Missing crashes with ubersetzung (and later) versions of game.exe (Spoiler Alert!)

[bz#470]

Meatballsub reports:

Has anybody tried to play this recently? I was originally playing it with the
game.exe it came with, but I couldn't use the phone or get past the guest in the
hallway without it crashing. So now im using today's release of uber with it and
it crashes after I get back to my room from talking with Gloria the first time.

Any ideas?

After playing Missing for quite some time, I got the following error when going through a door... although it was the second time I had gone through there (I went past that point previously, but accidentally closed the program and had to restore from my save)

Aborting due to runtime error 2 (file not found) at line 2111 of allmodex.bas::ISDIR()

Although I can't tell if this is the same crash Meatballsub saw, since isdir() is one of those functions that is *totally* different on Linux than it is on Windows.

Playing further, I got the following crash an instant after looking into the hole I bashed in the floor. I saw the corpse for an instant before it crashed (scary as hell, this game is good!)

[Thread -1224627312 (LWP 23020) exited]
[Thread -1215976560 (LWP 23012) exited]

Aborting due to runtime error 6 (out of bounds array access) at line 494 of music_sdl.bas::LOADSOUND()

Program exited with code 06.

I happened to be runing in gdb, but for some reason there was no backtrace.

(gdb) bt
No stack.

Make sure you are looking at the right thread? Type "info threads" and "thread #" (I think).
With music_native at least, there are lots of garbage threads created, and sometimes gdb would be pointing at one of these when a crash occurred (inside Audiere or Audwrap I suppose, but there also seemed to be directX threads involved)

I am curious if this crash could have maybe had something to do with the bug in the upgrade code which I fixed for bug bz⁠#482

If someone could play through Missing with tomorrow's nightly build, that would be awesome.

This may be fixed already, I would like it re-tested before Voxhumana

Has anybody tried to play through Missing using the Werewaffle release?

Can somebody retest this one? The chances are very good that TeeEmCee just fixed it, so the current nightly build should be able to play Missing to completion without crashes.

Bug bz⁠#717 is definitely unrelated, but it would be nice to have people test anyway

I never looked at this bug. I still plan to get around to it ... some year.

TheCube saw a crash with the latest nightly build:

Derf, I was not running the nightly build like I thought I was. Dunno how I did
that, but when I ran it in the nightly, it ran just fine. No crashes or any
weirdness. Yay!

EDIT: I take that back; I got a crash when I called Steve a second time without
exiting the screen. I had retrieved the key, checked the diary, talked to
Gloria and it was night. I then went to the phone, called Steve once, hung up,
and called him again. The phone rang twice and then I just got a hang and
eventual End Task message. I'll PM you the error log again, it's pretty long
this time and actually seems to have an error message.

The g_debug.txt file contained:

[code]
loadglobalvars from slot 5 of boring old C:\OHRRPGCE\missing.sav
loadglobalvars from slot 5 of boring old C:\OHRRPGCE\missing.sav
Scripterr(4): readnpc: NPC reference -8 is for a disabled NPC with invalid ID 36 (the map must be incompletely loaded)
[/code]

And the NPC reference -8 error was repeated 326 times.

Hey! That looks just like the bug I fixed in r5106 (b154c6a)!

However, there are lots of other crashes described in this bug report :(

I wouldn't be surprised if a few of the crashes with Missing were actually bug bz⁠#797
