Critical Error...
I'm getting an access violation exception when i try to test an old half completed dungeon. The file won't open.
Could anyone tell me specifically what this diag report points to?
RTC (V0.49) Diagnostic file - Thu Sep 12 16:11:03 2013
Error:
an access violation exception.
Stack Dump:
RTC.LD();
RTC.InitSecondary();
RTC.ProgStateIntroContinue2();
RTC.DoFrame(int 7);
RTC.WinMain();
I thought at first that it was related to a bitmap issue. Without going into detail, i lost a few bitmaps and had to redo them. However, i have now fixed all these issues (at least i think i have), but still cannot test the dungeon.
I should point out that i have not used RTC for a long time, and am admittedly very rusty.
Thanks...

Re: Critical Error...
Who knows what these RTC.functions() are related to, the source is not available.
A version issue, I guess. RTC 049 is the last version. What about the RTC version you used to do your half completed dungeon ?
BTW, I enjoyed your "Dark Reign" dungeon. No problem V049, here.

Re: Critical Error...
You can download up to 0.34. It might be worthwhile getting the version you first edited in, and then ensuring the dungeon loads.
If so, you can save the file in a few jumps to the latest version.

Created in V0.49 and using V0.49.
Hmmmm... May have to go through it tile by tile.
Have not looked at it for a long time (until the last couple of days), but pretty sure it was working okay up until me accidentally wiping the bitmaps.
By the way... What exactly is an "access violation exception"?

Re: Critical Error...
The program attempted to reference memory that"access violation exception"
belonged to another program. Very commonly a program
will attempt to reference memory address zero and the
operating system probably owns that memory.
This might happen, for example, if the program 'thought'
that there were 30 rows of cells on a level but only 29 rows
actually existed.

Re: Critical Error...
sometimes completely removing the files , the ones you fixed, and then resaving and adding(perhaps under different name) to RTC fixes that error. i've had it before. i am beginning to suspect that it is memory that will occasionally error, i only have 6 gigs, i can have gimp, rtc, rtceditor, IE, and other dos programs that may be open, i am wondering if the way memory is allocated is the problem. this is not my field of experience but i got a sneaking hunch that it is repsonsible for some of the errors.

Re: Critical Error...
That would be the case only if your memoryi am wondering if the way memory is allocated is the problem.
is failing. Otherwise, a program is totally
ignorant of how memory is allocated.
OK....Before someone yells at me....there
might be complicated, rare exceptions but
that is not where one should begin the search
for a failure.

+1 Programs run in virtual memory.a program is totally ignorant of how memory is allocated
Bad RAMs can make all sorts of sneaky troubles.
In case you have any doubt use Memtest86 ( it is available as a CD image. A handy bootable CD running the test stand alone ).
Run the test overnight.

Re: Critical Error...
well, i did have a bad mem card and replaced it witht he same mem. i've not had a problem with my mem since i have tested the mem. also i am not the only one who gets the errors, this kinda eliminates the chances of having a defective mem card, although i will be buying new mem, 24 gigs. i just get a little frustrated not knowing why something will work 95% of the time, then ooops, there it is. i thought old dos programs hogged up mem, i just don't know i guess i will have to pray for GG to miraculously appear with some sort of fix for RTC. for the most part it is stable, just these random errors that pop up every so often. nothing that a save every once in a while won't cure.

Re: Critical Error...
Turns out that the dungeon is not the problem...
I created a new dungeon which was just a few corridors with nothing in it.
I get the same error with this one when trying to test.
It also will not compile.
Already existing RTC files play just fine though.
I should probably point out that this was a fresh download of V0.49 after wiping my hard disk and reinstalling XP.

Re: Critical Error...
Make sure that one or more of your folders has not been marked as read only. RTC won't be able to alter save files and make new files, and may well just crash in consternation!
Re: Critical Error...
Apologies for the double post...
Just Downloaded RTC again and it now works.
Happy Days!
If only i'd done that in the first place. Aaah... hindsight, etc.
