Crash in load_bmp8_enhanced_actor

[Phil]

I am using MS VS 2005 with Win XP Pro SP2.

 

I can get the cvs client to compile and run (with 636 warnings, but no errors). I can type in my username and password, but after the progress bar finishes, I get this message.

 

Windows has triggered a breakpoint in elc.exe.

 

This may be due to a corruption of the heap, and indicates a bug in elc.exe or any of the DLLs it has loaded.

 

The output window may have more diagnostic information

 

According to the debugger, the last line executed in the client source is in textures.c line 912 free(texture_mem); I have NEW_TEX defined.

 

My error_log.txt file says this:

Can someone tell me what to do now?

 

Thanks, Phil

looks like it's trying to open a filename that hasn't been initialised yet... okay, you are running from your data_dir, right? (if using MSVC's debug/run, have the working dir set right)

the stock client works fine from the data_dir?

what other defines are you using? (the full list)

are you using up-to-date versions of all the libs you need?

[Phil]

I checked my working dir, and it is ok.

 

The stock client works fine in there with the cal3d.dll provided with the client. But I am using a cal3d.dll from the cal3d sources because I could not get the cvs client to run with the supplied cal3d.dll.

 

I am using _DEBUG;ELC;WINDOW_CHAT;NEW_TEX defines.

 

I copied the actor_defs and languages folders to the working dir.

 

My libraries I'm using that are different from the stock client are:

oggvorbis-win32sdk-1.0.1 (_d dlls)

cal3d 0.10.0

 

Hope this helps.

Phil

[Phil]

I just updated the DLLs to see if that would fix it. It didn't.

 

Now I'm using

ogg vorbis win32sdk 1.0.1

cal3d 0.10.0

SDL 1.2.9

SDL_net 1.2.5

libxml2 2.6.32

 

The rest are the same as the stock client.

 

Phil

[Phil]

I doubt this matters, but I accidentally told the wrong operating system. I have Win XP Tablet PC Edition, but it is like XP Pro.

[ttlanhil]

your defines line is missing some of the common options, which may be the cause (elc is not good about keeping defines optional). if you'd like to try my list to see if that fixes it, it's

ELC;NDEBUG;NEW_WEATHER;PNG_SCREENSHOT;WIDGETS_FIX;NEW_FRUSTUM;NETWORK_THREAD;BUG_FIX_3D_OBJECTS_MIN_MAX;NEW_TEX;OPTIONS_I18N;USE_FRAMEBUFFER;NEW_ACTOR_ANIMATION;COMMAND_BUFFER;USE_BBOX;ATI_9200_FIX;AUTO_UPDATE

[Phil]

OK, I tried your defines, but I got the same result

 

 

Here's my Call Stack (only showing elc code files), hope this helps

Is there anywhere you would like me to put a breakpoint to check the values of any variables?

 

Thanks for your help so far,

Phil

edit: I spoke too quick, I thought I was close to finding the bug.

okay, not meaning to call you a liar or anything, but this looks quite similar to the problems I had when not running in the right working directory

are you compiling the client with the .exe in your EL dir? (if not, please copy it there for next step) does it work when run from explorer/whatever there?

have you set the working directory for debug setup and are using release, perhaps? it'll need to be set for both.

of course, check if there may be a typo in the working directory setting

in MSVC 2k3, it's properties->config->debug->working directory and should be set to your EL dir, usually C:\Program Files\Eternal Lands\

to compile into this dir, properties->config->linker->general->output include the full path. for me, it's set to something like C:\Program Files\Eternal Lands\elc_ttlanhil_debug.exe

 

if using the same defines, and still having the problem, I don't know what else could be the cause

[Phil]

Found the problem. Visual Studio is saying NEW_TEX isn't defined. Very strange. I know that it is in the command line. I'll have to put the define in my global.h or something.

[Phil]

Yes, it looks like a lot of the defines weren't working from the command line. Now that I have them in global.h, they work, but now I have an error.

 

error C2065: 'GL_MAX_RENDERBUFFER_SIZE_EXT' : undeclared identifier

if (use_frame_buffer && have_framebuffer_object) glGetIntegerv(GL_MAX_RENDERBUFFER_SIZE_EXT, &max_size);

 

Do I have a missing GL header or something?

 

Thanks,

Phil

ahh! I know what it is. open up MSVC, remove all files from the project, add all files to the project. some of them have custom settings, and hence don't get the global defines, and re-adding them like this will flush all custom settings (just remember to check if cal3d_wrapper.cpp needs to be set as a C++ file after, that should be the only file with anything changed)

 

error C2065: 'GL_MAX_RENDERBUFFER_SIZE_EXT' : undeclared identifier

if (use_frame_buffer && have_framebuffer_object) glGetIntegerv(GL_MAX_RENDERBUFFER_SIZE_EXT, &max_size);

more likely out of date than missing. if it's undef, then you can safely comment out the relevant lines; you won't be able to use that part of the code anyway

[Phil]

Thanks

 

I can log in now to the point where I can see the interface and my items in the quickbar, but then a debug assertion fails for a vector out of bounds error.

 

I really need to go to sleep though; so I'm not going to mess with it right now. It's 1:45 A.M. and I have to be in class at 8 this morning

 

Thanks again,

Phil

Hello Phil_,

 

Seems we've been working on the same matter parraler, hehe. I've managed to compile and run ELC with VC2005 Express yesterday. (although turning on the sounds crashes the client; I need to debug this). I had the same problem with per-file defines as well as the assertion. The assertion is a tricky part. You need to have the cal3d library compiled in the same configuration as the client(Debug or Release). Otherwise they will be using different CRT libraries and client won't see some of the data created in cal3d code (at least that is my explanation). The Debug uses "Multithreaded Debug DLL" and Release "Multithreaded DLL". I had similar problems (heap corruption) at work when mixing these two.

 

Right now I'm working on creating a sln and vcproj for the current code and I'm thinking of posting them into the repository for future use.

[Kindar_Naar]

Ok, I was able to get the music from the client

 

I needed to recompile the ogg/vorbis library as the binaries I had did not work (propably the same problem as in previous post). Once done with vorbis I needed to spend some time on OpenAL as the alutInit funtion did not work.. at all. I got newer distribution of OpenAL(which does not have the alut.dll) and combined it with the freealut binaries and... I have sound as well as almost complete sollution and project files for VC2005

[Phil]

Thanks all for your help. I got it to run now.
