server crash bug - Miagi - 11-21-2004

It's the white disc fix.. Evil_admin proved it by taking the fix out and running rico which didn't crash, he put the fix back in, crash...

I don't see anyone else volunteering to help.


BTW I figured out why those discs were staying, when I went to paste the reconnector fix into the code it didn't work right :wacko:


server crash bug - Miagi - 11-21-2004

I was looking and saw groupinfo, it looked like it sets the players colors or something.

Near the top of Cdiscarena they have this...

Code:
// Spawn all the players in the round
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;for ( int i = 0; i < (m_iPlayersPerTeam * 2); i++ )
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{
 CBasePlayer *pPlayer = ((CBasePlayer*)(CBaseEntity*)m_hCombatants[i]);

 if ( pPlayer )
 {
 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;// make sure the player's groupinfo is set the arena's groupinfo
 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;pPlayer->pev->groupinfo = pev->groupinfo;

 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;// is the player an observer?
 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if ( pPlayer->IsObserver() )
 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{
   SpawnCombatant( pPlayer );
 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}

 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;// Remove any powerups
 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;pPlayer->RemoveAllPowerups();
 }
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}

I'm going to try and see if that will work. This is what I have so far to see if we can fix the white disc fix.


Code:
// Freeze everyone until there's 3 seconds to go
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if ( m_iSecondsTillStart == 3 )
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{
 for ( int i = 0; i < (m_iPlayersPerTeam * 2); i++ )
 {
 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;//white disc haxxx...
 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;// if the player is "dead" during the round countdown,
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CBasePlayer *pPlayer = ((CBasePlayer*)(CBaseEntity*)m_hCombatants[i]);
 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if(!m_hCombatants[i]->IsAlive() &amp;&amp; pPlayer->m_bHasDisconnected != TRUE )
    &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; pPlayer->pev->groupinfo = pev->groupinfo;

 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;// end hax


 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if (m_hCombatants[i])
   ((CBaseEntity*)m_hCombatants[i])->pev->maxspeed = 320;
 }
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}

K so that didn't work. Was kind of hard to create the white disc though. But with the above coded added I believe did change something.

Grits helped me test it, she finally got the white disc but when she did, I died(as if falling off a cliff onto the pad) and she fell. :blink:


server crash bug - Pique - 11-21-2004

use rc_2v2 for whitedisc....or another teamplay map...and whitedisc will ALWAYS happen on teamplay maps (unless you use the spectate command)...when teammates get whitedisc its the same thing as if a 1v1 got whitedisc, and you will understand why they get whitedisc....


server crash bug - GRITS - 11-21-2004

maybe all the computer guys could hash it out on irc.... I know when .asm first fixed it he said it was a 'quick fix', I am thinking he understands the code enough, that if he has time maybe he could make it a more stable fix instead of trying to fix a fix.
does that make sense?:wacko:


server crash bug - Miagi - 11-22-2004

Browsing alittle more I noticed a &quot;null&quot; check.. I can't remember if when in DM, when you go to spectate people and you switch who you are spec'ing, if there is sometimes a missing person and in place of the name is NULL.

If thats true then maybe in arena, the asm fix is trying to spawn that NULL...

I do know that
Code:
pPlayer->StopObserver();
Stops the floating bug that is caused from respawning.

I'll be running a server(won't be able to play hl2 :() for awhile, so if you see &quot;Miagi Test Server&quot; up try and get people to join, only can put up 4 slots as I'm only on adsl.

I'll be trying this code.
Code:
void CDiscArena::CountDownThink( void )
{
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;// Freeze everyone until there's 3 seconds to go
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if ( m_iSecondsTillStart == 3 )
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{
 for ( int i = 0; i < (m_iPlayersPerTeam * 2); i++ )
 {
 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;//white disc haxxx asm...
 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;// if the player is "dead" during countdown and they are not NULL respawn
     

 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CBasePlayer *pPlayer = ((CBasePlayer*)(CBaseEntity*)m_hCombatants[i]);

 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if( m_hCombatants[i] != NULL &amp;&amp; !m_hCombatants[i]->IsAlive() )
           
 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{
   pPlayer->StopObserver();
   pPlayer->Spawn();  
 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}
   
 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;// end hax

As far as 2v2...
This little image says it all...:blink:
It looks like its following arena's 1v1 rules where if theres a match in progress remove them from the arena, make them spectate that arena. Then it looks like it just respawns them if its the same &quot;match&quot;.


server crash bug - evil_admin - 11-22-2004

Miagi,

Can you paste all of the code for the CountDownThink() method and I will compile it and try it also.

thanks,

server crash bug - Miagi - 11-27-2004

At first I wondered if it was even entering the whitedisc fix but it is because I put a console print in when it goes through the if and it does enter the &quot;if&quot;

Don't know about you, but to me it seems to be working. :bg:


server crash bug - evil_admin - 11-27-2004

I haven't been in the server when conditions fit the &quot;white disk&quot; but then again, it happened rarely for me before any fixes. I can say that since putting in your code and running the arena map, I have had no crashes where I was getting several crashes per day with .asm's fix.

Has anyone tried to force the white disk scenario on your server or on mine?


server crash bug - Miagi - 11-28-2004

I tried a few times, don't know why because for the life of me I can not create white disc with or without the fix in arena. I fell exactly before the timer started and I respawned immediately in your server.


server crash bug - Miagi - 02-11-2005

Evil_admin sent me the linux source and I put the above fix in, except I removed pPlayer-&gt;StopObserver();. I have it compiled and running on my DTC server which I will leave as arena for awhile.

If you could test for white disc that would be great.

Again this is to stop arena from crashing while providing a white disc fix.


server crash bug - Miagi - 04-01-2005

Don't know if anyone noticed, but the crash bug has been fixed along with the map vote plugin, so voting works.


server crash bug - GRITS - 04-02-2005

naw people only notice when something goes wrong not when it is actually fixed:)

Thanks miagi I appreciate it and so do others, they just dont realize it yet:thumb:


server crash bug - Miagi - 04-02-2005

Don't forget evil_admin, who was nice enough to send me his converted linux source files. Otherwise I would've been tearing my server apart with my bare hands from &quot;trying&quot; to convert the files myself.


Is that an oxymoron? Evil, nice.


server crash bug - NITRO! - 04-02-2005

hehe, I noticed the voting works:P
Thanks Miagi you are our god:thumb:

EDIT: Ok then is Evil_Admin our goddess:lol:
