Here is where we are encountering the problem:

Server: Classic
Level: classic_staff_thor_02.nw
Say "dropexplosion"

That uses the exact gani script I provided here.

You could also use *Bomb which is a more complicated script, but has the same problem.

Edit:
Looked at it more, and it seems these conditions need to be satisfied for the crash:

setcharani in local clientside NPC (it worked fine as a showani)
the gani must be a normal ani + script
the gani script must have a showimg in it (even an empty showimg creates the problem)

It seems like the gani script finished before the crash happens, so possible some code problem in the destruction of images in setcharanis.

Found a very strange bug..

Whilst testing Dusty's movement system, I found that if I had a high enough speed, I could move so fast the levels wouldn't be drawn in time and I ended up in a black level (except for the animated flower tiles).

The other strange bug occurred in both a custom and default movement system. I started at the bottom left corner of lith.gmap (on Litheria). Holding both up and left I was able to move up against the left hand boundary of the gmap. Eventually, I was walking into pure black.

The other odd issue I'm expierencing is after a while of being on Lith, it seems the timeout becomes more jagged. While I was moving normally with Dustys system, it eventually becomes a rather pulsated. Changing server doesn't resolve the issue and eventually I have to restart the client. Task manager has the client sitting comfortably at 60MB usage with no noticable CPU usage. Would be nice if anyone else could confirm that they have this issue.

This happens on Classic's movement system too!

We actually checked the time occurring between the end of the onTimeout() and the start of the next one, and it was .1 rather than .05. It seems to only happen after being on the server for awhile.

I've noticed the FPS change also. It definitely changes the FPS and slows timeouts to 0.1, I've done some experimenting with it. It usually happens after being on a while, but will sometimes happen right away.

I don't think the FPS changes. The ganis are smooth and other player's movement are smooth too... I think I have noticed projectiles and timeouts slowing doing only.

It's pretty odd.

Is it only timeouts or is there an actual drop in game FPS?

cbk1994 · #**187** 02-07-2010, 12:25 AM

It's happening now to me, definitely seems to be a general decrease in FPS, but it's hard to tell.

EDIT: Actually it's probably just timeouts, if it was FPS you wouldn't see yourself only moving every other frame.

It's definitely running at 20 FPS and just timeouts are being slowed, I can see, for example, animated shields running at 20 FPS.

So bump for Stefan. There are still two problems (that I know of): The ani problem and the timeout problem.

The timeout problem kind of makes everything unplayable so that is probably more important.

The ani problem does crash the client though so it should probably also be addressed.

Edit: The timeout problem seems to also affect scheduleevents.

Confirmed to happen with my tutorial system on Zodiac

GuiButtonCtrl.performclick() doesn't seem to work; Script: Function SQL_Data_CloseTab.performclick not found in function SQL_Data_Tabs_Menu.onSelect in script of Weapon Staff/SQL Explorer. I can use any other functions or variables of the button, and objectType() returns "GuiButtonCtrl". Can anyone reproduce this?
