Hi,

I'm having some issues with this error occuring when there are no problems creating the model in other parts of code.

The error occurs when I release the mouse to create the entity with ent_create(). Though if I've already created the model in code after pressing/releasing a key the model will be created with no errors and then allowing the model to be created on releasing the mouse.

After plenty of debugging I've noticed another problem with one of my functions which solves the problem, though how, I can't explain.

I have one function to retrieve a number based on Vector co-ordinates.and call it with this function

If I change either of these data-types to 'int' the problem goes away. I can send you a link to the program but can't reproduce it if I start stripping down chunks of code or trying to just rewrite a test demo.

Thanks for your time,
James (MrGuest)

This is probably not related to your code: Error 1198 means that the file, or some other file read before, causes an engine crash. After such a crash, the memory is messed up and all things can happen. Find the guilty file and delete it.

I've updated all the models from known previous working versions and redrawn them but to no avail so tried reverting back to V8.30.3 and all of these errors are gone (I probably should have tried this first).

As I only know of one possible error causing this found by EvilSOB I've removed all the sizeof macros but still having 101 issues.

Am I able to send the project over to see if there's soemthing I've done wrong my end and so far managed to get away with it or if the error does lie in this latest version?

Cheers

Sure, but please check your models and levels first. Replace them not with your previous versions that probably already have that bug, but with a dummy model and level, for instance some model that comes with Gamestudio. This has a good chance to eliminate the problem, as all what you posted hints to a model with damaged internal tables.

If the problem then still happens, please send us that project with the replaced models and we'll look into it.

Testing it this morning has lead to different problems though now none about the file format.

The project is uploading to ftp.coniserver.net and the main problems I'm having now weren't present in 8.03.3.

Pressing shift and 1 should floodfill the tiles on the level but now I'm getting an invalid pointer error.
Drawing with the mouse over the tiles should create walls and automatically fix the edges, although no error is prompted the wall mesh is no longer being manipulated.

Any insight into these problems would be appreciated.

Thanks again

Hi,

Did you manage to take a look into this?

Cheers

Yes. I see in the debugger that you're getting an error due to calling vec_set() with an invalid pointer for the first vector. Should not be hard to find, check the vec_set commands in the code.

Thanks for this, though I'm still unsure why I never encountered these problem on 8.30.3, any ideas?

Correct scripts behave the same way with all versions. But bugs can behave different dependent on the version, or on whether it's Friday.

lol,
Thanks, I'll look into it
