crippled openborlog?

[mcgrnwlf79]

hey everyone, been away for some time since my last post. Since last time I've been using the most recent neo edit pack to focus on getting functioning characters into the game.
I've managed to test 3 characters since last time and they all seem to be working fine. However I recently finished a 4th character (makoto) and tried to place her in. For some reason the game crashes and when I check the log there's nothing there, or rather it stops just short of where it would normally tell me what's missing or wrong. The strange thing is no matter what I try this only persists with this character. When I take her out everything is fine but once i put her in even if it's just her it refuses to work. Any ideas on why this might be happening?

I'm not an expert but I have noticed that when the error is not recorded in the log it's bc the system actually crashed (as opposed as finding something it cannot work with). It usually happens with custom stuff that are not originally part of the program, i.e. scripts. Maybe that 4th char is pointing to an animationscript that is not there, or something similar. Take a look at the script log.

Unless someone else has released an updated version without my knowledge, the "most recent" Neo Edit Pack is from 2010.  You've at least upgraded the OpenBOR executable to a newer version, right?

This is what happens when pre-2015 versions of the engine crash.  There could be other causes, but a crash is the most likely.  If you're using an engine version that's more than a year old, you should try a newer version and see if that helps.  Otherwise, upload your character so we can see what's up.

I was unaware of that i'll check it out. I haven't added any scripts though. at least not yet. For future refference though, where do I upload a character for these kinds of problems? The attach function here says it only takes gifs, jpg, and pngs

You can use Dropbox or Mediafire to put a zip of your characters.

And there was no other Neo Edit Pack other than DCs. I didn't even touch my take on it nor uploaded it so far. (I think it's still in my Mediafire account, I don't know.)
