Author	Topic: BoE Scenario Editor Error?
SYNTAX_ERROR Apprentice Member # 2124	written Wednesday, May 16 2007 19:32 Profile Homepage #0 Every time I try to open a custom scenario of mine, a prompt appears that says: "BLADES caused a General Protection Fault in module BLSCENED.EXE at 0003:848F. Choose close. Blades will close." I don't know what went wrong. The last thing I did, I was typing some dialog for a character. Then I save. A few seconds passed after I saved, and I was about to load another town when that prompt interrupted me and crashed the program. Everytime I try to load my scenario, it crashes again. Please tell me I didn't lose all of that hard work! ;_; What can I do to fix this? Posts: 17 \| Registered: Monday, October 21 2002 07:00

It is rare, but indeed possible if things don't get written properly. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

I do not know what I could have possibly done in a dialog screen to mess anything up. It's like typing in MS Notepad, and then Windows crashes and the comp. explodes. >_> Posts: 17 \| Registered: Monday, October 21 2002 07:00

Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Thursday, May 17 2007 13:10 Profile Homepage #5 I have windows, not that it matters. And I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it crashed on me as well. I'd say it's pretty much ruined. Edit: Oddly enough, I can enter the scenario using hte BoE app without problems. Maybe something can be salvaged from it somehow-- at least you can get your old texts. [ Thursday, May 17, 2007 13:12: Message edited by: Lazarus. ] -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind.

Ishad Nha Shock Trooper Member # 7662	written Thursday, May 17 2007 23:53 Profile #6 Is it only the custom scenario that crashes the BoE Editor or is it any file at all? (Presumably if the scenario crashed on someone else’s computer then it is not just Syntax Error’s copy of Blscened.exe that is at fault.) You could see if the fault is in a particular town by the following method: create a new scenario with the same outdoors dimensions and town sizes, then import the towns from the old scenario to the new, which can only be done one at a time. If the new scenario never crashes even after you have imported all the towns, the fault may be elsewhere in the exs file. You could look at the file in the MS Dos Edit command and see if anything was wrong with the dialog concerned, like more than the allowed number of characters. Now if the scenario is basically sound, if it has not been corrupted by a virus, a lot of it can be recovered for re – use. If worst comes to worst: text recovery for scenario text, town text, dialog text and outdoor text can be done this way. The scenario can be opened in Microsoft Word by choosing “Recover Text from Any File(.)” in the “Files of type: ” field. This will enable a lot of the text to be recovered and then pasted into the relevant parts of the new scenario, by using the Editor dialog boxes. (Here I am guessing that the error is found in the town part of the scenario.) If you can pinpoint exactly where the error occurred and if you can’t fix it: skillful use of the MS Dos Edit command may enable you to copy everything that occurs before the error from the old scenario to the new in one hit. For the format is that first in the file comes the scenario part, then the listings for each outdoor section then finally the listings for each town. (Edit, wretched password may foul this totally, as I understand it: its bits are found all through the exs file!) If you make a new scenario with exactly the same number of outdoor sections and the same number of towns, each of the same size, check if the towns all start on the same lines. You can send me a copy at the address listed in my profile. [ Friday, May 18, 2007 16:45: Message edited by: Ishad Nha ] Posts: 292 \| Registered: Monday, November 13 2006 08:00
SYNTAX_ERROR Apprentice Member # 2124	written Tuesday, May 29 2007 22:02 Profile Homepage #7 Well you guys, thank you for all of your help... I gave it my best shot, but I am going to have to just redo this entirely from scratch. I think it did corrupt from nothing, to tell you the truth. ARGGH!! bang head against wall :mad: I've had to open the corrupt scenario as a notepad file to salvage some of the text... this time, I am going to copy and paste a back up file! >_> Posts: 17 \| Registered: Monday, October 21 2002 07:00*
Ishad Nha Shock Trooper Member # 7662	written Friday, June 1 2007 00:12 Profile #8 How corrupt is corrupt? Can you import any towns out of this thing at all? (If it is a virus have any other files been infected? Some times you can get a virus cleaned out of a file, this may leave something useful.) Posts: 292 \| Registered: Monday, November 13 2006 08:00
Andrea Babelicious Member # 39	written Friday, June 1 2007 22:35 Profile Homepage #9 I'm currently working on parsing out the BoE scenario format. If you email me your scenario, I could see if it's salvageable and fix it if possible. -------------------- Pygmalion \| Desperance \| Djur Posts: 1074 \| Registered: Wednesday, October 3 2001 07:00
