Feel the Bern

[Toby]

Is Mauti's conversion of the Bern map working for people? I keep getting type 1 errors when I try and launch the level. I've given it 500MB Ram, but it doesn't seem to make a difference, it cuts out right after the loading screen...

is it just me?

[*DAMN Mauti]

On my mac it works wonderful and I also didn't go tany complaints about the map yet. Strange - look at the Rogue Spear log maybe you find some useful hints why it crashes.

[Toby]

It probably is just me - it did the same thing when I tried converting it for myself before...

This is what the log says:

R6FILENAME: FindFile could not find file mp_bern_tht.spl
R6FILENAME: FindFile could not find file mp_bern_tht.spl
R6FILENAME: FindFile could not find file mp_bern_tht.spl
R6FILENAME: FindFile could not find file mp_bern_tht.spl
R6FILENAME: FindFile could not find file mp_bern_tht.int
R6FILENAME: FindFile could not find file z.m

Which, unfortunately, doesn't mean much to me. Sigh.
Anyway, I'll keep digging - I've just posted another review, btw - hope it's ok.

Well normally it should skip the problems mentioned in your log except you don't have a full install then problems could occur. If you have a full install I don't have a clue - sorry.

Thanks for another outstanding review btw you should download Operation Tigerstripe a really wonderful and extreme map.(Bern and Tigerstripe are currently my two favourite map mods)

Bye,

Mauti

[Toby]

Thanks Mauti -

I'll download it immediately....

And thanks for the help. I do have a full install, but I've also messed around with my RS application by installing the Rogue Spear Couterier skins - so that might be playing up as well...

Thanks again

I keep getting type 2 crashes everytime I try to get to a planning screen for this level.  It quits half way while trying to load the pda screens.  The log says nothing, I have the full install.

[Toby]

Have you tried allocating more memory to the Rogue Spear application? Also, does it happen in both assault and terrorist hunt modes?

solution: buy a shitload of ram. one gig gets the job done...

[SiGmA_X]

Yeah, 1 gig will be healla tight in my new G4 (G5, mb ) but i only have like 386 right now, and i can run RS with mod's (all like 50) at once...

[jn.blackhand]

A humpback whale would be hella cool for my airborne traveling circus, but for now I'll just have to count on those flying pigs.

Remember to make your RAM allocations multiples of 1024 as that is actually how many kilobytes are in a MEG.
500*1024= 512000
When you don't use proper multiples all of your apps will crash with type 1 or 2 errors

ID=01 Bus Error
This means the computer tried to access memory that doesn't exist. You can get this error on almost any Macintosh computer. If one of these computers tried to access one or more bytes beyond the total number of bytes in RAM, you see a bus error. You should never see this error on a Macintosh Plus or SE, because address references that are out of bounds "roll over." This means if one of these computers tries to access one byte beyond the total bytes in RAM, it actually accesses the first byte in memory. If you see this error on a Macintosh Plus or SE, it's reporting the wrong error or experiencing hardware failure.

ID=02 Address Error
The Motorola 68000 microprocessor can access memory in increments of one byte (8 bits), one word (16 bits), or one long word (32 bits). The microprocessor can access a byte of information at an odd or even memory address. But it must access a word or long word at an even memory address. So, when the microprocessor attempts to read or write a word or long word at an odd address, you see this error. Since that's a 50/50 proposition when running random code, this one shows up quite often.
