Assert error when creating new scripts in OP
« on: April 27, 2004, 07:47:21 am »
I can compile existing missions just fine, but I get an assert error when creating a new script with the create script addin dll. I'm using FireSoul's SFC2_Script_API.dsw file, this is the file that wasn't included in the OP API (but is with EAW).

I remember hearing someone else have a similar problem before. Thoughts anyone?

Welp, that didn't take long to find.

Read through this thread all the way to the end. I have what seems to be a dialog with myself, but through it I seem to explain the problem and also reveals what a rookie I am at this still.

It's not the dsw file that is the problem.

here is a copy of the post I was trying to direct you to:

Here's an observation: I hope my assumptions hold up.

It would seem that after setting up the new script (sec 3.0 of Dave's guide) you should do a build before moving on to section 12. Otherwise ScriptInterface.h and other extenal dependancies will not be available and you'll get errors when you do a build as directed in section 12.1.1 .

Welp, into the breach once more.


I hope that leads to a resolution of your difficulties.

Jerry

The problem is that the assert error occur whilst trying to setup the new script, no files are being created so I have nothing to build.

You're gonna have to give me a day or two before I'll have time to recreate the problem so that I can work through the error and better explain the solution. Sorry I can't be any help sooner.

The thing is, it was working fine. The only thing I've done since setting up the API was install Borland C++ Builder.

When I click on the Creat Script button, this is the error message that appears:

Quote:


Microsoft Visual C++ Debug Library

Debug Assertion Failed

Program: MSDEV.EXE
File: fopen.c
Line: 54

Expression: *file != _T("\0")

For information on how your program can cause an assertion failure, see the Visual C++ documentation on asserts.

(Press retry to debug the application)

(Abort) (Retry) (Ignore)




If I click on Abort, I then get a fatal error

Quote:


MSDEV.EXE - Application Error

The instruction at "0x73dd1351" referenced memory at "0x00000004". The memory could not be "read".

Click on OK to terminate the program.




After doing so, I then get another error message which repeats itself about 5 times saying a problem has been encountered with Microsoft Developer Studio and needs to close, please tell Microsoft about this problem etc etc.After that, VC++ shuts down.

I've already uninstalled and reinstalled VC++, no luck though.

Well, I'll be darned... I fixed it. How simple it was in the end, I had placed the Registry settings string in Taldren/Starfleet Command Orion Pirates instead of just Taldren. Curious that such a small thing could actually cause VC++ to crash fatally though.
Well, at least I know what happens now when the registry isn't edited properly. Thanks for the help, Jerry.

Oh thank goodness. I didn't cherish the thought of an all-nighter tearing things out to get it back to zero so I could then spend more night time oil poking around the API and VC++6sp5 trying to recreate the assert error.

I *thank you* for finding it first, Tracy.
