[864] Subscreen Reading

5 replies · 1,655 views · Started 14 October 2008

When loading my quest, ZQuest reads the custom subscreen data, and crashes. ZQuest doesn't write an error to the allegro.log file, it just freezes, pops up a Windows error report window, and dies. Considering I can't even open my quest, that's all I can really say about it. However, if it makes any difference, I put the HCP item on the passive subscreen, so it might have something to do with that

If you guys need to examine my quest, let me know somehow, and I'll get it to you. Would rather not let my work get out in the open, you know?

Not fixed. Just tried opening my quest in build 885, and it still hung on the subscreen data and crashed, exactly how it acted in 864

I should've clarified. The bug itself is fixed, but actually loading already corrupted quests isn't possible. I could go into a long technical explanation as to why, but that's not necessary. And, as you already know, I could tweak things to be able to restore these quests, just not in a way that would make ZC possible for release.
