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:

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
for ( int i = 0; i < (m_iPlayersPerTeam * 2); i++ )
{
 CBasePlayer *pPlayer = ((CBasePlayer*)(CBaseEntity*)m_hCombatants[i]);
 if ( pPlayer )
 {
 // make sure the player's groupinfo is set the arena's groupinfo
 pPlayer->pev->groupinfo = pev->groupinfo;
 // is the player an observer?
 if ( pPlayer->IsObserver() )
 {
  SpawnCombatant( pPlayer );
 }
 // Remove any powerups
 pPlayer->RemoveAllPowerups();
 }
}
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
if ( m_iSecondsTillStart == 3 )
{
 for ( int i = 0; i < (m_iPlayersPerTeam * 2); i++ )
 {
 //white disc haxxx...
 // if the player is "dead" during the round countdown,
 Â
 CBasePlayer *pPlayer = ((CBasePlayer*)(CBaseEntity*)m_hCombatants[i]);
 if(!m_hCombatants[i]->IsAlive() && pPlayer->m_bHasDisconnected != TRUE )
 Â
pPlayer->pev->groupinfo = pev->groupinfo;
 // end hax
 if (m_hCombatants[i])
  ((CBaseEntity*)m_hCombatants[i])->pev->maxspeed = 320;
 }
}

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:

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....

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:

Browsing alittle more I noticed a "null" 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 "Miagi Test Server" 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 )
{
// Freeze everyone until there's 3 seconds to go
if ( m_iSecondsTillStart == 3 )
{
 for ( int i = 0; i < (m_iPlayersPerTeam * 2); i++ )
 {
 //white disc haxxx asm...
 // if the player is "dead" during countdown and they are not NULL respawn
  Â
 CBasePlayer *pPlayer = ((CBasePlayer*)(CBaseEntity*)m_hCombatants[i]);
 if( m_hCombatants[i] != NULL && !m_hCombatants[i]->IsAlive() )
     Â
 {
  pPlayer->StopObserver();
  pPlayer->Spawn(); Â
 }
 Â
Â
 // 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 "match".

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

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

I haven't been in the server when conditions fit the "white disk" 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?

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.

Evil_admin sent me the linux source and I put the above fix in, except I removed pPlayer->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.

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

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 "trying" to convert the files myself.
Is that an oxymoron? Evil, nice.
