I guess everyone missed my helpful hint earlier... 😉
My helpful hint would be don't ever have two files covering the same texture. This is harder to ensure than it used to be, because you might have several files picked up for a single texture via the equiv-file facility.
I'll see if I can knock up a tool that looks at a texture pack and tells you when you have multiply covered textures.
Anyway, how many problems has that fixed? Are you still seeing the crashes?
Unfortunately I continue to face with the crash of Glidos.It seams that this thing is connected with tomb of T. level, because when I move this level it seams that crash don't happened.(Well, I started Glidos 20 times at least, and there is no notice of crash)
Give this version a try. It should crash in exactly the same way, but then display a window saying where it crashed.
I get this.
Brilliant. Thanks. That's in the area I thought it might be.
Here's a new version that should avoid the crash.
Not sure what's going on. Either you have a corrupted png amongst your textures, or Glidos is loading so many its running out of memory.
To avoid overuse of memory you should make sure each texture can be loaded in only one way. So you should not keep the old bmps in the same folder with the new pngs. In fact its best not to put captured bmps in the texture folders at all.
Also, if you have a set of levels where you included the same texture more than once (once for each level it appears in), or if you were using link files
to make the texture seem to appear in several levels, then you need to remove all but one of these when you swap over to the new method with equiv files. If you don't Glidos will load lots of copies of the texture unnecessarily.
Unfortunately, this exe file brings no god for me 😢 , but I think that my file with letters textures maybe caused this problem. It's difficult to say, but it seams that only this folder brings Glidos down.
Here it is, so maybe you or someone can check it.
Is it still crashing then? Does it display the same output?
Yes still, and same output. Would you check this letters?
Beautiful letters, by the way.
I put your letters in a folder called EFE6179F82CA4471725D4532BC8AA60D.
That seems to be the best match in my Capture collection, but now I need a save game to start from.
Hmmm, they seem to work ok for me.
Yes. I'm using your letters, and a equiv file generated from about the first seven levels, and they seem to work fine in all the levels.
Also that new version I posted shouldn't be able to crash at that point. Something must be going wrong earlier and corrupting memory.
Very difficult to trace this sort of thing.
Really, I could do with your entire Textures folder.
Did you try it with my equiv file?
Sorry. Confused now. What equiv file? All I could see was textures.
I be able to set up somewhere for you to upload your complete Textures folder. Then I can try exactly what you have there.
What?? 😳 I was posted this file because you want to check it.Are you forgot? Just go to the previous page of this post.
Ah yeah, sorry. I will try it. Unlikely to make a difference though.
I'm pretty shore that when I move letters file things work fine 😠
