[CF-Devel] some bug in client-1.2.1

[Bernd Edler]

Hello

I recently updated to cf-1.2.0 and client-1.2.1 got
the following problems:

server problem:

I can not reach certain NS/WE lines on the world map.
At a certain point you will always jump 2 fieleds at once. 
I assume these to be, where the world map is split into smaller ones.
I am using the old (small) world map.

Just ignore me if it's not in the CVS. 
Maybe i am the only one running a server from the tarballs, 
but i think the client has a higher percentage of old vs. CVS. as the
server does. 
So if you do coding on the client,please read on.

client-1.2.1 problems:

If i turn off the fog of war, i get graphics residues.
E.g: I see copies of monsters or moster parts, where there
is no monster any more, or spell effect stuff etc.
Everything that does move creates this. I can even see
copies of myself. Fixed objects like walls are not affected.
I usually have mapsize 13x13 but i also tested 11x11 and 25x25/scaling 50%
I don't think this is a library problem because:
1. I get this with both gcfclient and cfclient with both
   sdl turned on/off on runtime/compile time. 
2. client-1.2.0 works (using the same library-versions)

lighting:
If i turn on the fog of war, the lighting code goes amok.
Some steps ahead of where the character is looking, there is 
a line of full lighted squares.
Some steps behind there is a line of utter darkness. 
These will move accordingly as i turn/move around.
The other squares are lit wrongly also. 
With FOW off,it looks ok on entering the map,but i can't tell if it
really works as the garbage residues will interfere.

sound:
I get distorted sound on all 1.2.x clients
(to long and with lot of noise) , like 16bit sound
played at 8bit or something like that.
--enable-old-sound did not help.
Other programs have no problems (lbreakout(sdl),mpg321,timidity etc.)
This is most certainly a driver problem. 
Maybe you know, or know someone i could ask, or something i should read or so.  

Information on my system:
