Actually, I'm impressed you were able to press two keys simultaneously
when typing the exclamation mark, and don't get me started on the nonce
word "sadues".
Meery Christams and a hapy NEw yAer!

All of our buildable objects - detpack, dispenser, sg - run the code

vphysics

well.
void CFFBuildableObject::Explode( void )
{
VPROF_BUDGET( "CFFBuildableObject::Explode",
VPROF_BUDGETGROUP_FF_BUILDABLE );
// MUST DO THIS or CreateExplosion crashes HL2
m_takedamage = DAMAGE_NO;
// Remove bounding box (other models follow this pattern...)
SetSolid( SOLID_NONE );
// Do the explosion
DoExplosion();
// Notify player to tell them they can build

m_hOwner = NULL;
// Remove entity from game
UTIL_Remove( this );
}
And that's it. There's also a method for 'quietly' removing a buildable
object (like when dismantling) but it's the same code minus the
DoExplosion() call.
Anyway, we've never experienced/received minidumps from people w/ weird
physics related errors so perhaps you need some other steps in
addition to
using UTIL_Remove().

Our recently released modification (Fistful of Frags) is suffering some
stability issues. Hope someone can bring some light to these serious
servers
crashes. I posted another similar issue in this list, and as I said
before,
I never modified any part of the physics code. Now I'm starting to
understand what's going on, seems like a physic entity was removed, but
server is still trying to use it so finds a null pointer and
crashes. Is
that rigth?
These issues were noticed only during maximum stress, once the mod was
released. They may happen rarely or not, depends the way physics are
stressed I guess.
I'm using UTIL_Remove in several parts of the game, example: a
cowboy hat
is
created (falls to ground), and after some seconds is deleted. There are
other items deleted in a similar way. Should I use other method
different
from UTIL_Remove?
And a last question. Can server performance ( low FPS) make these
issues
worse? Because they tend to happen more in our own server, which
sometimes
is even below 10 FPS.
Hope this helps, these are 3 different call stacks we are seeing
repitedly.
If you need any other info plz let me know.
