After entering level 42, my game is constantly crashing. The game stated that it
could find no closest waypoint, the whole error message is attached, as is a
savegame the problem should occur seconds after starting.

Freedroid has encountered a problem:

Thanks a lot!

Freedroid will terminate now to draw attention to the problems it could
not resolve.  Sorry if that interrupts a major game of yours...

and the second file for the savegame

I am using Ubunto 11.10. The Freedroid RPG 0.14.1 was installed using the
deb-package.
I am not sure about what information you also could need, so please ask fpr it
if I forgot something.

Hum, it looks like this doesn't affect the current SVN 5062.

It could be that there are no wapoints on that level in the released version?
From what I can tell, the level is mostly water, at least in the current SVN.

Miles, I think you're right - .14.1 had no waypoints on level 42. Hence the bug.

What we have to do now is:

- check if we *still* require presence of a waypoint on a level 
- if we do, make it non-fatal unless it's unavoidable
- add a check to the leveleditor validator

Henker, do you wish to have a "fixed" savegame that will not crash? That can be
arranged.

Thank you very much, but this will not be necessary. I opened the developer
tools and destroyed all bots in that level to get out of the area (since I had
already overtaken all of them this was ok). ;)

What developer tools? Do you mean the level editor? 
How did you destroy the bots?

SHIFT+CTRL+ALT+C opens some developer or cheat tools with some options like
showing all bots in the level etc.
There is also an option "destroy robots on current level".

OK - we call that the cheat menu.

Greetings,

My understanding is that this issue doesn't exist for the current svn version,
so, Henker, if you are agree with that, could you close the ticket, please?

ahuillet mentioned three tasks to do to prevent problems of this kind in general
(2011-10-24   10h13)

Therefore I am not sure about closing this ticket before this tasks are
fulfilled. I would like to let ahuillet the decision about it.

I was able to confirm this bug is still possible to trigger (ostensibly)

I added an enemy to level 68, modified the waypoint array to contain 0 waypoints, 
then tried to force an enemy that I clicked on to find a waypoint. Same error as 
before. I'm not sure if this is considered a bug since we validate for it in the 
level editor, but I'm writing a patch to handle this gracefully anyway
