Custom made maps keeps crashing. (Recycled Topic.) - Mina Darsh - 09-15-2010

Hello, I can now finally make and load maps, but no matter what kind of map I make (I even made a terribly simple one that is just a cube with nothing in it but a light, planes for floor and ceiling, walls, welders and a starting point.) I can just load it, stand in it forever, but as soon I move one meter, the game crashes and gives the evil EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION error. It's really frustrating as it blows away the chance to make maps, the editor is so easy to use. Sad

Shall put the hpl.log here, if that's the one needed:

Bump due to topic recycle.

it crashes because it can't find or load the materials.cfg file. make sure the file is where it should be and that you have not edited it. easiest to fix is probably a re-install of the game.

the materials.cfg file should be in the same place as amnesia.exe, all the libs and all the game folders with game data.

Ah of course! I accidentally deleted it when the editor started doing funny... Thought it was part of the Material Editor, guess it wasn't...

Thanks so much for the quick help! Smile
