Blades of Avernum Editor

Odile von Rothborne Warrior Member # 3289	written Sunday, December 12 2004 09:09 Profile Homepage #0 Wonder if anyone could tell me what I'm doing wrong. When I use the editor and open a saved scenario an error box comes up telling me that Blades of Aveernum has encountered a problem and needs to close. This is happening everytime I try and use it. I've downloaded another editor and started again but it keeps happening. Any advice or help would be great. I'm on Windows if that helps. Thanks in advance. -------------------- My head is longer my own - I am furious. When will my torment end?... If anybody is frustrated or unhappy in this lycee, it is me!

If so, it would be helpful to know the exact text of the error message. Also, are you opening the .bas file in the scenario folders? That's the one that you need to select (so in Valley of the Dying Things, you want to open valleydy.bas in the editor).

Odile von Rothborne Warrior Member # 3289	written Sunday, December 12 2004 10:39 Profile Homepage #2 The first thing that comes up is :- Blades of Avernum was unable to find or load graphic 2000. Make sure the editor is in the Data folder of Blades of Avernum (and not in a sub-folder). Also, make sure all graphics are where they should be. Then it comes up as:- Error!The Editor was unable to find and load the file warriorsgrove.bas. Then I open a saved file which comes up as:- Unhandles Exception: c0000005 At Address: 0042fd60 Does this make any sense to you? It doesn't to me... -------------------- My head is longer my own - I am furious. When will my torment end?... If anybody is frustrated or unhappy in this lycee, it is me!

I do apologise for this. [ Monday, December 13, 2004 01:58: Message edited by: Odile von Rothborne ] -------------------- My head is longer my own - I am furious. When will my torment end?...

Odile, you said in your first post: 'when I use the editor'. Well, in order to use the editor, you have to click on the editor.exe, so you seem to know where that is. The editor.exe = the editor application Move the editor.exe into the Data folder. You find the Data folder by opening your Blades of Avernum folder. -------------------- Polaris Rache's A3 Site reformatted 2/3 done Rache's A3 Site, original version Posts: 1828 | Registered: Saturday, January 11 2003 08:00
