what is it?

Post by THOM »

Can you tell me what that means:
RTC (V0.28) Diagnostic file - Thu Feb 03 20:51:27 2005

Error:
an access violation exception.

Stack Dump:
RTC.InitSecondary();
RTC.DoFrame(int 7);
RTC.WinMain();
I got that during the starting of RTC with my selfcreated Dungeon.
I often get crashes - maybe its because I try to use the options as most creativ as possible. Because of that I do not know where to search for mistakes (beside of the things the editor tells me at the startup).
So, I need help to find the problem...

I realized that there is written Version 0.28 - in fact I use Editor and RTC of v0.32

Hmmm... That doesn't tell us much. What kind of customisations have you made to your dungeon -- do you have new bitmaps and/or sounds?

Do you get any errors or warnings during compilation of the dungeon, or does it crash before that?

InitSecondary is the loading of the dungeon (there's slightly better diagnostics making this more obvious in more recent versions of RTC that the V0.28 you're using though).

From memory, the most common reason for that crash in V0.28 was that you have an item with an OPBY=(NULL) somewhere in your dungeon - again, this is now fixed in more recent versions. If that isn't the case (or if it is and it doesn't solve the crash), please just send me your dungeon txt file and I'll take a look at it for you.
