Assert failure error message

[Lord Mike]

Ok, so i was playing for a while and all of a sudden my mugen crashes, and i get the following message:
"Error message:
Assert failure in array.c line 437"

Does anyone has any idea what this message means, and what is causing it?
Mugen crashed after i hit the opponent with a low kick, not some special move or a multi-hit setup...

[Cybaster]

Not sure about this one, but it may come from 2 sprites in the SFF having the exact same group and number.

[Lord Mike]

I've checked for sprites with similar group & number. Everything is in order...

Did you use the Fighter Factory Template? What Version of Mugen are you using?

i get that too some time ago, it was when the cpu controlled cvs2_eagle and king! I get that barely!

I am using winmugen. I have no idea what FF Template does, but no, i haven't used that.

Fuck assert failure, dumbest biggest piece of shit garbage error ever

Thankfully the only time I see that god foresaken crap is when I VS. certain chars by PotS or 608, and on rare occasions


You basically crash for no apparent reason and there isn't even a remote bit of instruction on how to fix or w//e


[ I think this error is non existant on 1.0+, I've tried my best to cause it on it and it didn't happen ]

The assert failure error can be a lot of different problems, related to

- Custom Anims (p2) and the oponent with two modes (like Waru cvsryu)
- Sprites with same number and group.
- Explods with same ID,  Helpers, Targets, etc...


It´s very difficult to know why happen that, so, you should try to repeat the error with different characters.

One of my own characters has THREE modes and LOTS of shared ID's and that NEVER happens

I also recently realized he has a cloned sprite, still doesn't happen

That error happens me while i'm playing an intro
Do you know why?

[2OS]

Trust me if I knew ANYTHING about this complete bullshit error I'd share how to resolve, like I said, only happens rarely on my end, who'da thought characters by 2 highly respectable authors [ imo ] would be the only ones I get that crap from

Should we ask Elecbyte what this error means?

I've experienced it before too. It happened to me because I had a hitdef that acted as a throw, but the attribute of the hitdef was not throw and it crashed if I hit two opponents at the same time with the move. I don't know if it was the assertspecial failure, because Winmugen never gave consistent bug reports, but I'm sure it was something in its class, I never tested it in Mugen 1.0, though. Try to look for something like that in your character.

I think asking Elecbyte would be ideal, though.

[Lord Mike]

This happens to me extremely rarely too (about 2-3 times every 2-3 months), but i wanted to know what causes it.
I was really curious since it happened without a big setup...I would have understood if it came after a big setup, having used a huge number of vars and helpers, but after a simple kick i was like...wtf? 

[Rajaa Retired]

The best solution would be to just use Mugen 1.0.
