Frogbot crashes Qrack

[PapaSmurf]

I was just messing around with the frogbot, and after bout 4 minutes of play, Qrack just froze up. This happened to me a couple times yesterday as well. Any thoughts as to why this might be happening?

Here is my command line:

glqrack -game frogbot -wavonly -width 1280 -height 960 -bpp 32 -conwidth 640 -conheight 480 -zone 1024 -noipx -nojoy -dinput -heapsize 128000 -listen +map ztndm3

Hmm.. That used to happen to me on my really old computer when using frogbot Version .12 I think. I wasnt using qrack however... It didnt happen with .13.

Try .13, the bots will do prediction shots also and other neat stuff. It could fix your problem too. Did for me a long time ago

increasing -zone 1024 to -zone 8196 might help..

increasing -zone 1024 to -zone 8196 might help..

Actually, that wouldn't help at all. That increases the allocation for dynamic memory used by aliases.

frogbots with netquake client? errrrr

[PapaSmurf]

it was developed for netquake originally, if i recall correctly

a work-around for ya

quake\wqpro.exe -zone 1024 -dedicated 8 -game frogbot

then connect to your local dedicated server.

I'm not really sure what's crashing cause it wont give me any errors just locks up. As a client it doesn't crash, but running as a local server it does :/

I just tried frogbot with JoeQuake v0.15dev and it locked up aswell at 11:53.
Usually i was getting a lockup in Qrack under 12 minutes. So it maybe the mod's fault?

This sounds just like one of the old SV_TouchLinks engine bugs, look in my engine source for a fix.

--------------------------------
EDIT: Fixed I *think... played frogbots for 15+ minutes no freeze..

Shadow had an old bugfix on quakesrc.org which was very close to how u had, but a few differences...
