Crash: m_Bots[slotOfEdict(pEdict)] is a bad pointer Options

[JRob]

I just compiled rcbots2 and tried it out. After a compile of minutes, it crashes at the same place.

I pinpointed it to bot.cpp line 2156.

CBot *pBot = m_Bots[slotOfEdict(pEdict)];

if ( pBot->inUse() )

pBot was 83 which is obviously a bad value. I did a quick hack to return NULL if pBot is less than 1000. It hasn't crashed in over an hour yet.

Here is the stack trace.

CBots::getBotPointer
CFlagEvent::execute
CBotGlobals::playerByUserId
CBotEvents::executeEvent
KeyValues::GetName
CRCBotPlugin::FireGameEvent
... some other stuff

need to find out what 'event' it is crashing on (FireGameEvent) , its obviously returning a wrong player id within the game event, or the event has been changed and needs to be updated

i.e. the error is in a sub class of CBotEvents::executeEvent , need to find out which one and then find out the proper structure of that game event, (by using rcbot debug event 1) see what information it has and in what order

[Cheeseh]

got a feeling that CFlagEvent::execute {
int player = pEvent->getInt("player");

edict_t *pPlayer = INDEXENT(player);

CBot *pBot = CBots::getBotPointer(pPlayer);

}

is part of the problem. player is bad.

can you run a game with no bots and just use 'rcbot debug gameevent 1' (or maybe its 'rcbot debug event 1') , and look out for the Flag event in the console when u either , pickup a flag, capture or drop. Can you remember when it crashed? Was it when a bot picked up the flag /dropped / or captured? Anyway the console information would be good. Cos my TF2 is still downloading from steam , I can't check myself right now....
