A mod I made works fine on my computer, but when I send it to others they say it exceptions at the start. I do not know what to do.
This is the map file: http://www.mediafire.com/?38rot1x3lqrburn
Feel free do anything with it, but the hunters are from CMT, and the spartans are from ai snowgrove.

Edit: Updated link.

If it's a mod, that's why.
They need a copy.

How would I go about doing that?

Simply send them a copy of the same version of the map you have.

Please examine the OP. The map is an ai mod, and I sent it to a friend. The friend says it exceptions when he starts it.
Edited by game user10 on Jun 4, 2012 at 07:12 AM

Is it a single player map or a multiplayer map? Make sure he's starting the map the same way as you, e.g. singleplayer map uses console "map_name ' '" command and multiplayer map is started through the map list in halo ce.

Multiplayer.

Exceptions for me too, and halo doesn't write to debug.txt. Could you post your debug.txt, or if you dont want it public, PM it to me.

Also, what version of halo are you running?

Version 1.09, original Strings.dll but a modified main menu ui (Halo Custom Edition Plus or something)

I'm pretty sure none of those are huge problems.

^^ Could be issue but probably isnt.

Update Halo to .9

UI will not change map creation, so that is not the problem.

where is the rest of the error log?

things like this:

EAX: 0xFFEBC07E
EBX: 0x00012401
ECX: 0xFFFFFFFF
EDX: 0x0000061B
EDI: 0x0013F300
ESI: 0x00000000
EBP: 0x0013F1D8
ESP: 0x0013F1C8
they are just examples of what you should have at the bottom of the error log.

PLEASE EXAMINE THE OP. It does not exception for me, but for other users. I have the latest version of Halo.
Edited by game user10 on Jun 6, 2012 at 09:25 AM

*sigh*
Update halo! Run haloupdate.exe regardless of what version you think you have. Post what it outputs.

USING CAPS just makes you look look immature.

Can you post the ENTIRE debug.txt ?

I did run haloupdate, and I did post the entire debug.

The entire file please.
That is DEFINITELY not the whole file.

This is all else that is left:

Hmm. Can you attach it? Maybe the forum isnt posting all of it

Okay this is everything in the debug.txt related to the map.

We need the ENTIRE file. Not just the things related to this map.

There is nothing else.

Edit: Maybe rip the map and see what's wrong.
Edited by game user10 on Jun 6, 2012 at 10:04 AM

running around the map there, i get exception as soon as i go to enter the teles from both bases, if i go the long ways to the top of the map it still execptions, check triggers?
also very laggy map.

you have the map protected, but i guess you must have already known that.
so we can't extract from the map to check the .scenario for you.

goodluck.
Edited by ally on Jun 6, 2012 at 10:46 AM

Could you PM me with the map scenario and files?
I'll look through and see if I spot anything.



Hmm. I cant even open the map, it exceptions on load.

If the OP pm's me the files, I can check the .scenario.
Edited by haloextreme117 on Jun 6, 2012 at 10:51 AM

Map's not protected...
Uploading newer version now.
Edited by game user10 on Jun 6, 2012 at 10:59 AM

downloaded and tried hek+ (no map loaded).
downloaded E.L then into hek+ still (no map loaded).
downloaded Halo_Tag_Converter_Public_Release.
this will work but all tags need to be extracted 1 at a time. that's a lot of extracting when you already have the .scenario anyway man.
Edited by ally on Jun 6, 2012 at 11:09 AM

Im getting the same.
Definitely a protected map.

That's messed up, my HEK+ says map is not protected.
Here is a new version, should be less laggy too:
http://www.mediafire.com/?38rot1x3lqrburn

No, no no.
Dont upload to mediafire. Use This
Mediafire is laggy, and unreliable.

that's a new version of hek?

because i'm sitting here poking my version of hek and it won't utter a word :)

Mediafire doesn't delete files in a time period. In the future I'll use that....
Edit: @ally: No no new version of the map.
Edited by game user10 on Jun 6, 2012 at 11:44 AM

you have 9 vehicles added, and in the starting equipment the game type is only set to ctf, seeing you have flags added for all games types
should this not be set to all games?

I did not edit any of that...

i have no idea then sorry....

This map also exceptions for other peeps. check: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?qqdr15o7glwtik7

no exceptions for me, had a quick blast at it, was good fun actually.

What's wrong with my deathisland mod? Is it bcos the CMT Hunters are there?
