ALRIGHT!! WOO!

Okay... now, I got

Unhandled exception in hlds.exe (HPB_BOT.DLL):0xC0000005: Access Violation



now, VC++ has traced the code to... (i couldnt figure out how to enable the freakin' line numbers)

bot.h


CODE
void UpdateAngles ( void )
{
 CBotSquad *pSquad;
 dataStack<CBotSquad*> tempStack = m_theSquads;

 while ( !tempStack.IsEmpty() )
 {
  pSquad = tempStack.ChooseFromStack();

  ******pSquad->UpdateAngles();*******
 }
}


That's what it has highlighted as the error. Now, theres a tempStack thing down here with a bunch of crap in a heirarchy under it, and I don't know if its useful, or how to save it so I can upload it here.

There's a bunch of crap under it and I don't know whats useful and whats not. So what I'm gonna do is just leave VC++ open until you get back to me about it, and I'll pull out any relevant data you need.

!edited

rock on!

Now I'll just add some error handling for that... soon smile.gif

you can always try it youself, change the changeAngles function to look like this, see if it still crashes.

CODE

void UpdateAngles ( void )
{
?CBotSquad *pSquad;
?dataStack<CBotSquad*> tempStack = m_theSquads;

?pSquad = NULL;

?while ( !tempStack.IsEmpty() )
?{
? try
? {
? ?pSquad = tempStack.ChooseFromStack();
? ?
? ?pSquad->UpdateAngles();
? }

? catch ( ... )
? {
? ?// Arghhhhh

? ?m_theSquads.Remove(pSquad);
? ?tempStack = m_theSquads;
? }
?}
}


Crash recovery and not crash avoidance sad.gif I don't know where to start to avoid the problem as I don't exactly know whats happening, I'd really need to witness it myself tongue.gif I ran rcbot in NS in WON yesterday for a considerable amount of time without crashing before I quit myself.

I got the code changed, and I'm compiling it, but for some reason, at the end of the compile, it says...

Error executing c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe

then one i dont care about, it couldn't copy the DLLs to some folders, so i have to move it myself... a terrible duty to do!

Hehe yeah, thats why I wasn't caring too much about it.

And I decided to rough in the front end I was considering making, and I have no idea how to upload files here, so I just moved it over to my webserver, here it is...

Try this DLL file, I've made a few changes on how to possibly prevent the exception altogether, Its probably happening because you a rerunning a server with people joining and leaving, and bots are keeping track of these even when they leave which can cause problems.

I've also made a few improvements to the squad stuff, so that the bots rejoin the squad if they lose sight of it and see the squad leader again.

this is a win32 metamod debug dll rcbot file

ps: like the front-end, nice ideas tongue.gif

ideas: tongue.gif For bots "fav team" & "fav mod" etc you could have a list box/combo box (whatever its called) and choose Natural selection which will put 1 in etc...

I will, I just came up with the stuff as a roughed-in thing so I can debug it easier at first.. Any information that'll be limited to a certain amount of options will be dropdowns... and I need to post another topic somewhere about features of the bots that totally need to be implemented tongue.gif

oh god lol.. it crashed again... it was around 9 hours it stayed up, there was some problems with ns_lost causing some crap, so I took that out, i dunno what the crap is wrong with that computer, i really really hate it.

but, i do have to format it, ive got to put in new harddrives and put windows 2003 server on it... I got a lan party next saturday the server has to be up and working for.

i wouldnt doubt all these crashes are due to be being a retard somewhere and doing something wrong... user error accounts for some odd 99% of the bugs out there!

we at least it lasted longer than 10 mins tongue.gif Might aswell notify me of anymore crashes in the bot DLL file so I can fix them all. As I don't run a server with the bots I probably don't get these crashes.

I run a full time bot server but nothing seems to show up in the logs as to "why" it crashed. Only that the log was cut short. I have noticed that with rcbot on, the server is pulling down lot of memory and it just keeps taking more and more the longer the server stays open.

CPU usage seems to be well enough controled on my 2ghz P4 using on average about 45% when the server is full but memory usage sometimes hits to over 25mb per map. Mind you, HLDS only has the default compacity for 32mb. Correct me if im wrong but 25mb of ram is a lot more then a 10 player server should be using.

memory is cheap, CPU is expensive tongue.gif (Space - time tradeoff smile.gif) (32 mb is noth ing these days anyway tongue.gif) remembr you've got virtual memory the size of your hard-disk too practically. hehe
