Huhu folks

my mod is kinda gettin to a stable stage, but there is one main problem which i cant solve:

when i want to open the chatbox (pressing ENTER in multiplayer) randomly FL just crashes. When i delete the restart.fl file and fire up FL again it works for some time.
It also happens when i edited a char via DSAM and log in to it.
As soon i press ENTER the client just crashes....
But after deleting the restart.fl file it kinda works again.

So the bug is solveable but me and my testers are not happy with the "solution". (deleting restart.fl everytime)

So does anyone have an idea on that issue?

greetz,

feels good to be back in fl modding =)

@rik_starkiller:
Thank u very much, having kinda progress here =)
the only color that was changed was the one indicating the weapon energy. i changed it back to vanilla and now we r gettin like zero CTD when pressing ENTER in space

(i dont reversed the other exe offset hacks yet)

BUT
if i edit a char through DSAM there some problems:
DSAM is using FLHook to kick the player before it applyes the changes i made. (i guess)
So the client sees a message box "connection lost try again, blabla" and a "OK" button.
When the client klicks on OK -> FL window kinda disappear to the upper left of the screen and FL crashes silently.
client restarts FL -> everything is working fine and even the chatbox still works normaly.

when kicking a player ingame/console via flhook (.kick$ id) the message box comes up, client is klicking OK -> no CTD

so maybe adoxa's script messes something up (cause pressing ENTER doesnt give CTD anymore) & maybe DSAM<->FLhook is doing something.

but doing the hacks step by step sounds like a good idea, i will see if i can find the time for this.

greetings,

/edit: my language is very unkewl when im drinking^^

do post the crash offset and i'm sure adoxa will have a look once he gets back. if you're lucky maybe even one of the other reverse engineers is able to help.

I think we should start by using the vanilla flserver-, freelancer.exe & common & content.dll.

it hasnt got to be just the freelancer.exe

@MoD: i upped some stuff to ur dropbox, check it out if u want

I'm not sure I can help guys, I've not used DSAM and have very little experience with Hook.

Seems to me you've got 2 separate errors there.
The chatbox I think is fixed but I'd suggest the DSAM/FLHook error is separate.

That's all I can offer guys, sorry!
