Thanks for the info, I'll look into getting this info to you and running the script accelerator.
Here's a few more we had the past week. Is it still the illegal damage property?

I know it's a lot of logs and I don't mean to make it difficult for you, just want to make the crashes go away. I'll put on the accelerator like you suggested.
ALso, how do you set the 3GB flag for the NWN2Server on Win7 x64? |

Avoid giving any action orders to a creature that is still transitioning, i.e. for which GetArea() doesn't return a valid area. |
Would just running clearallactions() on the modules on exit area script fix this?
Conceptually I can't think of how this could happen where a creature that is transitioning would be assigned an action unless we (or the game) has some delayed action command berried some where.
Or can this happen if someone has their action queue full and one of the items is to open a lock and then they transition?
Thanks for looking as well! |

Script code could try and queue actions up while a transition is in progress. Especially any time you queue an action up with a DelayCommand, you need to be careful about that. |

Mustang:
http://pastebin.com/FeeG3JrA -- try with the NWScript Accelerator, difficult to say for sure.
http://pastebin.com/R7vccwYm -- ran AIActionPickupItem on a creature without an item repository, possibly. Not yet sure what would cause this without more details.
http://pastebin.com/5ZKPGjtr -- unsolved issue relating to JStar pathing code in dense pathing situations; been reported before, but not enough information to fix it.
http://pastebin.com/WSesFuQT -- same empty item repository crash.
http://pastebin.com/YLD2A6Cy -- likely creature trying to move while in transition.
http://pastebin.com/mDpkdJ9n -- tried to copy a null game effect; possibly from a bad parameter to a function returning an 'effect' object which doesn't handle bad parameters, but difficult to say after the fact witout more information.
http://pastebin.com/AMk6GPh6 -- same empty item repository crash
http://pastebin.com/cTN2iEWk -- same empty item repository crash
If you can provide more details about a specific action that was happening when these crashes occurred we may be able to make more progress. |

Thanks Skywing. One last question if you have time.
That can happen with the function SetLocked().
I'm just wondering if it has to be an action function (ActionUnlockObject), or SetLocked() would do it to?
Thanks |

| That was from an action queue entry (e.g. from ActionUnlock). |

I have two questions about this. One, I've installed the NWScript Accelerator, and there are some scripts it gives errors for. Is that something I should send to you as well? Secondly, do you want me to simply send you the NCS and NDB of all our scripts?

To be honest, I'm not sure how to find this out. There's a lot of players on the server when this happens (over 40), and I've had a lot of difficulty in figuring out who was doing what. |

What are the errors? And yes, having the ncs/ndb's for the scripts may be helpful for investigating some types of issues, if you can arrange that.
The accelerator plugin may often expose pre-existing script bugs like loops that were exceeding the instruction limit but were going silently reported before. But we'll have to see what the errors were to identify what was going on. |

Hi Skywing,
we've recently had some server crashes in specific situation.
Here's the last crash log I have: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9981963/nwn2_server_errorlog.txt
I think it's related to destroying a store, but I can't find anything wrong in scripts... can you help me please?
Thanks a lot!

This appears to be happening while the server is trying to compute an inventory update message for a store that the player has open, yes. It does not appear like the server handled the store object going away very well.
Can you ensure that nobody has a store open before you delete it? |

Ok so I'll check area is empty before destroying stores. 
Thanks you very much.

From the looks of it the crash is caused by a player trying to acquire an item before his inventory has been initialized. I can't think of any way this could happen under normal circumstances, so I doubt there's much you can do to fix this without messing around with the machine code.
You can try fixing the crash by rerouting the call to CItemRepository::FindBlankPosition at 0x5CD25E to a function that returns 0 if the this pointer (ECX) is null, and runs CItemRepository::FindBlankPosition (0x5D9800) otherwise. It may be trading this crash for another one, but it's worth a shot. |
