Weird Bug

BulletHead

<div class="IPBDescription">Involving lights or something?</div> Ok, whenever I got to weld my weldable on my map, the game just crashes to desktop... whenever I weld PERIOD it crashes to desktop... whenever I look at certain things... bam, crash to desktop...

No clue why... which is ticking me off... mm...

sometimes I get an error... next time it occures I'll use printscreen and save it to show you guys...


Just wondering if anyone had any similar problems?

the game crashes if you look at something if its like you staring into the void, do you have holes to the outside of your map? sometimes called leaks. its easy to tell if your map leaked, it looks like everything has fullbright on.

BulletHead

No, I know for sure there are no leaks, cause the VIS runs fine, and no leaks are detected at all...

It's werid... mmm...

There are rare instnaces in whick VIS compiles ok but there are leaks. (I know because I have such a quack way of putting levels together that this can happen)

Is fullbright on?

PS: If you are using Windows ME, Steam causes HL to crash from moving the mouse. Thus one of the reasons I really hated it for a long time. I now use Win2000 Server and it works cool.

BulletHead

Well, because the room isn't completed yet, I surrounded it in a box so I could add lights and such... but I checked for leaks by making blocks right against the corridor exits and no... I cannot find any leaks...

ANd I'm on WIndows XP Pro

BulletHead

Ok, well, I made some screens of what the room looks like... It's nothing special, just a normal bunker + vent and a security door

Now, what gets me is... it onyl happens at certain times, and I can NOT duplicate it on purpose... i haven't the faintest clue what it is!

THo I think it has something to do with the giant box I used... I'm prolly going to try pluging up just the exits and trying it again... might work

I doubt the screenshots will help much... but I put em there just in case they do

Is that taken in software mode?

BulletHead

Nah, it's taken in "I have an onboard vid driver" mode... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Not much I can do bout the quality, but that's not at question here


What i need to know is if there's any visible clue as to why I randomly crash out


(btw- yeah.... I've selected openGL... but its still software mode >:-( stupid vid driver)

Reebdoog

Just had to ask because i'm not sure if ns works properly in software mode.

BulletHead

0o'

Well.. uh... that could be it then XD


Yeah, I need to buy a vid card and pronto... been looking into it, but it's hard times for us at the moment... mainly because of our van just dying on us (freaking things engine just DIED... grr)
