Crash with "The Thieves"

[Professor Paul1290]

Whenever I try to start the FM called "The Thieves" it crashes as soon as it's finished loading.

 

I have not had any problems with any of the other FMs that I've tried, which so far include:

-The Crown of Penitence

-The Outpost

-The Parcel

-Too Late.

-Thomas Porter series

-No Honor Among Thieves series

-Thieves Den series

-Lockdown

-Return to the City

-Some others I can't remember off the top of my head right now...

 

 

Is there something different about "The Thieves" in particular that would cause it to crash like this? Again, this is the only FM I've had this problem with so far so I guess there must be something different about it.

 

 

EDIT:

Ok, it seems that "Trapped!" does the same thing for me. Not sure if it's related or not though.

Houston, we have a problem.

[jaxa]

I can confirm that "Trapped!" also crashes for me on "Mission Loaded... Please Wait."

Thieves crashes here as well...

 

Is there a reason for the extra complex "angle" in the info_player_start entity?

 

// entity 213
{
"classname" "info_player_start"
"name" "info_player_start_1"
"angle" "-1.4033418253411173e-014"
"origin" "-1374 -92 -244"
}

I have attached a conDump of a Thieves dmap

 

 

Also, the "script" directory in the PK4 was empty...

thieves_wrong.txt

"Trapped!" also crashes as above...

[nbohr1more]

Just random testing of a couple more oldies...

 

Crown of Penitence (Perfect)

 

Awaiting the Storm... same crash behavior

[greebo]

I can confirm the crash in SVN. It's atdm_ai_rat_small_5 which is running into a NULL when accessing memory.currentPath.

[grayman]

I've found and fixed this problem in SVN.

 

However, the problem causes the following missions to crash at the start with 1.04:

 

Special Delivery

The Thieves

Storm

Trapped

[nbohr1more]

I removed the "Patrol" spawnarg (it was only assigned to rats and one map only had one instance another was like three...) from all four maps and now they work fine in 1.04.

 

I am uploading to my dropbox account but if someone wants to beat me to the punch that would be great.

 

 

Edit: Nevermind... Here they are:

 

Trapped!

Any comments?

 

I don't think these fixes have any detrimental effect on the "rat ambience" for these maps?

 

Would these changes be acceptable to distribute officially?

 

[jaxa]

So is the real solution (considering it was a map breaker) to update these maps or push 1.05?

[nbohr1more]

I am speculating that the "Patrol" spawnarg was an attempt to get the rats to run around the maps properly. Now that Grayman has fixed most of the rat behavior, I don't think those heroics are required.

 

I didn't get a ton of test time but the rat at the beginning of Trapped wandered the prison just as cheerfully as I recall from before...

 

Is it really worth fretting over now?

[Springheel]

Would these changes be acceptable to distribute officially?

 

Better to fix the mod rather than change all the maps.

[New Horizon]

Is this crash supposed to be fixed in the latest SVN? Trapped is still crashing for me.

[New Horizon]

Loading now after compiling a new dll.

Source rev 4667 has the fix.

Source rev 4667 has the fix.

 

Awesome. Yeah, I wasn't sure if the fix was in the main trunk or only in source. Thanks Grayman. All the fixes are great. The AI just keep getting better and better.
