Well, I finally got my first map, and it crashes (and closes down RTTR completely) after you right click the mouse and move ingame as soon you got this map loaded.

That is, after I added the landbridges and hubs. I played the map first without them and everything went fine.
Didn't thought it would crash after adding the landbridges and hubs.

I cannot find a logfile and the dos windows disappears too fast to see anything. I see something about: stack 1, stack 2 and something about a file missing in my documents folder??? This is also strange because I have installed RTTR+S2GOLD together in C:/Games/S2RTTR, so I don't get it while the log file is referring to somewhere in the documents directory.

Is there someway to troubleshoot the map? Is it maybe because there are no direct attack options? I am stumped.... :(

If you start rttr from a console yourself, you keep this console. To do that, open a run prompt (Win+R), navigate to your rttr folder ("cd C:PathToRTTR" without quotes) and run the game (type "s25client.exe > mylog.txt" without quotes).

This will create a file "mylog.txt" in your RTTR-directory, which you can in turn copy here so we can take a look whats going on. As for the map crash, i'll test the map to see if there is some problem with it the client itself cant handle.

Edit: Starting the map works just fine. Seems to be some kind of problem on your end.
Edit2: Got it to crash, investigating.

The map does START fine, but as soon as you move around the game crashes.

This is the entire log file I got:

Update:

I have made some gaps in the landbridges and now the map doesn't crash.

It seems the AI has trouble finding a path to it's enemies.

---

I just tried some things (loading it in the original editor, this sometimes removes some bugs, replacing players etc.) but map still
crashs.

I just want to say: this map doesn't look that fair as only player one can reach gold very fast, also missing heights, objects and
texture design is something I want to point out ;)

---

---

I've taken a look, the crash originates from the OpenGL driver and seems to be caused by rendering certain parts of the map (the area around 0,0). It seems like something on this map causes the game to send invalid draw commands to the graphics card.

---

I fixed the problem, the AI could not find any paths towards it's enemies. I created holes in the landbridges and the map works just fine by now. Played it a few hours without problems. Got the link in the other topic fixed as well.

@Spike, all the players are located at roughly even distances to the gold.

---

Distance yes, but 3 players are blocked by trees, one not ;)

---

---

I'm quite sure its not the AI thats causing the map to crash, since this crash would occur at a very different part of the code. Also, scrolling would not influence the crash, which it does - its triggered by scrolling to the upper left corner.

That being said, it would be interesting to find out whats causing the crash - maps should not be able to crash the game.

---

Maybe that problem is connected to the problem that terrain blending is missing when close to map borders? Just a simple thought...
