rcbot not compatable with metamod svencoop, SZ_GetSpace Options

[edman747]

hello,

rcbot not compatable with metamod. svencoop30 running hlsp map c1a4i
this map works fine with rcbot.dll in liblist.gam

Fatal Error-Dedicated Server
SZ_GetSpace: Tried to write uninitalized sizebuf_t: ???

see attached console pic

rcbot_mm.dll v1.441_B

hello, still crashing. c1a4i, rcbot, metamod, svencoop.

A question about: How to locate an error that happens when loading a map?
running svencoop3.0 on a standalone dedicated server.
when loading one of the half-life single player maps, c1a4i
the following error, pops up:

Fatal Error-Dedicated Server
SZ_GetSpace: Tried to write uninitialized sizebuf_t: ???

hlds installation up to date win32 server engine version 30 half-life base content version 8
this occurs when using rcbot 1.3, 1.4 beta and metamod 118,119, 119p28 or metamod-p

this map is a valve map extracted from the half-life.gcf with some entity mods by the sven team.
also crashes with the original unmodified valve map.
on two different server hardware configurations. XP Home, p4 2.8ghz, 1gb ram. also XP Pro p3 1.0ghz 512mb ram

typically using serverdoc to monitor the hlds server. it will relaunch the hlds server using sdautomap when it crashes.
serverdoc is loaded at boot time as a scheduled task, no need to login to XP.
can stop, start, restart with different command line options, via small builtin web server
hlds.exe -console -game svencoop -insecure -nomaster +sv_lan 1+map *sdautomap=c1a1*

map c1a1 is loaded at server startup. sometime later...
c1a4b loads, rcbot initializes, a bot is spawned. single handed, he kills the bad guys;
reaches the trigger_changelevel and beep! server crash. about 25 seconds tic by serverdoc relaunches the half-life server
automatically loading the last map. c1a4b loads and the story repeats.
even when no bot is spawned. one or more players fight to the end of the level and beep! server crash

don't know how to get more information on what is causing the crash.
perhaps some interaction between the server loading the map and rcbot initialization with metamod and svencoop3.0

notes:
there is no crash when using the standalone version of rcbot.dll in the liblist.gam without metamod
also, no crash on first the run. fresh install of rcbot with rcbot_mm.dll in the metamod plugins.ini
plus, listening server does not crash.

if anyone has an idea of how to get more information about what is causing this crash I would be willing to listen. thank you.

to get a copy of this map you can download
the sc3_hlsp_enabler.rar from
http://www.uberfix.zoomshare.com

maybe someone could run hlds in the visual studio debugger and when it crashes save a memory dump
