VM abort: player.txt line 374

Code: Select all • Expand view

virtual void CheckWeaponChange ()
{
   let player = self.player;
   if ((player.WeaponState & WF_DISABLESWITCH) || // <----------------------------------------------------------------Aborts here
      player.morphTics != 0)               // Morphed classes cannot change weapons.
   { // ...so throw away any pending weapon requests.
      player.PendingWeapon = WP_NOCHANGE;
   }

   // Put the weapon away if the player has a pending weapon or has died, and
   // we're at a place in the state sequence where dropping the weapon is okay.
   if ((player.PendingWeapon != WP_NOCHANGE || player.health <= 0) &&
      player.WeaponState & WF_WEAPONSWITCHOK)
   {
      player.DropWeapon();
   }
}

Specifically:

Code: Select all • Expand view

if ((player.WeaponState & WF_DISABLESWITCH) ||

This can happen when morphing, it would appear.

How can I reproduce this? You are particularly vague on that aspect.

[Major Cooke]

Good question. Unfortunately, it's sporadic when playing D4D, so I cannot present a quick and easy demonstration.

Here's the resources and here's the bleeding edge.

Just put them in the same folder together and only load Doom4Doom-master.zip, it will auto-load the resources package for you.

I should also note I'm playing on maps like Dark Tartarus which makes extensive use of voodoo dolls.

I attempted to fix it myself by adding in at the top:

Code: Select all • Expand view

if (!player || !player.mo)
   return;

I haven't encountered further aborts as of yet...

Morphing and voodoo dolls are a match made in hell...
