Author Topic: STABLE Releases MegaMek, MegaMekLab, MekHQ: v0.42.1 (Read 13468 times)

Hi Everyone,
Going forward we are changing how we handle releases for MegaMek/MegaMekLab/MekHQ.
You’ll see separate posts for Stable releases and Development Snapshots.

So, what’s the difference?
The Stable branch is simply bug fixes and new data (maps, sprites, unit fixes) pulled into the existing Stable. As a rule, it should be more stable and less crash prone. The Development Snapshots will have the new toys in them.

So hypothetically we code LAMs in MegaMek, those would appear in the Development Snapshots. Once we are comfortable the Snapshots are good then we will release a New Stable with those features in that stable.

As a general rule, we are going to aim for a new Stable on a regular basis, meaning when enough things in the Development Snapshot are bug free and working and ready to be considered Stable. As a rule we aren’t going to commit to specific timelines as lots of things can impact timelines to a Stable release.

What release should I use?
Depends. If you just want to stay the course have just fixes and no new features, then use this STABLE BRANCH release. If you want bleeding edge, new features, new stuff to try and play but may end up with crashes and other weirdness then you want the. DEVELOPMENT SNAPSHOT.

Here's the links:

So megameklab won't print. Or at least it won't work with the print-to-pdf function in windows 10. Any ideas?

1. What are you trying to print?
2. Attach a log.

Mechs, vehicles, conventional infantry, aerofighters. I haven't tried printing battle armor, but I don't expect any different.

Is this the log?

Can you try redownloading it, it seems like it might be missing files? Also was their a specific unit you where trying to print?

Downloading. I started with a custom infantry unit. From there I tried a variety of other units.

Downloaded both Megameklab as a standalone and MekHQ all over again. So far, the standalone megameklab prints fine, except the queue to print function does not appear to work with conventional infantry. The entire program freezes and has to be closed from the task manager.

I think it was posted in the last release thread.. something not getting packaged right if I remember. Could be no one posted a bug report on it.

Hammer · « **Reply #8 on:** 15 February 2017, 23:16:03 »

What unit where you trying to print that has "Infantry Heavy Machine Gun"?

Is that a custom unit made by hand or from an older version of Megamek?

Liam's Ghost · « **Reply #9 on:** 15 February 2017, 23:35:58 »

I didn't try to print (or even open) that unit, but yes, it's an infantry unit I made in a previous version of megamek lab. I thought I had cleaned all of those old guys out when I moved my unit files to the new version, but I guess I missed one.

The infantry I've tried to print out were newly generated in this version of megamek lab, and they ranged from just basic units with assault rifles and no support weapons, to ones with support weapons, field guns, special armor, and implants.

I also noticed that when you add light autocannon 5s as field guns it allocates light autocannon 2 ammo to them.

How do I do this bug submission thing?

Liam's Ghost · « **Reply #10 on:** 16 February 2017, 00:07:45 »

Update: The queue to print function actually is working with conventional infantry. It just takes a bit of time (like go in the kitchen and get a drink kind of time).

Still way more convenient than making my own sheets by hand. ;D

You submit bugs by selecting the correct project here https://github.com/megamek and clicking on the issues tab. No need for this one as I just fixed it. I also noticed that LBX ACs were missing from the field gun list and fixed that, too.

But most importantly: infantry record sheets are part of the development snapshot and this is the stable release thread. Please discuss development testing options in the correct thread.

Giovanni Blasini · « **Reply #21 on:** 01 March 2017, 11:30:42 »

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but I noticed in MekHQ with this release that, when trying to add lances/subunits to my unit structure, they don't end up in the left-hand pane, and when trying to add Mechs or other combat units to them, they get added to the parent unit, and I'm unable to add them to the lance. End result is that they're not in a unit that can then be deployed.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

I am having an issue with printing. I have only attempted to print an infantry sheet since I downloaded this version. I am attempting to print the AA jump infantry, but when I do it prints out in a very small format. I did not mess with any settings. I have had a similar problem with SSW printing tiny record sheets, but with that program there is an option to modify the print, not so with MML.

Is there anything that I need to do to get MML to print the proper size?

Sounds like an issue with the printer. Have you tried printing to PDF and seeing what happens?

charred faith · « **Reply #26 on:** 08 March 2017, 09:27:13 »

You might want to check your print settings on your printer. Don't ask me why, but at least I, myself have had issues with small printing formats when the zoom setting in Firefox was off.

Also, somewhere, I ran into a problem with printing because there was a packaging problem with HQ and MM. Certain files were missing.

Is that an option within MML? I did not see it as an option.

However, I decided to test out the idea that it was the printer and picked out an Awesome, which printed properly. I then switched to the infantry and queued up 4 platoons. It printed properly. I did look over the settings, as I did before, and found nothing that was different and changed nothing. I have only had this issue with MML and SSW, never from a word file or pdf. Perhaps its something to do with java? ???

A couple of observations on using 0.42.1, one cosmetic, one maybe not.

In the home (start) window, the label says "MegaMek 43.1-git".

When configuring infantry (but not vehicles or mech), the "next" and "OK" sometimes do not work. The changes are correctly applied when I manually close the window.

Log?? This occurs long before the game starts. And it is not wrong, it just does not perform the action when expected. The data are correct, after I use the red X to close the window.

I will note that the infantry window appears in a different place than the one for vehicles and mechs. I suspect that the recent updates for infantry left a small problem in the control software.

neoancient · « **Reply #37 on:** 17 March 2017, 17:20:58 »

Yes, the log file. The symptoms you are describing are consistent with a fatal error that causes the user interface to stop processing events generated by the controls in the window. If the is the case, the error will be in the log file the is generated every time the program runs, and can be found in the logs folder.

No ETA for RS but we are in the early stages of a project that would hopefully allow better printing for our supported units.

For the Gauss I just pushed a fix for that and should be in the next release. Not normally a coder so Arlith or Neoancient should check my work :)

No Manei. Just upgrading armor from 1.0 to 2.0, and adding ECM sneak suits to a few.

The key is that it was in the "configure" window.

silverback · « **Reply #49 on:** 20 March 2017, 17:33:57 »

Followup:

The first five platoons in the second group of Infantry each got armor upgrades, and one of them( the fourth) also got the sneak suits.

Hope that helps.

This error was fixed last month. You can update your daily build (not the best solution), build new infantry from MML, or wait for the next stable/dev release.

If you DO update to the latest daily post your bugs in a separate thread. This is for bugs found in the stable release. Or at the very least post what version you are using and when its from.

Unofficial is our poorly worded area for Primitive rules or other niche rules. They can be made to Experimental but when I added the units I did them as Level 5 so that they can be grouped in one tech level.

Quick question, how many units can you load in the megamek lobby before it crashes the game?

I'm thinking about a scenario that would involve around 112 units. Not all on the map at once, mind you. Most of them would come in waves of twelve spaced out well enough that they're not likely to survive long enough to build up.

pheonixstorm · « **Reply #59 on:** 17 April 2017, 22:29:45 »

Jayof9s · « **Reply #61 on:** 18 April 2017, 07:46:35 »

Ralgith and I have had more than a few games with well over 100 units. Definitely shouldn't crash the lobby by any stretch. May want to bump up how much memory MM can use but I'm not sure it is actually necessary.

I have run games with over 100 units on the 9 map board all at once. Things may slow down, but the system does not break. This in an old small netbook, with 5 to 7 bots running against me.

Always a work in progress :)

LOL Thanks once again. By the way, I had my first Star League cache mission yesterday. I saved just prior to starting the mission to see what happens if I turn the mech over. As it turns out, if I did not claim the downed mech as salvage, it just disappears and I get nothing in return. When I decided to claim the mech, it didn't seem that there was any minor breach or my employer being mad at me.
I did some googling and found a thread where it was mentioned that the mechanics of turning the mech over were not implemented. I guess for now, I can treat these missions as a way to get free mechs (assuming I win that is)?

I would. It looks like it would be cool.
