Strange Crash

[cavedude]

PEQ has seen this exact crash for years, and others very similar to it also calling Mob::CheckWillAggro. So you aren't alone Mort. However, in our case it's a once weekly thing and not as common as you're seeing. Derision's latest commit might actually help this some, the crash he corrected is in the same realm. Though, he worked with quest::depopall, and this crash has been happening to PEQ before that function even went in.

For this particular crash, you can find out what zone it occured in by executing:

gdb ./zone <core file name>
<snip>
(gdb) frame 6
#6  0x0810bc19 in main (argc=142145976, argv=0x9) at net.cpp:473
473                                             if(net.group_timer.Enabled() && net.group_timer.Check())
(gdb) print zone->short_name
$1 = 0x8431068 "potactics"
(gdb) frame 1
(gdb) print name
<should print client name involved in crash>
(gdb) print iOther->name
<should print mob name in involved in crash>

If the zone and mob name are fairly consistent, it may give you somewhere to concentrate on, e.g. any quest .pl files that mob is involved in.

Ok this is what i got back for one of the crashes

Alright well Muffinbut is his main char and Harry is his Alt..

what it's telling me is that you are not seeing the faction hits message
and when you con the mob it's should tell you if your friend or foe.
like i stated before missing files this could fall on the server side not the
client.

you read books i read machine language!

[KingMort]

No i don't read books

But anyway what I did last night was cleaned up all of our Useless factions and faction_entries there was a ton of them not even in use and I haven't seen this crash since then.. I hope that I fixed it doing this but not posative..

As for the maps thing I will have to check into that but i'm pretty sure we are all caught up on all the maps..

Does some one have a direct SVN addy for me to download all the maps ?
