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
metamod.dll compiled: Dec 28 2003, 19:43:05 Eastern (msc optimized)

[edman747]

hello, yes I did check that. the one with the svencoop install crashes.

will crash with the official svencoop map from (pak0 install with hlsp support)
and also with the official svencoop map from the svencoop30_hlsp_update.

current version of rcbot 1.441_beta, and metamod 119p28
sys_ticrate 50, 66, 100. all crash

for at least the last year, although more likely since the release of svencoop3.0 and it's hlsp_update.
anyone who has tried to use the hlsp maps from svencoop3.0 knows for a fact that some of the maps are buggy. that is what the uberfix (sc3_hlsp_enabler) fixes.
mostly typos in entity names causing c2a5f to crash. trigger_changlevel commented out in c2a5b
and typos in the svencoop3.0 install script not allowing c1a0a to be extracted from the half-life.gcf
a few bad spawnpoints were fixed and a nextmap command is included in each .cfg file that did not have one.
this map c1a4i has two spawnpoints adjusted, by the uberfix. zero other changes.

maybe someone would be willing to run hlds in the visual studio debugger and when it crashes save a memory dump. any good programmer should be able to follow the links back to their source code.

thx

thing is if its the sz_)getspace crash, thats an engine error, you won't be able to debug from it. That was an old bug / problem that HL had when running bots. Some fixes were thought up but some never worked, or caused more crashes. I could edit the bot again to remove clientCommand() calls to bots, since that was the problem apparantly but that caused crashes in different mods.

..or maybe install admin mod and set admin_bot_protection 1
