Author | Topic: Windows Error when launching level editor
gerry Junior Member Posts: 13 From:* Registered: May 2000 | posted 12-28-2000 10:39 AM Please HELP !!! I have successfully installed and played TR4, as well, I have successfully installed and played Chronicles. I have successfully installed TR4LE and played the sample games. However, even though the TR4LE has been installed (standard/full install) I get this window error when trying to launch the "Room Editor". And yes, I have done the obvious and set desktop to 1024x768 @ 16bit colors. Regards, Gerry Windows error on WINROOMEDIT: The program hs performed an illegal function and will shutdown.

Andykaz unregistered | posted 12-31-2000 04:45 PM Hello... I have similar problem. I have Voodoo 1 and Tseng ET6000. RE will not run, because it crashed (illegal operation). I have latest drivers for Voodoo and ET6000. My depth color is 16bit in 1024x768. Of course DirectX 7 is installed. It is always too when I try to run Room Editor and when I change my Graphic Adapter in TR5 or TR4 setup. I tested other drivers, resolutions, bit depths, operating systems, DirectX versions, BIOS setup and I have only this problem with illegal operation. IP: Logged
Chaoslord Member Posts: 63 From:Lisbon, Portugal Registered: Dec 2000 | posted 12-31-2000 05:29 PM ok.. al of you give me a complete~hardware list od your computers.. i almost bet it has something to do with the Motherboard chipset / CPU IP: Logged
aca98mej Junior Member Posts: 1 From: Registered: Jan 2001 | posted 01-01-2001 02:29 AM More likely to be voodoo 1/2s inability to render in a window. Try disabling the card and then rebooting. IP: Logged
gerry Junior Member Posts: 13 From:* Registered: May 2000 | posted 01-01-2001 12:19 PM After some further investigation I am almost certain that the problem is due to the availability of only 64mb. I tried running in 800x600 mode and it was ok. Time to upgrade to 128mb I guess. IP: Logged

I tried running in 800x600 mode and it was ok. Time to upgrade to 128mb I guess. If you're going to upgrade anyway, why not just upgrade to 512mb? That'll take care of your memory problems for at least the next two years... Best regards, Striffelbuur. IP: Logged
Pytr Member Posts: 132 From:Netherlands Registered: Dec 2000 | posted 01-02-2001 10:33 AM Just for the information: I'm working with a Voodoo 2 on 64 MB and had no problems on installing or working with the editor. IP: Logged
username2 Member Posts: 47 From:glasgow Registered: Aug 2001 | posted 09-24-2001 04:02 PM Just thought i would say my mate has a pentium 2 333 and a voodoo2 editor works fine, i have an amd k62 and a voodoo3, it illegally operates alot so i use my friends pc. still trying to sus out why the editor wont let me select find objects without pagefaults etc, with all this digging i have honed my pc to a rather poerful state, with all the gleened new knowlegde but still cant work the editor, i am buying a new pc this is how much i want to finish my levels, if this has no effect then i will stay with quake and theif editors.

Scorpion Junior Member Posts: 18 From:Taupo Registered: Jan 2001 | posted 09-24-2001 04:16 PM Hi All, I had this problem and I still have that problem. I have a Pentium 166 and a Voodoo2 12mb. However, I got it goin' If I turn the res down to 800*600 it works. Although I can't put lighting in (which really takes the realism down) and i can't switch to different textures manually without using the keys on the keyboard, unless I switch back and forth from 800*600 and 1024*768. So I suggest you start up TRLE in 800*600, then change it to 1024*768. Works for me IP: Logged
tommy tomb raider Member Posts: 368 From:Kalamazoo, Mi. U.S.A Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 09-24-2001 06:13 PM I have the same problem, and was able to overcome it (usually) in the same fashion that Scorpion has. Start it it 800x600 and switch the res after your prj is loaded. The only viable reason I've heard so far is that my ATI Rage Pro vid card only has 4mb of mem, and should have at least 8mb for 1024x768 to work correctly. ------------------ LARA'S WARDROBE Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace...

username2 Member Posts: 47 From:glasgow Registered: Aug 2001 | posted 09-24-2001 08:55 PM jeez this editor needs a patch jeez what a wierd damn thing, it works but you need to be lucky enough to have the same specs as eidos or like me buy a new machine, i am spending a small fortune on a new pc, with d3d instead of voodoo and 512Mb ram with an athlon 1.4. i bet the thing still wont work, anyway all the best those who have it working and to those who cannot. i am somewhere in between, will go and try this 600 by 800, i found out my plug and play was not configured to run at 1100 = 876 used powerstrip to get it to work, the editorseems to illegally operate but i can still do stuff but it is very unstable i click on the switch box or find object and woah here i go.

aktrekker Member Posts: 454 From:WA, USA Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 09-24-2001 10:44 PM D3D INSTEAD of Voodoo? D3D is just a layer of software that runs on top of the video card driver. It even works with Voodoo. The editor doesn't require a real big machine. You are working with lots of 3D graphics, so if you use hardware acceleration you need lots of video ram. The bigger your level, the more objects in the wad, the more video memory you need. When they aren't being displayed, they also need lots of system ram. If it wasn't for Windows, 64MB would probably be plenty. I have an ATI card and run at 1600x1200, 32-bit color and don't have any problems. Except when something gets corrupted in the project. Just a suggestion, try saving more often. After a few saves, quit the editor and go back in. It could be memory management screwing up. IP: Logged
