Unread post Restroom Wall
There is an issue on my TWGS, and (I believe) several others as well, that when anyone tries to write on the restroom wall, they are booted from the game and back to the TWGS menu.

Here is the error that pops up in the error log:

TW2002 3.13 12/20/2007 10:35:36 PM AbEnd:
EC=31 Addr=00402921
Access violation at address 00402921 in module 'TW2002.EXE'. Write of address EFE00055

Thank you

As most of the Ice9 games are a bit more long term, the restroom wall used to be a mini smack area, but once anyjoe retired and I took over, the restroom wall would not work on my server.

I tried deleting the wall.dat file, and also replacing it with a known good wall.dat file, and neither worked...

Ah yea, that's been a bug for some time.

Does the crash seem to happen when more than one person is viewing the wall, or do you get to a point where it will always crash when writing to the wall?

If you have a wall.dat file where this is happening, please email it to me just in case there's something in the data that's causing the crash.

It seems to happen universally and consistently to anyone who attempts to write on the wall. (i.e. No one has ever been able to write on the wall in any game.) I would be happy to send you the file, but it is a 0 byte file, so probably wouldn't do you much good.

That should make it easy to repro and fix ;)
