Hello,
I've been spending the last 6 months on and off on bug fixing. I've boiled it down to a few, which I cannot fix.
They might both be connected with me doing something wrong with sys_malloc and sys_free commands, but I have no idea how to find this. Some of these issues I have posted before, and you offered me that I could send you the code and you would have a look at it. I did not do it at the time, because I had too many other things to finish before getting to these bugs. Does that offer still stand?
1)
posPredictDummy = NULL;
ship = NULL;
logNewMessage("loading level:",gameLog,OFF);
logNewMessage(level, gameLog, OFF);
sys_marker("ls0");
level_load(level); //loads the level which has been loaded on the server
sys_marker("ls1");
camEnt = NULL;
wait(1);
sc_shadows_sunLookAt = ent_create(NULL,nullvector,NULL); //important: if missing, shadeC will move random objects next round.
wait(3); //wait until the level is loaded
sys_marker("ls2");
if(disconnectedFromServer) return;
Here, I sometimes get a "crash in level_load 'ls0'". As I have no idea what exactly level_load does, I have no clue how to fix this.
2)
The second one is a crash in ent_remove. This happens in 3 (rather unrelated) functions, seemingly at random.
First example (crashes in se6):
void shieldEffectEnt()
{
var randID = random(9999);
logNewValue("shieldEffectEnt", randID, debugLog, OFF);
logNewValue("my:", my, debugLog, OFF);
sys_marker("se0");
set(my,PASSABLE);
vec_set(my.pan,vector(you.lastHitPan, you.lastHitTilt,0));
my.flags2 |= UNTOUCHABLE;
my_playsound(my,shieldHitOGG, volumeMain*volumeFX*500*soundBrightFlash);
sys_marker("se1");
my.parent = you;
//sc_ent_shieldImpact(my, getShieldEffectColor(you.shieldEffectType), 15, 1);
var timePassed = 0;
while(my != NULL && you != NULL && timePassed < 8)
{
sys_marker("se3");
timePassed += time_frame;
vec_set(my.x, you.x);
sys_marker("se4");
wait(1);
}
sys_marker("se2");
logNewValue("shieldEffectEnt", randID, debugLog, OFF);
logNewValue("my:", my, debugLog, OFF);
sys_marker("se5");
if(my)
{
sys_marker("se6");
ent_remove(my);
}
sys_marker("se8");
}
Second example of ent_remove crash (crashes in w31):
weaponArray[userID*7 + you.upgradeType - 1] = NULL;
sys_marker("w29");
if(snd_playing(lightningGunSound[userID])) snd_stop(lightningGunSound[userID]);
sys_marker("w30");
if(snd_playing(machineGunSound[userID])) snd_stop(machineGunSound[userID]);
sys_marker("w31");
if(you) ent_remove(you);
sys_marker("w32");
}
The third problem is that the debugger crashes on me with an error message "out of memory". I have 4 gigabytes of RAM (can use about 3.1 of that, since my PC is a 32 bit machine) and my game takes a max of 1, usually. This one we have talked about before, and you asked me to send you my code.
P.S. I use Version 7.86.6
Edit: Here's what I've tried regarding the ent_remove problem:
