Heh, no even more bizarre would you believe? A bunch of data that's totally unrelated to the pathing code got zeroed, and the event ended because the server thought we had no cars. Plus it thought the NPCs were human playerrs and started the looting process. Seriously. It all makes sense now I have (I think) found the bug. I wasn't resizing the block of memory used to store pathing data when new path points were added, and then elsewhere I was setting NPC path data to zero... which was overrunning the end of the allocated memory and screwing with other data in the game. It explains all the random crash points. I hope. C++ is an evil language. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Jun 5, 2008, 12:31 am Last edited Jun 5, 2008, 12:32 am by *sam*

Is that basically it, or am I a very confused person? ......................... vet wv Posted Jun 5, 2008, 1:17 am

*Zothen* Knights Templar Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 841 Joined: Jun 11, 2007 Sounds like messed up pointers to me... Yes, C++ is straight outta hell! Sam, the AIs still do a lot of "Bumblebee dances" at the start of an event! They circle alot around themselves... Quiete aesthetic but... ......................... vet marshal wv Posted Jun 5, 2008, 2:33 am Last edited Jun 5, 2008, 2:34 am by Zothen

You see? give to the AI enough of the "I" and it will start to pretend to be human! Glad you've found the bug. Quote: Ok what I got out of that is that the pathing data stuff started using memory that was needed for other things Yeah, there was no enough space to write all that data, but the only one that check it is Sam when write code. The CPU just write till the end ......................... vet wv Posted Jun 5, 2008, 6:03 am

Parduz BroadRausters Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 523 Joined: Feb 5, 2008 About the "Bumblebee dance"... do they have a sort of priority betweem them? Says, the most courage goes first and do not care at all about who'is in front of him.... the second one just tries to avoid the first, and then choose his path, and so on?... ......................... vet wv Posted Jun 5, 2008, 6:58 am

With this change, they are going to be more likely to shoot at them, and they're pretty hyper-accurate as it is right now. You probably mean vehicle weapon accuracy vs. peds, not NPC accuracy vs. peds? No changes.. I haven't played much lately so I can make this tweak if you think it should be done? Possibly make a reduced accuracy based on the activity level of the target, to simulate rolling/diving etc..? This change really needs to happen sooner rather than later with these AI changes. All they're doing is picking off my peds now regardless of their cover instead of taking cars as priority targets as they used to (which is why the extreme over-accuracy of cars vs humans was acceptable in fighting NPCs). I'm going to cross-post this because I've brought this up a number of times before and it's kinda critical now due to this AI change for ped combat. ......................... vet Posted Jun 6, 2008, 7:59 am

Acierocolotl Equipe Jagwire Autodueller Renegade Group: Contributors Posts: 277 Joined: Mar 28, 2007 Quick commentary: Event S49582: my dune buggy was crippled with a blown engine. Spying a chance to leg it, my driver jumped out and started running. One car came back and spent a LOT of time shooting up the crippled, driverless car, ignoring the driver who was right out in the open for a bit. I'm not sure at all if that was by design or an oversight. ......................... vet Posted Jun 7, 2008, 5:01 am
