Hello, In 2.6.0 and 2.6.1, when loading the soldier starter, I get a "Segmentation Fault."
The problem seems to be in rip_md2_frame_name.
My Log.txt is empty.

Hmm I think I had this error long ago before. Check if Paladin Starter, Wizard Starter and Bishopia City works.

(Those are all modules I've made myself)

Paladin Starter works, Wizard Starter doesn't, and Bishopia City I cannot test right now, for it is locked away.

Hmm seems like it is having trouble loading specific models that are only in the wizard and soldier starters.

My guess is that this also includes only modules that are made by me and not original ones...

If you want to cheat, put :[BEAT] into the bottom of any menu.txt of the module you want marked as beaten. That way you won't have to complete all the modules again Wink

The newest code in the trunk does this automatically if Developer Mode is set to TRUE (in setup.txt)

Just tested Bishopia City, and it "Segmentation Fault".

I think this may be only a Linux related bug.

Zefz, check to make sure that the md2 loader is using the correct file name string in rip_md2_frame_name().

I just fixed an error in 2.7.7 like this. It used to be that we were using a global buffer for the strings, but I think you need to pass it the frame name string as an argument.

Ah, I see. It will take a bit more work to fix this though. 2.6.1 doesn't use the new Md2 model file loading structures and constants, meaning a simple MD2_Model type won't work here.
