Summary0000975: CTD on game and mission start
DescriptionI'm getting occasional CTDs on game start right after pressing 'Run' from the launcher with new CVS r-builds, d-builds and 3.6.9 stuff functions without issues. Crahs occurs before SCP logo and loading screen are displayed. Also if 'plr' (to get playership object) is used with r builds game CTDs right after pressing 'commit' from briefing screen, again it functions nicely on d builds and all 3.6.9s
Additional InformationAs i couldnt run the debug build all i got was errorlog.txt..
Game start:
fs2_open_r-20060706 caused an Access Violation in module ntdll.dll at 001b:7c911e58.
Mission start with plr:
fs2_open_r-20060706 caused an Access Violation in module fs2_open_r-20060706.exe at 001b:00523e13.

Should be noted that i can start the game sometimes many times in a row ithout any issues but when CTDs on startup begin to happen i cant start the game at all regardless of the number of attempts to do so.
TagsNo tags attached.

Few additions/corrections... 'Couldnt run debug build' = I couldnt run debug build and CTD it. It run very smoothly and totally without errors/crashes/anything problematic.

Using Nvidia geforce 6600GT with both 84.21 and 91.31 ForceWare. AMD AthlonXP 2400+ and WinXP SP2.

If you don't use any cmdline options (particularly -glow and -spec) does it work then? I did notice an endless-loop and/or div-by-0 bug in the new map animation code and it's possible this is causing it.

I have a fix but I'm not all that happy with how it's (the new code in general) all working with some existing maps so I haven't added the fix to CVS yet. Will probably get with Goober about it all before I do anything. But, the main culprit is any model map that's an animation (one who's FPS is higher than the total number of frames), so if these aren't being used, or are disabled, and it's still crashing then I'm just referring to a different bug and you should ignore me. :)

Now this is odd... No change with different commandline parameters, but some difference with -mod options. All the mods that failed the test were using scripting. Now that i have taken longer look at those i still cant figure out what is wrong with them (scripting.tbl) as they function just as they should in CVS debug builds and in 3.6.9 builds but seem to cause instant CTD with r builds.

Seems like the odds of CTD on game startup are increased if i call a selfmade function in 'HUD' that is declared in 'GameInit'. But even that crash doesnt happen every time i try to recreate.

Can you attach a scripting.tbl which demonstrates the problem for me to test with?

Well, I've tried everything I can think of, but it works fine for me. This is with Linux builds of course, but that means this probably isn't a basic code issue and is more likely a build issue. Probably a compiler option.

Well the all the CVS builds i have tested have been compiled by redmenace.. so the compiler settings could well be the reason for the CTDs given that the 3.6.9 RC4 and all debug builds (debugs were totally unoptimized, right?) function nicely.

All of the regular builds are optimized for PIII processors except the Optimized builds that are are P4 optimized

Just noticed...

CTD on mission start if plr is used with 3.6.9 RC 5 (or actually 5.2 i think)

 But only in a release build right? RC5 had different compiler optimizations (since it's friggin slow otherwise) and that may be while it's now doing it too. Nothing different in the code there, just the optimizations. Unfortunately, I bet that's another one of those Windows-only bugs, which makes it very difficult for me to track down.

EDIT: Oh and post the errorlog.txt for RC5. I have to map for that build so I can try and track down where it's crashing.

Yeah.. Only r-builds crash. Debug 3.6.9 RC5 runs smoothly without any issues.

I'll upload errorlog.txt

I can't really tell what's going on there, WMC is considerably more qualified to figure this out. But, it just looks like a NULL ptr reference. The crash appears to be in the Position function, but without knowing how to properly debug the scripting code I can't offer much more than that.

I'll just assign this to WMC and maybe he'll take a look at it.

This didn't actually get assigned to WMC for some reason. Let's see if it works better this time...

The only thing I can see, is that if "plr" isn't set (ie because the player is dead), then you're in a world of hurt. There's no checking to see if the variable actually exists.

I ran a quick check in a debug build and everything seemed to work fine.

I should point out that doing HUD stuff with the "plr" variable is generally bad practice, since it means that if you switch out to another ship's view, it will still have the player ship's controls (rather than the ones for the ship you're viewing from)

 Well.. using "plr" was the only way to get reticles to function in outside view as "slf" became nil as soon i swapped to external view. And as i said earlier debugs work like dream with "plr", its the optimized r-builds (and i dont mean P4 optimized) that CTD.

To me (not-a-coder) it seems like some compiler setting cause "plr" to corrupt.. That is as i dont get any normal nil errors as would be expected if plr was not set but instead i get CTD on mission start, at the moment when scripting.tbl first time uses "plr" for anything.

Both debug and release builds are optimized.

I encountered something similar as the 'plr' iossue in game startup.

First one caused instant CTD on game start with r-builds, second does the same thing as the first one but runs smoothly. It seems to be like attaching particle effect to a weapon causes this CTD.

ts.createParticle(nullvec,nullvec,frametime,10,"bitmap",-1,false,anitexture,weapon)

ts.createParticle(weapon.Position,nullvec,frametime,10,"bitmap",-1,false,anitexture)

I don't believe this is an issue anymore.
