AutoUpdate / Artwork folder corrupt

w0dk4 · Post by **w0dk4** » Thu Apr 17, 2008 1:16 am

So, ASGS is running fine, updating stuff etc.. I get into Allegiance!

Once in there, it does some auto-update stuff. From now on, Allegiance will crash on every launch.
I have now tested this, and its definately the auto update.
ASGS reports:
• Allegiance exited with code: x5c9b035fed62d487

I have an older Alleg install on my disk, and if I delete the artwork folder and copy over the older artwork folder, it works (until I auto-update and the bugged files are back in place!)

wtf?

ok, what?

I tried to play on the beta lobby with the older artwork folder, but the beta crashes as soon as I hit training or as I am about to enter the lobby!

Just so you know, I tried now 2 times with a completely fresh Allegiance install (and then overwriting ASGS with the new files so I can run it on .NET 3.5)

Hmm, I have not had this problem, nor have others I am guessing otherwise they would be posting about it.

Have you tried to update/repair critical files? Not all the files are on AU, only the latest ones that have changed are.

Give that a try.

What is your registry entry for CfgFile?

Yes, but it only updates Allegiance.exe and ASGS client, I got all the other files via ASGS the first time I pushed the connect button, it downloaded all the igc core file back then etc..

cfg file is http://autoupdate.alleg.net/allegiance.cfg

Hmm, not sure what is up. You can try deleting and re-downloading the most recent files. These are the files that have been updated in my artwork folder since Jan 18. Cut and pasted from the last filelist.txt file:

3/18/2008 14:09:01 135014 D27D753E bsg0.32F.igc
3/18/2008 14:09:13 253304 9B27DE01 bsg_galactica.mdl
3/18/2008 14:09:24 229900 BA299823 bsg_pegasus.mdl

3/18/2008 14:09:49 632 93BD9DB3 dradis_stlbmp.mdl
3/18/2008 14:13:25 626414 51DF7875 warpcorex11.igc

If you can run filemon you might catch what file allegiance is crashing on. Have it monitor just the artwork folder.

Its got something to do with sounds.. though I cannot really narrow it down. Weird..

Is the last Allegiance build on the SVN?
Because then I will just build a debug version and try to debug it.

Yes, but the FAZR4 branch has been updated to reflect the pending R4 'patch' release. But none of the changes are in the sound/artwork area so a debug build should help you out.

The main trunk has what is now on the live servers.

ok, I downloaded the latest full Allegiance Setup and reinstalled - it worked without problems.
