There is a byond bug repeatedly crashing my game from people using it on purpose. I think, but am not sure, that it has to do with uploading a gif to the server which then crashes the server.
BUG: Crashing due to an illegal operation!

I'll look into it. If you can get a copy of the file in question it will help, in case there's something specific wrong with that particular file. (Are you certain it's a .gif, and not a .png or something else?)
|
I don't have the file but it was definitely a gif a player was uploading with the in-game verb to change icons of things. It said so in the error logs, but I cleared those now.
All gifs I used to test the problem did not do anything abnormal. But I've had reports from players there is a way to crash the game with gifs but there is a trick of some sort involved. I didn't get details yet. I cleared the logs so I don't know the exact name of the gif but I do remember it has parenthesis () in the gif's name if that matters. | |
The gif name had a lot of dashes and parenthesis in the name if that means anything. Like some sort of name parsing problem maybe? (I don't know)
| |
Nope, not a name issue. Your trace did indeed confirm it's a .gif load, and I did find some things in the code that could account for the problem.

Lummox JR resolved issue with message:
Some image files were read incorrectly, which could cause a crash. | |
