Inconsistent problem with certain maps crashing

[mac402]

Hello good people. I was wondering does anyone had a problem with map crashing the game just after the mission loads? The situation is identical to what has been described in this archived post. Strangely though the solution (the name of the map folder was too long) doesn't work for other maps I'm having problems with. To be precise there are some maps for FF2 like:
ds_rockies
ds_kaliklak2
ds_medieval_village

and some maps converted from FF1 like:
ds_midway_city
ds_moonbase_alpha_ext
ds_original_enterprise
ds_sewer_tunnels

that will work correctly when viewed in FFEdit, they will work correctly when used in an easy script mission, but will crash at the beggining of the mission in any non-EZScripted rumble room mode. Sometimes (rarely) these maps will not crash at the beggining and can be played without any error. The script.log and FF.log don't show any error message during the crash, it's like the game just quits. Can anyone hint the problem? Is it the script that cannot find something on the map or spawns something at the wrong place? The maps do have  all the proper markers for skirmish mode.

Here is the Script.log from an example of crash:

Appreciate any help guys.

Hopefully someone more up to date with the game has the solution. Still, the last lines of both files make it seems to be related to the MapInfo() function. One way to pinpoint more precisely the bug would be to edit the script files (back up first!).

Open ffx3\missions\scripts\skXMapInfo.py in a plain text editor such as Notepad and find the line def GetMapInfo (tevent = ""):. Add a print line after the function calls inside it, i.e. the existing

def GetMapInfo (tevent = ""):
global gbGetMapInfoIsInitialised
try: mbTest = gbGetMapInfoIsInitialised
except:
gbGetMapInfoIsInitialised = 1
if len (Mission_GetObjects ()):
print "!","GetMapInfo"
#map info
global gbMapInfoIsLooping
global gaMapInfoObjectsToCheck
gbMapInfoIsLooping = 0
gaMapInfoObjectsToCheck = []
ff.MapInfo = {}

It's crude, but it should give us a clearer picture in script.log.

Also when I misspelled something and the script broke the map was not crashing after load.

Maybe it's not the GetMapInfo after all   

Update:

OK, I definitely know where the crash happens (not that I know why though). This part of code in ffx.py file when removed makes said maps work:

Code Select Expand


    #a couple of tiggots
    if Object_Exists('ffxtarget')==0:
        cshelper.spawn('ffxtarget','ffx_tiggot',(-6010,10,0))
    if Object_Exists('ffxgun')==0:
        cshelper.spawn('ffxgun','ffx_tiggot',(-6010,0,0))


Hmmm...

[Epimethee]

Interesting...

Does a specific tiggot cause the crash? i.e. commenting out each alternatively:

Code Select Expand

    #a couple of tiggots
    if Object_Exists('ffxtarget')==0:
        #cshelper.spawn('ffxtarget','ffx_tiggot',(-6010,10,0))
        print "DEBUG not spawning FFX Target"
    if Object_Exists('ffxgun')==0:
        cshelper.spawn('ffxgun','ffx_tiggot',(-6010,0,0))
        print "DEBUG spawned FFX Gun"

and vice versa.

Also, you might try to change their spawning position. I don't know why it was set specifically at x=-6010. You could replace (-6010,0,0) by (0,0,0) and see how it goes.

Both spawn commands cause the crash but changing the spawning position to 0,0,0 helps. I see there is a reference to ffxgun and ffxtarget in the code that presumably identifies and stores the power id's for built-in characters:

Code Select Expand


####### stores pre-cached power IDs for powers ########

def generatePowerIDs():
    ffxpowerids.powerIDs=[]
    powers=datfiles.Campaign_ReadPowers()
    i=0
    for power in powers.keys():
        pdata=powers[power]
        if pdata['PowerType'] == PT_MELEE or pdata['PowerType'] == PT_RANGED:
            ffxpowerids.powerIDs.append([power,i,0])
            powerTest(power,i)
            i=i+1
    RegTimer('powerfin',10)

def powerfin(event):
    Mission_StatusText('writing powerIDs to file')
    print ffxpowerids.powerIDs
    ###! 2006-05-06 Ep: write to the current mod's ffxpowerid.py's rather than the hardcoded ffx3 one
    modfolder = sysutils.getModFolder()
    print "POWER ID Generator powerfin() will write to '%s/ffxpowerids.py' folder" % modfolder
    file=open("%s/missions/scripts/ffxpowerids.py" % modfolder,"w")
    file.write('powerIDs=[\n')
    for set in ffxpowerids.powerIDs:
        file.write(`set`+',\n')
    file.write(']\n')
    file.close()
    RegTimer('EndLevel',3)

def EndLevel(event):
    Mission_Win()

def powerTest(powerName,i):
    y=30+FFX_ObjectGetAttr('gun','y',6000)
    FFX_ObjectSetAttr('gun','y',y)
    gun='ffxgun'
    target='ffxtarget'
    Trigger_Power(gun,target,powerName,'OnPowerTest2',0,Get_ObjectPos(target),i)
    js.AI_NullController(gun)

def OnPowerTest2(event):
    for set in ffxpowerids.powerIDs:
        if set[1]==event.user:
            set[2]=event.float


I will see whether changing the value -6010 messes this, but it intrigues me why only a handful of maps were crashing. Thank you for responding Epimethee and for your original contribution to creating FFX code in the first place  .

[Epimethee]

Thanks for the kind words, Mac402!

If changing the position perchance happens to work, could it maaaaaybe be caused by an object or some geometry on this area of the maps?

[mac402]

Hmmm... I've tried to spawn the ffxgun and ffxtrigger in FFEdit and it spawns way beyond the map so there seems to be no object or terrain that could interfere. Interrestingly adding these tiggots to the map does not prevent the script from trying to spawn them (I was hoping that adding them manually to the maps will help without having to alter the spawn coordinates in the ffx code). Honestly I'm really confused why it only affects a handful of maps. I still haven't check if powers id script will work now but I hope it will.
