| | A rather odd bug was found by one of my team members. He was testing out the preauth area, and the first fight he got into, the mud crashed after about 5 rounds of combat. We all looked at it but couldn't find a solution. Is there something we need to do with the code itself to resolve this? Or is it a problem with the area itself? | | Top |

| Sounds strange. I usually get through that area without any problems and you are the first to report that. Sounds like a code bug, however if you changed the area maybe you added a non-existent mob or something.
Try running under the debugger (gdb) to see why it crashed. There are posts about using that elsewhere. |

| | Couldn't find the bug, so I tried recreating the area, but useing my own stuff. That should stamp out any odd problems with the preauth. (IF I can find the time that is ;P) | | Top |

| | Try running the offending area through the "area check" function of my Area Editor - that usually finds missing links etc. |

| | Correction, I see where the sixth error is, I just don't see why it is that a new player comeing through this zone ends up crashing the mud after just a few rounds with the serpent. Everything else checks out fine though. | | Top |

| | Ok, I found the problem, but since olc doesn't like to work right, I had to fix the problem offline. The problem came up when the mob was about to die, and the money wasn't set up right. Hence, the odd crash. Remember folks, allways check to make sure that items are set prior to alloweing people to go through those areas. | | Top |
