Author | Topic: Editor Continually Crashing - Help?
Elleite Junior Member Posts: 2 From: Registered: Mar 2001 | posted 03-19-2001 04:36 AM I was wondering if anyone might know what the problem is here...every time I run the editor, it crashes. I can load it in, and load the textures, but I can't actually apply any textures - every time I do this I get this really unpleasant message: WINROOMEDIT caused an invalid page fault in module WINROOMEDIT.EXE at 0217:00445e07. Registers: EAX=82c72d34 CS=0217 EIP=00445e07 EFLGS=00210246 EBX=027e400c SS=021f ESP=027cfbcc EBP=00000000 ECX=00000008 DS=021f ESI=00000000 FS=2a37 EDX=00000000 ES=021f EDI=0046ea30 GS=0000 Bytes at CS:EIP: f3 a5 c7 05 ec e9 46 00 07 10 00 00 c7 05 50 ea Stack dump: 82c72d34 0046e9e8 0046e098 00000005 00461c94 00000000 027e400c 00000134 000000be 000001ff 00000000 027cfcd8 56669cb7 82b7265c 00000001 82e22a68 I am running in High Colour 16 bit, resolution 1024 x 768. Processor is 300mhz, memory 128mb. Does anyone know what might help here? IP: Logged

I'm giving up for now though, cause i've been at it since i woke up around 10am today and it's 8pm now so I go onto something else for a minute or two. Anyway, updating drivers worked somewhat, it now allows me to play the game, but no luck on the editor, keeps crashing. Maybe they should call it LevelCrasher ? Maybe Arioch will know...? ------------------ Arioch, Arioch !!! Blood and Souls for my Lord Arioch ! IP: Logged

Col. Ok, but for me, since I've downloaded DirectX8, I often have an error with DDHELP when running WINROOMEDIT. Generally, this error doesn't occur the first time, but when I close the level editor and try to reload it. The only solution I founded is to reboot my PC. When running level editor, I use WADMERGER, STRPIX, TRWEST and PAINTSHOP PRO 6. I don't even know if the error comes from DIRECTX8 or from the use of this tools or another bad OCX/DLL file??? Have you ever heard about this ? IP: Logged

Run the 4 Game setup - do same as above results in this error. 3. Starting the editor - opens a BLACK window, then a BLACK screen and it pops up the error. Installing DirectX 8 doesn't help and my Blastercontrol reports it's still running DirectX 7 after installing version 8 ?! I think next ppl i'm going to bug is Creative, maybe they know about this and can make a driver update for it. BTW, the level convertor works, it starts up anyway, maybe that's because it doesn't adress DirectX commands or my vid card directly. Anyway I'm getting more and more convinced that my problem can only be solved by Creative, so I'll go there now. Until laters ------------------ Arioch, Arioch !!!

Elleite Junior Member Posts: 2 From: Registered: Mar 2001 | posted 03-21-2001 02:20 PM Thanks to everyone who replied...I will try getting the new DirectX to see if it works, though I suspect it may not (already using DirectX 8). However since I'm getting a new harddrive soon and Windows will basically be blitzed I have decided to leave it be for the moment if that doesn't work...and pray I can get it up and running once I get my new stuff!
