Crash There She Goes MY MOD......

[Eleven Warrior]

Hi all how are you..

I was halfway through creating my Mod and decided to retest it in Game Mode.. Exported I mean..

Just like Drakken I created Modified weapons One hit One kill (LOL).. In my Mod I put the Shop Framework (awesome by the way).. and the Sky system Framework, LoG Scripting framework and many more Assets..

I exported the Mod every Level to test it, all good no problems with save and load games at all, bug tested etc.....(with Ultimate Weapons)

Then I decided it was time to test it without the Weapons and play it as you would. All was going well, then I thougth I have to go to the Shop to get some more Ingredients for Potion making,....I got to the shop area in the level,, Activated the button which gives you Money, walked on the Hidden Plate to activate the Shop, did my shopping no problem, made some potions and then I thought I better Save my Game...Well from this moment my Jaw dropped, Heart sank and water started forming in my eyes.. OMG IT CRASHED....NO I SAID I CANT BE!!!!!

So I loaded the (Original Shop Editor File) which I got from the Nexus (the updated version) the I Exported it and started a new game. I brought some stuff sold stuff, then I saved the game and you can guess what happened from here Yep CHRASHHHHHHHHH LOL..The Dungeon by the way had no extra assets added..

Well I can say I now have to reedit my whole Mod Damm its going to take Hours (LOL).. I actually feel like giving up but no way man I spent to long creating this Mod and to many Good people in the community have help me make this possible.. THANK YOU ALL MUCH APPRECIATED AHY AND ALMOST HUMAN FOR GIVING ME THE TOOLS TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN...

PS: I have not modified the Script or Items in the Shop Frame it is as is not edited.....

Anyway sorry for rambling on here is the Error I got when the Game Crashed:

I had this problem and it was due to variables in my script functions. Once I declared them "local", it fixed the problem.

Hustin is on track I believe.

When I was playing mahric's "Awakening of Taarnab" mod I reported a bug that had the same error and he said it was because he used a variable before initializing it, or declaring it maybe, don't recall the exact wording.

I wish I knew what it was LOL thxs for the reply bro

I wish I knew what it was LOL thxs for the reply bro

PS: I seen your name before cant rem where, in some Scripting??

[antti]

Could it be that you are storing game objects in a "global" variable instead of, say, a string containing just the ID of the object you need to store? Take a look at this document and check out your scripts if you can spot something suspicious: http://www.grimrock.net/modding/save-ga ... variables/

The odds are that the cause of the error is somewhere in the shop script.

Hahah, take it easy. It's cool...

Oh yeah, I didn't realize the shop was a pre-made script. It still could be that the original script hasn't been thoroughly tested or that there's some room for error when adding it to a mod (like, I don't know, missing parenthesis or something?). To get a better idea of the cause, I suppose someone would have to take a good look at shop script and the way you have it implemented in your mod. Unfortunately I'm not really available for that (since it would keep me from working on Grimrock 2 ) so all I can try to do is just try to point folks to a (hopefully) right direction.

One thing that you can of course do is to try to isolate the problem to make it simpler to find the cause. Like create a new dungeon with nothing else but the shop in it and see if the error happens again.
