    Map Jam 7 Crashing Issue (Quoth and Quakespasm)

    Hi all,

    I recently downloaded Map Jam 7 to play through and 2 of the maps are crashing the game on me. This map pack requires Quoth so I made sure I had the latest Quoth and the latest Quakespasm engine. However, it still dumps me out at certain times in these maps!

    Here is the whole error:

    call2 657(sub_UseSpecificTarget)sub_UseSpecificTarget()
    subs.qc : sub_UseTargets
    subs.qc : sub_UseTargets
    triggers.qc : multi_trigger
    triggers.qc : multi_use
    subs.qc : sub_useSpecificTarget
    subs.qc : sub_useTargets

    Then it repeats all of those lines several times until it says this:

    (NO FUNCTION)
    stack overflow
    Host_Error: Program error

    Anyone have any idea on how to fix this? Thanks!

    one possible solution: bump quakespasm's MAX_STACK_DEPTH define and recompile
    alternative solution: use fte or dp.

    it might also 'just' be an infinite loop too, in which case good luck with that. you'd need to make an .ent file that adds a tiny delay to one of the triggers, and that would at least stop it from crashing. although it would still be infinite, just staggered over multiple frames, but hey, if it works...

      If it is any help to know I played through purely using vanilla Quakespasm 0.90.0 and had no crashes.

      Just double checking, you add the " -heapsize 65536 " part into your shortcut, right?

        Quakespasm 0.92 allocates 256 MB by default.

        (That's 4 times higher than your suggestion.)

        So while you guys all have to fight your anti-matter counterparts, me and my evil twin will be drinking a beer laughing at you guys ...

          That's great, but it wasn't my suggestion.
          I was just following what it said in the Jam 7 readme.txt

            Thanks for the replies!

            Adam - Yes, I tried making a shortcut with the exact command line in the readme and it still dumps me out.

            Spike - Hey I Appreciate the input here, but I'm not much of a programmer here, just trying to get the maps to actually play through. You're right, I might have to use another engine.

              I think you aren't using Quoth.

              Almost all the mappers are using Quakespasm so it cannot be the engine.

              You also say it happens with multiple maps so it cannot be the map.

              All that remains is you not doing -game quoth or something to that effect or you installed Quoth wrong somehow.

                I'm pretty sure it's installed correctly. The different Quoth enemies are showing up on the other maps. 3 of these maps are showing up and finish just fine. The other 2 boot up just fine as well, it's just certain actions in the map cause them to crash.

                  Just as a heads up, Quoth was installed correctly but apparently there was a 2.2 release of it and I had 2.1 which I thought was the latest. Dummy me!

                    I'm glad you got it work. I was having a hard time believing it could be the engine or the maps, seemed statistically impossible.

                      Yea, I had no idea there was a 2.2 release. The main download site for Quoth is listed as 2.1 and Quake Injector is also at 2.1. Weird.

                        Was an unusual and tricky situation.

                        The Quake Injector doesn't know about 2.2 and would have to be recompiled and redistributed AFAIK to address that.
