Known Issues #

• identity(4…) [.stringtile] Faulty offsets?
  • cf. more information here
• identity(9…) [.boxshift] Not fully implemented
  • cf. more information here
• det(12…) [.extgroup] Causes crashes for an unknown reason
  • cf. more information here
  • Iambian believes that the problem occurs at/after GroupGetNext in c3_util.asm
  • Could be because one or more filetype is not being properly handled - ie, when a group contains file types other than programs
• det(25…) [.errorhandle] Does not reliably work. Don’t know why.
  • cf. more information here

Resolved Issues #

• DrawLine problems, ie with real(12), solved by removing existing line routine and substituting mos_fastline.
• Issues with sprites stored in the last row of a picture
  • cf. more information here
  • 
    • Notice extra line from row 63 (the 64th row) for lefthand sprite
  • Solved by adding extra logic to not try to read last row, as well as clear out unwritten buffer pieces.
  • Final cost is about 60 bytes and a few hundred T-states when routine is triggered, a few T-states otherwise.
• real(14) does not properly return the current amount of free RAM.
  • Repaired - programmer oversight in clearing Op1 after setting it up.
• Looks like real(11) also returns invalid values?
  • Turned out to be an emulator problem
• Problems displaying lines/shapes smaller than 8x8
  • cf. more information here
  • Shown to happen with 2-pixel-high rectangles of any width, but 1-pixel-wide rectangles are fine
  • Experimentation details about problem:
    • Real(12,5) (empty with inverted edges) have some render problems when randomly rendered with size (3x3)
    • Real(12,6) (black rectangles) are uniforming distributed when randomly rendered with size (3x3)
    • Real(12,7) (white rectangles) are uniforming distributed when randomly rendered with size (3x3)
    • Real(12,8) (inverted rectangles) appear to render only in certain columns at (3x3), cf. image below. Notice that one symptom is that at (3x3), the unaffected columns are grouped in adjacent pairs:
      • 
    • Real(12,8) (inverted rectangles) appear to render only in certain columns at (4x4), cf. image below. Notice that one symptom is that at (4x4), the unaffected columns are grouped in adjacent groups of three:
      • 
  • Solved by removing PicArc box-drawing routine, substituting combination of fastrectangle and filledrectangle
• real(12…) [.drawshape] Both box and line not rendering correctly.

  • See previous fixes
• LOOKUPINDEX pair suffers from not stripping newline characters

  • fix here: UTI thread

  • Believed already fixed in 3.09s? TODO: Verify.
  • Confirmed fixed in 3.09s by Iambian
• DRAWTEXT command does not reset flags after exiting.

  • Believed already fixed in 3.09s? TODO: Verify.
  • Confirmed fixed in 3.09s by Iambian
• Real(1) spites are sometimes offset by (-1,-1)
  • cf. more information here
  • 
  • Finally fixed after over a day of painful debugging. Real problem was that XLib’s tilemapper Real(2) routine does not write into the 64th row of the display. The 16x16 and 8x8 tile mapping routines were modified accordingly, including setting up buffer-address-based copy height reductions, buffer clearing, and copy mode-based buffer clearing.
• Real(2) problems, as seen with Metroid by CDI
  • Fix turned out to have a second part, handling Pic'0’ as Pic'10' instead of Pic8.
• Two byte tokens containing $3F as second byte does not properly parse in any lineread command
  • cf. more information here at UTI
  • Solved by inserting a _IsA2ByteTok check to RAM and Archive routines
• MATTOSTR Output is not valid
  • Description of problem: thread here
  • Partial description of fix: here
  • Fixed with code chunk from Iambian: solution
