Can anyone please tell me what this means and how I can fix it? Thanks.

It looks like you have no playerstart. Just in case:

Marker>Keypoint>NavigationPoint>PlayerStart

In order to make it work w/Entry.gmp you need to add the property in PlayerStart Teleport>TeleportDestination>YourMapNameStart and tell Entry.unr to go to that map & name.

DarkDragon on 27/9/2005 at 02:09

I have a PlayerStart in my mission but if I alter anything in the Entry.unr PlayerStart then Thief 3 gives me a few error messages on startup...or I am misunderstanding you....ill take a look in a non edited Entry to see if im getting it right

Ziemanskye on 27/9/2005 at 09:51

Also remember that the needs to be the teleport properties on the player start as well, else it can't find it.

(I tend to have at least two starts - if it has teleports then they don't count as a normal start from the non-Entry.gmp methods of starting the level)

DarkDragon on 27/9/2005 at 11:43

hehe, sorry but I am really not understanding anything...Ive put a name in both but still an error on game startup...a Third Player Start in the mix does nothing different

Edit: All the PlayerStarts have Teleport>TeleportDestName (there isnt a TeleportDestination property) set to LRMStart

Ziemanskye on 27/9/2005 at 11:59

Well, the thing about the extra start point was just a convenience - in that you should have one with the teleportDestName, and one without it.

And the ExitMissionInfo in the Entry.gmp needs to have the propeties added to it (if you use the ones that are already there, it doesn't seem to work, so you need to add them) so that it knows which map and which teleportDestName to go to.

OK, Ive got past Thief 3 crashing on startup but when Thief 3 is loading the level I get this

Code:

I am guessing that you may have an object outside the play area that is causing a problem....Although that log doesn't really help much other than this line:
TriangleGroup::load_archetype - Serialized index is out of range (-84)!

I also had problem with starting mission (crash to desktop). I was very desperated but i found that i edited file inventory.sch wrong - missing command "TEXT ENTRY"
It´s tommyrot but have a look at it. Maybe it´s it.

DarkDragon on 28/9/2005 at 02:08

I solved the problem thanks :)
Just got to solve a few other problems such as

Not being able to restart my map
Not being able to finish the level (T3 crashes on attempting to go to the level after)
Why just after rebuilding my mission, the Guards are afraid of me

If anyone can aid me it would be much appreciated *smiles sweetly*
