Saving on Normal Difficulty only, crashes Thief 3

DarkDragon on 25/7/2008 at 00:05

Right, here is the logfile for Normal when I click 'Create New Save':

Code:

Log : Saving level... [ 109297] (..\..\Core\Inc\FOutputDeviceFile.h : 51)
Log : Saving physics... [ 109304] (..\..\Core\Inc\FOutputDeviceFile.h : 51)

Log : Viewport WindowsViewport__0: WM_DisplayChange [ 109922] (..\..\Core\Inc\FOutputDeviceFile.h : 51)

However, here is the Log file for Easy Mode.

Code:

Does this code make sense to anyone? It looks like the problem might be in the "ChangedActorDatabase".. wherever that is in this editor :(

How get you this save's log?

DarkDragon on 25/7/2008 at 16:07

It was in C:\Docs and Settings\Me\Thief - Deadly Shadows\

Loads of logs go there whenever you launch the game to construct an IBT file.

Whatever did you do to the old gamesys, you now need to add the new gamesys.

DarkDragon on 2/8/2008 at 00:13

Now this problem is appearing in my newer 2nd mission. Does anyone have a possible solution yet that I could try? If not then ill just abandon all hope and release what I have as it is.

Ive tried moving all my stuff into a new Editor installation but nothing I try seems to work. :(

Changed the name of this thread cause I dont really want to start a new one.

Martin Karne on 2/8/2008 at 07:19

I believe you modified the gamesys by adding something, you need to compile and save selected only, click below the save menu to show your selection (gamesys) or something like that, I did it not long ago.

Else its going to complain if you save your map, hey that thing doesn't exist, save anyway?
:confused:

DarkDragon on 2/8/2008 at 14:55

I tried two things. I tried what you said Martin but that doesn't have any affect.

I also tried using my custom Gamesys in a normal unmodified installation of Thief 3, starting a new game and saving works fine on all difficulties.

Thanks anyway though, ill keep looking around for clues.

Martin Karne on 2/8/2008 at 21:27

Yes but in the editor do you get a warning when loading those maps?
Something like this?
"Warning some objects could not be loaded"

DarkDragon on 3/8/2008 at 16:07

No I dont get any warnings at all.
If it was such a thing, I would imagine it would affect all difficulties and not just Normal difficulty.
