"Unexpected EOF in COM_ParseInt" error?

[ClassicRockJedi]

So, sometimes when I'm doing a quest (specifically the t2_rancor and t2_dpred missions), I'll get the message "Unexpected EOF in COM_ParseInt" out of nowhere. It doesn't affect gameplay (I'm able to complete the missions just fine), but I want to know what this means. Does anybody know?

It means there are either too many, or some badly-made assets (possibly mods) that confuse the file loading code.

EOF = End Of File, COM_ParseInt is a function used to parse e.g. "1337" as an integer to store somewhere.

It's trying to parse an integer like: "bladeLength 40" but not seeing anything past "bladeLength " - it could mean the file was truncated if too many files are loaded (OpenJK may have fixed this) or the file was poorly formatted (e.g. missing {}, a "string" that doesn't end, etc)

 

Your game may continue just fine, but who knows what information it's failing to load

@@Raz0r Sorry I didn't see your message earlier, I forgot to follow the topic.


That makes sense. It only happens when I have certain pk3s in my base folder (think I may know which one it is too).
