KAG Bad Delta / MSG_INVENTORY_PUTIN + Network ID for Blobs

Roughly after 30 minutes after server start, players start getting randomly disconnected due to "too much failed deltas", with the console getting spammed by this.

Players also usually get disconnected in bulk, usually with 4-6 other players - this becomes more frequent the longer the server is running.
Aside from that, I also noticed that network IDs for blobs aren't being recycled when a blob dies, eventually causing it to overflow at 65535 and start over at 0, referencing to already existing blobs with that Network ID.

This would be really great if this could be fixed.

 

It's the Territory Control mod. I've been trying to find the cause for a while, but it doesn't seem to happen on localhost or a locally hosted dedicated server.
Also, it's been happening in the past, but not as frequently as now. I'll ask Vamist if he can host an earlier version and see if anything's changed.

 

Could be the flamethrowers making an excessive amount of blobs?

 

Well, it creates around 10 blobs per second, the rest are just clientside particles. But it still doesn't explain the MSG_INVENTORY_PUTIN message. People told me that it sometimes happened when they were dropping items out of the bomber, but it doesn't utilize server_PutInInventory() at all. It just changes the quantity of the material inside the inventory and creates another blob under itself.

Also, this just happened when the server changed to next map.

 

Sometimes Territory Control server lets me stay on for a long period other times it can be shorter than 2 or 3 minutes or its an instant crash after rejoining the server (it connects but sometimes you just see tons of unknown players joined <team name> and than disconnects or just disconnects you outright) making me have to close the client.

Currently the disconnects can happen even when there is less than 10 total people playing on a fresh map etc.

The disconnects and crap happen almost anytime.

We do not even need the FLAMER to cause these crashes.
Sometimes I get disconnected when people are spamming bombs from bombers.
Sometimes the disconnects happen when putting items into storage.

Could some of it be glitching when people are storing items all at once with the quick store X buttons?

Here is my console files in case it can help (last 4). Man the console logs are large haha.

 

The flame blobs are used to set nearby tiles and entities on fire, along with some particle emission. They're used by flamethrowers, incendiary bombs, oil drums and such. But yes, I may reduce the amount of them being spawned.

Also, according to Vamist, changing sv_fastdeltas in autoconfig.cfg to 1 causes the server to crash.

 

Thanks, I'll check for these.

Okay, I've gone through the onHit and checked if they returned the same value on server and client, and I didn't find anything odd.
Here are some extra client logs.

Those errors are so frustrating to see, even if it's not my mod >:o
They don't really help with debugging either :/

 

i was once making an epic action on fun ctf, there was map with a huge pit in middle, you couldn't make a bridge over it, me and a few friends thought of a plan to get to their base with a bomber, take their flag and fly back. we would drop minikegs on their base. all was going well. we got flag, rekt their base, we're coming back, flying over the pit, BAD DELTAS. i wanted to kill myself. it kicked 90% of the players from the server.

 

Dunno if this helps, but me and my sister have noticed strange damage behavior.
-Sometimes u get randomly wounded, is because sometimes, a replica of your character appears somewhere in the map and if players hurt it, they hurt you.
-Some players can stab through shield, maybe network related, never seen it happen on other gamemodes though.
-If u got 3 hearths left, the rifle will kill you even if it does only deal 2 hearths damage.
-Slash sometimes doesnt stun.
-If someone travel via mine or hall replica appears for few secs, just like on the issue above, and its possible to kill the player with this.
