Help! My alarm crashes the game!

[Gold]

ok did as ya suggested and still no work,,,heres what the console is saying

if($player[local.1].alarmprep != 1) (global/alarmer_mp.scr, 65)
if($player[local^

^~^~^ Script file compile error: Couldn't parse 'global/alarmer_mp.scr'
ScriptMaster::GetScript: Script 'global//alarmer_mp.scr' was not properly loaded

ok when i walked over to a alarm and hit the e key to activate it i got the following error in console,,which tells me at least its trying to work hehehehe

thread global/alarmer_MP.scr::alarm_player_reset (maps/m6l2a.scr, 279)

which that got me excited believe it or not,,lol,,,man i would really have got excited if alarm would have soundecd off

ok just to make sure i have the alarm script correct now,,i will post it once more

ok i went back and used the original script and bsp just to make sure wasnt my script ,,,,also the only way i can see these msg is to have the exe set to +set developer 1 ,,if i set it to +set developer 0 i see no errors in the console,,,dont know if that makes any difference but thought i would tell ya anyways,,,ok with original bsp and script ,,original bsp meaning it loads all the ai,,i have other bsp files for all m maps that load no ai soldiers..ok with original bsp and script with the exception of using your alarm.scr i get the following,,

Remember I warned you about typo's well you found it or should I say them. Use notepad and do a replace . Replace local.1 with local.i you need to replace all of them in the script .

if($player[local.1].alarmprep != 1)

should be

if($player[local.i].alarmprep != 1)

[Gold]

ohhh my Gosh it works!!!!!!!! Even without the botS loaded!!! Man ya hav to be the greatest scripter on earth!!! How i can ever repay ya for fixing this i have no idea lol. Thanx,,,thanx,,,thanx hehehehe
Gold<<mohha freak

[Gold]

ugggg everything seems to work fine but when i took it online it crashed the server with this error ERROR: Level::AllocEdict: no free edicts,,,this only happens when other players have entered the server,,,also another thing that seems to come along with this is ya have to restart the server sometimes because ya cant cut the alarm,,,once ya restart the alarm works fine once more for awile,,,but then like 8 minutes or so into play it crashes the server with the above error,,,the error was hard to catch because when it crashes most the time it just freezes spearhead,,,the one time it didnt freeze the error was caught,,,any futher help on a fix i would appreciate greatly,,,because the guys playing seem to love the working alarms lol
Gold<<mohha freak

[Gold]

ok maybe this will futher help ,,i set developer back to 1 ,,and went back into game,,,ok everything was fine ,,,now when i tripped the alram,,alarm sounded and then my fps dropped rapidly ,,,i then after quickly cutting the alarm back off checked the console and seen this,,,

is it possible that these errors are causing the error i stated in post just before this one??? hope this helps:))
Gold<<mohha freak

[bdbodger]

The no free edict error is when too many entities are in the map and the game runs out of space or memory . That error is why I fixed the global/alarmer.scr to begin with it way generating too many script origins because of the sytax difference between mohaaa and spearhead . I am not sure why you are still getting that because the fix worked in single player originally . I looked at the script and don't see anywhere in it that will cause too many entities to be spawned .

As for the error in the alarmer_mp.scr I think I found it .

Add the local.player after the words thread alarmsounder . The problem was that I didn't pass that to the alarmsounder thread . oops

Code: Select all

alarmgenner local.player:

	if (level.alarm_nosound == NIL)
		thread alarmsounder local.player

[Gold]

i think ya about there hehehehe,,,, now the alarm doesnt crash the server anymore:))) theres still a error which i post in just a sec,,,but also wanted to explain to ya whats happening,,if i start the server i can turn alarms off and on ,,works like a charm,,,but when second player enters server if alarm is on at the time and he tries turning it off ,,he cant turn it off,,,at this point neither can i,,,im hoping the following error is related to the above described circumstances,,then ya could kill to birds with one stone,,lol,,,heres error

ok let me clarify a earlier statement which may help more,,,when other players enter the server the switch still operates correctly for every player its just the sound stopping doesnt work,,,opppsss ,,should have told ya that earlier,,i sorry lol
Gold<<mohha freak

i could live with the above errors which disappear in devoloper mode 0 and since it isnt causing the server to crash now,,,just wish the sound would stop when every player cuts the switch off hehehehe

[bdbodger]

looks to me that it was your turn for a typo .

$local.player should be local.player no $ in that . It is a local variable it is local to the thread it is in . There is no entity with a targetname of $local in the game and a key of player there is however a variable called local.player .

[Gold]

testing it out,,,no console errors yaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!! I let ya know how it goes,,,,thanx once more for ya desire to help a noob like me,,ya persitence and patience,,,its ppl like ya that makes this forum the best on the net

i will do my best to explain this hehehehe,,,if i start server and not cut alarm on,,,second player joins everything works fine ,,to perfection,,was still getting some crashes but once i added the alarm sounds to a tiki serverside and removed them from the ubersound seems to have cleared that up,learned that good advice from the dog info lol,now if alarm is on when second player joins,,,the following syptoms occur,,,at times the alarm will quit working switch and all,,,other times the switch still works but when i cut off alarm i still hear faint alarm sound in the background,,same with other player if he cuts it off still hears faint sound,,if the other player cuts alarm on then leaves server its like the sound goes real faint,,,at that point i cut alarm off ,,still faint sound hehehe,,,,if same player comes back sound goes back to full,,now anytime theres a problem ,,if i pull down console and type,,,restart,,,everything starts working normal once more,,,seems like that the biggest problem is with players connecting or disconnecting when alarm is on,,if alarm is off when players connect once connected everything works normal,hope there is solution hehehehe,,

Did you remove the ai's from the game ? Maybe the best thing to do is write a new script .

[Gold]

yes all the ai is no longer in the maps,,,to remove them i just hexed them out of the bsp by changing them from human to suman,,,so no ai load,,which also means theres no later spawners as in original m6l2a:)) same thing for m4l3,,those 2 are the main ones i have been testing with
