Custom story crashes whole game - CQBgamer - 07-08-2014

Hey everyone. So I went to run a custom story I've just started working on and when I select it from the custom story menu the game crashes with the following blackbox message:
Quote: Amnesia.exe caused an EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION in module <UNKNOWN> at 0023 0305FCE9

I only have this issue with one particular CS, all the other ones run fine. I will include the HPL below.

Spoiler below!

RE: Custom story crashes whole game - Mudbill - 07-08-2014

Which CS are you referring to? Perhaps it's a known issue? If not, maybe your game is missing some files required for it. If you have it on Steam, you could try a file integrity check.

RE: Custom story crashes whole game - CQBgamer - 07-08-2014

Its one that I'm making. I did several integrity checks and re installed the whole game. There arent any files I used on it that I wouldn't have, as the map is literally just a floor and a box light. Im just trying to see if my image looks ok in the CS description and when I click on it in the Custom Story menu to load it, the game crashes before I even get to the description menu.

RE: Custom story crashes whole game - Mudbill - 07-08-2014

Wait, so it crashes when you select it in the custom stories list? Perhaps you did something quite wrong in the .lang file or the .cfg file. Could you post those?

RE: Custom story crashes whole game - DnALANGE - 07-08-2014

Is your texture , dds jpg or etcetra a pow2 size?
your pucture might be 2x2 4x4 8x8 16x16 32x32 64x64 etc..
try that.
another thing could be a error somewhere in your .hpl (Script file)

RE: Custom story crashes whole game - CQBgamer - 07-09-2014

I rewrote the .lang and story cfg and it works now. Thanks Smile
