Description Simon Koch 2003-12-21 21:47:33 EST 
The game segfaults in ai.cpp:482 whenever a sudden death situation happens, 
since c.mTarget is set to -1 at line 469, but the subsequent code tries to use 
it as an array index.  I wrote a patch that seems to fix it without breaking 
the AI.  Basically, it makes the terrorist stand still while the VIP runs away.  
I'll attach it.

fixes segfault when there are no VIPs

don't know, if this is intended or not, but between my first VIP, and the
second, there is a pause of several seconds. If (as the previous patch did)
the terrorists are not moving, they are too easy to wipe out.
This patch lets the terrorists still move.

Yes, that patch is much better.  Mine was just a quick hack so that I could 
keep playing :)

Applied the patch. Thanks, closing as fixed.
