SSME Problem

[⛊ Drake7707]

Hi,

 

i used SSME before and it always worked fine, until this afternoon. Now i always get an error report when im trying to start ssme.

 

I think one of the 2 things happened:

 

- When i closed ssme, my whole pc crashed, just froze up, i couldn't do anything so i pressed the reset button :/

 

- I tried opening a corrupt lvl file ( i downloaded it from ftp and and it was still incomplete >.<")

 

So i thought ssme had a corrupt setting or so, so i deleted all ssme entrys (that i could find) in the registry. I also redownloaded ssme v0.81 but i still get the error.

 

Does anyone know how to fix it, so i can work with ssme again ?

 

Thanks

use !@#$%^&* instead

Or if you want to use SSME, tell us the error! If it's a Windows error dialog, say so.

Do you need more info ?

 

I start ssme.exe, few seconds later i get this error report

[★ SOS]

Well, looks like some plain old internal bug in SSME. No idea how to fix it short of a format, so... yeah, !@#$%^&* is the best option here.

[⛊ Drake7707]

but ssme _worked_ until it crashed my pc on close once, then afterwards it doesn't want to start anymore, i think there's some bad registry entry for ssme or so.

 

So if you know which registry keys ssme writes, or config files, i can delete it, and maybe it will work again

 

Now that ssme doesn't work, i'm making my own map editor in vb . It will be more like a ssme clone, but with more features such as fill and such

[★ Maverick]

nice, people would need that

 

Try deleting the old SSME and installing it to a different directory. I believe this error isn't caused by the registry, more by different VB dll's and archives. I don't know how to fix that though.

[★ SOS]

SSME does not use any registry keys (except the file extension ones).

It uses the following DLLs (try to update, I guess): comctl32.dll, IMM32.DLL, LPK.DLL, USP10.dll, MSCTF.dll, imm32.dll, Msimtf.dll

 

A thought: maybe ssme.ini in c:\windows is corrupted?

 

By the way, !@#$%^&* already is a well-working map editor, why waste time on another one?

[★ Maverick]

SSME registers .lvl filetypes to open in SSME - thats registry allright

[★ SOS]

What I said

[★ Maverick]

meh

[⛊ Drake7707]

i never had any ssme.ini o_O"

 

And im making my own, because i love programming and learning how to make stuff (to see if i can do it, ahhh the satisfaction is rewarding )

 

Edit: it can load maps now, but not yet saving because i dont know how to save 256bitmap pictures in vb to a byte array, and some of the basic features, pencil, magnifier (from 1:4 to 2:1) and dropper.

 

Edit2: here is the first build of my pre-alpha version of DCME (Drake Continuum Map Editor, ... not very original eh?!) It doesnt support saving, or importing tilesets or special tiles like warpholes or rocks, but it's a start . I also need to polish the gui a bit (different mouse cursors, toolbars ,...)

 

Edit3: possible bugs == very likely, although it only reads from an lvl file, back it up just in case :/

DCME.zip

[🜲 Samapico]

If you make a SSME clone that supports the extra-tiles, I will use it

 

!@#$%^&* sure is a wellworking editor... BUT GOD!@#$%^&*IT it's slow as my grandma on pills. stupid java...

[★ Purge]

Then you'll be happy that this isn't in Java.

[🜲 Samapico]

That's the only reason why I'd use it

[⛊ Drake7707]

well first off i'll try to implement all the features of ssme, once that is stable, ill add some more features
