Vague debug log- need help!

[RPC]

So I'm off modding and there's this one error I keep getting but I have no clue why.
The point of the mod was to make some space-zombies, but I keep getting this error:

Code: Select all

program state: OnAnimate
program state: updating object behavior
obj class: CShip
obj name: Flooded
obj pointer: 2cf12e0
CStandardShipAI
Order: 14
m_State: 3
m_pDest: none
m_pTarget: 2cf0518 Ranx gunship (CShip)
m_pNavPath: none
game state: in game

Any thoughts why this happens?'
Here's a slightly outdated version of the mod: Ice-nine
The things I'm suspecting are the flood spore launcher and the <infest> event on the &ovFlood; overlay.

out of curiosity, is this an error you get immediately on load of the savegame, following the first crash?

[RPC]

No. It's when I use the zombie weapon to zombiefy the ships, then the crash happens "On Update" (Whatever that means) and always has a zombie ship referenced on the debuglog.
The crash happens about an hour or so into the game, depending on how fast the infection rate is. (5 minutes minimum and an hour max)

[shanejfilomena]

on update is a 30 to 60 tick of the AI : using anything too liberally that pushes that call can cause problems RE :

http://wiki.neurohack.com/transcendence ... ]=onupdate "The OnUpdate event for an item is called once every 30 ticks on every object that carries the item. Use this event sparingly because it will impact performance. "

and I still DO know where to get the answers!!!!...I just have a cluttered mind, srry. but that code 14 is still an auton message to the player: I get that when I am trying to do Auton ideas. ( unless it applies to other things as well, bjut its a common event when my idea of " progress" is crashing the game with trying complicated stuff I am not really any good at )

[RPC]

Shanej: Can you tell me what message 14 is? If it 'attackNearestEnemy, maybe the infected ship is trying to attack a ship that is already destroyed?

[shanejfilomena]

Code 14 is a message to the playership from an auton : most used when the auton replies to the player or tells the player a welcome message....or any message to a player ( i even got it when I tried to create the Morgan LTD Cruiser: but I fixed that by accident )

Many of your Messages in DySy don't work for me either I never get them but I know they are there : and what was "Up" with the Ranx Outpost creating on top of the Star? thats cheating for their team!!!!

[RPC]

yeah, For some reason, maybe 1% of the time, the station is created at the center of the star instead of the old location. Don't know, why, 'cause it works 99% of the time.

[Atarlost]

You could put a check for a location of nil and they would abandon the station ~1% of the time instead.

[RPC]

Surprisingly, it never returns nil-- I think that you can't recreate the station when a player has left a system, so it creates the station at the sun instead of where it normally is.
I'm trying to stop it from respawning when the player leaves, and resuming when the player returns.

Dunno if this hypothesis is true though. I'll need more experimentation.

[alterecco]

If at any point you try to reference an object (you know what I mean, an objStruct) thatexists in another system, you will have a hard crash. Only ever reference fresh bjects in the current system. I am not certainthat is your probem, but I thought it might be worth knowing.

[RPC]

Um... I used ObjSetData to store the previous station's location, sovereign and position.
Here's a copy of station respawn code if it helps:
Why do stations respawn at the sun?

[alterecco]

you could dbglog the oldstationlocation in your reconstruction event and see if it is ever nil... if it is, then start working your way backwards to find out what causes it.

[digdug]

Why do stations respawn at the sun?

I suspect that you are trying to do this:
(setq pos (sysVectorPolarOffset gSource (random 0 360) (random 800 1200)))
when gSource is already a destroyed station, so it causes the respawning to happen at the center of the system (on the sun)
