XPilot5 Bugs

October 5, 2001

Current version: XPilot5.0.0

Here is a list of known problems with XPilot5.

If i connect the server control, play with it, disconnect and reconnect it, that second reconnection runs very slow. It's probably something to do with reliable packet timeout/retransmission, but i'm not finding it. I'm probably not reinitializing something correctly.
The problem is with the server control and not the server. If i close the server control window and reopen it, then it connects at the normal speed.
If you say maxRobots 10 that really means max total players 10. That is, if a human joins, the number of robots decreases to 9.
The options parsing is not perfect. In particular, it doesn't understand the define: nomenclature.
Really weird bug introduced. If i pause a player, connect a server control, and set certain flags (sometimes allowViewing, sometimes robotsTalk) then the paused player never gets keep-alive pings from the server. (no reliable packets sent to verify)
