Question Bugs ...Report and help Fix

Hey Nerian:

I tested the 'stock' way its set up, i.e. the way you listed the code the first time.

It seems to work completely fine:

Zusuf, a male ogre with blue eyes and a button nose, is standing here.


I'd suggest maybe making sure that all your constants are set for all your races, besides that I'm not sure why you'd have an issue and my version doesn't

I am running D20mud (and love it)..I am new to coding nad need a little help. I have a crash bug in fight.c and after unning gdb I am getting this:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
make_corpse (ch=0x1a745e0) at fight.c:897
897 IN_ROOM(corpse) = NOWHERE;


And the code here is:

IN_ROOM(corpse) = NOWHERE;
char *tmpdesc = NULL, *tmpstr = IS_NPC(ch) ? ch->short_descr : which_desc(ch);
snprintf(buf2, sizeof(buf2), "corpse %s", tmpstr);
corpse->name = strdup(buf2);

snprintf(buf2, sizeof(buf2), "The corpse of %s is lying here.", tmpstr);
corpse->description = strdup(buf2);

snprintf(buf2, sizeof(buf2), "the corpse of %s", tmpstr);
corpse->short_description = strdup(buf2);
free(tmpdesc);



any help? Thanks in advance.

I remember having that same bug and it being something to do with the mud and generating the corpse


unfortunately I don't remember the fix for it...zusuk maybe you can shed some light on it because i do remember consulting with you on this one ...since you were the one who found the bug in Lost Lands

and I know this has been a while back, but life got busy.... the problem was only with people who were not introduced so if I made test1 and test2 and they had never met each other it would not show properly.

Hey Spencer, can you give us the GDB output?

I think I remember the problem being that Gicker changed the code to not make a new object, but rather load an object and assign it as a corpse.

Double check to make sure you have a 'corpse' object that matches the vnum he's using in the code if that's the case.

Nerian: How ya doing man?? We released LuminariMUD if you want a copy, help yourself
