Host_Error: NUM_FOR_EDICT: bad pointer

[j4reporting]

the error message was triggered during save quick. Never seen this before and have not been able to reproduce.

It happened during a first playthrough of map sm229_markie with vkquake version 1.31.2 / Win10 release binary,

after picking up the thunderbolt (bridge secret), I hit the F key to create a savegame, I think some enemies spawned at the same time, not sure. Of course the sav file is defective. sm229_sav.zip

condump:

You got the shells
You got the nails

          Sequence completed!


     A reward appears on the bridge

You got the nails
You got the nails
You got the Thunderbolt

        You found a secret area!

As you may guess, I've not reproduced this, not even once. Even if I know where it triggers in the code, there is no apparent problem there. I'll keep it open for now, though.

Right, let's assume this was due to #755. :)

Of course, I encountered this bug in one map on 1.32.0, but not reproducible either.
