Edit: I crash when I use a torch on WoRm's Mirkwood tileset
« on: April 20, 2012, 02:39:46 am »


               EDIT: Since I already made a topic about Mirkwood, I decided to edit it to ask a new question. I'm using Mirkwood to create a dark, sort of haunted forest infested with evil. Well, as I result of that, I made it get pretty dark when nightfalls and so the player would probably react by using a torch. Unfortunately, this causes the game to crash. Not instantly, but when you walk around a bit, it freezes. Now, I'm assuming this is a tileset issue because I created a quick area and made it even darker just to test. Didn't crash there.

Can't think of anything else that could cause it to crash. Quite honestly I've only got terrian options, no placeables... So, is it a tileset issue? Is it possible to fix.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What I originally posted... this has been solved.
I wish to download Mirkwood tileset for my module, but im a bit confused as to which file to download or if I am to download them all:

I scroll down, and I find 4 mirkwood files. Am I supposed to download them all? What does each contain?

               Yes. You require all of them.

mirkv16.7z.001
mirkv16.7z.002
mirkv16.7z.003
mirkv16.7z.004

FP!

               Once you've got them downloaded to the same folder/directory, make sure you have 7zip.  Double click on the .001 file, and it should decompress and combine the data from all four files.

               Edited original topic with a new question!

Oh, and did The Lord of Worms ever make a mini-map for this tileset? The mini-map appears as just white...

               To be honest I havent really looked at that tileset in a long long time... does the player in question have environmental shadows turned on with the torch when he crashes?

also I dont think I ever did do a minimap for that area, but give me till tonight and I will post one on the same page you downloaded mirkwood from.
I will also look into the crashing a bit more.

               I can confirm this issue. On our PW a number of players have similar issues, however we are using an older version of the mirkwood tileset (should be the previous release). So far, we always assumed it was due to problems with some particular graphics card/driver, but it seems to be independent of graphics card/driver. So ... we don't have a clue, how it is caused :-)
Disabling environmental shadows or environmental mapping has no effect. It also occurs in an module, whre only the mirkwood hak is used.

The area crashes, when they enter with any type of light source (i.e. light spell, or a light effect from an item). Some players can't even re-enter the area after the first crash occured. If they try to re-enter it keeps crashing during the loading screen.

I could send you the corresponding map, if it helps.

               Ive disabled environmental maping and shadows and it no longer crashes. Sorry to hear that it did not solve it for you asymmetic. Maybe the problem was corrected in the latest version (with you needing to turn of environmental shadows etc) I don't know.

I'll be looking forward to seeing that mini-map Worm. While at it I might add I really like your fantasy interiors. The dungeons seem suitable for making the interiors of ruins.
