ArtifeX Posted July 26, 2002 Posted July 26, 2002 I have run across a reproducable bug that appears to be related to the qvm compiler. I started with a pristine, fresh install of jk2, then upgraded to 1.04, then unzipped the toolset into the gamedata directory. After following the instructions in the readme file, I compiled the source (with no changes whatsoever) into a .qvm by running the game.bat in the code/game directory. I started up a simple duel listen server with myself and a bot as the only clients, and turned off force powers. I was able to play a round (with the duel limit set to 1) just fine: no bugs. But after I killed the bot and the map tried to restart, I got a windows error saying that some instruction had tried to access some memory somewhere and it said it couldn't be "read", though I have gotten that it can't be "written" as well. On a hunch, I compiled the .dll files with MSVC++, moved them into my mod directory, deleted the old vm file, and ran the game with the same setup. No bug. Map restarted just fine after the first kill. I have repeated this many times with no changes. I simply cannot have the map changed by a qvm mod and not crash. I've sent the apparently bad .qvm file to someone else to test, and he got a more verbose answer that said that the "worldspawn was not the first entity". Does anybody have any clue as to what's going on here? Keep in mind, I changed not one single line of code before compiling the .qvm. The only explanation that appears to be left is that I have either improperly compiled the .qvm, or my settings for the compiling process are incorrect somehow. Help's appreciated.

Tchouky Posted July 27, 2002 Posted July 27, 2002 did you pack the vm in a pk3 ? you should ! don't forget the path : vm/game.qvm vm/cgame.qvm vm/ui.qvm

I have no idea why that would be any different from running a regular .qvm out of the vm directory. It says in the readme that i can run just the vm, but i guess not.
