It contains a bunch of bug-fixes, some new stuff for Reborn by script guru WhiteDragon, and a couple of things WD wanted.

The 2 biggest changes are the new code for per-weapon scope support (instead of them being just per-unit) and the new code to change which texture is used instead of HUD_MAIN.TGA for each unit (I was origonally going to make it per-team but making it per-unit set via a script was actually easier to do)

The nickname exploit fix should be working 100% now, if it isnt, well, thats what 2.3.1 is for Smile

get it from http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/rentools/

The plan is to let people test this release, if bugs show up, I will fix them and release a 2.3.1 release. Otherwise, I will put 2.3 into Core Patch 2 and we can start beta testing that (a readme file is still needed though Smile

It did not load for me at all at the time I posted. Now it says under maintenance. Something probably went wrong. Can you upload it somewhere else? Like www.rapidshare.de or www.yousendit.com

How may i inport
Quote:

Code to output the windows version and the current date and time to crashdump.txt files (the last bit is great for matching crashes back to server log files to find out if any events happened that might be the cause of the crash)
and the nickfix into SSAOW 1.4? just point me in the direction, file and line :S

With respect to SSAOW, yuou should just wait for SSAOW 1.4.1 which will contain all the fixes in scripts.dll 2.3 (or 2.3.1), I will work with WD to get that out.

Thanks for the crashdump, I will look into it ASAP.
Do you have any information on what you were doing at the time or what might have happened (e.g. did something specific on the server happen when you crashed?)
Is that the only crash you have had so far or did you have more crashes with 2.3? (or did you roll back to 2.2.2?)
What is that xfire thing I see listed in the stack backtrace?

If anyone else has any bug reports (crashdumps etc) for 2.3, please post them here, I plan to release 2.3.1 (with whatever fixes are required) early this week.

ok, I just looked at that crashdump and I cant match it back to anything I recognize.

If I get any further crash reports, I will look into them as well but I dont see anything that would cause that crash.
Anyone who gets a crash with 2.3 should post the crashdump.txt in this thread.

The plan right now is to get the readme for CP2 done and get CP2 assembled and get a beta-testing system in place somehow.
Then, I will go into beta testing of CP2.
Should any further bugs to fix show up, I will fix them, release 2.3.1 and add it to CP2.

Were you using a mod package when that crash happened?
I think that what may have happened is that the game is using the scripts.dll from the mod package (the _mod_scripts.dll file) instead of the scripts.dll from 2.3

Canadacdn please send me your scripts2.dll file.
Also, please tell me what was happening at the time the crash occured.
Did the crash happen in the same place in both cases?

It happened about 10 or so seconds after I'd get in the server. Nothing different was happening.

Crash,

Happens everytime a Nod building is destroyed for me. Just freezes while the "Nod <building> destroyed" message is played, and then the game dies.

Both that last crash and the other one seem to be the same thing.
Are the servers that they happen on running SSAOW?
I havent been able to reproduce this problem yet but it might be because I am playing on servers that dont trigger whatever event causes this crash (its happening when the server sends some command to the client which doesnt match with what the client is expecting & as such, it crashes)

Can someone who can reproduce it please try this bhs.dll and then play and do whatever makes it crash.
Then, upload both the crashdump.txt and the data.log files to here so I can take a look at them (the data.log just logs whatever the server sends to the client so I should be able to see the bad data hopefully.

Am I getting the same crash as the last one, or is my crash a different issue?

=HT=T-Bird, the crashdump you posted before is not related to this (as far as I can tell).
Are you still getting crashes?

I have just fixed some further problems caused if the ID command is used and there are players with no name on the server.

If =HT=T-Bird's problem turns out to be something I can reproduce and/or fix, I will do that.

I will also do my best to fix this other issue (the one to do with destroying buildings).

And then I will release scripts.dll 2.3.1 It looks like only bhs.dll will change so you could just replace bhs.dll or bhs.so of scripts.dll 2.3 or SSAOW 1.4.1. If you are running scripts.dll earlier than 2.3, you will need to replace both scripts.dll and bhs.dll (as normal). If you are running SSAOW < 1.4.1, you will need to upgrade to 1.4.1 then put the new bhs.dll/bhs.so in place.

Both Core Patch 2 and Server Side Core Patch 2 will contain 2.3.1 and the fixes contained therein.
