Bogus Message Type, Server Crashes

When I wake up in the morning and check my server it's showing this error:

Code:

Tried to create a message with a bogus message type (0)

Any idea why it's doing this?

Keep up the great work!

Re: Bogus Message Type, Server Crashes

I've already seen this message before...

For me it was a memory problem... there must be a leak somewhere... or an overflow... or something. Ensure that when you free() stuff you never free it twice, and all the usual checks ...

Re: Bogus Message Type, Server Crashes

"bogus message type (0)" errors are caused when you try to send a network message without registering it first. For example, if you had something like this...

Code:

pfnMessageBegin( MSG_ONE, gmsgTextMsg, NULL, pEntity );

Code:

pfnWriteByte( msg_dest );

pfnWriteString( msg_name );

pfnMessageEnd();

...you can get that error if you never registered 'gmsgTextMsg' using REG_USER_MSG.

You should have the code be something like this instead...

Code:

if (gmsgTextMsg == 0)

Code:

gmsgTextMsg = REG_USER_MSG( "TextMsg", -1 );



pfnMessageBegin( MSG_ONE, gmsgTextMsg, NULL, pEntity );

pfnWriteByte( msg_dest );

pfnWriteString( msg_name );

pfnMessageEnd();

It should be pretty simple to search your bot code for "MESSAGE_BEGIN" or "pfnMessageBegin" and find all the places where you're not checking the message ID for == 0.

EDIT: I have NO idea why it's putting the "Courier New" crap in there.

Re: Bogus Message Type, Server Crashes

...that's because you must have copypasted this code, botman...
I know, my [ code ] tags suck :( But the default ones have this bug, too.
