Anyone able to test if a bug exists?
From #147 (Neutral death (maybe) causes crash in net game):

Here's a bug that I think exists:
Assume an asymmetric multiplayer level; call it "Yo Ho Ho Net". Both are playing the same race, and have set each other to different colors. One player starts with a liner that is marked "kNeutralDeath"; the other player doesn't have one. If the pirates succeed in neutralizing the liner, then I believe their game will crash, because they loaded the sprite to display the recolored liner, but not a neutral liner.
At a minimum, the following would be necessary to trigger the crash:
The opposing player is set to a different color (because they are the same race).
The object has kNeutralDeath and kCanThink, but not kIsDestination.
The object has a sprite but no spriteIDOverride.
Only the opposing player has the ship.
Nothing exists that could otherwise change the owner of the ship (like special EVATs).
...if the bug exists, it's no wonder that no one ever triggered it; there are a lot of prerequisites. On the other hand, "Yo Ho Ho Net" sounds fun :)/>/>
The level does sound interesting. If you upload the level, I could test for the bug in soliloquy mode (Two Macs, an ethernet cable and a beer).
Er, how did you manage to find this bug, i wonder...
I was looking through the code and didn't find anything that would load neutral-colored sprites for ships with kNeutralDeath. (I think through later investigation I determined that it would probably result in a wrong-colored ship rather than a crash)
I don't have a level to test with. It's really not such a huge issue, and even if it exists it's fixed in Antares now.
