illegal exception

Gijs · Tue 04/01/2005 00:25:12

I was testing my game and when I pressed one of my GUI buttons to go to another room I got an error:

An exception 0xC0000005 occured in ACWIN.EXE at EIP =
0x7C910F29 ; program pointer is +200, ACI version 2.62.772,
gtags(12,2)

AGS cannot continue, this exception was fatal. please note down
the number above, remember what you were doing at the time
and notify CJ on the Tech forum.

Normally it allways works when I press the button.

Have you tried Gilbot's suggestion from this thread?

Gijs · Tue 04/01/2005 00:49:10

I rebuild my room files but I still get the message.

strazer · Tue 04/01/2005 00:52:08

Can you please post the contents of your interface_click function?

Gijs · Tue 04/01/2005 00:58:00

here it is.

if (interface == GUI12) {
if (button == 0) {
NewRoom (7);

strazer · Tue 04/01/2005 01:07:19

Hm, I suppose you've omitted the closing braces for posting here?
In that case, I'm afraid I'm out of ideas.

Gijs · Tue 04/01/2005 01:13:46

that doesnt work either.
No! :'(

Well I did make a back up two days ago so it isn't that bad...I hope

strazer · Tue 04/01/2005 01:17:26

Just to clarify, your interface_click function looks like this, yes?

Code: ags

#sectionstart interface_click  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE
function interface_click(int interface, int button) {

  if (interface == GUI12) {
     if (button == 0) {
       NewRoom (7);
     }
  }

}
#sectionend interface_click  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE

Can you still load room 7 into the editor successfully?

Gijs · Tue 04/01/2005 19:08:18

Yes I can still load room 7 into the editor.

Pumaman · Tue 04/01/2005 19:24:19

Does this problem always happen when you click the button, or just sometimes?

Gijs · Tue 04/01/2005 19:27:12

Normally it allways worked untill yesterday now I allways get the error.

Pumaman · Tue 04/01/2005 19:40:47

Any chance you could upload the game so I can take a look?

Gijs · Tue 04/01/2005 19:54:38

Well I'm working on my own website but it isn't done yet.
So I'm currently looking for a place to upload.

Pumaman · Tue 04/01/2005 19:57:48

The other thing to try is grab a copy of 2.7 beta 9 from the beta thread, then make a backup copy of your game and try upgrading it to beta 9, and see if that fixes the problem. It's possible your bug is one that has already been fixed -- but as I say, make a backup copy of your game because upgrading to the beta will stop it working with 2.62.

Gijs · Tue 04/01/2005 20:20:37

Ok I'll try it out as soon as possible.
