hard #Tongue

. It's in the while part, v := source[sp]

Code:

while count >0 do
begin
dec(count);
v := Source[SP]; // <--- Problem detected here! SP is 62756 with
// Guardian GI
Inc(SP);
if v <> 0 then
begin
inc(x);
Dest[DP] := v;
Inc(DP);
end
else
begin
dec(count);
v := Source[SP];
Inc(SP);
if (x + v) > cx then
v := cx - x;
x := x + v;
while v >0 do
begin
dec(v);
Dest[DP] := 0;
Inc(DP);
end;
end;
end;

As you see, SP is a way above the maximum it should be (94 x 78 = 7332). As soon as you see me in MSN, talk to me and let's try sorting it together...

I think he meant "What program is this bug in?".

Banshee · Posted: Tue Dec 23, 2003 1:37 pm Post subject:

if he meant that, it's BS SHP Builder 1.0, SHP View 1.0 and SHP Engine 1.7

The problem lied in the SHP_Engine, which is the thing that all SHP Programs made by banshee and me use.

(which reminds me ill have to recompile SHP View)

Two things I thought of was a masking tool to keep a section of the image from being changed when you use the color replace tool and for which frames. And a color used button just like in the vxl editor. For the next time you update the shp editor.
