[FreeSpaceFreak]

So, I'm testing my campaign, and I get two errors. I don't know if they are mod-related or code bugs though. They don't resemble any mod or mission bugs I've seen so far. So, help please.

First:

Code: [Select]

Warning: Null vec3d in vec3d normalize.
Trace out of vecmat.cpp and find offending code.

File: VecMat.cpp
Line: 812


Call stack:
------------------------------------------------------------------
    vm_vec_normalize()    radar_plot_object_orb()    obj_move_all_post()    obj_move_all()    game_simulation_frame()    game_frame()    game_do_frame()    game_do_state()    gameseq_process_events()    game_main()    WinMain()    WinMainCRTStartup()    kernel32.dll 7c817067()
------------------------------------------------------------------

Second:

Code: [Select]

Assert: is_object_stealth_ship(&Objects[aip->target_objnum])
File: aicode.cpp
Line: 1974


Call stack:
------------------------------------------------------------------
    ai_frame()    ai_process()    ship_process_post()    obj_move_all_post()    obj_move_all()    game_simulation_frame()    game_frame()    game_do_frame()    game_do_state()    gameseq_process_events()    game_main()    WinMain()    WinMainCRTStartup()    kernel32.dll 7c817067()
------------------------------------------------------------------

Run the debug version.  The FS2_Open.log would be much more helpful.

[FreeSpaceFreak]

That was the debug version. And where do I find the FS2_Open.log? It's not in my main FS2 folder.

[karajorma]

Check your data folder.

Run the debug version.

Both those errors are assertions. You'll only ever see Assertions and Int3() on debug builds.


Assertions always denote a code error (although in some cases that error is not stopping the user from doing something very stupid and it's easier to fix the data). The first case is definitely a code error and the second one appears to be one too.

[FreeSpaceFreak]

Whoa, that's one solid block of text... So, what do I do? Ignore the errors? Make a Mantis account?

FS2_Open.log for the first error below. Second one will be later due to practical problems.

Code: [Select]

Unfortunately that doesn't reveal the cause (at least not to me).  Best bet is to try to narrow it down to a particular ship or event.  Just make a copy of the mission and start removing things.  Remove a couple at a time and run it and see if you get the crash.  Might start by changing the player ship to a FS2 standard one if you can. 

[FreeSpaceFreak]

Humm. Alright. I've been fine-tuning the second mission and the error doesn't appear anymore

[Zacam]

I notice you have spec, but no ENV. Under the original release shaders in the mediavp's, there is an error with the non-env enabled shaders having a vec issue (I believe, I am unfortunately not at home right now to verify that). It's been fixed internally for now, but that may be what is causing it?

Just confused that the issue seems to happen and now not happen.

[FreeSpaceFreak]

Okay, so this is a really strange one.

The debug build crashes without warning (just the usual Windows send-error-report stuff) right after the mission has loaded. The (I think) relevant part of the FS2_Open.log below:

In a regular build, I seem to have no ship. Meaning I can't move or fire. My ship shield ANI doesn't show up either (and I did not disable it). However, in FRED everything seems to be just fine. Other missions work as well.

[karajorma]

Were you playing the campaign or via the tech room?

[FreeSpaceFreak]

The campaign.

EDIT - it does work if I play it via the Tech room. Apart from the lightning sounds (nebula mission). I heard those while playing the campaign, but they're not there via the tech room x_x

[karajorma]

I'm pretty sure I know exactly why that is happening. The code around that error looks like this.

Code: [Select]

else {
// get an eye position based upon the correct type of object
switch(Viewer_obj->type){
case OBJ_SHIP:
// make a call to get the eye point for the player object
ship_get_eye( &eye_pos, &eye_orient, Viewer_obj );
break;
case OBJ_OBSERVER:
// make a call to get the eye point for the player object
observer_get_eye( &eye_pos, &eye_orient, Viewer_obj );
break;
default :
Int3();
}

And I'm pretty sure that you're getting there in a ship of type OBJ_START which means the game doesn't know how to handle you and is crashing as a result. On the face of it that means that changing things to

Code: [Select]

case OBJ_SHIP:
case OBJ_START:
Might fix it but what worries me is that this code has been pretty much exactly the same since retail. WMCoolmon made some changes to it about 7 months ago but nothing that could cause this error. Which means that the error has either existed a hell of a long time or that this particular ship would have been dealt with earlier in the code but has somehow fallen through to here.

[FreeSpaceFreak]

Well, the ship was your usual stock MVP Ulysses, so I doubt it would have been that.

Any way I can work around this? Should I report it?

[karajorma]

Definitely. And link back here.

It isn't your choice of ship. Any player ship would be an OBJ_START. That's why I'm so surprised no one has run into this problem before.

Post the mission if you can. This isn't a part of the code I'm very familiar with but I might take a look to see if I can spot an obvious cause for the problem.

[FreeSpaceFreak]

* FSF makes Mantis accout

It's a red-alert mission. Does that mean I should post my pilot file as well?

[karajorma]

That probably would help.

[FreeSpaceFreak]

Here you are.

[attachment deleted by evil Tolwyn]

[FUBAR-BDHR]

I didn't read all of that but did you try creating a new pilot file?  I've seen some strange things especially with red-alert missions.  Your pilot file might look fine otherwise but then you hit a red-alert and splat. 

[FreeSpaceFreak]

Nope, a brand-new pilot doesn't fix it.

And after five hours, I still haven't received the Mantis sign-up mail. Is that normal?

[karajorma]

Sadly it is. But it generally means you aren't ever getting one either.
