I use bots a lot, and I need a Marine bot to go alongside Whichbot, so I remembered RCBot. I wasnt satisfied with the latest non-beta, so I tried the beta. Much better, but it crashes my server to desktop. In the log files it just cuts off the logs in midsentence, and theres no particular pattern except when the bots start joining a team from the ready room after a game ends. It also gives me this error every few minutes or so: BUG: GetClientRep(): No Rep for pClient (id: 0) Whats the deal? Thx for a great bot, BTW

BUG: GetClientRep(): No Rep for pClient (id: 0)

I suspect with an id of 0 it's talking about it cant get a reputation for a whichbot alien. Not Sure tho'...

Mine has done that for yonks tho' and I have been running whichbot alongside rcbot for nearly 10 Months. Yeh, it crashes all the time in exactly the same manner. I've disabled combat maps and it has increased the crash time to nearly 7>9 hrs now - sigh. Yeh, I know I should test with just rcbot or whichbot on their own to identify which is possibly causing the problem - however, the users will soon moan if one was missing, oh well

And the reason it doesnt crash for a while on NS Classic maps is because those games take longer, and it only crashes after a game when the bots start joining teams from the ready room. Try the non-beta, Gruuunt, if it works good then we have the same problem.

At least it went through one combat game without a crash. I'll keep an eye on it and see if it stays that way. BTW, it still gives me that GetClientRep error bug thing.

For some reason it asked me if I wanted to send the error reports late, but anyways heres what it said: AppName: hlds.exe AppVer: 4.1.1.1 ModName: HPB_bot.dll ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 0003ce46 Dont think that would help you, but dunno.

So if someone wants to go Aliens the next game for example, if he joins aliens after a game as soon as NS lets him, everything will go normally. If nobody joins a team, the bot seems to crash the server. EDIT ------ hmm... would a MiniDump (.mdmp) file help you at all cheeseh?

A memdump wouldn't be very helpful to me, I can't read they things :/ only Valve knows I add bots to the game first most of the time before joining without a problem... Attached image(s)

Member Group: Members Posts: 39 Joined: 26-July 04 Member No.: 362	I have my server automatically set to add 4 bots. Its fine for the first game, but after a game when everyone gets booted to the readyroom and starts joining teams for the next game, then it crashes, UNLESS a human player joins a team before any of the bots do. Other wise a few seconds after the first bot joins or something, it will just crash to desktop. And I dont run very many plugins: Metamod RCbot Whichbot Webmod (just got it) NSMapVote (just got this as well) AdminMod Blatt Rate Manager And a few modified versions of certain AM plugins that I made

I know that it doesnt have anything to do with Webmod or NSMapVote because it did the same thing before I got those, but I'll try to disable AM and Whichbot and see what happens
