Ack server crash

[r00k]

got a weird error with just a simple op code msg

STOREP_F 213(?] 730(B546L542) 0.0

any idea what this would be?

im thinging its accessing a pointer to a client entity thats invalid,
ie. game ends and its in the process of handling data in a link list as a player disconnects ??

:O

please do three things.
1: give us the sourcecode for the function this occurs in.
2: tell us which qccompiler you are using
3: tell us which engine you are using (not really the engine's fault, but helps for debugging).

I believe this most commonly happens as the result of a mismatched type in a function call somewhere, so make sure you fix the warnings your qcc gives (and if it doesn't give any, use frikqcc or fteqcc).

I'm using Frikqcc, mostly i didnt report the fucntion cause it didnt report on in the error. Though after some tinkering, i have found it to crash again (tonight) in an inbeded linklist like

Code: Select all

xteam = boss.next_team;
while (xteam !=world)
{
    player = xteam.next_player;
    while (player !=world)
    {
       blah blah
       player = player.next_player;
    }
    xteam = xteam.next_team;
}


i have changed the while to a "for" loop maybe that will help
as the while got runaway loop errors, but only when xteam players were > 5, not sure why cause quake (proquake) crashes after 100,000 iterations for runaway loops

Are you sure both linked lists were set up properly? Might help to bprint some info on each iteration and do a condump.
