Properly compiling RCBot2 Options

[Lambda]

I've been trying to recompile RCBot2 from the SVN since my servers crashes after 10 minutes with bots, I've checked the minidump and it crash at a random location of the RCBot dll so recompiling it should give me a new dll and a pdb so it will be easy to fix.

The problem is, i've recompiled the project under VS2008 (only in release, i cant get around the linker errors in the debug version), but when i load the DLL in the srcds (i'm using dedicated server) the server just hangs and crashes in about 20 seconds after the total hang and i have no idea why is this happening.

Im using the same OBSDK as i use for my metamod plugins which works fine (The one reverse engineered from allied modders), so it shouldnt be a SDK problem.

Is this a problem related with VC2008? have anyone managed to properly compile RCBot2 under VS2008 or should i use 2005 instead?

I have 2 servers running, one on dustbowl and the other on badwater, the badwater one has been running for 10+ hours without a crash, the dustbowl crash every 4-5 hours, both servers with 12 bots.

The last time i've checked the dustbowl server was 2 humans playing on it.

Here you have the DLL + PDB + Crash dump so you can check it for yourself.

okay, make the following change,

CODE

bool CBotFortress :: wantToFollowEnemy ()
{
    IPlayerInfo *p;

    if ( !m_pLastEnemy )
        return false;
    if ( hasFlag() )
        return false;
    if ( getClass() == TF_CLASS_SCOUT )
        return false;
    if ( (m_iClass == TF_CLASS_SPY) && isDisguised() ) // sneak around the enemy
        return true;

    // incase enemy was a sentry gun, do a check here, make sure it is a player
    p = playerinfomanager->GetPlayerInfo(m_pLastEnemy);
    
    if ( p && p->IsPlayer() && (CClassInterface::getTF2Class(m_pLastEnemy) == TF_CLASS_SPY) && (thinkSpyIsEnemy(m_pLastEnemy)) )
        return true; // always find spies!
    
    return CBot::wantToFollowEnemy();
}

might explain why there are more crashes when there are engies playing, (I've also updated the SVN)
