    @jacob1 This build is unacceptable. Even if it's just for April Fools', it was NOT built from the sources on GitHub!

    (citation: cannot transfer powder.pref between the two, even when I take into account that you changed the salt)
    What good is open source software if the OFFICIAL UPDATE BINARY is NOT BUILT FROM THE SOURCE?????

    Correct me if i'm wrong, but I do not need to provide the exact compile flags used.

    You can see here, if you add -DSALT=whatever to the command line, you can change the salt: https://github.com/ThePowderToy/The-Powder-Toy/blob/master/src/gui/game/GameController.cpp#L46

    The build server doesn't support editing the code before compiling. It doesn't look like I published the official build server code, but the snapshot build server code is here: https://git.starcatcher.us/Jacob/buildserver-snapshot

     (By the way, the anger is for April Fools; I'm actually just miffed)

     

    I was actually not talking about that. I extracted the salt from the official binary using strings and built TPT with that salt. It still didn't load my powder.pref file.

     

    EDIT: Wait, I just read your entire post. Now I think it's some kind of bug.

    Someone else on IRC is also having difficulties, I'll play around with it after I eat lunch. It starts with X6hc and ends with iXe. Literally just used
    export CPPDEFINES='SALT="\"[REDACTED]\"" SERVERSALT="\"[DATA EXPUNGED]\""'

    @jacob1 The issue might be that I didn't include the server salt. I'll try it again.

     

    EDIT: No, it still has the problem. I included both hashes and checked to ensure that they ended up in the binary, and it still didn't work :(

    jacob1- Actually, never mind. Sorry to waste your time. I don't care anymore (spending the entire day on something that will go away at the end of the day?)

    Actually I am pretty interested. I did figure it out. It's a bug in the code, it's a miracle the code works as is, it could easily cause crashes or broken hashes.

    On this line it's adding the coins as an int to the char* "-", instead of first converting it to std::string. I did some very basic testing and that's definitely not working properly and can cause weird issues.

    You'll probably have to compile a c++ program to get the same behavior and replicate the hashes.
