Confused ?

[GangsterAngel]

after compiling a client side DLL , with just 1 more event in cg_event.c .

when i tried the game the game just froze, with the Spawn beam frozen there.

 

so i then un-commented out the new event, so the client side is realy UNEDITED, but i still have the same crash!?

 

somthing to do with BG?

[razorace]

What do you mean by "freeze" Does the game actually crash or is it just getting stuck?

[GangsterAngel]

Getting stuck

( no error dialog box )

 

EDIT

BTW, this is as soon as the client spawns.

[ensiform]

i hope you added this event to bg_public.h and g_active.c.

 

if not g_active.c just bg_public.h

EV_DEBUG_LINE,
EV_TESTLINE,
EV_STOPLOOPINGSOUND,
EV_STARTLOOPINGSOUND,
EV_TAUNT,

 

it all compiles fine. and it has nothing to do with the 'event'. because like i said. it dosent work with a clean ( un edited )

client side compile.

 

it works with the baseline client DLL though.

 

so it must be somthing in BG ?

 

and also somthing i just descoverd. i can spawn a bot fine. but soon as i try to spawn it crashes.

[ensiform]

whats the point of using an event to open a menu?

 

also - if ur only loading the client dll thats your problem it wont know the event if u dont load the game side.

 

wouldnt something more like this be more useful:

 

 

void CG_HouseSettings_f( void ) {
if( cgs.clientinfo[ cg.clientNum ].team == TEAM_SPECTATOR ) {
	return;
}

CG_EventHandling( CGAME_EVENT_NONE);

trap_OpenUIMenu(UIMENU_HOUSESETTINGS);
}

 

 

...

 

{ "houseset", CG_HouseSettings_f },

[GangsterAngel]

obviously i know the EVENT would not work with the default client side DLL .

im not retarded lol .

 

but the GAME auctually WORKS with it.

and dosent work with the a un modded client dll

WHICH leads to the conclusion that its somthing to do with BG_

 

and absaloutly nothing to do with the Home menu event.

 

 

==================

 

If i compile the client side code ( with nothing edited ) .

the game FREEZES when the user spawns

 

if i run the game with the default Client DLL , the game dose not freeze

 

and the default client DLL should be the same as the un edited client compile

APART from the stuff in BG_

 

so , the problem must be in BG_

}

 

 

...

 

{ "houseset", CG_HouseSettings_f },

 

abd how exactly dose the

{ "houseset", CG_HouseSettings_f },

work?

 

ive never done anything with client side.

 

im predicting that the server sends the string "houseset" to the client?

and that function is called?

 

where do i place the

{ "houseset", CG_HouseSettings_f },

 

and how do i call it from the server?

[razorace]

Eh, it's only crashing when you use the compiled client side?

[GangsterAngel]

Eh, it's only crashing when you use the compiled client side?

 

correct.

eaven a un-eddited compile.

[ensiform]

you NEED to compile both sides and use both of the dlls not one or the other.

[MDN14]

I had this problem when I first started playing around with the code. I had the game, client, and ui .dll files and it would freeze up on e right when I tried to spawn. With no error message or anything, it would just freeze. But when I had only the game .dll file in my pk3, it worked fine.

[GangsterAngel]

eh , i know this.

 

i just used ONE to see which one was naffed basicly, and as i keep saying, it looks like a propblem in BG_

 

anyway , im TRYING to settup debugging, with help from u ensform on msn , my hero

[GangsterAngel]

The program 'C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy\GameData\jamp.exe' has exited with code 0 (0x0).

???

[ensiform]

ignore that, you probably exited without going to build-> stop debug or whatever.

[GangsterAngel]

i exited cuz it froze lol.

[stubert]

i assume that your using the "universal source"

 

it's actually bugged.. you have to rename a function in the client side that deals with calculating one of the angles in third person view, this is because it's name conflicts with an existing name of a microsoft C standard library function

 

 

in cg_view.c

 

line 88 or so

 

 

overwrite it with this

 

float FIXEDpowf ( float x, int y )

[stubert]

oh, and you have to find the one and only call to powf in that file and overwrite it with the changed name

[stubert]

you where on the right track, but if you change your compile type to final it'll force out the error that says powf is a redeclaration

 

i'm 90% sure this will fix your problem

[stubert]

scratch that

 

 

it's on line 488 and 575

[GangsterAngel]

diddent show error on the Final compile.

yes i am using univursal

 

powf function is in q_math.c

but is only called by the c_view.c in two places.

and it still crashes now i replaced "powf" with "FIXEDpowf"

[GangsterAngel]

ok, after talking to ensiform .

he said to take the function out of q_math and into c_view.

 

that seems to of worked!.

 

thanx alot both of u guys! , ur my heros seriously lol . thanx alot !

[razorace]

Meh, this is exactly why I didn't use the "Universal Source"

[zERoCooL2479]

What happens if I do not comment out the powf() function and compile it in Linux? Using the icc compiler, everything seems to work okay.

[razorace]

hold on, I think you only get the powf() redefinition error if you have conflicting compiler defines. See this thread for an example of that happening.
