Alright, discovered this, as it started today, when an Imm rebooted MW after bombing an area. but MW never came back up, well, I set about finding out why, and low and behold....

I've been adding fixes to the MUD from the SMAUG fix list and the obj_queue fix solved the problem. :smile: As for the global_board problem, it looks like it might have to be changed on how it loa https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/cleanupmemory-1494/&p=8033#p8033 Wed, 2 Aug 2006 17:17:30 CDT SmaugFUSS nobody@example.com (Anavel) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/cleanupmemory-1494/&p=8024#p8024 for the load_char_obj memory leak... characters aren't automatically added to the first_char last_char list on load... they are added once they get to CON_PRESS_ENTER i believe. :P search descriptors for d->character. https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/cleanupmemory-1494/&p=8024#p8024 Sun, 30 Jul 2006 20:22:21 CDT SmaugFUSS nobody@example.com (kiasyn) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/cleanupmemory-1494/&p=8023#p8023 Has anyone had problems with the global boards? Every time I shutdown it shows all gnotes in every board and that can become quite spamful. :( [code] Total strings in hash 0: 1 Len: 3 Lnks: 2 Str: All Total strings in hash 3: 1 Len: 7 Lnks: 2 Str: Testing Total strings in hash 7: 1 Len: 10 Lnks: 1 Str: Testing.

Then I saw the output, and the mods I did were changing the message displaying. I was thinking it could have something to with clean_obj_queue() or extract_obj, but the item scraps are the only things that pop up. https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/cleanupmemory-1494/&p=6603#p6603 Sat, 12 Nov 2005 21:39:36 CST SmaugFUSS nobody@example.com (Anavel) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/cleanupmemory-1494/&p=6602#p6602 Well I'm at a loss. I don't see anything wrong with the function. Were there any specific steps you followed to make this happen? https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/cleanupmemory-1494/&p=6602#p6602 Sat, 12 Nov 2005 21:09:45 CST SmaugFUSS nobody@example.com (Samson) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/cleanupmemory-1494/&p=6601#p6601 [code] void make_scraps( OBJ_DATA * obj ) { char buf[MAX_STRING_LENGTH]; OBJ_DATA *scraps, *tmpobj; CHAR_DATA *ch = NULL; separate_obj( obj ); scraps = create_object( get_obj_index( OBJ_VNUM_SCRAPS ), 0 ); scraps->timer = number_range( 5, 15 ); /* * Don't make scraps of scraps of scraps of! */ if ( obj->pIndexData->vnum == OBJ_VNUM_SCRAPS ) { STRFREE( scraps->short_descr ); scraps->short_descr = STRALLOC( "some debris" ); STRFREE( scraps->description ); https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/cleanupmemory-1494/&p=6601#p6601 Sat, 12 Nov 2005 20:34:25 CST SmaugFUSS nobody@example.com (Anavel) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/cleanupmemory-1494/&p=6600#p6600 Well the objects were cleaned up but apparently the hashed descriptions weren't. Can you post a copy of your make_scraps() function? https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/cleanupmemory-1494/&p=6600#p6600 Sat, 12 Nov 2005 20:09:30 CST SmaugFUSS nobody@example.com (Samson) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/cleanupmemory-1494/&p=6599#p6599 It seems that item scraps aren't being cleaned up when the MUD is shutdown.
