General Dungeon Editor glitches and problems

[takis76]

Strange:

I restarted my computer and I tried to load the same Mod "This Rotten Place" and the error was not reproduced.
But the second time my computer said about c++ runtime error. (I have c++ runtime libraries installed).

But (After restart)

Then I tried another one Mod with name "The Reeking Depths 1.4.5" from workshop. The error reproduced.

I tried many portraits. Very rare this error happens with the Mod "This Rotten Place" and constantly with the Mod "The Reeking Depths 1.4.5"

This might help you to track the problem.

Been having some problems with the editor crashing after about half an hour of it running.
Just a Windows window pops up saying legendofgrimrock.exe is no longer responding O.o

it's making me very careful to save regularly...

[McSkivv]

Ok then. The "playthesound" error is my fault. It was a buggy function that I disabled and left for later. Apparently on saving, if an invalid function exists it causes the game to crash even without being used. After fixing that error, I tried again and got a new error. Upon starting my dungeon, The Reeking Depths 1.4.6 (Not on Steam Workshop yet), I quicksaved and got this:

Code: Select all

attempt to serialize function 'steptwo' with upvalues
stack traceback:

EDIT: It happens with both saving and quicksaving

EDIT 2: "steptwo" is part of another function that is working properly.

Code: Select all

local cntdwn = 3
function stepone()
if cntdwn == 3
then
cntdwn = 2
else
cntdwn = 3
end
end

function steptwo()
if cntdwn == 2
then
cntdwn = 1
else
cntdwn = 3
end
end

function stepthree()
if cntdwn == 1
then
cntdwn = 0
else
cntdwn = 3
end
end

function chkdr()
if cntdwn == 0
then
dungeon_secret_door_28:open()
else
dungeon_secret_door_28:close()
end
end

The error "attempt to serialize function 'steptwo' with upvalues" means that your function called "steptwo" is using local variables that are defined outsided the function.

For example,

Code: Select all

local myVar = 0

function steptwo()
  print(myVar)
end

Either use "global" variables by removing the local keyword in front of variables, or move the local variable inside the function.

EDIT: I write "global" in quotation because it's not really a global variable. All variables except locals are visible only in the scope of the script entity, so there are no user definable global variables.

[McSkivv]

I've posted the script that uses function steptwo() above. The local variable is contained with that script. Also, it works fine in extensive testing inside the editor.

[petri]

Your sample code uses a local variable that is not inside the scope of the function and hence the error. Just remove the "local" keyword and it should work ok.

[McSkivv]

It worked. Thanks a heap, I would never have thought to remove the "local" bit. I thought that was what it was for. >.<

[petri]

Yeah, I guess we need to clarify this point in the documentation. The documentation about save games is a bit arcane at the moment. Glad that it worked.

Do you mean the "error lines" in the preview window`? It's part of the console that can be cleared by typing "clear" in it. You can access the console by pressing the § key. You can also configure the console key in grimrock.cfg to something else if you wish.

You can change the wallset from level's properties. Right click on the level in left-hand side Project view.

umm dumb noob here.. so what's the double S key you mentioned? not sure which one that is... man I feel dumb for asking.. lol

[Montis]

that's a paragraph sign.

for me (German keyboard layout) the key left from "1" worked for the console.

I also have a keyboard with EN layout and what I did there was defining the key I wanted to "move forward" or something similar, then finding that key code in the config and replacing the console key with that. after that just revert the move forward and voila, console there.
