I think before any more major features are added, we should clean up and refactor what we already have. For example, changing the networking stuff to make it easier to run multiple mods (like we were discussing on IRC) and working on documentation.

It was barely worth it when I did it...

Its worth a "clapping"

[Monstarules]

You're funny.

[Space Inspader]

I've requested this already dangit, Assault rifle. Now.

Yeah a game filled with just riflers might get boring...

There will never be an SMG. Stop asking for one. This is a final decision, and will not change.
Go play 1.0 if you want an SMG.

Nice to see you're keeping your ground mate.
btw, what version are you trying to reflect for Iceball?

Do you need a slap in the face? I said assault rifle. Not SMG. Something more sensible than an SMG.

Edit: Or did I read that wrong and you were quoting what you were agreeing with. Nah, that's not it.

Thanks for exlaining "voxels" to me as i can never get my head around how games like Aos and Minecraft run on hardware like they do. Well Minecraft is Java also so realy supprided it runs on hardware like it does. Anyway thanks!

You'll need to use a debugger, then, because something is horribly wrong.
If you can get the line in the source code where it crashes, that will be very useful thanks.

What debugger should I use? I'm Windows XP.

[Sonarpulse]

you still should use the GNU Debugger, gdb. it included in mingw which you need to use to compile the game. (if you used the noob release you need to download mingw.)

[10se1ucgo]

Used GDB. I wasn't using the noob build btw.

Excellent! I haven't looked at the Iceball source in a while but that looks like the type of function which relies on very little state, so it should be easy to fix.

Just in case, If you could edit the makefile to make sure you are doing a debug build, and then do a bt (type bt after it seg faults in gdb) that would be most wonderful.

Also if you could figure out what image it was loading that would also help (not sure how to do that).

Guys, I'm sick of the retardedness of this thread. Stop posting useless shit.

I am suprised at the sheer amount of stupid idiots on this forum who don't know how to read.

People have suggested moving discussion to the club, but clubs are quite buggy + shitty on these forums (and are also private for people who aren't signed up to them), so I might ask rakiru if he's willing to host a forum for this.

I am aware that's a bit of code which needs bulletproofing.
Can you please do "bt full"?
