From #147 (Neutral death (maybe) causes crash in net game):
Quote
Here's a bug that I think exists:
Assume an asymmetric multiplayer level; call it "Yo Ho Ho Net". Both are playing the same race, and have set each other to different colors. One player starts with a liner that is marked "kNeutralDeath"; the other player doesn't have one. If the pirates succeed in neutralizing the liner, then I believe their game will crash, because they loaded the sprite to display the recolored liner, but not a neutral liner.
At a minimum, the following would be necessary to trigger the crash:
...if the bug exists, it's no wonder that no one ever triggered it; there are a lot of prerequisites. On the other hand, "Yo Ho Ho Net" sounds fun

At a minimum, the following would be necessary to trigger the crash:
- The opposing player is set to a different color (because they are the same race).
- The object has kNeutralDeath and kCanThink, but not kIsDestination.
- The object has a sprite but no spriteIDOverride.
- Only the opposing player has the ship.
- Nothing exists that could otherwise change the owner of the ship (like special EVATs).
