crash on connection w/ client to client/server

I'm having issues getting a client to connect to a multiplayer client/server.

I'm running an untouched HEAD build that is recent as of 10/25/02.

The console.log gives me these as the last few lines:


Sending request for file fps/base.lmale
Sending request for file fps/base.lmale.jpg
Sending request for file fps/base.lmale.png
Sending request for file fps/base.lmale.gif
Sending request for file fps/base.lmale.bmp
Sending request for file fps/data/shapes/player/player
Sending request for file fps/data/shapes/player/player.jpg
Validation required for shape: fps/data/shapes/player/player.dts
Mapping string: MissionStartPhase2 to index: 10


Then the client crashes with an unexpected error.

Has any one heard of this and knows what the problem is and/or how to fix it?

Thanks.

A little more testing has found that this issue comes up when a mac client tries to connect to a pc or vice-versa. It crashes at the beginning of the Loading Objects portion of the level loading screen. Our mac debugger (Project Builder) says that the program recieves an EXC_BAD_ACCESS signal from the line:

note->next = obj->mNotifyList;

from "void SimObject::deletNotify(SimObject* obj)" in the simBase.cc file.

If the line is removed, it gets the same error from several other locations. This puts me at a complete loss.

Thank you, Joel, for dealing with this one. He found that the problem was simply that aiPlayer.{cc, h} is not included in the PB and CW projects, though it is in the VC6 project. Simply compiling this file with the rest of the project seems to have solved the connection problem.
