I have this weird crash whenever i have a new max player, for now i have set maxplayer in sysdata.dat to be 1000, more than will ever connect and it does not crash no matter how many i connect.
backtrace:
from frame 7:
frame 8 is the call the the above function.
print filename: this has a lot of junk in there that im pretty sure should not be there, but i dont know why that this would be corrupt.
Anyone got some thoughts. Thanks in advance.
