Single-player mode, AI keeps playing

[dlh]

Description from Ca$h: “It seems that if you use an older client like 2.8.2, then get killed by AI's they continue to play. Most of the time I'm using 0.2.8.3_rc3 on the mac but if it's tied-up rendering video or whatever I'll use my Linux box to play. It has 0.2.8.2 installed which I believe is still the most common client version.”

This happens on Swampland Mud Puddle. I've had it happen a few times, but I can not reproduce it consistently.

The SP settings related to teams and players the server uses:

SP_MIN_PLAYERS 4
SP_TEAMS_MAX 4
SP_TEAMS_MIN 4
SP_TEAM_MAX_PLAYERS 1
SP_TEAM_MIN_PLAYERS 1

The server runs 0.2.8.

That looks like the effect of SP_FINISH_TYPE. What's it set to?

Hmm. I tested with a recent client build, and the effect turned itself on and off, seemingly randomly.

Oh, and it got stuck once when the last two AIs died. Which version is it running exactly? I fixed a bug like that shortly before 0.2.8.3.

[dlh (dlh)]

SP_FINISH_TYPE is set to 1.

The server is running 0.2.8 bzr revno 1151. I'll update it to 0.2.8.3 soon.

This doesn't seem to happen with newer servers anymore.
