A Collision Mask Bug in XCode?

[Spike]

Hello,

I have an app on iOS running on my iPAD - I can go through many different levels / frames and the game be absolutely fine, they are navigated via a world map.

However occasionally, when I jump in and out of levels going backwards and forwards across the map I eventually get a crash, and then continually get that crash when entering that level - which leads me to believe it's a consistent problem. I do not get this error on the PC.

The xcode debugger comes back with the following section of code and error - any clue from anyone at clickteam if this is something in my code or an exporter issue, and if so can I get it looked at by Clickteam asap? It is within the CColMask.m file on the call 'fillrect'

if (val == 0)
{
leftMask = (short) ~lMask[x1 & 15];
rightMask = (short) ~rMask[x2 & 15];
for (y = 0; y < h; y++)
{
yOffset = offset + y * lineWidth;

mask[yOffset] &= leftMask;
for (x = 1; x < w - 1; x++)
{
mask[yOffset + x] = 0;
}
if (x == w - 1)
{
mask[yOffset + x] &= rightMask; <- Thread: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=1, address=0x10e564000)
}
}
}


Thank You!

please post a bug report with a small mfa that reproduce the issue for us to test.

check for bugtracker on top menu

That is going to be extremely difficult - I can't reproduce the bug reliably but it does happen frequently, once it occurs I can no longer open that level in my game when I load it. I have to have gone through quite a few frames and then backtracked and replayed levels for it to happen, so for me to produce a smaller mfa that does the same thing I don't think I can, as I don't know what is causing it in the first place.

I did some research into EXC_BAD_ACCESS and it says it is trying to access a variable that doesn't exist anymore - any idea what might cause this from a mfa point of view? Global Objects maybe?

I can provide you with my xcode project directly that has the issue - but it is 180meg in size.

[Fernando]

could it be that the object is not created at some moment, please check this.

[Spike]

The fault happens before the next frame actually loads - however majority of the frames in my game have the same events, and it only occurs on certain frames when the error occurs - so I can't see the relationship to any object. But saying that I get no error at all via the PC side of things - it only happens on iOS so surely it is a problem there?

Also I am pretty sure it didn't happen a few months back when I was testing so I may try to roll back my Fusion and see if it still happens.

[Fernando]

thanks for the info I will check

I upgraded to the latest beta version of the software up from standard, and this error has gone away (or appears to have so far) - Just an issue with my sounds taking a second to load in now.

what sound format is and which is the duration
