OpenCPN Beta Version 3.3.1824 Released

Rick...

Should not have to guess at this stuff.

Find the proper logfile.
1. Run your debug build until it crashes.
2. Using windows File find function, find all the possible logfiles.
3. The most recent one ( i.e. just a minute ago) is the one.
4. Take note of this location. You will need it often. Maybe a shortcut on the desktop will help. But be sure to close it if you open in an editor, before you run O again, so that it will be updated.

Short memory?..

Rick...
They did not get deleted. You have to copy them into your build directory to be able to run the not-installed debug builds as noted in Compiling - Windows | Official OpenCPN Homepage

Ended up copy and pasting uidata to two places
..opencpn-git/uidata
..opencpn-git/build/uidata

Then of course charts loaded in MSVC debug.
Yes, I'll do a search on *.log in ...opencpn-git and pick the most recent date/time.

Have more results next. Lunch

[rgleason]

Had to
copy ..opencpn-git/build/data/ (gshhs, sound, tcdata and s57data folders)
out to ..opencpn/build

Then I could see world gshhs and actually have charts. Why can't these stay in "data" it would be more intuitive. Then you just copy uidata and data into the various locations like build and build/release.

This change might help get more people doing debug!

Still see the reverse color in bsb. Had some errors and breaks but it was due to the data location.

With debug and opengl checked with texture and texture cache machine is slow for sure, would not want to use it this way. Much different running the release version, with same code, a totally different experience. Also under Debug with Opengl off is actuallly useable and not bad in terms of panning and zooming. It is the debug code and opengl calcs that really slows things down at first, then it gets better as texture cache is filled.

I forced some Full rebuild of charts. I am using the NVIDIA Gefore 540M card, I checked again. See attached breaks.

Don't know if this helps as charts may not have been set up correctly.

[rgleason]

Using Opengl with Texture and Texture Cache checked it is even slower and you must wait for processing (no moving the chart because it screws up saving to the cache) so it really seems slower or less free. Running this with Opengl, Texture and Texture Caching, in Debug mode is an awful lot to do and the computer feels like a lead weight, but be patient, it generally works...so far. ENC, BSB and CM93. Sometimes, actually fairly frequently, it is hard to get it to "catch" that there are charts than need rendering, even when you are zooming in. Then somehow it does catch on to the fact that it has work to do, and then the chart cannot be moved until the texture map is done. Be patient in the Debug - Opengl -Texture Cache mode.

Rick...

I understand that you are still getting some color reversal problems on your Windows build.

Will you try to run without Compression caching for a bit, and see if you can reproduce this?

The thing is this: If you got a color reversal (for whatever bug reason) while you were caching compressed textures, then that reversal will end up in the cache, and you will see it forever more.

So, as a test, try to run with compression enabled, but caching disabled.

Also, a note. The reason that Windows Debug build is so slow with compression enabled is that in Debug mode, Windows tries to do a very thorough job of checking all internal memory allocations to try to detect corruption. This can be very helpful in development, but is verrrry slow, as you notice.

You can run the Release mode in VS2010 GUI. It will give some information on a crash, although not as much as the Debug mode. But it runs at full speed, which is useful.

Thanks

Having problems with GPSD and UDP since upgrade to 3.3.1824 using Pavels PPA.(Not suggesting this is the problem)

O worked for a while then when I try to add new GPSD with localhost and port 2947 it gives me an error message "you must enter the address"

Also when I try to enter UDP connection using 192.168.1.5 as my address, it saves it as 0.0.0.0.

Both can be see in the one screen shot.

Ubuntu 14.04 Xubuntu
Thanks

The second problem isn't a problem, it's simply OpenCPN being more honest with you. For input only UDP connections OpenCPN has always ignored whatever you stuck in that field and just listened on all addresses of all interfaces it has (a special address represented by zeros). The wiki needs to be updated to explain that and the lack of update is my fault which I hope to correct in the coming week.

Are you sure OpenCPN worked entering "localhost" for a GPSD network connection before? I didn't intentionally change anything GPSD-related (although not discounting having done so inadvertently). Try using "127.0.0.1" and see if that works instead of "localhost".

[redog]

Muttnik
I remember following discussion about 0.0.0.0 , but was unaware it had been implemented. It does allow connection and information flow from other computer. All good on that matter.

Yes using 127.0.0.1 allows O to save connection but I don’t see any data flow in the NMEA Debug Window or get a position lock.

Further to this problem if I use localhost and then close the options window before closing the error window. When I do then close the error window O shuts down.

Another subtle difference is when I open the debug window, the try to bring the options window to the top, it won't let me.
I must close the debug window to get access to the options window.

I also notice that when you close the debug window with the X in top corner, that the tick box in the options window stays ticked.
I believe this has always been the way with old versions, so if it has been designed to not be able to see options window when debug window is open, a suggestion that the tick should disappear on closing the debug window.

Cheers Redog

Not accepting a text name rather than an IP address I seem to have stupidly broken and will fix (thanks for spotting). I'll look at the data flow issue while I'm about it. I'm not very good with GUIs so am not optimistic about my ability to fix pre-existing layout issues.

Just confirming reinstalled old version of O and it functions as expected.
Localhost accepted and data flows.

Testing 3.3.1824 on my 10' W8.8 I got a reproducible crash
(openGL enable or disable )
With AIS - GPS connected and a dozen of targets
Open the target list, manipulate and exit by red cross = crash
A crash report has been sent
Jean Pierre

[rgleason]

Most recent Opencpn 3.3.1824 compiles with just 30 warnings.

[P_Dub]

OpenCPN 3.3.1824 works OK Windows 7 Ultimate.

[cagney]

O crashes after something like 10 - 15 minutes left to its own. Using the Baltic AIS feed (1022 targets) and CM93.



Thomas

PS

I'm using the up to date git code-base. The crash is repeatable.

[Ptizef]

More test still with my 10' net book W8.1
GPS connected via AIS. A route activated, a track activated but the boat was static. About a dozen of targets in the area.

After about 10-15 minutes manipulating ( zooming, dragging, opening AIS target query etc...) I got crashes
The second one I successfully took a screen shot (attached)
I was not proposed to send a crash report
I also attach the two logs
first crash
