Crash with "The Thieves"


Recommended Posts

Whenever I try to start the FM called "The Thieves" it crashes as soon as it's finished loading.

 

I have not had any problems with any of the other FMs that I've tried, which so far include:

-The Crown of Penitence

-The Outpost

-The Parcel

-Too Late.

-Thomas Porter series

-No Honor Among Thieves series

-Thieves Den series

-Lockdown

-Return to the City

-Some others I can't remember off the top of my head right now...

 

 

Is there something different about "The Thieves" in particular that would cause it to crash like this? Again, this is the only FM I've had this problem with so far so I guess there must be something different about it.

 

 

EDIT:

Ok, it seems that "Trapped!" does the same thing for me. Not sure if it's related or not though.

Thieves crashes here as well...

 

Is there a reason for the extra complex "angle" in the info_player_start entity?

 


// entity 213
{
"classname" "info_player_start"
"name" "info_player_start_1"
"angle" "-1.4033418253411173e-014"
"origin" "-1374 -92 -244"
}

I removed the "Patrol" spawnarg (it was only assigned to rats and one map only had one instance another was like three...) from all four maps and now they work fine in 1.04.

 

I am uploading to my dropbox account but if someone wants to beat me to the punch that would be great.

 

:)

Any comments?

 

I don't think these fixes have any detrimental effect on the "rat ambience" for these maps?

 

Would these changes be acceptable to distribute officially?

 

:unsure:

I am speculating that the "Patrol" spawnarg was an attempt to get the rats to run around the maps properly. Now that Grayman has fixed most of the rat behavior, I don't think those heroics are required.

 

I didn't get a ton of test time but the rat at the beginning of Trapped wandered the prison just as cheerfully as I recall from before...

 

Is it really worth fretting over now?

Better to fix the mod rather than change all the maps.

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
