Re: code to get the illumination at any point on the map

35 is SVC_WEAPONANIM.

I can't help you, because my code does not send messages (with the exception of the ShowMagic, but it is not involved), but I also don't know what message is sent during the construction of the message SVC_WEAPONANIM.

P.S. in order that I could help - you should give me more information

Re: code to get the illumination at any point on the map

I'm not sure if we are talking about the same group of messages. I thouht it would be rather one of those captured i.e. in pfnMessageBegin function - like "BarTime", "ResetHUD", "AmmoPickup" and so on. I mean those I need to know for them MSG_ID (GET_USER_MSG_ID). Actually I cannot reproduce that bug on a windows server (it happened only on a linux server), but I found another one on windows server (not related at all to Your code). It is something with pathfinding, I couldn't believe it could happen.

Code:

hlds.exe caused an Access Violation at location 09c261da in module podbot_mm.dll Reading from location cdcdcdf9.

It looks like is not enought to check if the pointer is null or not to prevent the crash... :(
That ">" shows lines of code execution in last called functions.

Re: code to get the illumination at any point on the map

It looks like I have fixed the problem with windows crash (the crash dump above), the windows server is not crashing already more than 2 hours (before I needed to wait about 20 minutes to crash). The problem with linux (FATAL ERROR - msg 35) still exists there, but I had to wait about 2 hours now (after the change of the code concerning to the windows crash - not sure why it didn't crash on linux for the same reason). Yesterday it was a crash about every 10 minutes. Maybe there is some problem with network (linux test server is a virtual machine)? I couldn't reproduce that problem on a windows server. Why the hell does it behave different way, if for bot servers I'm using the same configuration of podbot and AMX X files (CSDM)?

Re: code to get the illumination at any point on the map

I'm sorry that it is so late wrote.
Don't even know how to help you, try to debug bots on LINUX - this is the only thing I can advise to you.... Sorry

Re: code to get the illumination at any point on the map

It looks like on real linux servers it doesn't crash anymore since latest update.

It might be some problem with my virtual PC and network access...

The GoldSource engine is currently getting some love and I raised this as an issue on the GitHub tracker: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/halflife/issues/1774
