seems it never crashes when I open the supplied tileset first before opening my quest, I've don't it this way quite a few times and don't think it has crashed once that way, but it will often crash going straight to my quest without doing that.

I'm not so sure about the color related 8 bit thing, this is a pretty new set with few tiles, and I'm not even sure any of them are set to 256 color yet.

[ShadowTiger]

Any crash I receive these days tends to occur when I'm doing something in the Tiles or Combo pages. After the crash, I would start it up again, and doing the same thing doesn't crash it, so I'm not really sure how to reproduce this. My apologies. It's nothing specific that we're doing.

I do use the Launcher, in Large mode.

[Saffith]

Anything interesting in allegro.log after it crashes?

[Freedom]

not that I can see, I can reproduce it almost every time.

Looks like the infamous window mode crashes from RC2.5 are back!

In ag.cfg, set zc_win_proc_fix to 0.

I'm having the same issue, and that fix didn't help. It will run, but any time I try to access the menu to change controls, it crashes unless I'm running full screen mode. Windows 7 64-bit, Aero.

[Rambly]

I'm having the same issue, and that fix didn't help. It will run, but any time I try to access the menu to change controls, it crashes unless I'm running full screen mode. Windows 7 64-bit, Aero.

I'll reiterate my earlier post in the thread, since it seems to be something that people commonly overlook:

Doublecheck that you're setting zc_win_proc_fix=0 and not zq_win_proc_fix=0.
zc_win_proc_fix isn't in the ag.cfg file by default, so you have to add it (and it should go somewhere under the [zeldadx] heading).

It's something I missed at first, anyway. Doesn't help that zq_win_proc_fix is an entry that's in the ag.cfg by default, but zc isn't.

[Saffith]

Well, this is quite frustrating. I really thought we were done with all this...


Since I've got almost nothing to go on, I put together another debug build. It would be much appreciated if any of you seeing crashes (excluding those fixed by setting zc/zq_win_proc_fix=0) would try it out. I can't guarantee it'll help, or even work, but I don't have any better ideas right now.

http://www.mediafire...k1u4cammellzkqr

Don't run zelda-w.exe and zquest-w.exe; use zc.bat and zquest.bat instead. The included launcher's fine, too (but not the regular release version). Assuming it works, let me see gdb.log when it crashes. If all goes well, that should identify exactly where it's crashing.

[Artistic]

Thank you Saffith for the fix. Will try it out and let you know.

[kurt91]

Unrelated issue, not sure if it's a bug or a feature.

I built my Main palette, with everything relying heavily on 8-bit mode. Now, I'm trying to build a dungeon, using the Level 1 palette. I already know that C-Sets 0 and 1 of my Overworld palette will also work in my dungeon palette. Unfortunately, colors 6 and 7 of C-Set 0 are disappearing on me.

They appear in the overworld palette, but disappear into black in my dungeon palette. Is this a bug, or a palette restriction I possibly overlooked? Either way, is it safe to re-insert the correct colors in my dungeon palette in the same location? I'm also using those spots for my subscreen, and I'm afraid that by leaving it alone, I'm going to screw up my item graphics.

[Saffith]

That's a new one. Does this happen in other tilesets? If it's just your quest that's doing that, could I take a look at it?

[Freedom]

what am I supposed to expect with this?
It brought a windowed zquest screen up with the might corrupt your quest warning but then just sat there and did nothing and allowed me to do nothing.
I had to close it in the task manager.

here is the log

[Saffith]

Could you try it one more time? There's a setting in ag.cfg that ought to fix that, but it seems it doesn't always work on the first try in this build.

[Freedom]

I can't get this one to crash.
I've run it 8 times and it works every time.
I go back into my other folder and run that original one and it crashes every time.

Don't know Saffith....
I've run it about 20 times, it just won't crash in this one.
I even ran it with the zquest.exe to see if it would that way, no luck

I go back to my personal version and I can get it to crash every time.

[Saffith]

Shoot, I was afraid of that. Different memory layout, no visible problem.
Well, thanks for trying it out. I'll keep looking.

[Gleeok]

Can this be narrowed down to something more specific? For instance input maybe, right-click, left click, scroll wheel, full moon, new moon, backwards pants, etc..?

This might at least help isolate a specific function call that's causing it.
