Run Time Error and Crash (FIXED)

[ZZjZmoz]

I was trying to save one of the rooms I edited, and I get

0xC0000005  AGSEDIT.EXE
EIP = 0x00493FB0
ACI version 2.71.631

during room save.

Then the whole program just crashes. How can I fix this?

[Gilbert]

Could you remember what you did to the room (like adding some scripts, importing backgrounds, etc.) before the crash?

[ZZjZmoz]

I actually hadn't edited the game since the version right before this one. Last time, the game would edit and save fine. However, when I transitioned into v2.71, I came up with a few small errors in my scripts (i.e. can't use some variable names, more ';', etc.), but when I accessed a particular room (I think it was '13' or '14' or something like that), the whole thing just wigged out on me and I wound up with the previous error.

[Pumaman]

So does it happen every time you try to save this particular room?

If so, could you upload the room file for us to take a look at?

[ZZjZmoz]

It happens every time I save. Not sure if i can upload the room file, but I'll see if I can and get a link back. The really odd thing is that the game was working just fine prior to AGS v2.71.

I hope it works. It doesn't appear to be on my end. 

[Gilbert]

I got a "file not found" error.

[ZZjZmoz]

Yea. it's pointing to the right place but not working right.

[Pumaman]

Failing that, if you try commenting out the entire room script (add  /*  to the first line, and  */  to the end of the last line), does it save successfully?

If so, can you post the room script here?

Here's the room script for room16

It's probably this line causing the error:

if (){}

An empty bracketed expression like that can cause the script compiler to crash in 2.71. It will be fixed in the next version, but for now just comment that line out and it'll probably fix it.

Edit by strazer:

Fixed in AGS v2.72 Beta 5.
