I'm trying to resurrect the Jetski from the HL2 Beta. I found the serverside
file still shipping with Ep2's Mod code so I figured I'd give it a shot. I
got the code to compile, but now it crashes the map if I start with a
prop_vehicle_jetski in it. (Added a FGD entry based off the Airboat, uses
Not having it client-side produces an error, not a crash though.What's wrong
with crashing while it loads? Debugging should work regardless of the
game-state :S

I guess maybe the question was of how to debug it. Build it in Debug Config,
and then put a breakpoint...where? Or just wait until it crashes and then
step through?
/me is new to debugging something this big.

It crashes at
m_pVehicle-Update( gpGlobals-frametime, m_controls);
in fourwheelvehiclephysics.cpp, with the error: Unhandled exception at
0x0e60f730 in hl2.exe: 0xC005: Access violation reading location
0x.
However, I'm not sure/can't find what is actually crashing. If I look under
Whatever line it is pointing at, that line contains an access to a
NULL-pointer (Access violation reading location 0x).I have too
little information to find out how to fix that.
That CXX0030-error could just be because of insufficient debug-information
and code-optimazations.

How do I find which part of that line points to a NULL-pointer?

Ehm the pointer itself would be the null pointer?
So m_pVehicle is a NULL pointer, not enough to know when or how the
pointer should get something to point to though.

I mean, I know which line the code is breaking on. How do I find out which
part of the line (m_pVehicles, or the Update, or gpGlobals, or Frametime or
m_Controls, etc) is causing the problem? Or is it caused by the entire line?
Or is there not enough information provided by the engine/crash to
You can see the values the variables are holding on that line. Use that to
figure out which is bonkers.

From your questions, it
You are correct on the C++ statement Bot. However, I'm not entirely new to
it, no.
Anyways, I set a breakpoint on my Jetski's Think function. This gets called
when the level is loaded. I go into the BaseClass::Think() function, which
takes me into vehicle_base.cpp's Think. Then we go back to
Hey everyone. I'm having some performance issues with my mod, and I've
traced it back to the particle effects that populate many of our maps.
So, I have a quad core CPU. Naturally, core 3 and 4 are unused.
Now, here's the issue.
Core 1 is sitting at 100%, while Core 2 is only sitting at ~30%. It
If you have a quad core and you're having problems with the particle effects
being too expensive, probably you need to lighten up on those particle
effects. Not everybody has a quad core. Open up the showbudget panel to see
how long your particles are taking to render.

Well the particle library isn't multithreaded as far as I know, so you can't
do that. It uses SIMD on one core.
