Doomsday Engine

• http://sourceforge.net/p/deng/bugs/_discuss/thread/faca63dd/34a1/attachment/doom2-003.jpg

Cannot reproduce on Mac, Windows or Ubuntu.

Possibly related to report https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3516954&group_id=74815&atid=542099

Possibly caused by GL state mismanagement.

How to reproduce:

1. Set locale: export LANG=ru_RU.KOI8-R
2. rm -rf ~/.doomsday
3. Install doomsday build452.
4. Start it: doomsday -g doom2
5. Exit and uninstall build452.
6. Install doomsday build455 or newer.
7. Start it: doomsday -g doom2

Before starting build455 or newer configuration values look like this:
con-background-alpha 0.75
After starting build455 or newer they converted to:
con-background-alpha 0,
After removing ~/.doomsday and starting build455 or newer again they look like:
con-background-alpha 0,75

So, numeric values format in qt-based builds depends from locale. But it shouldn't.

You're right, Doomsday should override the locale for number and time formatting. Could you see if this is still occurring? (after commit 7f9db5ec)

Nothing changed. The issue still occurs.

OK, I'll investigate a bit more...

Fixed. I assumed the problem was on Qt side, but the actual issue was that no one was forcing the en_US locale on libc any more. I assume SDL used to do it previously.

Note that you have to delete the old (corrupted) game.cfg to restore the default/good console variable values.

Now it's fixed. Thanks!
