HI,

First of all, nice work on this version, i find it very neat.

But sadly i have some bug.
The fist time i played a game in 1.1 it worked well for the two/three first rounds (All Vs All), but after that the application simply crash, first i thought it was bad luck, but i decided to try again but again after three rounds (Survivor Mode), i've looked for to put the debug mode (LOG like before) but i haven't found how to enable it.
So i've tried to lauch it through the console and all i've managed to get



I have not pushed farther my investigation.



Here my Java version :
java version "1.6.0_35"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_35-b10-428-11M3811)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.10-b01-428, mixed mode)

Note also that the CreepTD Client always says on start that my JVM is out of date even so i use the last Java version available on mac.

Unfortunately, a segfault must be a bug in the JVM itself. Isn't Java 7 available for Mac, yet?

Usually Java is updated by apple itself, my OS is up to date.
I've just installed the Java version by Oracle (java.com) now it seems to not crash anymore even if i still have the warning on launch saying that my java is not up to date and in the console nothing have change.



Weird.. for now it seem to work so \O/.
Thanks and nice job again

Yeah finally it sill doesn't work

Java 7 for Mac: http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/ ... leId=68237

This is what i've already installed, still doesnt work, 966.3Mb of allocated memory seems a lot to me, i'll tried to lower the graphics so see if it helps.


Edit :

It seems to crash randomly, this time i've not even started the game that it has already crashed.

Hmm...seems like a bug with the JVM or the "JavaApplicationStub" in the package. Have you tried to run the linux version instead via bash?

No i'll try and keep you inform.

Didn't work either :



Really seems to have some memory issues :'(

Hrm...I am feeling a little helpless. In Java, you usually don't have access to low level memory at all - so, I didn't even call any near-machine memory stuff like malloc at all like in C++ apps. Generally CreepTD is a pure Java app without any near-machine code or other magic involved.

I think I'll have to try this out in a virtual machine.

I think maybe it come from the sound module.
Since i've never been able to have tower/creeps sounds (I've spoke to you about that a while ago).
And now i've a game sound, but still not tower /creeps sound (which i expect to be "normal").
(Its possible that the app try to deallocate sound flux ( a limited flux number is allowed if i remember right on how the lib worked ) and since on Mac the sound haven't been played maybe not allocated) (Its a guest )

Even if in java you don't manually allocate memory there is some library that allocate and free memory.
Maybe in one of the lib you used there is some problems.

Can you do a version where there is an option to totally disactivate the sound ? (Not specially in the GUI even in commande line would be fine just for test ?)
(All i can do for now is to put it at 0% but i assume that the sound is still playing, right ?)

If you put it at 0%, sounds will be skipped and will not be played. Let me know if this helps

Its seems to have fixed the problem.

Hello,

there is a java 7 version for osx available. Since of version 7 Apple doesnt support softwareupdate for java anymore, so it has to be installed from the oracle site (as for any other os). There are some difficulties installing it (a lot about it can be found on the net and the oracle site).
If you install the JRE, java tools do not recognize it and it cannot be activated.
If you install the JDK (with JRE coming along with it) javatools do recognize it and there is a new java settings in the system preference pane (aka Systemeinstellungen).

There you will see that java 7 is installed. If you go to Terminal and type 'java -version' it might still say that you have Java 6, after removing Java completely and reinstalling it worked for me (that is the terminal also tells me i have java 7 aka 1.7.0)

My bugs with CreepTD on macOSX 10.7.5:

• CreedpTD still tells me i dont have Java 7 as long as theres also java 6 on the System.
• No special effect sounds but only music works.
• Whenever a game is finished and all leave i cannot 'leave' the game. When i click the tiny x i get the message if i really want to leave, just as if i was quitting during the game.
• Probably connected to game quitting bug: i dont get the webpage with the recent game and i dont seem to get any games counted at all. The last game recorded was the last one i played on the old version.

cheers
