Script CTD

Recommended Posts

Anyone else using GBS3 having intermittent Crash To Desktop problems?

A script I was working on,and seemed to work just fine,now generates intermittent CTD's.

Never had a script that would compile (parse) successfully ever generate a CTD.

Plus, this is a simple script.

Oh....this is using the latest .30.14 patch.

And the latest GBS3 from the patch server.

Nope but then I haven't been doing any scripting lately.

You know the drill by now you need to

[*]identify the exact cause.

[*]be able to reproduce it every time

[*]get the problem verified by someone else.

First rule of thumb when this sort of thing happens

[*]full uninstall, manual delete of dir, clean install

[*]Re download GBS, extract files.

You may have inadvertently changed one of the data files while viewing it.

[*]Reparse script check the output for any warnings /errors as it parses.

[*]Play script.

I have particularly with GBS 1 and my first large script and again with a later version with code revisions / additions but back then we had access to the debug logs so tracking down the cause was easy

If the above doesn't fix it cut it down and make it even simpler.

i.e. cut and paste sections of your existing code into a new script create 1 NPC without orders etc

keep building it up and playing until a problem occurs.

I've not seen any reports of the original game scripts (ACM or IA) CTD with the latest RC so I would suspect the problem is at your end.

Can't identifty the exact cause,seems intermittent

I did reproduce one problem every time,and eliminated it from the script.

No..the problem is somewhat solid.

The Weird problem is,it use to work (I thought).

Going to try your suggestions.

Thanks for the response.

Excellent information.

No.....actually it wasn't program logic.

I assigned a Gammlan cruiser a fixed asset of Radine ,Plutonium,and Iridium.

If the cruiser was destroyed,they would be in a cargo pod.

But I commented that line out,and still had problems.

Plus other obscure CTD's.

Maybe my best bet is to start from scratch.

The only reason I posted is because it use to work.

I simply removed it from behind the stove.(From the back burner).
