ASSS Questions - Some crash log

Post subject: Some crash log
got some crash, and I picked up some weird things in the log...
Is the pid unique zone-wide, or just arena-wide?
This AmAL dude entered pub, and apparently his pid is 4, and Ahmad's pid was 4 as well (see last line), is this normal?

Also... the last line stopped logging in the middle, and it was from the <core>... What could it be?

Most likely it's just my module that crashed for some reason, like not locking my linked lists, but this <core> thing makes me wonder...

Player id is arena wide.

Also, I had ahmad~ temporarily banned in everspace, for generating security warnings. So he might be messing with stuff again (I doubt he caused the crash however).
I also suggest loading funky:auth_vie (he kept trying to bring in mervbots). Then for every bot add "VIENames:botname = 127.0.0.1" ip address can also be "any".

You could try getting ASSS to compile with debug symbols. And installing GDB. If you are on linux it should automatically generate crash backtraces in the bt directory.
On windows you need to attach GDB to it's proccess id and wait for a crash. However windows GDB often leaves you with a useless backtrace.

It looks like Amal~, with pid 4 disconnected, and then several seconds later a new player, Ahmad~ connected and was assigned the unused pid 4.

On crashes usually the log file loses several lines and often parts of lines.

hmmm that's weird...
The way I remember it: When it crashed, Ahmad had been in for maybe 5-10 minutes...
But you're right, there's no 'Ahmad' connected anywhere before...
And if he's a source of crashes I'll take the required precautions tongue.gif

AhMaD~ is just someone of hyperspace's "playercontinuum"'s level of intelligence, and loves to load bots that dont even work into random small zones. he is the reason cz has allowvie set to 0.

he is quite harmless, and has no idea what hes doing.
Amal~ is almost definately an alias.



currently ASSS makes the incorrect assumption that every line ends with a newline character, which is why the log messages eat into the previous lines after a crash, or when you edit a conf file. the solution is easy and can be found in my files module.


keep in mind things run in parallel in ASSS, the core was logging when your ball module crashed the zone, dont confuse it for anything else.
