Crashing Using Randomselect

[Darkfyr]

Whenever I use randomselect, mugen crashes upon entering a stage, leaving no error message or anything.

I googled the problem, coming up with only one thing, saying that whenever you use randomselect for all characters (say, a 4v4 with "random" selected for all eight characters) mugen will crash. I then decided to test this by picking 3 randoms for each side and picking a single character for the last slots. Mugen then works fine. So I believe I have diagnosed the problem. I think.

So, what can I do to fix this (the search function yielded nothing; I guess I'm the only noob who likes to watch random matches)? Thanks a lot.

which version of mugen do you have? did the crashes occured with an earlier version of mugen? what are your PC specs? does it crash without using randomselect?

just a random poke; maybe one/some stages or characters you have are messed up and when "randomselect" picks them it crashes. that was the first thing to come to my head when i read your problem because that happened to me a few times.

which version of mugen do you have?

When checking the readme, it reads, beta release version 2002.04.14. However, I don't think I'm entirely accurate because there is a text document that is titled about No limit winmugen and says stuff about removing the character limit and saying it's an unofficial patch. Yeah >.> Is there a place in my Win Mugen folder that gives an exact version number?

did the crashes occured with an earlier version of mugen?

Like I said before, I'm clueless. Maybe I need to patch. If I can find a way to identify what version of mugen I have, I may be able to patch it or something to see if it fixes the problem.

what are your PC specs?

I have a fairly adequate video card and sound card, 4 gigs of RAM and I'm running XP. If you need more info, I can easily find it; I just don't know what about my computer you need to know.

does it crash without using randomselect?

When I am not using randomselect, mugen functions normally.

just a random poke; maybe one/some stages or characters you have are messed up and when "randomselect" picks them it crashes.

I did consider this, but the probability is low since I test every character after I install them. But I know what you mean. I have solved a fair number of problems by just removing faulty characters >.<

Thanks for the input, guys.

ok so your PC specs arent an issue, it's not a matter of mugen version, and it doesn't crash without using randomselect (and anyway, if there is a problem with one char or stage, an error message would popup and says so!)

i am officially clueless!

Try including the second parameter for randomselect, even if it is null.

[Darkfyr]

If by second parameter you meant adding the stages/randomselect thing, I just did that.

Now it works fine. Thank you very much. If any other problems crop up, I'll be sure to let you guys know. Thanks!
