It gets as far as the A_Print Codepointer and then crashes me. An older version of this code worked just fine. The only difference was that code played a sound and required more XP.

It crashes in

A_GiveInventory ("DSPunchDaggerB")

But I can't see why. Is there any chance you could send me the WAD?

Sure. Rapidshare link headed your way.

I'm sorry to say that with the debugger this WAD is causing even more problems due to heap corruption. These can easily be the cause for your crashes but finding them won't be easy. Try do remove some of the DECORATEs inside to see wheher it makes a difference. My guess is that it's some minor hard to find issue but if it can get narrowed down to a specific actor I might get lucky.

Okay. Thanks for your help. Perhaps if I moved everything to a new WAD?

You could probably do that.. but he's just suggesting that you probably cut+paste stuff out of the scripts or whatever in an attempt to isolate the problem... so just do what he asks.

Already have. These actors seem to crash no matter what I do, forcing me to re-write them.

Post by **Graf Zahl** » Thu Feb 16, 2006 9:52

So can you post a minimal WAD that still crashes?

Post by **Graf Zahl** » Fri May 19, 2006 10:39

I won't bother with this any further. The most recent version doesn't even load this WAD due to DECORATE errors and I have no desire to go through all the definitions.
