    • SPÖB Crash and Beta testers


      I've been working on porting a plug I made from EVC to EVN, and I just found an odd bug When I go into one of my systems the game crashes. I removed everything from the system, and it began to work again. Added the dudes, it works. Added the pers, it works. Added the spobs, it crashes. Remove the spobs, it crashes. Remade the spobs as lower-numbered resources. It crashes. Did a debug log, found a few weapon errors and fixed them. The only reported problems are that I don't have any descriptions for a few things.

      Put the spobs into a different system and the game crashes.

      So what to test and how to fix?

      I did try changing all the IDs

      Also, I'm looking for a beta tester or two (or more ). I need someone willing to critique my writing and can do some basic mission reading

      Edit: I'm using rlë8 / rlëD sprites.

    • Are you useing Picts, or rlë8 / rlëD?
      Picts are not vary healthy in Nova gameplay.

      Yeah, I saw that it had been bumped WHILE I was writing my post. (grumbles) I've gotten several names off of it, but I don't mind people asking.

      Thanks for posting the link.

    • Any of the spobs overlaping each other?

      I don't think so I'll check

      (Goes to check)

      Nope, none of them are overlapping. I've pushed them out an extra 50,50 or so, just in case

      (Fires up nova)

      Nope, the game still crashes. BTW, the DebugLog doesn't record entering the system at all

      It's not a conflict with other plug resources I did a version with JUST the spob and styt resources, and that crashes Nova also.

      (Panicked newbie)
      I've got 256mb is that a lot how do i change it? should I buy more? oh yeah im on mac os x.
      (/Panicked newbie)

      Thanks for thinking of that, ArcAngel. I don't want to sound ungrateful when I say that I'm running Mac OS X. Had I been running in the Mac OS 8+ range I KNOW I never would have thought about that.

      I'd be happy to e-mail the spob/syst version of the plug it they want a look.
