RW bug Lockup on CTF

#1 i also have the newest version, and when i start a Multiplayer, and fight with axe or sword against an other player, my game crash. no errormessage or logmessage.

#2 Hmm, havent come across either of those.

The flag capture bug, does it happen with either flag?

I'm sure paul can look into the axe/sword bug.

Its a pity they both are crash bugs.. maybe it'd be useful for us to get recordings from these systems, see if we can reproduce the same thing?

Phil.

#3 Actually, it would be more useful if they made a journal of it instead.

Create a shortcut to the realmwars demo. Right click the shortcut and go to properties. In the targets listing add -jRecord "rwcrash" and then click ok.

Reproduce the crash and then after you crash you should see a file called rwcrash in the game folder. Post that on the net or send it to someone who maybe able to help you.

#4 Sure thing I will when I get the chance. BTW I don't think it matters which flag but I will check.

#5 I heard about the flag problem and checked it myself, and I never had any problems.

#6 Both of you, is this with the patch or with just 1101?

There was a crash bug before with the sword and axe, it was caused by people missing some animation files. (I think that is the problem)

One thing to check is that when you install 1101, or install the patch over 1101, make sure the new files replace the old files. Some people have run into the situation where the old files are read-only and don't get overwritten.

I just tried CTF out, I can reproduce the flag problem on my machine. I suspect it is a problem with the 1101 patch, I will look into it, should be easy to fix.

#7 This is with the patch. (The CTF problem.) Do you still need me to do the jrecord thing. I don't know when I will be able to. My wife and I are on vacation and i'm spending time with her. :)

#8 I found and fixed the CTF bug. (I had a good idea of why it might be happening) I will upload a new patch soon that fixes it.

#9 I re-uploaded a fixed version of the patch. If you want just the fixed file, I also uploaded that to:

www.realmwarsgame.com/downloads/inventory.cs

That should be placed in rw/server/scripts.

Here at RW we pride ourselves on our quick service :)

In the next week or so we might have another patch that includes some new additions to melee combat, a few more interim interface tweaks (mouse wheel, misc bugs), and the spell-charging stuff. (As detailed in the magic doc) For that I will probably create an Elf2 class for testing purposes, so not to break the old magic system.

#10 Thanks for fixing that James =) I encountered that bug in the beginning of the chat last week and by the time I got my computer back up I had to leave (I had some unsaved stuff so I spent a while trying to unlock the machine).
