Crash to desktop with custom map(s)

Bugi · 05-08-2007, 07:02 AM

I'm trying to make a room over room area for my map, SW just crashes to desktop (without any error messages) immediately when I enter the actual sector that has foor or ceiling linked to other sector. I can't find any problems with my map and even made a small and simple test map, which is just 2 rooms, linked to eachother with room over room sprites from ceiling and floor. Same problem there, everything runs fine until I enter the actual sector with see-through floor or ceiling.

However, original SW maps and the example.map run fine. I've also made few maps 2 years back which had the effect (and accidentally deleted those maps few months back when I reformatted my comp :\), and those maps ran fine back then.

Here are the sprites used in the test map I made, the joined sector also overlap correctly in the z-axis.

Happens both in 8bit and 32bit modes.

Any suggestions what I'm doing wrong? :P

Any chance of a link to your test map for us to try.
Maybe its your hardware!

Well, the hardware hasn't changed except adding one HD since the last maps, but of course anything is possible

Here is the test map I used.

Ok I get the crash also with a error:
Did not find a sector at 49521, 35790, -7680
Take look through my Build information on my site as I have some quite comprehensive info there on how to make room over rooms, both simple and advanced.

Yay! As I suspected, it was some small detail I had forgotten about, and your guide helped with that

. I had same tag2 values on the bound_floor_base_offset and bound_floor_offset sprites, when bound_floor_offset should have a greater value, so the sectors weren't actually moving to the right location.
