Amnesia Notes

[Gamer4Life]

I am currently crashing anytime I open my published games .exe file when I click on a Amnesia note. I have sandbox lua unselected like it was recommended and everything is attached properly. The notes work fine before i publish the game but after the game is published, opening the notes causes the game to crash. It flashes to fast for me to read what error is being produced. Has anyone heard this from anyone else or have any idea why this is crashing?

Run the game in debug mode and let us know what line of code it's crashing on.

[Gamer4Life]

The game does not crash in debug mode. Everything runs fine when run the game in leadwerks but after i publish the game as standalone the game crashes when I open the notes.

Find the exe folder. In an empty area of the window hold shift and right click. Click start command prompt her. Type your games exe name.

 

Also make sure your app/main.lua file is actually loading the right map. By default it's start.map

I think Brutile means set a breakpoint, but it's weird that it wouldn't crash in debug mode. I'm kind of confused. Is it crashing on startup or when you are in game reading a note? Those are two totally different things.

[Gamer4Life]

Okay cool that worked great. The Error that is being registered is 302 attempt to call local 'luaFile' (a nil value) when it is opening scripts/items/note.lua. I'm not sure why it is getting that error when it works fine in the none published version.

 

it crashes as soon as i click E on the note to open it

[nick.ace]

When you published, did you choose the option to automatically pack files (do you see a .zip file containing your items)? This may not work with your script if this is the case because your file is being dynamically loaded.

[Gamer4Life]

Correct, all the files seem to be loaded and in their proper location as in the game prepublished. I also did not see an option to manually move the files on publishing i only saw and option to move all files and to move only the files used.

[nick.ace]

Yeah deselect the option to only use the used files. That should solve this.

[Gamer4Life]

Already attempted it multiple times, it did not fix it sadly. I am not sure what else i could do lol. Something in between the game running in the engine and being published is messing up.

I'm currently having the same problem, I can run the game fine in the editor.

But if I publish it stand alone or game launcher it won't launch, the only fix I found (for me at least) was to copy over the "Materials" folder to the published game directory.

One hack is to add a commented-out line in any script that has the file name in it:

--"myfile.mat"

[Slastraf]

I had that issue ,too. Cannot confirm ay fix but just dont using it

[AggrorJorn]

It the same thing people are running in to using flowgui. I tried several things to get around this. One solution is to add the text files after publishing. This prevents crashing but requires manual steps. It also is not possible when you want to upload to the game launcher.

So what is the best solution to this?

mhh. thats odd. I am 99% sure i fixed that once. Seems that an old version is up on the steam workshop again. :/

 

sorry for the late response. Was and still am ill laying in the bed. :/

 

 

For the time being here is the current script. (the text.lua files need to look a bit different in this so the fix works. But there is an example text.lua file included)

Will see to upload that version again to the steam workshop.

 

//Edit: doesnt let me upload to steam workshop again. :/ i start to hate steam...

Does this work with tex files? Like:

--"mytex.tex"

[beo6]

it should work with any file as long as the .tex extension is included in the publishing dialogue.

Alright noted!
