PATCH

[hvc123]

HI ALL,

im a bit of a noob when it comes to applying patches on linux so i wondered if someone could walk me through applying the host_error: patch ( this one

Hi. Well first of all.. why do want to apply that patch to such an old version and were have you gotten it from? In trunk this seem to have been applied during bugfixing already.

But basicly you save the lines above into a file mypatch.txt or so go the file that should be patched and run:
patch < mypatch.txt

yer i just noticed this patch is old but im getting the game crash error : 10000000000 jumps on level 15 (key run)

the version im using is 2.4

[esteel]

Where did you get that patch from and what made you think it might help with that problem?!? I think you have been confused by something..

That crash on level 15 is know and fixed already.. See here: http://forums.alientrap.local/viewtopic.php?t=2824

well i get this error

HOST_ERROR: Server runaway loop counter hit limit of 10000000 jumps.

so i did a search here on the forum and i got pointed to the SVN site where the UTIL>QC patch is.

however i can see that its the wrong version for the ver of Nexius that im running.

i am running v2.4

help !! i still cant get level 15 Single player to run

I guess it best to forget about that patch above, that was for an entirely different thing and also needs to be applied to the source code so you would need to compile Nexuiz afterwards.

Have you instead used the link i posted and installed the hotfix?

yer i used this http://forums.alientrap.local/viewtopic.php?t=2824 and now it works fine

thanx

ps
althought there is the 'testing only' in the bottom right hand corner

[esteel]

Well that hotfix IS for testing, its not final and that 'testing only' there to make sure people will not upload this as a final fix on download pages.. this already happend once so we want to make sure.
But glad it helped. Please report problems you might encounter in the other thread. Thanks.
