 Posted: Fri Apr 09, 2004 12:07 pm Post subject: MERVbot build 41 |
 |
 |
|
|
If I tell MERVbot build 41 to change arena, and change the arena myself, my Continuum client gets minimized and MERVbot gets terminated and leaves arena. What to do?
PS: I've never had a problem with an older version of MERV.

| dunno, never had that issue, check your subgame and biller messages if you use catid's biller. Also check to see what the bot says, somewhere along those 3 lines you'd be able to figure it out...

When you say "terminated", does it crash?

I can't look at what the bot says because it closes completely.  The subgame only says "Connection status read as terminated: Server" (my bot joins with the name 'Server').

Yes. Windows terminates it for memory access violation. (I don't know exactly what it says because I have a German windows version - I tried to translate it with 'memory access violation' - I don't know if that's 100% correctly)

Weird, I know a friend of mine's server (subgames) crashed because of that same exact error o.o

I'm sure Catid's software would not be this buggy. It has been out for a while.
Try re-creating your bot and see if that helps.

Re-creating? I downloaded the binary, not the source.

Catid, please debug your build 41. I told MERVbot to join the arena in 'spawns.ini' so I don't have to tell him to change the arena and if I don't tell him to change the arena, he doesn't crash.
_
But I needed a second kind of bot with the elim plugin to be in my elim arena. And now it crashes again:
Catid! Please fix your MERVbot and your Subbill 11j release! I can throw away my server without it!  Thanks!
Catid has to fix several bugs in his MERVbot!

| um... there is nothing wrong with merv and arena changes. I tested it out and read through the code. It probably is a plugin that you are using. Use the debug version of merv and see what it says when the error occurs

| I also can't really believe that Catid did something wrong while coding it. Catid is such a great programmer. I'm sure he tested every sub-module before he released his software.

Then stop saying it's bugged...
It's almost certainly a plugin causing the crash, and you can probably look at the MERV window before you click OK.
Use the debug version to get more crash info

It's not a plugin. Tried to load it with almost every plugin which exists. MERV's window doesn't tell anything about the crash.

Server Creating account for Server
|
After creating account for "Server" it gets terminated. The error message appears. And if I click on OK, the application window and the message window get closed.
The two plugins, which get loaded are "rampage.dll" for "Server" and "elim.dll" for "Elimhost".
I guess it's because my C runtime is very outdated. Maybe there is a newer one. Where can I download it? From Borland?

Why do you have any plugins loaded at all? Remove them all till it works.
And have you used the debug version yet?

Yeah have a look around the Borland site for them.

Without any plugins it connects and then disconnects immediatelly without any error message (so it doesn't crash). I guess this is a normal behavior since MERVbot without plugins won't do anything useful.

Yes it is. My mistake!
PS: The memory error has been solved (change arenas by changing spawn.txt and not !go commang) but the runtime error hasn't.
_
So I need a newer version of C runtime or my zone doesn't work.

I've downloaded a new runtime, and MERV crashes. 
My zone is down, without MERV it doesn't make sense. MERV manages Elims, Conquers, everything! Without MERV it's just like any other game. I think MERV is a great software. The idea is great! It's coded very well ... yes till this release 41. I guess it's also coded very well but it needs a version of runtime, which no one has.
Please please please, Catid. Make your build 41 work without the C runtime or include the runtime in your package or give the URL where I can download the correct version of the runtime because I've tried so many versions (including the latest) and with every version it crashed.

OMG, Please! If you respect Catid give some thought into the fact that it's your problem not Catid's!
Tons of other people use MERV41 (like me) with no problems with the !go command, the rampage plugin, and the elim plugin!
SSI, the best biller after SSC, uses SSB2 11j (albeit a modified version) and they don't have any problems!
Try posting your MERVBot.ini and spawns.txt up here and we'll take a look.

Isn't 192.168.0.1 your router address? It's always better just to connect to 'localhost'.
Also, have you tried running MERVBot_Debug?

192.168.0.1 ist the server-computer in my network. That's where I run the subgame2, billing-server and MERVbot (also some other server things for my LAN like DNSservice, FTPserver, webserver, proxyserver, PHPinterpreter and so on). I don't use a router to connect to the internet.
_
About the 'localhost' thing: I had a server system long time ago I think it was a DNAS (distributed network audio server) but I can't still remember. I tried to connect to 'localhost' because there were plugins which connected. I also tried loopback (127.0.0.1) and it didn't work. With most of the programs localhost and loopback work but there they didn't so I decided to always identify the computers in my LAN with the exact IP address (also not with the computer names).
