Level 2 (snowtill) of freedom 2 is crashing me every time. I tried 1.5.1 and 1.4.3 to no avail. Could you check for me?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAK! Ghosts of Tornberry's problems have come back to haunt me...

Well.

I really don't know what to try - I assume mythlog.txt has no helpful details? Is it crashing when you go from level 1 to level 2, or just whenever you start level 2?

Righteeo, I'll see about this problem... I've tested the plugin on two separate Macs, and done a bit of testing on my PC. I'll drag mah CD out again and see if it crashes my PC (because my Macs handle snowtill just fine).

Which kind of computer do you use?

And here's an open question to all : is there some way (out of mythlog.txt) that I can find out what's going on inside Myth, so that when it crashes I know who to blame?

Thanks all (and sorry Tarous, I thought we did better this time with our dodgy campaign!) :(

HECK.
It just crashed my PC.

I'm gonna track down a copy of Tahoe (EDIT: eh, Topaz) to turn my plugin into a local folder on the PC, see if that helps.

Mmmm. This is really frustrating.

Aw hell. It crashes PC Loathing.

Alright then... guess I'm gonna have to do a bit of digging around and try to see what's wrong here. If need be, I suppose I'll have to upload the mother again.

I'm really sorry dudes, I'll try and sort this mess out.







ANY HELP APPRECIATED! Technically speaking, there's a lot I don't know about Myth so if you guys have any ideas, please let me know

The map actions are corrupt, the PC version is having trouble byteswapping them (something the mac version doesn't do).

Hmmm.

Any idea as to what I can do about it? I've tried other levels on my PC, they're all doing the same thing. The Mac is handling things just fine.

Well if anyone knows how to fix that, please lemme know. In the mean time:

If you're trying to play Freedom 2 on a PC, maybe find a friend who has a Mac? Seriously, till I find out if this is fixable, I guess that's all ye can do.

(this annoys me too, because I use a PC to go on the internet and thusly can't play co-op with Cid)

Well, i opened it on my mac in loathing X, and exported the map actions. It looks like your particle system script is fubar. Looks something like this
Start snoowiSesame [Particle System Control]
deactivates_on_trigger
0.00, 0.00
{
( , `)
(Ä◊ÄÒ, )
øˇÃ›Ãª
øˇÃ›Ãª
}

Although the øˇÃ›Ãª repeats like 1k times.

Fix that, and I think you should be good to go.

Then you can just make a patch.

Now that's odd. We're talking stuff I did in 2003... but I swore I did something about that :)

Oh well, I'll get right on it and see if that helps things.

I'm really sorry to all ye PC users. I hate to feel like I'm letting anyone down. (at least it's a small community eh?)

Yeah, I played it on my mac. I actually played a bunch of levels on my PC. After it crashed a few times, i just skipped level 2. I've enjoyed it so far. Voices are great. Although i think i'm impatient, As i keep rushing w/o planning and I'm getting owned. Hope to get some coop in one of these days.

The last level of Freedom I is crashing too. It crashes in Loathing too, so I couldn't examine the script. It may be that there is a collection that is used on that mesh that you accidentally didn't include in the plugin. Or something. I don't know what else it might be. Anyway, I started up all the levels in both campaigns and that's the only one that's crashing (other than level 2 of Freedom 2, which was already mentioned).

I like what I see though.
