SDL Network Crash

[subby]

Hi everyone, its me, the oldies will know me but the newbies won't Anyway I CVS'ed ARmarmaAd compilation and it worked compiled perfectly with gcc 3.4, well done guys

Anyway The game works fine as a local game but crashes if i try network game with the famous "SDL" thingy error.

Anybody have this problem with network? Whats the likely cause. Whats the best and quickest way of finding out the problem? What info should i post to help me play a little arma again (been a long while)

Thanks

P.S. I hope my easy way out for adding the hud into the "psuedo FPS" function hasn't upset you z-man hehe.

Your hostname has to be resolvable, if its not itll bomb
edit your /etc/hosts file and add a line something like this to it

Code: Select all

192.168.0.1     eatavegan

where eatavegan is replaced with your hostname, and the ip is replaced with either your actual ip, or your loopback ip, either way will work, as long as it resolves.

Not too much I hope you don't mind if I give it a more sensible name when I see it the next time, and move it into a source file on its own.

I commited the old hostname lookup fix from Armagetron to CVS, that should solve this problem for everyone.

Cool, i'll try download the new CVS version on the weekend to tryit out, else I'll chnage the hosts file. (It makes sense that it failed to me now since I had changed the hostname b/c I had two computers with the same hostname which stuffed up samba file serving)

@z-man: And no, I really felt bad putting the code where I did z-man. I wanted to create its own file but had too little experience with *nix programming to be confident enough in committing a major change to the overall file structure w/o f*cking it all up
