==Discussion: Maintaining This List==


How do we deal with this list after the next patch is available? Topic is up for discussion, I think we have two options.
*Option 1. Delete the list and start fresh, in some cases bugs may have been addressed but aren't listed in the changelog and getting everyone to retest their bugs maybe a monumental task. If the bug is important, submitter will resubmit it the new list.


*Option 2. Allow users to recheck their bugs, and scribe out the bug. This has its downside as many people might be lazy in this dept. therefore bugs never being cleaned up.

Just because something is different in the game from how it is in reality doesn't make it a bug.<br>As it says in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_bug quoted Wikipedia article]: ''"A software bug is an error, flaw, mistake, failure, or fault in a computer program that prevents it from behaving as intended (e.g., producing an incorrect result)."''<br>So - if the developers ''intended'' for pigs to fly in the game, it is quite irrelevant whether they do so in real life. It's still not a bug... ;) --[[User:Kronzky|Kronzky]] 00:27, 8 December 2006 (CET)

: I know, all the more reason it shouldn't be in the bug list. Unfortunately, going through the list I see a lot of questionable bugs, some obviously not, and are rather non-features or even possible wishes. I think someone should go through the list and determine which ones qualify as bugs and which do not. It might also be good to use that oppertunity to find reports that aren't as useful as they could be, as some seem to contain little useful information (and aren't following the exemplified format). --[[User:BigDawgKS|Big Dawg KS]] 22:14, 8 December 2006 (CET)

* Invisible Glass on side edge of buildings.  Makes AI invulnerable and you a hittable target. ''[1.01.5094]''
** Location? Building type? Images would be helpful. [[User:Hoz|hoz]]


why don't you just take an real bug tracking system (BTS)?
* Vehicles do not smoke or burn before looking burned. ''[1.01.5094]''
* It would be better than a wiki page
** Which vehicles? [[User:Hoz|hoz]]
* it's searchable and you could close duplicated things easily
* you could make categories
* it's state of the art


It would be great to see such a thing. I've made good experience with [http://www.mantisbt.org/ Mantis].

: Erm... this is a user-powered bug list. It's not exactly officially supported by BIS (or it wasn't when I started it), it was just a simple way to keep a (hopefully) comprehensive, unified and collaborative bug-list and hope the devs take these reports into account. I'm sure BIS uses a bug tracking tool internally, but as far as user reports go, I think what we do is already above what happens in other communities. --[[User:Vic|Vic]] 14:28, 11 December 2006 (CET)

Boecko this system is as official a system as there will be for reporting bugs, no more, no less, I respect you might not be happy with it, in which case the solution is to leave the bug reporting to other people.-[[User:Placebo|Placebo]] 20:28, 13 December 2006 (CET)

******
 
 
 
Why closed? @ BI & Placebo: This will never speed up your bugfixung process. I am sure you use a TT tool inside BI for developement together with a kind of SVN.
(if not, BI never left the garage / notepad / hacker way of going it??)
So inside the community there is the willingness to provide for free (you hear that BI? for free!) the setup and administration of such an environment.
Only question is if BI would really use that tool???? We would filter out the shitty tickets or map double / redundant tickets for BI so that BI would get the concentrated, well organized pain served on a silver plate.
 
Sounds good?
 
The only thing that would be necessary on your side:
 
- Willingness to use that TT.
 
- let us know in a workshop your demands on that tool (how it should be setup, names and content of cathegories, process flow of ticket status...)
 
- maintain the SW Version names and numbers
 
- maintain the trouble ticket-stat "fixed" "delayed" "rejected"
 
- maintain the change request stats
 
It might cost some resources on your side, but trust me, on the long run it would save BI so much time.
In addition you might participate from that tool even for VBS if it is true that both using the same or similar engine because 1.000.000 eyes seeing more then a few hundred.
 
Check there if you wanna find some examples how it would look like:
 
here a few representative TTs / CRs
 
should make clear why lists ar not working:
 
https://wgl.bofh.at/wgldev/trac/ticket/250
 
Is a short CR for WGL, whichs could also be implemented now in ArmA core. In theory BI could request more info within the TT from the creator of the TT or rejected by BI as to ambitious or BI could answer with a design proposal for that CR
 
 
 
 
https://wgl.bofh.at/wgldev/trac/ticket/241
 
 
This CR describes a functionality request at high level, something we missed very hard already in OFP and it seems it is even not implemented in ArmA. At least I did not recognized that AI thrown a handgranade over a wall where I was hiding behind.
 
 
 
https://wgl.bofh.at/wgldev/trac/ticket/232
 
one that is also not solved in ArmA and requires a design decision by BI since they have a generic control set per model type
 
 
 
https://wgl.bofh.at/wgldev/trac/ticket/240
 
also a nice one, must still verify/test with ArmA if also here nades simply disappear after a certain lifetime. Stupid thing was / is that long range nade fire was not possible with that design fault since it took to long for the nades. Hence AGS17 on BMP where useless for toasting an area from safe distance.
 
 
 
https://wgl.bofh.at/wgldev/trac/ticket/390
 
This one I quickly created out of a german "official" ArmA forum
 
 
AND HERE THE BEST: A SOLVED TT:

== This thing is frustrating ==
 
I tried to contribute by making two bug reports with picture to clarify things. There will be no more.
I've got better things to do with my time, than beta testing your software and submitting bugs in that way.
This is by no means professional. I find it ridiculous, that i have to format my bug report, so it doesn't interfere with the next ones (images|thumb).
 
Your games differ from other games because of its openess and the great community.
 
And we all know, that this community is '''betatesting''' the whole thing now.
I '''don't complain''' about being betatester and bugs, as long i have a medium to make '''quality''' feedback/reports, where i can be sure, the right people will read it
 
Missing things:
''subject'',''description'',''steps to reproduce'',''attached files'',''servity'', ''comments'', ''hw specs of computer (could be in user profile)'', ''fixed in version''.


Should i go on? ..  
Tidied up page. If your about to edit this section read the history, and check Placebo's comments. [[User:Hoz|hoz]]


No ... As you said ''... which case the solution is to leave the bug reporting to other people..''..
== Signatures ==


So .. Good Riddance! --[[User:Boecko|Boecko]] 03:31, 15 December 2006 (CET)
Why should the bug reports be signed?
It seems to make no sense, it just makes the list even harder to read. Noone will really contact anyone about any bug submitted here anyway. :) --[[User:Salisan|Salisan]] 15:14, 15 December 2006 (CET)
:Because when someone submits an ambiguous report, I or others can contact them for more information. use just 3 ~ to prevent the date from showing which looks a bit better. Edit: if someone is going to submit a bug like "Some vehicles don't burn" they went to the trouble to add a bug with no detail and they can't sign it, the bug will be removed so that more detailed bugs are front and center for the devs. Also I've contact several people, letting them know that what they are asking was indeed the way  it was intended See this as an example [http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/User_talk:TeRp Talk Terp].  [[User:Hoz|hoz]]
:: Ok, the 3~ thing is better. I guess you just have way more patience than me with crappy reports. :) [[User:Salisan|Salisan]]

What's a bug?

Somebody had asked a while ago, what exactly constitutes a bug - that's how this discussion below got started. Even though that original post has now been removed, the follow-up discussion might still be a good reference to have for the future, though.

Just because something is different in the game from how it is in reality doesn't make it a bug.
As it says in the quoted Wikipedia article: "A software bug is an error, flaw, mistake, failure, or fault in a computer program that prevents it from behaving as intended (e.g., producing an incorrect result)."
So - if the developers intended for pigs to fly in the game, it is quite irrelevant whether they do so in real life. It's still not a bug... ;) --Kronzky 00:27, 8 December 2006 (CET)

I know, all the more reason it shouldn't be in the bug list. Unfortunately, going through the list I see a lot of questionable bugs, some obviously not, and are rather non-features or even possible wishes. I think someone should go through the list and determine which ones qualify as bugs and which do not. It might also be good to use that oppertunity to find reports that aren't as useful as they could be, as some seem to contain little useful information (and aren't following the exemplified format). --Big Dawg KS 22:14, 8 December 2006 (CET)


Items Removed

Should we really keep this list?
After all, we're getting *lots* of inappropriate and useless bug reports (and it'll probably become even more in the future). We shouldn't have to file a "justification" or log for every removal of them. (Or, at least, have a dedicated page for removed bug reports, rather than cluttering this one.) --Kronzky 17:24, 13 December 2006 (CET)

I moved these topics here for deletion as they are pretty useless descriptions of bugs and are not signed but the editor. There fore we can't ask for clarification.hoz 00:34, 6 December 2006 (CET)

  • Accuracy on all weapons is way off. [1.01.5094]
    • What Weapons?
  • Some Weapons have no recoil. [1.01.5094]
    • What weapons?

- Isn't the accuracy related to the server.cfg and settings? "precisionFriendly=0.750000". So it would have to be seen if the accuracy is different if this is set to 1. Then it is no bug, is it. --SniperAndy

More questionable entries:

  • "we lost our primary gun when we swim about 30sec"
    • This is not a bug, it appears to be intentional (for realism purposes).
  • "when you shoot a AI (near 1 meter) with the M256 of M1A1, he doesn't died."
    • Using a sabot? If so, not a bug, sabots shouldn't have any splash damage.
  • "Possibility to turn off the integrated communication system that allows you to hear other players [1.01.5094]"
    • Is this a bug or a wish? --Big Dawg KS 23:38, 7 December 2006 (CET)
      • Its a wish. I haven't had time to go through the list much today. Hopefully tonite. hoz 22:11, 8 December 2006 (CET)
Ok, I'll move it to the wish list if you don't mind. --Big Dawg KS 22:25, 8 December 2006 (CET)
  • Under General: "Can't climb on the little rock or put an ai on(in the editor)...the AI is inside!" - What rock and how about setops the unit? --SniperAndy


  • Game did not start after install. tried the patch but got the same error message : "data file too short 'addons/weapons.pbo'." [1.01.5094]
    • This is more of an install problem. hoz
  • AI can't recognize any terrain in the city except the streets. The soldiers always walk around big places and don't use any stairs or so...

(wrong^^ / already seen AI´s using stairs and walking around upper levels twice) [1.01.5094] burns 19:44, 8 December 2006 (CET)

  • One cannot step over bodies laying on the ground (dead or alive) [1.00.5087]
    • Really a bug? Don't think so.
    • When I swim in the water weapon in hand, when I reach the shore all my equipment is lost. MrFreezeFR 14:01, 7 December 2006 (CET) [1.00.5087]

(loosing weapons in water isn´t a bug but a feature) burns 19:28, 8 December 2006 (CET)

  • As a seagull you cannot view the mission's notepad when looking at the map. [1.01.5094] --Kronzky 19:24, 5 December 2006 (CET)
    • Its also like this in Elite, I think its by design.hoz
      • ..besides, seagulls have been known to keep all mission details in their heads, as opposed to having notepads and whatnot.. ;o) --teaCup 22:35, 10 December 2006 (CET)
  • Getting stuck on bigger rocks [1.01.5094] burns 15:34, 5 December 2006 (CET)
    • Useless without picture/location.
  • we can't climb ladders into church
    • What church? What location?hoz
  • we lost our primary gun when we swim about 30sec.
    • Non bug as designed. hoz
  • When firing the west M249 MG in multiplayer and getting ammo from truck via the quick-ammo icon, your MG gets filled up with 4*30 rounds stanach magazines. [1.1.0.5094]
    • Not necessarily a bug as M249 can fire M16 Mags in real life.
  • .50 cal Bullets ricochet off Water [1.01.5094] burns 11:06, 6 December 2006 (CET)
    • I don't think that this is a bug. I have seen 7,62 x 51 mm bullets ricochet on water in Real Life (The time I was in the Army). --- [KSK-D]Arbaal 22:24, 6 December 2006
      • Indeed bullets can ricochet off of water. hoz
  • Weird LOD choices reported sometimes [1.00.5087]
  • Generaly more realistic sound all the weapons. Now there sound like toy-guns. Dec 10. 11:52
    • Moved to the wish list. --Big Dawg KS 22:35, 11 December 2006 (CET)
  • Rearming when you have an empty M249 at a crate using the 'rearm' action will load the M249 with M16 magazines and it is still fireable [1.00.5087]
  • Above Post: M249 is capable of firing M16 magazines in real life [1.00.5087]
  • Can't climb on the little rock or put an AI on(in the editor)...the AI is inside!
    • Use setpos height, objects frown on being placed on top of one another.hoz
  • AI should drive on the right side of a street. Too much crashes on two-way traffic. PhunkMaZ 14:05, 13. December 2006 (CET)
    • AIs are sometimes moving down the middle of the road, even at crossroads, in situations when they know that enemies are on the other side. They are getting killed as a result.
      • Even if their behavior is safe mode?I've seen this work ok if the unit behavior is 'safe' hoz
  • Using 'Reverse Y Axis' (for mouse) control option in order to fly a chopper, when you switch back to being infantry, it also reverses it's Y Axis too. [1.00.5087]
As a workaround you can swap action assignment for the Helicopter up/down actions instead. --Suma 15:57, 13 December 2006 (CET)
  • with the keyboard: when we are crouch, it's impossible to advance slowly forward and left in the same time. REPLY - try doing that in real life, it's almost impossible there too.
  • Generally low FPS in German version. [1.00.5087] Fixed [1.01.5094] --Johnnie walkerz 03:13, 5 December 2006 (CET)
  • Loading of textures is slow [1.00.5087]

Marking Important/Critical Bugs

What about marking the most important or critical bugs, so that BI know what they can start to fix with. Otherwise I think they will get a collapse when they look at these huge list and this could prevent them from doing some suicide attempts --T_D 15:32, 10 December 2006 (CET)

I don't think this is feasible. I'm sure BI is prioritizing the bugs. I think we will wipe the list clean after the next patch and start fresh and moderate the list a little better. If the bug was important then it will be reported perhaps in better detail. hoz
Yes, we prioritize bugs for our own purpose, Still, it would be quite helpful for us to know what are bug priorities as perceived by the community. However, if this is to be helpful, community would need to be able to agree on a very small number of high-priority problems. If anyone can mark anything as important, I suppose very soon most reported problems would be marked as important. --Suma 14:59, 11 December 2006 (CET)

Bug tracking system?

Tidied up page. If your about to edit this section read the history, and check Placebo's comments. hoz

Signatures

Why should the bug reports be signed? It seems to make no sense, it just makes the list even harder to read. Noone will really contact anyone about any bug submitted here anyway. :) --Salisan 15:14, 15 December 2006 (CET)

Because when someone submits an ambiguous report, I or others can contact them for more information. use just 3 ~ to prevent the date from showing which looks a bit better. Edit: if someone is going to submit a bug like "Some vehicles don't burn" they went to the trouble to add a bug with no detail and they can't sign it, the bug will be removed so that more detailed bugs are front and center for the devs. Also I've contact several people, letting them know that what they are asking was indeed the way it was intended See this as an example Talk Terp. hoz
Ok, the 3~ thing is better. I guess you just have way more patience than me with crappy reports. :) Salisan
