Armageddon crashes online depending on number of skins (clientside)

#1

Post by The Toxic Avenger » Sun Oct 07, 2012 2:43 am

So apparently, if I try to play any server using armageddon2v63.pk3, I crash unless I take all but about 10 skins out (I have 54, because I never delete anything) of my skins folder. I've checked this in both Skulltag 98D and Zandronum, and it seems to be Zandronum-specific. It also seems to be exclusive to online; I tested this offline and it works without a hitch. When I tried to load it on Armada with nine skins, it worked, then I added nine more, and it crashed. When I removed the first nine to see if the second nine caused it, it worked without crashes.

I have no idea what's causing this at this point, I wonder if anyone here could help.

Skin folder contents:

Code: Select all

Huh, you used 2v6, not 2v63? Or are they interchangeable? I wish I could help, but I use 2v63 with the proper ST .pk3s and it works without a hitch.

Oh, shit, you're right, I read the filename wrong. It's 2v63.

.wad, or .pk3? I only have a Armageddon2v63.pk3 file in my folder...
Yeah, my advice and help boils down to "If it's a .wad, its not the right file." Sorry I can't be more help than that... ; n ;

It's not just the number of skins, actually. I only have nine and I have the exact same problem--all but two of them being homemade, and those two don't cause the crashing.

Interestingly, deleting the .ini and starting fresh with a new one sometimes takes care of the issue.
The Ranger - New class for HeXen.
ZDoom Wars - I drew some pictures.
Samsara - Some class-based mod I guess?
Metroid: Dreadnought - I am a dumb fanboy.

It's something to do with the folder though. For some reason the problem in question is strangely enigmatic.

Also, yeah, I meant pk3 >_<

Does it still crash with this binary? If so, please report the problem at the tracker.

Yes, it crashes in that client as well, but it now crashes offline as well with that binary.

Posted it to the tracker.
