[fixed]changemap hang in 1.0.14

Post by **Enjay** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 19:27

If you use changemap mapXX when you are already on mapXX GZdoom will hang, requiring an alt-tab/ctrl-alt-del to get out. I think it maybe only happens with hub maps. I couldn't get the hang in Doom2, but it happened reliably on map02 of Hexen and a map for Doom2 that was part of a hub.

OK, so I know the obvious answer is "don't do that" but I did it by accident.

I think next time I'll upgrade ZDoom's SVN I playtest the new code more thoroughly myself...

Aww shit. This doesn't just happen with the console command, it totally breaks HUBs when you revist them. That screws over my plans for editing this week.

Also, don't know if it's related or not, I got this when I warped to a level in a hub (map06) and then walked over an exit line to take me to another level in the hub (map04). I think it might be different because this is not a repeat visit to the map. The new map (04) appears in view and then GZDoom crashes. However, visiting map04 by the other way in (from map03 - also in the hub) no crash happens.

The bug is fixed in SVN revision 200. However, due to some changes Randy made I will need a little time to adjust so before tomorrow evening I won't be able to upload a fixed version.

Oh, OK, well tomorrow evening is a quick fix at least. I can do some preparatory work and just avoid skipping around in hubs until then. Was the crash related? I just checked and it didn't happen with 1.0.13.

It had to do with Randy's inventory rewrite for Coop.

OK, thanks.

If it's any consolation, I've done my damnedest to try all the things that would previously reliably get the DevIL crash and I have not managed to make it happen. So hopefully that one has been put to bed too.

At least some good news.
