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.

      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).

      Well then, it's been about a week since I released my first FM and I must say that I was very pleasantly surprised by its reception. I had expected half as much interest in my short little FM as I received and even less when it came to positive feedback, but I am glad that the aspects of my mission that I put the most heart into were often the most appreciated. It was also delightful to read plenty of honest criticism and helpful feedback, as I've already been given plenty of useful pointers on improving my brushwork, level design, and gameplay difficulty.
      I've gotten back into the groove of chipping away at my reading and game list, as well as the endless FM catalogue here, but I may very well try my hand at the 15th anniversary contest should it materialize. That is assuming my eyes are ready for a few more months of Dark Radiant's bright interface while burning the midnight oil, of course!
