[Help] Bizarre Error Log

[yuyoia]

Hi again,

I have been modifying some vanilla maps for the mod I am working on, and I can mostly trouble shoot crashes but last night I was play testing and got a crash on a map load with this as the log:

I should also note that I have the vehicle in the said error log working just fine in other maps.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

"Too many statemasks" are your problem, according to the log.

This means you have too many networkableinfos or rather, too many individual templates running under the same networkable info.

In your case the debug log complains that the FAAV has 28 templates using the same networkable info. But that shouldn't cause problems in BF2, the engine can handle that amount easily. But there is a (high) limit, I don't know where exactly, but there's a point that the network engine just gives up.

I'd guess the problem is that you have quite a bunch of other vehicles on the map already that use the exact same networkableinfo, and the FAAV is just the last drop that blows the balloon.

i had also had this issue, i simply renamed the vehicle and it worked

Okay that looks fixable.

What about this one:

c:\dice\projects\bf2branches\patch_1_50\code\bf2\io\BitStream.inl(59): Error: io: (fatal error) Value out of bounds val: 2351 lower 0 upper: 1023

What about this one:

You can't have any more than 1023 rounds per magazine. The vehicle in question has a genericfirearm with more than that limit.

Any time you run into a bounds issue like that just google for example [[ bf2 "lower: 0 upper: 1023" ]] and usually you will get a link of someone else who had the issue and figured out what caused it.
