I am getting the errors

Comm: Preloading player data for: Tester (1K)
Bug: [*****] BUG: fread_char: no match: d
Bug: [*****] FILE: ../player/t/Tester LINE: 17
Bug: [*****] BUG: fread_char: no match: d
Bug: [*****] FILE: ../player/t/Tester LINE: 18

and the player file is showing this on those lines

Act 570426952d
AffectedBy 16d

I have tried to find out exactly what is putting the "d" in the files but can't figure it out

I am using SMAUGFUSS 1.9b and haven't modified it much at all.. .I have been getting this since the beginning... anyone else know what is up?

Can you give a link to the exact download you are using? And does this issue occur if you use the totally unmodified source?

I think he is using SmaugFuss.

I tested a lot of codebase before starting my project and I have a DB of corrections I found here and there (or I wrote myself).

This should fix your problem (Smaugmuds.org):

Open up misc.c and find print_bitvector().

Change this:
snprintf( p, ( XBI * 12 ) - ( p - buf ), "%ud", bits->bits[x] );

To This:
snprintf( p, ( XBI * 12 ) - ( p - buf ), "%d", bits->bits[x] );

That was exactly the problem!!

Yes it was on unmodified... Also on the unmodified, there seems to be an error when connecting to link dead characters

I was getting errors about bool always being false in comm.c and changed check_reconnect to int instead of bool, which got rid of error....

but would segfault when connecting to link dead.. I changed it back to bool and removed -Werror from makefile so it would compile, and even then.. still segfaults on connecting to link-dead.

Unmodified smaugfuss 1.9b from smaugmuds.org

compiling using Cygwin...

happen to have something in your database for that?

Are you using exactly the code from GitHub?

if( check_reconnect( d, argument, FALSE ) == BERR )
      return;



if( check_reconnect( d, argument, FALSE ) )
   {
      fOld = TRUE;
   }
   else
   {
      if( sysdata.wizlock && !IS_IMMORTAL( ch ) )
      {
         write_to_buffer( d, "The game is wizlocked. Only immortals can connect now.\r\n", 0 );
         write_to_buffer( d, "Please try back later.\r\n", 0 );
         close_socket( d, FALSE );
         return;
      }

think i have zeroed in on the issue... check_reconect is called twice in a row

I hope you read this really recent thread on the same subject:

I did, yes.. but did not work for me...upon making those changes I was still getting segfault on trying to connect while link-dead

I found another issue that was causing it for me in the con_get_password section..

there is a similar code there as well... I am working with someone on the smaugmuds forum to help resolve it...

I got it to connect now without crashing, however I am seeing my link-dead self. lol

apparently (according to them) someone changed something on the github without testing it out...

ok I got it...

For anyone using 1.9.2, use the comm.c file from 1.9.1

my problem was in the void nanny_get_old_password section.

thanks everyone!
