Catacomb Crashes!

[DRW]

Hello. I hope someone can explain this
problem. I Created a level using the
catacomb wad before downloading the updated
revised wad from another website. When I play the non-updated version, the level crashes when I exit out the game instead of
going to the load game screen. If I were to
submit this non-updated level, would it still
load the next level I create without crashing?
Thanks, DRW

DRW. send the prj file to chronicles.levels@trchronicles.com and we'll have a look at what's going on.

Thanks.

Sorry for the late reply... hope you happen to find this.

Sounds like you're having a problem caused by the load camera coordinates. Try setting new load camera coordinates. Go to the "Creating Your Own Projects" section of the Manual and follow the instructions there. Your coordinates are probably not inside an existing room. You'll have to select a new "view" by using the F1 key to get the coordinates while inside the game. These coordinates are then placed in the script. Let me know if you have problems doing this. http://www.tombraiderchronicles.com/forums/smile.gif

Thanks DaleR, I'll give it a try.

To DaleR: I tried using the DOS commands on page 64 in the manual. I did steps 1 thru 5,(In the DOS 101 section) and when I enter Tomb Raider Level Editor\script script.txt, I get a bad command or file name message. (I'm new to DOS, so it's likely that I'm not doing something right). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, DRW

Don't use the info in the Manual to do the DOS stuff... they included a file that does all that for you.

In your trle\script folder... right-click the "script.bat" file and then click "edit".

Remove the two "\" characters from the ends of the lines and then save it back on top of itself and exit the text editor.

Now, after you modify you "English.txt" and/or "script.txt" files, just go to the trle\script folder and double-click the "script.bat" file. It will create the new dat files and move stuff for you.

Hope this helps....

To DaleR: Just thought I'd let you know about this; In you earlier post you said to remove the "\" characters from the script.bat file, instead it had these characters: ../ I deleted these and it didn't work. But, I added ../ characters back into the file, made the camera changes and ran the script.bat file. Now everything works great. Turns out that I didn't have to delete anything from the script.bat. Thanks for the help! DRW

I must have confused you...

All that you should have deleted were the two backslash \ characters. The double periods .. need to be there.

.. is used to name the parent directory, whereas a single \ character names the root directory.

Thus a CD.. would change to the parent directory and a CD\ would send you to the root directory.

Sorry DaleR, you didn't confuse me, I DID! Thanks again.
