skymansxeno Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 Hey, I got my mugen working really well on my computer (at least the sound and the picture and everything) but it still has a big problem. Sometimes when it is trying to load the next character it shuts down and gives me a message like: Shuting down Allegro Exiting due to signal SIGSEGV a bunch of numbers and gibberish I don't understand and at the bottom it says Call frame traceback EIPS or something like that. If someone could has a clue as to what the problem is I would much appreciate it if they could point me in the right direction or tell me I'm screwed if I'm screwed. Thanks
The TeamPlayer Posted March 16, 2004 Posted March 16, 2004 Does your computer have much memory? Usually large characters can crash slower PCs.
samoht Posted March 16, 2004 Posted March 16, 2004 My Mugen has the same problem. This may be a side effect of using VDMS. Lord knows what type of damage this error may be causing.
skymansxeno Posted March 16, 2004 Author Posted March 16, 2004 Hmmm....I don't think it is a VDMS problem becuase I think it did this to me at least once before I used VDMS on it. BUT...I could be mistaken about that. Thats interesting about the memory thing. But my computer does have a pretty good amount of memory. It doesn't have much ram though, thats for sure. It's kind of good to know that I'm not the only one with this problem though. Maybe someone out there has solved it? I hope its not doing any damage to my computer though. That scares the crap out of me.
The TeamPlayer Posted March 16, 2004 Posted March 16, 2004 Before I upgraded the ram in my PC I would get allegro errors occasionally. I am 95% sure that is what is causing your errors. And it is not damaging your PC.
skymansxeno Posted March 16, 2004 Author Posted March 16, 2004 Okay, that makes sense. I was planing on getting more ram this summer anyways. Guess I'll have to wait till then to play mugen correctly. Thanks for the help.
samoht Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 I know it's not much, but I have 512 megs of good ram on my computer. How much will I need? A gig? 2 gigs?
The TeamPlayer Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 I know it's not much, but I have 512 megs of good ram on my computer. How much will I need? A gig? 2 gigs?512 megs should be well enough.That is how much I have and I have not had an allegro error since upgrading. Perhaps you have a character that is programmed badly... that too can cause an allegro error. Maybe your processor is too slow? I have a Athlon 1.8 ghz myself.
samoht Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 A Pentium 4 1.6ghz. I think you're right about the characters. I may have to fill in the blanks on some of them. thanks!
skymansxeno Posted March 17, 2004 Author Posted March 17, 2004 Well shucks, I guess the ram isn't the problem. I will test this threory about the characters tonight on my computer. I somehow doubt this is the problem. I seem to remember that I had only a few characters when I first had mugen and it still did it. But maybe one of those characters is the problem. I will check tonight.
skymansxeno Posted March 18, 2004 Author Posted March 18, 2004 Well, I tried playing Mugen last night with only a few characters in it, ken(from emuarena.it), lui kang (from mugentomb.cjb.net), psylock (from can't remember) and politank z (also from emuarena.it) and it still gave me the message. Let me tell you something interesting that happened to me while I was trying to use a screenpack in my Mugen. Having misread the instructions for it, I accidently put my select.def file in a subfolder of the data folder (the subfolder for the screenpack). When I did this and tried to open mugen, it gave the same exact message automatically; not just when it tried to load a character. And then I created a new folder to see if it did the same thing and it did. Is my mugen having trouble reading the select.def file of something?
skymansxeno Posted March 19, 2004 Author Posted March 19, 2004 Sorry about the the triple post (I usually don't do a double) but last night I went ahead and reinstalled mugen and played it with only the KFM character that it came with it and it still did it. So I would say, I am almost certain it is not a character problem (at least not in the way you're talking about). I'm stumped. I think I might just be totally screwed.
samoht Posted March 19, 2004 Posted March 19, 2004 The best way to figure these things out is to isolate the problem by trouble shooting. The solution may be extremely simple. Either way, I'll keep plugging away at it. Good luck!
skymansxeno Posted March 19, 2004 Author Posted March 19, 2004 You know I tried to figure this out on my own for a couple of weeks or so before I came here. I've tried messing with almost every kind of setting that there is to try to figure this thing out. But I will continue messing with it. I refuse to play Mugen with this kind of problem. Good luck to you too. I'll let you know if I figure it out. Thanks for your suggestions Teamplayer, I appreciate it.
Ranma-Fan Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 Ok it's like this when i play my mugen game there's no problem at all, but.If i run it with WDMsound, the sound is good but after like one match, i select a player and then i get the exact messege as you, i don't have much RAM but when i play my mugen game (Not "Run with VDMsound") it dosen't give me the messege.
