I was scripting some stuff on my server, mainly working on some client-side stuff. I had the server open, and the client connected to the server, and was alt-tabbing between the client, server, and Notepad++. At some points, when I reloaded the scripts in the server console, the client would randomly have 1 out of 2 issues when I alt-tabbed back to the game:
-The client would freeze with a black screen, and crash when a key was pressed. At that point, I was given the option to report the crash, which I have done 3 times.
-The script would not be re-downloaded. I'm guessing this has to do with the file size of the client script not changing, so it isn't re-downloaded as it appears to not have changed. That's just a guess though, I don't know how this works in LU.
Specifications of the PC I am using:
-AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition
-XFX Radeon HD 6870
-4 GB DDR3 RAM
-Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
The game is running with the following settings:
-1920X1080X32
-Fullscreen
-~30% Brightness
-Rest is MAXIMUM
(some of the above info is probably unnecessary, lol)
The version of LU I am using is 0.1.0.11.

Some scripting abilities may require a server restart, and reloading the scripts after your client is paused for a long time may cause a crash as well. I would recommend disconnecting if alt-tabbing for awhile, and if it's just a moment, restart the server completely if it's a major change, and /reconnect the client.

The reloading of client scripts can be dodgy at times since the testers were too lazy to test it properly :P
I was looking at your crash reports last night and will try to fix them. The client-side script reloading may need rethinking though.
P.S. nice specs :) rivals my own system :P

hm... VRocker have memory leak, I have AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE too :D (but my GPU is lower)
-
Another thing I was wondering - where to client files go when they are downloaded? Not that I'm trying to snoop around at other peoples scripts, I just want to see if the script is actually being update and not loaded when it is reloaded after a minor change.

Thanks. Final question - is there a way to prevent/deter theft of client-side scripts? Can they be compiled just like LUA scripts?

I remember VRocker mentioning a script that you can host on the server that compiles them, but he might be the one you'd want to ask about that.

The script can be found Here (http://liberty-unleashed.co.uk/Scripts/Compiler.zip)
To use it, load it in your server and type 'compile <script name>' in the server console. E.g. compile MyScript/MyScript.nut
It will output a .cnut with the same name. Then its just a case of telling the server to use the cnut instead of the nut :)

Was the crash issue ever resolved?
