[r296] Crash when inventory item is used (GZDA)

Post by **Rachael** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 23:11

I'll test it out and see if I can get any crashes, if I do, I'll post it here.

EDIT: Got the mod, but it appears the map is not online. Are you sure it got posted?

Sorry, it should be on there now. It's called Toxicity.

The crash occurs when you press the "Toggle Fire Mode" key. The default key should be "F".

Well, I don't really know what to tell you. I DL's the mod and played right through the map with r300. No crash.

I assumed that all I needed was B72. However, the map had a lot of missing textures, so maybe I was wrong.

The only thing worth reporting are all these errors at the console that I get when loading your mod:

Did you try toggling the "Fire Mode"? With the "F" key? The map and mod itself are fine, but for some reason it crashes on this map.

I have never had it crash before until I tried this map with my mod, but lizardcommando also said he had a crash. His circumstances are unknown as he hasn't responded to my PM in the ZDoom forums.

Also, the error messages you discovered are pointing to inventory items that no longer exist. I haven't updated the Marines.txt in a long time, so that is probably why.

The missing textures is actually because he has a DarkenTextures.wad that goes with it. I can upload that, too, but it shouldn't have an effect on this crash.

No I didn't. However, I just have and insta-crash with, as you said, no GZDoom dialogue (BTW toggle fire mode was not bound to a key when I loaded the mod).

I don't have a debug build of r300 ATM, but I'll do that and see what happens.

eliw00d · Post by **eliw00d** » Tue Feb 17, 2009 0:13

Ah, I think I have it with a default bind in my current (unreleased) build. But that shouldn't have an effect on the crash, either. The decorate for the "Toggle Fire Mode" has not been changed since B72.

Don't know how much help this will be:

Pressing retry seemed to get things very stuck. I just heard a second or so of music repeating over and over and I did not get returned to GZdoom.

With Abort, I got this (eventually)

eliw00d · Post by **eliw00d** » Tue Feb 17, 2009 0:28

Thank you, Enjay! I hope this helps Graf.

Post by **Graf Zahl** » Tue Feb 17, 2009 0:35

I got there already myself. My guess is that you used an ACS library without declaring it as such. Since the source for it isn't there I can't confirm for sure but this looks like the typical result of it: an ACS string access error.

eliw00d · Post by **eliw00d** » Tue Feb 17, 2009 0:37

Hmm. Why would it only happen on this map, though? I can show you my ACS file if it will help pinpoint the target.

Post by **Rachael** » Tue Feb 17, 2009 0:40

Might be a mistake on this map only. From the way Graf says it, though, it sounds like a pretty common error.

Post by **Graf Zahl** » Tue Feb 17, 2009 0:52

Undeclared libraries only crash when 2 things combined are present:

1. The map uses ACS itself
2. The library contains strings.

ACS libraries contain special prefixing code for strings that's only generated when the #library directive is being used. As long as the map itself does not contain ACS this doesn't matter because no prefix means 0 which logically is the prefix of the map script. But here the library is script index 1 so the unprefixed string indices mean that the ACS interpreter is trying to get them from the map script.

This is a design flaw in the ACS loader (which should have refused to load such libraries) and I'm not sure if it can be fixed without creating much worse problems.

Post by **Graf Zahl** » Tue Feb 17, 2009 0:53

I just saw your script source. Problem confirmed I'd say. Add a #library directive at the top and the crash should go away.

eliw00d · Post by **eliw00d** » Tue Feb 17, 2009 1:01

Awesome! Thanks! But..

#library by itself? Or #library GZDA.o? Or what?

Post by **Graf Zahl** » Tue Feb 17, 2009 1:03

#library "name". In this case #library "gzda".
