Im still pretty new to linux/ubuntu - so maybe im doing the debugging wrong.

My Server has been Seg Faulting quite alot, not sure whats triggering it.

So - I enabled core dumps, and I used gdb to backtrace into it to find the failure.

(Am I doing it right?)

Does anyone know what could be causing this error?

The where command in gdb gives me this - I guess I know now that its nwnx_optimizations.
@virusman - are you still working on optimizations? If so - hope this helps?

Based on info from my players, it sounds like the crash may be associated with interactions with the nwnx_areas plugin.
The areas in question, that were being explored, were areas that had been generated by the areas plugin.

Yes, I've mentioned in another topic that nwnx_areas isn't stable.
Some time ago I've made some tests and it's seems that map pin memory isn't reallocated when pc was before on module but is not in time when you load new area, also area count field in player object isn't changed.

So when player enters again and server is trying to access his map pin memory for new area, segfault occur.

I've made some approach to fix this, but wasn't successful.

Did yours also crash in nwnx_optimizations though?

I'm hoping by removing nwnx_optimizations that it will remove or at least aleveate the crashing.
The crash dump puts nwnx optimizations as the origin of the crash.
Im hoping it gets resolved by this move - as my module is a heavy user of nwnx areas, and I just moved from Windows to Linux out of necessity - (nwnx chat and some others dont want to work on EC2 Servers)

optimizations hooks main loop, so it will always show up on bt.
nwnx_connect is also present because of hook in CServerExoAppInternal::HandleMessage

Crash is related with 0x490 offset of CNWSCreature, which is pointer to minimap data.

Code:
        080d9326: esi = *( *(CNWSCreature + 0x490) + *(ebp - 0x3c) * 4);
        080d9329: do {
            080d9330: if(*(edi + ebx) != 0) {
                080d9334: eax = edi;
                080d9336: if(edi < 0) {
                    080d9338: eax = edi + 7;
                }
                080d933d: edx = eax >> 3;
                080d9340: eax = edx * 8;
                080d9349: ecx = edi - eax;
                080d9350: eax = 1 << cl;
CRASH -->       080d9352: *(edx + esi) = *(edx + esi) | al;
            }
            080d9355: edi = edi + 1;
        } while(edi < *(ebp - 0x40));

Hey VirusMan - any chance you could have a look at the code for nwnx areas and suggest a solution?

Sorry, I don't have much free time lately.. It'll probably be like this until mid-September.
But if you can create a test module that can be used to easily reproduce this, I may be able to fix the bug.

Not sure of the steps to reproduce it on command- Maybe Axs knows the steps?

In any case- I managed to get a dump of the registers from a crash that happened today:
I don't know if this helps much?

I'm still getting segfaults in DropTURD and also the names of areas don't show when hovering over a character in the party bar...

So... forget what I said. Very Happy I'm going to delay my plans for this.

Has anyone used this or the windows version on a production server?

I use the nwnx_areas from Maxrocks branch on my production server.
its very stable.

It originally had a bug where if you log in before the area is generated, and then enter the area, that the area would be pitch black.

Its now resolved in Maxrocks version.

I have occasionally seen the issue with Area names not showing when hovering over players in the party, but its not a game breaker.

So far no crashes on windows (been using it for maybe a year or so)
