Most plugins segfault while trying to load with something akin to this:

Code: Select all

Looks like it's crashing on shutdown, after throwing an exception and before displaying it. You could try running under gdb, using 'catch throw' to set a breakpoint on 'throw' calls, to see what's doing it (IIRC, one is automatically generated during GLX init by Ogre, but this can be safely passed).

If, for example, you move the Balmora Stilt Strider to Caldera, the resulting plugin will do this:
- The Stilt Strider still belongs to Balmora, i.e. the cell where it was originally defined.
- The original reference gets some new data fields, essentially saying "moved to Caldera".
- Caldera is given the information that "something was moved here", but not what it is.

This sounds odd. I can not see any data structure in our ESX documentation that would allow for such a thing. I was under the impression that the original reference was deleted and then a copy of this reference is created in the new cell.
Are you absolutely positive about this moving procedure and do you have any information about the data structures used?

Any news on this?

Nope. It looks like mark76 has gone inactive again.

Rumors about my early demise have been greatly exaggerated. I had to overcome some nasty health issues - couldn't literaly catch a breath And it grew slow and subtly, so I didn't realize it until it was serious (shortly after pushing my branch to the repo some weeks ago). Now I am taking actions against it, but recovery is also quite slow. Plus, on my Real Life side, everything is quite turbulent as well - another conference coming up in two weeks, and this one's quite badly organized. Fortunately, this will be the last conference this year

Enough off-topic stuff. Last weekend, I finally started to catch up with the recent developments and discussions, so just to let you know - I am not dead yet. It will take a few more days to look though everything, though. So, if you feel there is something I should specifically know, feel free to point me towards it, it will definitely help getting back in tune with everything.

(And just in case somebody is wondering - in Real Life, I am a theoretical astrophysicist, with PhD and everything, still at university, caught in the eternal post-doc loop. In other words - my life is composed of many unusual things, including visiting conferences around the world, wasting considerable amounts of time and nerves, all for *maybe* getting a contract extension. But my recent health issues were completely unrelated to either Real Life or OpenMW - a construction site just before my window did produce a lot of unhealthy stuff.)

Hope you are feeling better soon! And good luck with your post-doc work.

couldn't literaly catch a breath

Literally catching a breath?

Good luck mark76. Wish you feel better soon.

Wow, theoretical astrophysicist. What area do you specialize in? I got a bachelors in electrical engineering but minored in physics.

Thanks for helping out with the project. Glad you're on the road to recovery. I bet all that traveling for conferences exposes you to some nasty germs.
