Not a crash - but another entry in file error from 3 days ago was created by JTP

What might have happened here since i see this in file error:

Apr 4 22:06:04 :: SYSERR: no valid target to act()!

?
Game didnt crash, but maybe a good idea to find out.

github.com/tbamud/tbamud/blob/0bb51e2bc2...36b/src/comm.c#L2676 :

 /* ASSUMPTION: at this point we know type must be TO_NOTVICT or TO_ROOM */

  if (ch && IN_ROOM(ch) != NOWHERE)
    to = world[IN_ROOM(ch)].people;
  else if (obj && IN_ROOM(obj) != NOWHERE)
    to = world[IN_ROOM(obj)].people;
  else {
    log("SYSERR: no valid target to act()!");
    return NULL;
  }

So, you are calling act(.., TO_ROOM) with a character in NOWHERE.

act() then warns about it and ignores the call.

Not sure if that would help but, we had an issue with one of those act() TO_ROOM calls and we just couldn't track it properly, so we added the act() message to the warning output.
It was kinda of messy in the logs but it worked. Something like:

log("SYSERR: no valid target to act()! - Text: %s", str);

I'm almost sure that mine was again a person that logged out before message was received.

But Nice idea with string
