aLPHA Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 This guide will be devoted to telling why your game crashes! Game crashes and shows "Error Report" about 90% through with the loading screen before the main menu: A value in the CFG is entered incorrectly, or does not exist Could also be caused by an object with invalid files in its object folder. I cannot start a level. The mission briefs will not go away: An object is colliding with another object, or is stuck in a wall Go into the level choose, but you get the beta glitch (Blue cavern on upper left corner) There is something wrong with a level. Look at the normal CFG and your modded CFG for any differences in the levels that might be causing the problem. This glitch might also occur if a custom object is missing vital values. I click a level, but as soon as it is done loading, the game crashes and no "Error Report" message is shown: An object in the CFG does not exist but was placed in a level, or its AE file is broken rockraider pascal said: when i got my lwo just lwo and not lwo 5 , my game game Crash Cirevam answered You tried exporting it in a Lightwave format other than 5.x, which caused LRR to explode. Lair said My RtPU Mod crashes unless set on Windows 98 compatability mode. I have already looked over your CFG and it seams as if there are invalid objects within the CFG. Try playing the game without the modded objects by simply putting a ; in front of every line that has to do with the modded objects. Have a problem with the above information? Just leave a comment with your idea and I'll work on it. I need more! Help by posting more errors so that I can figure them out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cirevam Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 LWO = model or object, i.e. LightWaveObject LWS = animation or scene, i.e. LightWaveScene Models don't have nulls, animations do. Pascal is talking about putting a model into the game, not an animation. He tried exporting it in a Lightwave format other than 5.x, which caused LRR to explode.

Okay, you can come into this and be the one in charge of graphics related crashes. Also, how could his game explode when it is in a virtual environment? File explodes sending rock raiders files all over the computer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEPICtrainrider Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I changed the textures in the Lava Monster's folder. I also made a copy off the Lava Monster's folder and named it 'Rave Monster'. Then I rammed a screwdriver into my hard-drive and wizzed over the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amauros Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 You mean it crashed? Did you make a new entry in the cfg for the "rave" monster, and did you do it right? Making a new directory for it shouldn't have crashed it unless you forgot to rename the files within the folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amauros Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Only if your cfg exceeds a certain character limit, which is non-existent to other members... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lair Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Well 252 KB is all it lets me go to without compatability. And Cirevam's is much bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 When I go into levels all the levels are blank and there's a strange blue rock in the top left of the screen. When I click it, it crashes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addictgamer Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Changing MenuCount to 0. Just try to bring up that menu. If it's the pause menu, press escape or p in-game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyrem Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Baz's mod is broken for me. I can't find why it crashes. I don't think anyone really knows why, it crashes for people in all different spots for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aLPHA Posted August 8, 2010 Author Share Posted August 8, 2010 I never tried using compatibility mode for it...but the most likely cause of the crash is an invalid (or corrupted) cfg file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cirevam Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I can't remember, does Baz's Mod replace a few files or is it packaged as the entire WADs and Data folder? If it's the latter then other overhauls are going to be in a lot of trouble since half of the community won't be able to run them. Patch-style mods are so iffy unless people actually follow instructions, which they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the latter then other overhauls are going to be in a lot of trouble since half of the community won't be able to run them. Patch-style mods are so iffy unless people actually follow instructions, which they don't. It was in WAD files. This is the disadvantage to the Data method because it's not easy to share mods this way. If I work on Power Patcher a bit more it maybe fix this problem, but until then WAD files are the best method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cirevam Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I don't see how it's a disadvantage since you can just extract the files from the WADs anyways. I don't see a difference between the two methods in how the files are read, but if WADs are actually more unstable, then there would be a reason to use the Data method other than the absence of compilation. That brings up a good question. For people that can play Baz's Mod, does it crash more or less with either method? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the WAD method you could simply just share the two files and people can just dump them in the directory. Much better for installers then a zipped data folder.

TheDoctor Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I haven't played it yet, but I intend to do so. The way baz's exe works makes my computer require admin to run it, but I'll just try my magic extractor on it, and hope it works. If not, then meh. I'll wine it.
