[Fixed] What'd I do this time?

What causes this message?

Code: Select all

Failed to allocate 5220012 bytes from process heap

I wanted to replay Armitage vs ED 209 and play with it, but I get the above message when I try to start a game.

[Anonymous]

Have you tried makin' the heap size greater than 8? Or did it work with the regular heapsize of 8 in 47?

These may be stupid questions, but with program bugs, anything can happen.

(BTW, what's the anime character in your avatar supposed to be?)

[Anonymous]

That hunk overflow size in your post comes out to about 5KB, so JUST MAYBE increasing the heapsize from 8 to 10 may solve it.

[Enjay]

Have you tried makin' the heap size greater than 8?

Pretty sure the -heapsize parameter is now irrelevant for Zdoom. I *think* Randy changed that some time ago. So quite what LWM's message is complaining about, I've no idea. But then again, this isn't really the kind of stuff I understand well at all.

It's my furry.

You're right. The old heap is now completely gone and ZDoom only uses the system's heap for memory requests. Normally this should'nt overflow. You may want to check the free space on the hard drive. Maybe there is no more space to expand the swap file.

[Ultraviolet]

...to expand the swap file? You should set a static swap file (same minimum and maximum, not windows managed).

[Graf Zahl]

Why? If that's full you are out of memory. I have only set a minimum but left the maximum open so that in extreme cases I don't run into odd messages like the one above. Setting a static swap file size is probably one of the easiest ways to cripple performance of your system because effectively you are setting an upper limit of memory for all applications running at the same time. With today's hardware there is absolutely no need to do it anymore.
When I am using memory-intensive software the size of my swap file can easily go up a few GB.

[LilWhiteMouse]

Maybe there is no more space to expand the swap file.

I have 20+ gigs free, and windows reporting 80% of it's resources free.

I didn't notice it until this morning, but ZDoom also spits this out prior to the crash:

**** DIED WITH FATAL ERROR:

I went through my TEXTURE1, PNAMES, ANIMDEFS, and all my flats but I can't find any reference/lump to this VLITE1. I can't find any reference to it in the level itself either.

[LilWhiteMouse]

I've uploaded the original version here:
http://home.midmaine.com/~lilwhitemo/armvsed.cab
It crashes with or without the patch so I didn't bother to include it. Would someone be kind enough to find this VLITE1 for me? I even tried searching the wad with a hex editor but to no avail.

[Graf Zahl]

What about 'adding armpatch.wad'? Maybe it's in there?

[randomlag]

Something is wrong with the DEHACKED patch - I don't do that much so somebody else can tell you.

FYI you also have these duplicate TEXTURE names: DOOR2, LITE3, LITE5, and STEP1.

Also suggest you use FF_START and FF_END vs F_START and F_END. Perhaps used one of the compressed forms of sound instead of huge WAV?

Just stuff that came out looking at the pwad.

Very COOL level.

[Enjay]

OK, I don't know why, but commenting out the line:

Initial frame = 674

In the trooper section allows the game to load, but there are 2 interesting things. The exact same line is in place for other enemies, and doesn't seem to cause a problem for them - I even summoned a shotgun guy (which also has the line) and it worked. Summoning a zombieman with the line commented out brought a little grey-suited guy into the game who immediately turned into an Ed209 and started shooting me (which I suspect is expected behaviour with that line removed).

The other odd thing is, that even with the line in, Zdoom does bomb on me, but I get no mention of VLITE1 in the console when it does. Are you sure you're not auto loading another file from your skins directory or something which has an entry of some sort that might reference VLITE1?

Here's my crash message. I can load the wad without a crash if I delete the dehacked patch.

After removing the offending sprite it started fine.
