Title: Another strange assertion
Post by: Dragon on April 21, 2011, 04:29:07 am

I've recently got an assertion error and I don't know what might be causing it.
Fragment of the log which lists the error (I don't know if posting a full log is nessesary, as the filter makes it quite large):

Code: [Select]

Loading model 'EDI-Lancer.pof'

ASSERTION: "len < n" at cfile.cpp:1271
Freeing all existing models...
The model in question is Scooby Doo's TCD Lancer, reskinned a bit.
EDIT: Tweaked the filter, got a reasonable lenght log. Attached a full version.

Code detected an buffer overflow (ie. attempt to stuff a too long string into an array).

Given that it happened (apparently) during model load... here are the options

• MAX_PROP_LEN = 256, determines maximum size (and also number of characters) of the subsystem properties box
• MAX_NAME_LEN = 32, determines the maximum number of characters in a name.

Ah, I see what is the problem then.
"Bridge_Section_One_Section_Hangar". 34 characters. A great name for a subobject that is not even targetable, Scooby.
I think that these limits should be somewhere on wiki, along with a proper error message instead of "len < n" at cfile.cpp:1271".
