Need help with a fatal error.

[wcho035]

[03-02-2020_22-09-00]   [FATAL]   A fatal error has occurred: vector::_M_range_check: __n (which is 3) >= this->size() (which is 1)

Hi, can someone tell me what this fatal error means?

Thanks.

[Solarius Scorch]

This can mean anything, as it only says that a value is outside of the expected range.

[wcho035]

I have narrow down the problem. The new terror mission in the mod is causing the crash.

Here is a code example.

So why am I keep getting that kind of errors?

[Meridian]

As always, a full log, a full mod and a save before the crash is needed.

With one log line and random ruleset, I can do exactly nothing.

Unless you make your mod available, 98% of your support questions will just stay unsolved.

[wcho035]

Thanks as always Meridian, I am planning a major overhaul of the Hybrid mod I have released. I will uploaded that with the new codes in the near future

[wcho035]

Hi, I am able to replicate the error with the publish mod of mine.

Please note this mod is an upgraded version of the Hybrid mod. There are bugs with the aliendeployment against the terrains associated with it. However, this is unrelated to the primary bug which I have raised this tread on.

Here is the error log, and the mod. Please load Save game Beta. Please check the date of the save game. It is the 18 of Jan, it will crash the next day.

To others whom are interested downloading this mod. Please note this mod is NOT a release version. I will release a proper version in a few weeks.

[wcho035]

The mod, itself.

Please note I firmly believe the crash has to do with the new terror missions, relating rul files are alienmission, missionscripts, region rul files and texture.

Edit by Meridian: attachment removed

[Meridian]

There is an alien mission STR_ALIEN_TERROR in STR_ANTARCTICA, race STR_FLOATER.

This mission has spawned a UFO, which is going to land in the 3rd area (missionSiteZone: 2) of the 4th zone (spawnZone: 3).

In other words, corrupt save.
Either you have modified the save manually; or you have changed the ruleset after the mission was already generated in the save.

[wcho035]

From what I can understand of the diagnosis. The error is related to the game engine trying to search for more areas than it has available. This makes a lot of sense, however, I did not modify vanilla Alien terror in the code. I only change the negative ref in texture assigned to -7 instead of -1.

I was expecting the bug would come from the OTHER new terror missions I had added.

[wcho035]

To fix this problem, would this new code helps?

To fix this problem, would this new code helps?

You don't need any fix in my opinion.

Just start a new game, so that you don't have a corrupt save and everything will work fine.

[wcho035]

Hi, thanks for all the help. Fixed the problem. Have to rewrite the coding for everything to do it.

Hi, thanks for all the help. Fixed the problem. Have to rewrite the coding for everything to do it.

Just for future reference if anyone else is reading this looking for similar issues:

There was no problem and there is no need to rewrite anything.
The ruleset was 100% correct.
The issue was an incompatible save (between different versions of the same mod), which can be solved either by modifying the save or by starting a new game.

Hi Meridian, do you know where I can find this section of the code in the ruleset?

Code: [Select]

  - type: STR_ALIEN_TERROR
    region: STR_ANTARCTICA
    race: STR_FLOATER
    nextWave: 3
    nextUfoCounter: 0
    spawnCountdown: 1590
    liveUfos: 0
    uniqueID: 2
    missionSiteZone: 2

I am still experiencing the same error.

Here is the Region.rul with the logs. I just can't figure out why it is looking for something beyond the missionzone.
