Crossfire Forum

I'm trying to get the latest sources from Subversion using this command: svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/crossfire/server/branches/1.x crossfire The checkout process started OK, but after about 20 files it crashed, and now it crashes every time with the same error message: svn: REPORT ...

Oh... err... oops.

Sorry about that. I'd gotten so used to using CVS for Crossfire, I just typed the commands without checking. Sorry!

I just built a Linux version of the server from the latest CVS sources, but when I talk to some NPCs (for example: T.K., the cleaning person in the wizard's quest in Scorn, the people in the Goth's tavern, etc.) the server segfaults. I've noticed it only happens with NPCs that say something when you ...

Mmmm... its a problem with Python 2.4 and the server. Use 2.3 and it will work fine. I'm not sure why, but that seems to be the solution...

The latest versions of all of the files you talked about are in their correct places. I ran it through a debugger, and the problem occurs in arch.c, line 640, in the hasharch function.
unsigned long
hasharch(const char *str, int tablesize) {
unsigned long hash = 0;
int i = 0;
unsigned rot = 0 ...

I built the latest CVS sources(as of 2/9/06) using VC6, and everything went fine. When I tried to start the server, though, it started printing out messages like "set_ob_value_s: 'Object' 'gravedirt' 1", and then it says "Setting up archetable". After that, a nice little error box comes up saying ...

I have the same problem. It's caused by the running of the Crossfire Python startup script, via this line: It's in cfpython.c, line 874. I'm trying to create a patch...

Pythons working now, apparently 2.4 doesn't like to cooperate with CF on my comp. But now it crashes occasionally while trying to load a map. I'm using the maps meant for my version of the server, too. Without the Python plugin, the same thing happens.

I think I built them with the right version headers, I only have the Python 2.4 headers on my computer.

Also, I need the Python plugin because otherwise the new event/mini-games I'm designing won't work, since they are written in Python.

EDIT: Looked through the Python plugin source, and I think I ...

It doesn't crash on startup without the Python plugin. Using Python 2.4. It's the only version I have on my machine.
