Worldserver buffer overrun

12/29/2017 18:41 firesqual#1

Hello,

I have an issue when i'm trying to start my worldserver with official v16 maps

If i remove WdMadrigal from CoreServer.ini, Worldserver will launch fine, if i put it back it will crash BUT if i remove 4/5 more maps but keep WdMadrigal, it will work fine again. I wonder if there is a map count limit or something like that..

Here is my debug :

You're probably spawning to much monsters.

Is there a way to maybe increase the maximum spawn limit or maybe delay the spawn so the world don't spawn too much monsters at the same time ?

Go in Source -> Wordfile.cpp and look for BOOL CWorld::ReadRespawn( CScript& s )
then you can edit as example:

Code:

pInfo->m_nMaxcb		 = s.GetNumber();

Code:

#ifdef __INCREASED_SPAWN
	if( dwType == OT_MOVER )
	{
		long nMobSpawn = (long)( s.GetNumber() * 1.25F );
		if( nMobSpawn > 64 )
			nMobSpawn = 64;
		pInfo->m_nMaxcb = nMobSpawn;
	}
	else
		pInfo->m_nMaxcb = s.GetNumber();
#else // __INCREASED_SPAWN
	pInfo->m_nMaxcb		 = s.GetNumber();
#endif // __INCREASED_SPAWN

1.25f is the Rate of Monster Spawning -> 1.0 is normal | Double Monster Spawns -> 2.0 (Giants too)..

He *maybe* has a problem that too many movers are spawned and you suggest to spawn even more?

This was a option to increase and decrease the spawn.. :rtfm::rolleyes:

Well that doesnt really help me since my problem is that too many movers are spawning at the same time (i think)

That would be causing a buffer overflow (and only if a buffer size is not enough for something) or 100% CPU usage (for whatever reason), but not an AfxMemoryException I guess.

It would be interesting how much RAM you have and how much memory your Worldserver needs when that crash occurs. It might be that 2,1GB are exceeded, which is the limit for 32bit applications.

Taken from [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] "On x86, applications have 2GB of virtual memory out of 4GB (the other 2GB are reserved for the system).
On x64, these two other GB can now be accessed by 32bit applications.
In order to achieve this, a flag has to be set in the file's internal format..."

That limit can be bypassed in a x64 bits OS according to this guy but this is not suitable IMO in any case for the OP issue, still can be useful to know if there is a lack of memory or not...

Well my Worldserver only have 1.3gb ram so i don't think that's what caused my issue. And my CPU is at 2% usage so xD

Nope, it is 100% official v19
