Game crashes when I try to spawn people in the Arena
« on: July 13, 2014, 03:01:09 pm »

Whenever I spawn any civilized (or at least sapient) people in the arena, the game crashes.

Here's what pops up on the Error Log
Yeah, considering I had to wait 20 seconds for the forum to comprehend that I wanted the whole thing spoilered, I'm just going to use a tidbit from it.

If I need to post anything else to help, tell me.

Jesus, you've really screwed the pooch somewhere. From the looks of it, your civilized persons no longer have heads, limbs or anything even resembling a body. Have you been poking around the standard body plans? Duplicated something by accident?

Have you been poking around the standard body plans?

Yes, but mostly I've been copying and pasting things only to modify them to suit my purposes. Do you need me to copy and paste a file on here to find the source of the problem?

Edit: I checked the beginning of the body_default and the b_detail_plan_default files, and it isn't it's identifier (ex. [OBJECT:CREATURE]) being missing.

Toss up your body_default.txt on Pastebin and we'll start from there.

for the most part you don't really need to mess with the body plans unless you're making something very VERY specific what they do is only tell the game how things are arranged meat around bones and skin around meat, that sort of thing. You can still change the materials of each layer by using USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:TOKEN:TEMPLATE after the standard body detail plan.
Code: [Select]
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_MATERIALS]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:SKIN:METAL_TEMPLATE]

Well, that got us nowhere. About the only thing I can think of now is that your dwarves and elves and custom creatures are using some fancy custom body plan, tucked away in a separate file that's been named wrong. All body plan files must adhere to the format "body_xxyyzz.txt" to get recognized.

I haven't edited body_default or renamed it to my knowledge, and the only other body file I have is body_default_mega

Here's b_detail_plan_default if it helps.

Why do you have this line;

Code: [Select]
[BODY:HUMANOID_NECK:OPTICS:AUDIO:NECK_GYRO:GYRO:SPEECH:MOUTH:NECK:CPU:CORE:HUMANOID_JOINTS:5FINGERS:RIBCAGE:INTERNALS:FACIAL_FEATURES]
Try deleting that

That fixed the problem. Now I can spawn dwarves and the like. Thank you!

Now, why does it crash when I spawn Reploids...
