Crowze´s server doesnt´seems to work.... mmm i want to play it! :D :p

It should work if you combine the 1.02 beta on combatmaps.de with the new files available here.

Any problems with crashing, please let me know asap -- otherwise I'm likely to go with this version (for at least the next two weeks :p )

just had a go on gd too. flew back and forth a few times ( in between darkbls capping me ). it seems to work fine :)

a side note regarding freons randomdeco:
their behaviour on- and offline differs. Online they dont disappear when a player exits their radius. Offline they do.
Maybe something todo with server crashing? If someone sees freon tell him about it too.

One question, shall I add all the "finals" or just the fixed2 in the zip version I want to upload at cm.de? Adding all would not make the zip that bigger.

Any version except the last (I hope) will crash servers online, so only include the FIX2 version please.

That said, it may be useful to wait another day or so just to make sure there's definitely no more problems (unless you're happy to upload a new version in due course ;) )

All seemed well last night with FIX2 version. However, the other maps did not crash all the time. I so hate issues that do not happen every time.

Fat M < Do you think you saw what was wrong before with the mover that could casue a crash? Or are we just trying a new way to move the chopper around in the hopes that the server crash is gone?

I think there's a good chance I fixed it, but also a small chance I introduced a new problem.

I'm off on Thursday; if there's been no crashes by then, I might as well call it officially released (again).

I am sorry to say that London crashed again. I was not on the server but NTKB was there and told me it was right after Mill run was taken and the Chopper landed.

I did not get the logging files before I restarted it, later I found out it was London and the Chopper bit. I guess I'll have to just get the logging files every time the server crashes (what a pain). I wished the log files was not over written each time you start the server/client.

Bah... then I'm all out of ideas.

In due course I'll test it on a LAN or something and debug it more thoroughly, but it may require a greater insight than mine to work out what's broken...

I tried to recreate this but after 5 tries of restarting the round I gave up. Perhaps it has to do with the number of players on.


FatM, could you remove the Chopper from London City before you leave? This way we will be able to tell that it is the mover 100%.

Please email me: richardATrominger3.com if you do this. Remove the AT and replace it with @

Thanks

Email on the way...

Edit: when it crashed, was anyone in the way of the chopper when it was landing, does anyone recall?

i've stood under the chopper when it was landing and i didnt die, i went through the bottom and stood inside the chopper. did that online too i'm pretty sure.
no crash then.

For the 2nd time now i would like to inform you that freon's randomdeco behaves differently online that it does offline.
Online the deco's seem to NOT disappear. Maybe that has something to do with the crash.

If removing the chopper doesn't stop the crash then i suggest removing the randomdecos for testing purposes.

Thanks for the info; btw I heard what you were saying before about Freon's decos -- sorry if I didn't acknowledge it. So far as I'm concerned, the Freon deco behaviour isn't so bad as to be a problem, and if it is, I'll let someone else fix it ;)

Since the crash happens only when the chopper is moving to the start of the attack run in LondonCity, and only started happening (I'm told) in Opfor's map when he imported my chopper from LondonCity, and since the log extract seems to blame the crash on a function in the INFm_OneWayMover class (which is used for the attack chopper and not in Freon's stuff), I had discounted Freon's stuff from the equation.

It's 99% likely to be the way I set up my chopper and/or wrote my matt_AttackChopperMover class. I will have another go at that when I get back in a couple of weeks.

I've noticed the problem with the decos yesterday while playing online, and I have NO idea why it does that :confused:
I've spent hours (if not DAYS) testing this online and offline, using the most pervert scenarii, and fixed many bug about the decos not disappearing when leaving the radius. It seems I've missed at least one case :hmm:

zeep, if you can find a pattern or something that's likely to cause the bug, don't hesitate. I may take the time to fix it.
