I thought that physics had been made independent of grahpics fps?

making fps independant code for anything physics related is notoriously hard. As you know I solved this by making the physics update at least 50 fps (above 50 it doesn't change much anymore). The projectile update however was not part of the physics update. I suggest you fix this by calling it from the physics update function.

Is it likely that Cube would choke on too many conoutfs in a row? Say something on the order of 30? I'm seeing it crash in the middle of a string making its way to stdout.

eg: conoutf("abcdefghijklmnop");
-> acdef

Maybe it's not the conoutf function. My level gen function works without a hitch when told to make a size seven map, but after that it may crash. It seems odd because the function is generalized to handel any map larger than 64x64 cubes. Is it possible that Cube is choking on some function dependant on time which isn't getting its turn until 0.5-2 minutes later when the new map is built and reloaded?

Well something somewhere is taking a long walk off a short array. I miss how Java tells you what line it was.

i think the better the computer the bigger the map size it can take, mine is 11 and my friends is 9

I don't know if that's necessarily relevant to the problem. When looking through the newent function I realized that it's recalcing the light after every placement. I created a function to turn that off and took the amount of time it takes to make a size 10 map down from 5 minutes to 5 seconds. So now I can sit here and run it a bunch of times to see where it crashes.

When creating a size 9 map, the map makes it to disk, and is loaded before the game crashes. When making a size 10 map, the game crashes before it's done placing the monsters. Now I'm wondering if I'm going beyond some limit on the number of entities that can be placed.

Hi guys
im makin a game, and also use enet, i learnd using enet by looking @ the cube source, and it seemed not 2 be difficult...

after adding enet 2 my game a always get the following error, about 3 seconds after connecting to the server:

"Die Anwendung in 0x77f48d2c verweist auf Speicher in 0x00000000. Der Vorgan "written" konnte auf dem Speicher nicht durchgeführt werden."

IN ENGLISH:
"The program in 0x77f48d2c points to memory in 0x00000000. The process "written" couldn't be done on it"<-<- SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH... :(

it only happens few seconds after connecting, and also if i disconnect before the error comes up

r my connection routines wrong?

Null pointer.

Slightly less succinctly than Pushplay put it...

You have probably declared and tried to use a pointer without assigning it a value with the 'new' statement (or equivalent)

if you dont know what I mean by pointer you NEED to find out.

Hope that helps

Lo guyz :D
seeing that ":D" a line before?
it means i got it!!! :D

the client destroyd the received packets 2 times, whaz not really good :P

the server has, longer time, the same problem, but not "written", iz a "read" instruction...
maybe i destroy a packet too early there? lez c :)

GreeZ,

#255: stupid neubie problem

by SGT_Will_Burngrene on 12/19/2003 00:41

Hi all,

I just found cube and have been trying to build from sources using vs7 but I keep getting this one error;

"physics.cpp
...\physics.cpp(295) : error C2668: 'sqrt' : ambiguous call to overloaded function"

on this;

"// automatically apply smooth roll when strafing

if(pl->strafe==0)
{
pl->roll = pl->roll/(1+(float)sqrt(curtime)/25);
}
else
{
pl->roll += pl->strafe*curtime/-30.0f;
if(pl->roll>maxroll) pl->roll = (float)maxroll;
if(pl->roll<-maxroll) pl->roll = (float)-maxroll;
};"

Specificly;

"pl->roll = pl->roll/(1+(float)sqrt(curtime)/25);"

I'm new to c++ & cube and just need to know I can build it as-is before I try to modify it thinking the error is in my code.

Thanks

replacing sqrt(curtime) with sqrt((double)curtime) should fix it (no idea why it does this on your vs7 and not on mine).
