Error when trigger_levelchange !!?! Created 18 years ago2006-02-27 11:03:04 UTC by SickMothaFucker

Hi guys, I can't make this simple thing working. I am making a simple trigger_levelchange and the game always crashes and gives this error.

Half-Life: hl.exe - Application Error

The instruction at "0x0b4d640a" referenced memory at "0x0032746e". The memory could not be "read".

???

We need more information of your problem.

Tell us your changelevel entity setup, and post your compile log.

The entity setup is the easyest one. I have a trigger_changelevel at the end of my first level, and I have a info_landmark at the begining of the second level. That's it. No flags on.

the log is this one, from the first level.

First, there's a leak.

Second, you'll need a landmark in the first level as well, to match up with the landmark in the second level.

You're using the old Q... tools. Those are very old and should not be used anymore. Get the improved ZHLT (Zoners Half-Life Tools). Check out the links section for the download.

Also:

Fix this leak.

Edit: Argh, CP...

the thing is that there is something wrong with these ZOner tools. They don't create a bsp file,

** Executing...
** Command: H:Gameshlbsp.exe
** Parameters: "H:GamescsMazemapsmaze1"

and BTW could this leak be the only problem ?

There's nothing wrong with Zoners. If they don't create a .bsp, then that's due to a problem during the compile. Zoners tools seem to be less forgiving when it comes to problems, but it's good practice to solve problems anyway, so...

Zoner tools dont create the bsp's? Sounds like a setup problem then.

EDIT: Ar Cap'n P beat someone again!

WHAT PROBLEM?

<ut>Answering spree</ut>

Now if only those answers are helpfull...

@smf: Well, the leak problem, to start with...

No, they are not

I've tried with Zoners, and with the default???

Captain P, will you help me with some C++ coding?

Looking that last compile log, you've probably set it up wrong. Perhaps you've filled in the wrong paths for the Zoner compile tools?

As for helping with C++ coding, I received your mail and answered it, but they're generally questions that require some more understanding of the HL gamecode than I currently have. While I can get a basic understanding of what's involved by looking through the code, I can't help you with everything you asked. Take your time looking through the code and getting familiar with it (by this time I'm really seeing the importance of documenting code, but oh well). Being able to trace function calls and variabele uses greatly helps pinpointing the parts you need to change, but it requires understanding and time...

ok, how should I fix the zoner tools config ?

the paths are alright!!!

H:Gamescszhlt34x86finalhlcsg.exe

and so long....

ok, It is not from the Leak, i've fixed it and again a crash.... it is not from my map. I've tried the tutorial map for trigger_changelevel also crashed...

shit ??????????????????????

I've tryed with some old Zoner tools here is the log, an btw it Crashesh again with same error!!!

it can safely be ignored. However, if your map starts exhibiting strange
or obscure errors, consider this as suspect.

Is there another level to transport the player from one level to another ?

In addition, many of those wads don't contain any usefull texture, so cut the used wads down to decals, halflife, liquids and xeno.

Captain P rule all! Thank you! Captain P - good, wad - bad!
