Spring RTS Engine

I randomly get a crash with the message "bad std::alloc". No crash data is printed to infolog.txt and I have ground decals all the way onto 0.

My NVIDIA drivers are the latest and I've done both the dual-core and NVIDIA fixes that are required.

Does anyone know what might cause this?

I suppose I can do the search circle method, and then search connecting metal positions for the highest amount of metal in that spot.

I've actually done the same thing before. Specifically from my gadget: 46 local metalMapScale = 16 ... 168 local function GetMetalMapCoords(posX, posZ) 169 return math.floor(posX / metalMapScale), math.floor(posZ / metalMapScale) 170 end So just divide the (x, z) coordinates by 16. Although I suppo...

I checked the WIKI and the Lua documentation, and I don't understand what you are referring too. Can you provide a link?

With all the help from #lua, I've managed to load all the values of how much metal there is in a position into a 2D map (excluding locations where there is no metal, to speed up the search process), but now I need to get the nearest position in that 2D map (2-dimension array) based on a unit's locat...

First off, I couldn't find in the documentation a list of any functions in the Spring table, yet there are functions used in the metal maker manager widget, and second, I need to know whether there is a way to grab the nearest location of a metal deposit.
