HELP: Map freeze error

[ShadowIce]

Can someone tell me which EXACT line is used when the player is INBETWEEN map transitions?

[unnown]

sub playerwarp :)

[ShadowIce]

no dude, the client source, not main.txt

[unnown]

sub playerwarp…

search first then ask...btw..it was in the server...not the client...
there's the inbetween part of maps,
and if you want the recieving map part just search that in the client :)

and sub playerwarp is source...

[ShadowIce]

ok, here's the line to fix this. i just dont know how.

Call SendData("refresh" & END_CHAR)

use this to refresh map. how, idk, but if you figure it out, plz tell us about it :)

thanks! :)

You're actual question at line 1 is answered by unnown, if you want to get the bug fixed, post your whole sub.

[ShadowIce]

i think its this sub.

```
Sub PlayerWarp(ByVal Index As Long, ByVal MapNum As Long, ByVal X As Long, ByVal Y As Long)
    Dim OldMap As Long

    On Error GoTo WarpErr

    ' Check for subscript out of range.
    If Not IsPlaying(Index) Then
        Exit Sub
    End If

    ' Check for subscript out of range.
    If MapNum < 1 Or MapNum > MAX_MAPS Then
        Exit Sub
    End If

    ' Save current number map the player is on.
    OldMap = GetPlayerMap(Index)

    If Not OldMap = MapNum Then
        Call SendLeaveMap(Index, OldMap)
    End If

    Call SetPlayerMap(Index, MapNum)
    Call SetPlayerX(Index, X)
    Call SetPlayerY(Index, Y)

    ' Check to see if anyone is on the map.
    If GetTotalMapPlayers(OldMap) = 0 Then
        PlayersOnMap(OldMap) = NO
    End If

    ' Sets it so we know to process npcs on the map
    PlayersOnMap(MapNum) = YES

    Call SendDataToMap(GetPlayerMap(Index), "sound" & SEP_CHAR & "warp" & END_CHAR)

    Player(Index).GettingMap = YES

    Call SendDataTo(Index, "CHECKFORMAP" & SEP_CHAR & MapNum & SEP_CHAR & Map(MapNum).Revision & END_CHAR)

    Call SendInventory(Index)
    Call SendIndexInventoryFromMap(Index)
    Call SendIndexWornEquipmentFromMap(Index)

    If SCRIPTING = 1 Then
        MyScript.ExecuteStatement "Scripts\Main.txt", "OnMapLoad " & Index & "," & OldMap & "," & MapNum
    End If

    Exit Sub

WarpErr:
    Call AddLog("PlayerWarp error for player index " & Index & " on map " & GetPlayerMap(Index) & ".", "logs\ErrorLog.txt")
End Sub
```
it is whatever is linked up to this:

```
                ' Show player that a new map is loading
                Call DrawText(TexthDC, 36, 36, "Receiving map...", QBColor(BRIGHTCYAN))
            End If
```

WHEN does it freeze? None of my maps freeze.

[ShadowIce]

Ok, both me & agoraphobic & maybe anna can agree that the maps SOMETIMES freeze when you go from map to map. if you keep going back & forth FAST, you'll see why.

[cheatking]

Meaby make a timer and after so long it reloads map?

[ShadowIce]

well, agoraphobic already tried that. but to no avail. this issue NEEDS to be taken care of ASAP. the editor would make us look horrible if we sold our games. so ANY ideas would be GREATLY appreciated :)

Thanks!

[ShadowIce]

anyone?

[unnown]

lemme try :)

i can't reproduce this, i made 2 full maps, gave them npc's animations, everything

then put another player on one of the maps,

switched constantly, but nothing

[ShadowIce]

you have to do it fast. and pressing the arrow keys at about the same time helps too.

[unnown]

i did, i constantly switched, nothing happened on a fresh source,

[ShadowIce]

do i have to show u a video? cuz i will :)
