ERROR[main]: WARNING: updateListener: invalid value

deivan · by **deivan** » Wed Mar 27, 2013 10:31 Post

This happened here many times. After this my game don't start very well and I need teleport myself to some place, like 0,0,0 to come back to the world. I think is the same bug who change the position to big values...

The window is clear, no object and this message is spawning every time...
"ERROR[main]: WARNING: updateListener: invalid value'

Start in the 0.4.5. :-/

Seems like a problem with the sound.
What OS do you use?

deivan · by **deivan** » Thu Mar 28, 2013 03:51 Post

GNU Debian, kernell 3.2.0-4-486. Start in the 0.4.5, I never saw it before.

I am thinking if this bug is caused by the position change, I have the message "ERROR[main]: WARNING: updateListener: invalid value'" only after my position is changed to "(inf, <big negative number>,0)". When I use the key F5 to see the position I found this "inf" in the X, I hope this will be solved soon, after the last week I have more incidents here... :-/

The X is away inf, the y is changing after the initial value (a big negative value), I am falling... The Z value is a small value, positive or sometimes zero (maybe is different, I don't remember).

I don't found the trigger, sometimes I am walking, a two minutes ago I am working in the furnace. :-/

This has happened to me twice, but I haven't found a fix for it.

Does teleporting to (0,0,0) help?

That obviously teleports you to (0,0,0), but does not fix the bug

Maybe something with collision detection in localplayer.cpp?

What makes you think that the bug is there?

A few months ago (at the moment physics was introduced) I was playing a bit with the code in there. Inspired by flying players on servers (without fly-privilege). Since I don't know C++ I could only change minor things like putting a ! (not-sign) and // in front of some checks and lines and changing some && (and) and || (or). Some times, after starting a game I 'dropped' with speed far greater than fast down.

Since I've only 1 computer to test on, I tested it once on gameboom. At the time everything was loaded, My player appeared a few hundred thousand below 0 and still descending. After some sweating I solved it (in a hacky?) way by activating being attached in localplayer.cpp, giving that position coordinates I knew. That transported me (after recompiling) back to normal heights (after that I needed to detach myself, because I couldn't move).

I didn't see warnings and don't think I got stuck at the specified coordinates. But the superfast descending (without being able to stop it) looked familiair enough to post here, hoping to help solve this bug.

Sometimes teleporting works. Other times it does nothing and I keep falling through nothing.

The only thing I can say I've noticed before the most recent updateListener fails, is a bug with water. I don't use Finite Water because I don't like it, prefering the old Minetest method of water. Sometimes I'll be digging around water, and water doesn't react the way it should. Sometimes it remains frozen in a block hanging in air, or doesn't flowing_water doesn't disappear once the source is removed.

Then, usually within a few seconds I get an updateListener error and start falling.

i have the same problem. i was digging rocks when the same error showed up. after that i was falling and couldn't see anything but the stars in the night sky. i tried teleporting to a location i noted before but the game was too laggy to do that. i have minetest v0.4.6 running on ubuntu 12.10 quantal quetzal. someone please fix this problem

i repeatedly get this error in my project map. (i have backups) it causes me to lose days worth of work in my map ( link it annoys me to a point of discontinuing. mabye?) i emailed screenshosts to the developer plizadam in the hope it helps

deivan · by **deivan** » Thu Jun 06, 2013 23:33 Post

The evasive action to this problem is the command teleport, use it to transport you back to the map. In the version 0.4.7 I don't see this problem at this moment. Alternatively is possible a small mod fix to check your location and "move" you back to your last position if one of your values become the "inf". Maybe is possible, maybe not.

This problem still occurring here and now I see another problem after this one. All blocks still invisible after a teleport, I see borders but don't see textures. :-/

The invisible blocks might be caused by "camera update disabled", try hitting F4.

deivan · by **deivan** » Wed Jun 19, 2013 13:15 Post

The problem vanished only after close the game... To bad, new bug. :-/

I have had the same error for the last couple of devs and using xp, however most the time it just displays the error about 15 times then goes away like nothing happened. On a rare occasion it will show another "access violated" straight after and crash the game to menu.

Once it crashes to the menu and you rejoin the map the sounds start going into infinite loops getting faster the more sounds created. I usually just exit to OS and its all good again, i have also noticed it seams to happen on a individual block.
Anyway here is a debug report that i get:

Sounds more like you have teleported under the ground, make sure noclip is enabled(H) and fly up. Just depends if the map gen created land over 0,0,0

I have a room at 0,0,0 only to cover this problem... :-/

After arrive in a new area, after a teleport I see blocks, but don't see textures, I know the location of the blocks only when the mouse is over him, then I see the border of each block. Is a new bug... :-/

I can confirm this bug on two of my rigs. It always happens when i'm digging, and/or not in free move.

This still happens. Was at Xanadu server ~2 weeks ago when this happened to me. Teleporting didn't work. Neither was I in fly mode nor had noclip on. I just jumped and.... start to fall down.
Well, the description is pretty much the same as by anyone else.

mauvebic · by **mauvebic** » Sun Mar 16, 2014 00:00 Post

the updatelistener warning is from a sound function, the invalid value is the position which is inf on one of the axes. So something, somewhere is doing some weird math on your position, throwing people off the map and causing updatelistener to flood the log/chat. I wonder if this bug started happening around the same time physics were rejigged? Wish I could offer more insight.
