Garrulous Glaahk Wham Bam Shizzlezam Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Alright. I was editing a town in my scenario. Town number 1. I went in to play it, and it put me in the default town, Town number 0. However, when I enter the town, it is completely black. There is some cave floor, and some adobe porticuli. I take one step, and it throws be out of the town. Not only that, but the town name was changed to something like %#&!. I went into the editor, and as soon as I started to edit the town terrain, it gave me an error message. It said I could close the program, or ignore the problem. If I ignore it, then it closes the editor anyway. I am on XP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 This is a known bug that manifests itself occasionally for no known reason, and doesn't happen to everyone. First of all, you didn't change the starting location to Town 1, most likely. Second, I assume you left Town 0 blank and started on Town 1. This bug only occurs in blank, unedited towns. Placing a tile or two of floor or wall will prevent this from happening, however once it happens there is no cure that I know of. It probably also added random monsters and items that don't exist to the town. Just don't use that town. If you haven't done much, though, I recommend starting over with a fresh file, just in case.

Garrulous Glaahk Wham Bam Shizzlezam Posted December 26, 2004 Author Share Posted December 26, 2004 Actually, I am starting in town 0. I had fully edited it, and it was just about complete. I would not really worry if I was not going to use it. There were no random monsters, however. If there were, I did not see them because I would take one step out in the town and be taken outside. I am just wondering if this is a common bug, like the one you mentioned ADoS, or if there is something wrong with my computer. Thankfully, I had sent the latest versioin to Kelandon, and he sent it back to me, so I have recovered all the lost information. This will teach me to save backups more frequently.

Kyshakk Koan Milu Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 One possibility is that the editor has just messed up the town. It happens from time to time. I haven't seen an explanation of what causes it. It happened once to a town that I had finished when I was designing The Leaving. I make backups about once a week nowadays.
