R2b43 wired error messages

[g4s]

I updated my bots to R2b43 (Windows DS) days ago. But the server crashes very often. Then I tried it under linux. At first I thought there might be something wrong with my amxx plugins. After disabling amxx, and did a fresh install of podbot, the problem is still there. The error messages I got:

Got a NaN velocity on grenade
Got a NaN origin on grenade
PM Got a NaN velocity 0
PM Got a NaN origin on 0
PM Got a NaN velocity 1
PM Got a NaN origin on 1
PM Got a NaN velocity 2
PM Got a NaN origin on 2
Got a NaN velocity on weaponbox
Got a NaN origin on weaponbox
... ...

These messages are endless.

I compiled both R2b1 and R2b43, R2b1 just works with no problems. But with R2b43, I got these messages right after I add bots.

any ideas?

What the version of metamod do You use? Don't use under linux mm1.17.2 because there are some "memory leaks". I was reading it at some other forum. The problem with this mm is only under linux.

yes Dethpod also mentioned this problem to me but I was unable to fix it or even surpress it..
I couldn't figure it out but perhaps a memory leak in metamod(linux) could explain it.. since Dethpod owns 2 linux servers..

Yes, I'm using 1.17.2. But if it's the problem of metamod, it doesn't make sense that r2b43 has problems while r2b1 works ok.

sPlOrYgOn, is there anywhere I can download previous versions of podbot, like b41, b40...? Just want to see if I get same problems with those versions.

I'll first try to downgrade metamod and post the result here. Thanks for the info guys.

[sPlOrYgOn]

an estimate of which build number it started at is probably around build 10 - build 36..
it's probably something stupid I added...

[g4s]

nope, nothing to do with metamod. I downgraded metamod to 1.17.1, got those messages again.

sPlOrYgOn, if you still have backup of those old versions, I got time now to test them. Or I'll just stick with my modified version of b1 and wait for the next beta.

[sPlOrYgOn]

Dethpod has been getting these messages for quite a long time.. I think even before 1.17.1 came out..
[edit]
and the only place that would have backup until build 38 would be the CVS..
I should probably keep backups but I'm sort of low on HDD space..

Dethpod has source code from 06/27/04 and this does not produce the NaN stuff.. maybe you can change one thing at a time until those messages appear and see what is wrong..

thanks but it seems the link is broken.

I switched back to r2b1, tested under linux, everything seems ok. But I'm pretty sure the recent releases are much better. so could you please check that zip file?

[sPlOrYgOn]

lol sorry when I tested the link it worked but when I wrote the link there i forgot the s in files
[edit]
using this code as test code is better since it's not as far back as b1...

I found something...
I wonder when this gets called..
I'll see what I can do when I have time..
this is found in the HLSDK in a file called pm_shared.c

PHP Code:

/*
================
PM_CheckVelocity

See if the player has a bogus velocity value.
================
*/
void PM_CheckVelocity ()
{
    int        i;

//
// bound velocity
//
    for (i=0 ; i<3 ; i++)
    {
        // See if it's bogus.
        if (IS_NAN(pmove->velocity[i]))
        {
            pmove->Con_Printf ("PM  Got a NaN velocity %i\n", i);
            pmove->velocity[i] = 0;
        }
        if (IS_NAN(pmove->origin[i]))
        {
            pmove->Con_Printf ("PM  Got a NaN origin on %i\n", i);
            pmove->origin[i] = 0;
        }

        // Bound it.
        if (pmove->velocity[i] > pmove->movevars->maxvelocity) 
        {
            pmove->Con_DPrintf ("PM  Got a velocity too high on %i\n", i);
            pmove->velocity[i] = pmove->movevars->maxvelocity;
        }
        else if (pmove->velocity[i] < -pmove->movevars->maxvelocity)
        {
            pmove->Con_DPrintf ("PM  Got a velocity too low on %i\n", i);
            pmove->velocity[i] = -pmove->movevars->maxvelocity;
        }
    }
} 


[EDIT]
The code tags really need help...
