The Daily: Gimme some data points.
The Daily for Nov 19 2002:
If you check out TGE bug report 79, you'll see that I've set up a couple of servers to help verify TGE's current crossplatform-ness. They are both debug builds, from fresh CVS checkouts.
David C. tried to connect to these and got some surprising results. When trying to connect to the Linux server with his Mac client (built with Project Builder and gcc), his client crashed. Ditto when trying to connect to the Windows server with a Windows client (built with Code Warrior).
Apparently he's seeing the following trace in each case: GhostAlwaysObjectEvent::unpack calls Item::unpackUpdate which calls Item::setCollisionTimeout with a NULL argument. That NULL is bad biz.
Of course, David can successfully connect clients to any server that he runs, and I can successfully connect clients to any server that I run. Puzzling!
If anyone has a build of the TGE client that is up-to-date with the latest CVS commits, and you have a spare minute, try to connect to one of my servers and see what happens. Let me know in a comment here what kind of client you were using (platform, debug/release, build environment) and what happened.

Just FYI, tomorrow I'm going to completely tear up our player.cc code and start rewriting it basically from scratch. I mention this in today's update only so that I'll have a tiny extra motivation to actually do it... I've been putting it off for a couple of days while tinkering with more attractive problems.
