anyone have any ideas what would cause the game to crash on death in a custom map?

/com_maxhunks ? Is your map large with big textures ?

You may also check your server log ...

not crashing on a server, its like on single player, and its a little bitty map. A training map to be exact. I can post it if anyone wants to have a look and see whats going on.

Crashes as you described, maybe it's a spawning problem ?

Code:

[...]
CL_InitCGame:  1.58 seconds
64 msec to draw all images
Com_TouchMemory: 0 msec
^6C^7acatoes^7 entered the game
MODE is unbound, use controls menu to set.
^6C^7acatoes^7 was in the wrong place.

[game frozen on click to respawn!]
[killed it !]

Code:

Received signal 15, exiting...
----- CL_Shutdown -----
Closing SDL audio device...
SDL audio device shut down.
RE_Shutdown( 1 )
-----------------------
----- Server Shutdown (Signal caught) -----
==== ShutdownGame ====
AAS shutdown.
----- Server Shutdown (Server fatal crashed: VM_Free(qagame) on running vm) -----
==== ShutdownGame ====
recursive error after: VM_Free(qagame) on running vm

nope, atleast i dont think so. Ive tried multiple spawners, and it doesnt matter. Even used more then one in the same area. Same thing. Like I said, im LOST.

if you have a black screen and bugs when you move on your map: when you make the cube(its first step) you must press Hollow and then press Esc.

P.S its for GtkRadiant.

Oh, i download your map and launch, its cool and work fine. I understood your problem:when you die in lava the game frozen(and my computer too :p ).
I see when i die in lava the chat message is: "FM|WilgoX was in the wrong place". Set lava settings to "FM|Wilgox flip into lava."

P.S where you found the was in the wrong place thing? 0_0

If you want to put lava in your level, make a cube, give it the common/nodraw texture, and the upper face should have a lava shader like liquids/lavahell_xdm1. It doesn't need lights or special settings.

oh..

never thought about the nodraw + shadder way. I'll try that. I used caulk instead of the nodraw.

What i did was just a triggerdmg 9999 on top of the lava brush to cause instant death.

Altho that still doesnt explain the crashing. unless its the trigger. I'll play with this more, if I dont get anywhere, I'll post up the raw map file.

That method doesn't use any triggers since the shader itself contains the info about the lava. You can use a trigger_hurt and put it to 9999 to make player instant death, but IMHO that's unnecesary.
