Another issue with latest LE-CODE: I disabled debug mode (DEBUG$OFF) using the wszst version inside the ISO Patcher, and it broke the speedometer. The speed it shows is correct but it keeps moving around and the glitch symbol (the one that looks like [?]) keeps appearing behind it. Tested on both PAL and USA, real Wii.

It was a missing null terminator if no debug output added. Fixed now.

After testing it, this track should be marked as "freeze". It was marked as "fail" on your archive but I got a LE-CODE exception error on loading it.

Done (you see it with next ct update)

Bowser's Castle 5 just crashed now...I think this is a LE-CODE issue.

Here I have no idea. I'll test the track again.

@Wiimm die Empfindlichkeit beim Classic-Controller Pro (original) passt perfekt für meinen Geschmack erst, wenn die Richtung ganz eingelegt ist, wird der neue Wert registriert.
Kann es vorkommen das Controller nicht mehr die voll Stärke registriert, durch alter oder sonstiges? Dann wär es höchstens ein Problem.

@Wiimm I don’t believe the issue was caused by the track. I experienced several crashes in VS mode on tracks I know don’t crash, and they were all the same kind. I would be in race and it would randomly freeze, the music would keep playing for a few seconds then stop, but any sound effects like drifting would continue to play. There wouldn’t be the “Wii error” sound. No LE-CODE exception would appear. I don’t think this is related to the tracks because I’ve played some of those tracks several times and not experienced this.

@SwampyGator
I haven't any problems with Bowser's Castle 5. I played offline with different Debug settings.

Im ersten Satz sind gleich 2 Hauptsätze enthalten. Daher bin ich etwas irriteirt. Meinst Du, dass man die Grenzwerte weiter nach innen verschieben soll, damit die Erfassung empfindlicher wird.

I wonder if it had to do with the missing null terminator you've fixed. When the next Intermezzo comes out, I'll patch that LE-CODE binary with last week's tracks and let you know if I still encounter the crashes.

Es gibt ein Update zum gestrigen Intermezzo. Das habe ich erst gestern nach dem Erstellen des Intermezzos umgesetzt. Dieses betrifft nur die Steuerung des Debug-Moduses und des Item-Cheats (nur Classic Controller). Daher sind beide Ausgaben (mit und ohne Update) kompatibel zueinander.

Ladet euch das Update runter: download.wiimm.de/intermezzo/patch2.tar
Packt die Datei in eurer Arbeitsverzeichnis, so dass patch.tar und patch2.tar nebeneinander liegen. Nun erzeugt das Image wie gehabt.

Folgende Änderungen:

Die Umschaltung der Debug-Fenster erfolgt nun durch ALT und "D-PAD recht oder links" . Damit kann man in beide Richtungen umschalten. Die ALT-Taste ist wie folgt definiert: MINUS für Wheel, Z für Nunchuk, Y für Classic + GCN.
Eines der Debug-Fenster ist ein Hexdump. Dieses lässt sich durch ALT und "D-PAD oben oder unten" steuern.
Für den Joystick des Classic-Controllers habe ich die Grenzwerte weiter zu Mitte verschoben (Hallo Sniki!).

SwampyGator · Mar 23rd 2021, 12:32am

I believe I have found an error in the latest LE-CODE build (the one from the patch2.tar). I disabled Item Cheat using the build of wlect included in the Intermezzo, but it still gave an error on Wiimmfi stating "Item cheats could not be used in this region". At first it was under my region (586), but then I tried switching it to your region (20222) in the StaticR.rel and it still gave the error. No item cheats were included in the main.dol, only "All Items Can Land" and "Mega TC" which I know have worked online before. Here's my LE-CODE binary for reference: link.

Also, forgive me if this isn't the place to point out LE-CODE bugs, I just always go here with the betas since this is where I get them from.

Edit: Forgot to point out that I tried again with the same main.dol and StaticR.rel, except using the latest stable release of LE-CODE and it worked perfectly.

Wiimm · Mar 23rd 2021, 12:15pm

@SwampyGator about "Item cheats could not be used in this region":
After reorganization of the code I did a mistake, so that the proof function is called even if item cheats are disabled. I fixed it already.

No problem, keep doing it as before.

Out of curisoty, why are Battle Arenas not included in the track list? I noticed that last week Palm Shores was included again, are battle arenas handled by a separate process?

Wiimm · Mar 24th 2021, 3:24pm

Sure you are right. Its a legacy thing: ct-code doesn't support arenas. And so my distrib-generator does not create an arena list.

But that is only half the truth. My distrib-generator creates a list likes this for me as work paper:

Source Code

() A2.3 0 0 23 ++ N64 Big Donut v1 (TravixMan) [a23]
() 9.1 T81 141 +U Aura Metropolis v1.2b (SpyKid) [r81,m42,FJRoyet]
() 9.2 T73 161 +U Jungle Glade v1.3 (Citrus) [r73]
() 9.3 T84 163 +U Kamek's Library v1.1 (MysterE99) [r84,FJRoyet]
() 9.4 T82 179 +U Park Cruise v1.1 (EdwardJW) [r82,FJRoyet]
() 10.1 T34 139 +U Volcano Canyon v2 (Multimariokartds) [r34]

The disadvantage: It is not language dependent and it is the base order (not ordered by users wish).

SwampyGator · Mar 24th 2021, 4:35pm

I see, that makes sense. Thanks for the info!

Wiimm · Mar 24th 2021, 9:50pm

Since my published list is generated in standard English anyway, I can also use the new list. So I will improve it until next week.

SwampyGator · Mar 29th 2021, 8:52pm

I believe I've discovered another bug. When starting a Time Trial, you have no mushrooms. If I had to guess, it's something relating to the Item Cheat being disabled, probably giving "none" as the starting value when beginning a race. I've attached my LE-CODE binary for reference.

Wiimm · Mar 30th 2021, 12:29am

Thinking about it (without code view) I think too, it is an initialization/reset bug.

Wiimm · Mar 31st 2021, 6:41pm

Ich habe über Ostern Urlaub. Und die ersten Tage machen wir endlich mit der im letzten August begonnen Renovierung weiter. Daher werde ich morgen das Intermezzo nachliefern. Ich werde auch heute nicht spielen.

SwampyGator · Mar 31st 2021, 7:32pm

This way you get to see the April Fools' tracks tomorrow too, epic.

Wiimm · Apr 1st 2021, 1:30pm

SwampyGator · Apr 1st 2021, 8:59pm

When you grab the remaining tracks from 2021-04-01 next time you update, can you also grab Teknik's Mushroom Peaks v1.0? For whatever reason, it wasn't added to the news page. Also, despite the release date, it's a serious update, not a joke.

Tock · Apr 1st 2021, 9:05pm

Hast auch das Cheep Cheep Lagoon update vergessen :hmmz:

SwampyGator · Apr 7th 2021, 6:41am

In the next Intermezzo (which I'm assuming tomorrow), could you include two versions of "Gingivitis is Bad": one still named "Gingivitis is Bad" and one also named "Oil Rig Run"? I'm curious if your builder will still support the new "alternate" names we've implemented.

Wiimm · Apr 7th 2021, 4:11pm

SwampyGator · Apr 7th 2021, 5:29pm

I'm very curious. While I'm pretty sure almost all, if not all tracks had Dutch translations, they only got picked up for 20 out of the 63 tracks. Oil Rig Run was among the ones not having them, but also several retros like Waluigi Pinball and Mario Circuit. Are translations not pulled from here?

Wiimm · Apr 7th 2021, 9:50pm

I don't use that page, but the same script. Now I found, that there are some errors in the post-script that crates a simple database for faster lookup.
