Title: Editor run crash
Post by: cojobe on January 02, 2014, 04:37:22 AM

I have made a level, and when I go into tools>run or even run from camera, it crashes tells me that it has crashed and to send file to an email. I have tried moving my whole hammerwatch folder to desktop, program files, and even program filesx86 and I still come up with the same issue every time.
Thanks for any help given! :)

You are probably missing some xmls you need, did you look at this one?

It appears i also am missing the example folder, info.xml, levels.xml, icon.png.

I used steam to verify game cache and its saying its all fine but the folders and files are still missing.

I, too, am having this problem. Crash on testing, no example folder, etc.

So, inside:
Steam\SteamApps\common\Hammerwatch

there's no

\editor\example

?

Okay, I figured it out by browsing about. You need to make a new folder for your map, name your map when you save it as level_mapname, and make to XML files:
info.xml:

Code: [Select]

<info>
<name>Script test level</name>
<description></description>
<lives>10</lives>
</info>
and

levels.xml:

Code: [Select]

<levels start="1">
<act name="lvl.act1">
<level id="1" res="test_puzzle.xml" name="Puzzle test" />
</act>
</levels>

Yea, here's the files from the survival level.

It's strange that I don't have the example folders anymore myself though...

They've gone completely or just from the steam version? because I left a back up of hammer watch on my desktop and still have them ( I'm sure a few of us do).
