Error... R_InstallSpriteLump

[Mystic Shadow]

Hi.
I'm actually trying to make my first character wad. But when I want to test it, it say:

I've tried lots of things that was on the Messageboard, but it still not working. So help me please. :(

 

[Fawfulfan]

Do you have a SUPERICO frame? Get rid of it if so; it won't have any effect, and it could cause problems of the nature you have.

 

[Chibs]

This has happened quite often before, search "EMERA0" with the search engine, you're sure to find some results there.

 

[Mystic Shadow]

I don't have any "EMERA0" in my character wad (I've searched about and tried to edit the OBJCTCFG but still don't work.) and I don't have SUPERICO for my char.

 

[Monster Iestyn]

Don't try looking for "EMERA0". It's not on about that.

Are you missing any sprites? Well, add some to use as placeholders until you make the proper versions of those sprites, since you can't test your character if it's missing sprites.

 

[Mystic Shadow]

I've got the 170 sprites for my character (Only one maked, the 169 others are None Sonic).

 

[Hunter_Orion]

Aw, man. That problem. Here's some of the things that I did when I ran across that with Tikal

1) Make sure every lump is named properly
2) Be sure that the names of the lumps have all the same first four letters.

If that's not the problem, you might just need to redo some of the entries.

It also probably wouldn't hurt to check all your S_SKIN and OBJCTCFG specs as well.

 

[Mystic Shadow]

Meh, I did to shoot down this error but now I've got Sigsev when the skin load on the map -_-

 

[Hunter_Orion]

Well, other than that I"m not too sure...

Might just have a few sprites that need redone as I said before.

 

[Torgo]

I don't remember what the cause of the problem is, but I think it has to do with the S_SKIN and OBJCTCFG (I think its called that). They have to be placed in a certain order.

If that isn't the problem, try seeing if there isn't any conflicts inside the lumps. Recheck the names of the picture, and character name or whatever else is in them. Make sure you have the XWE with lowercase lump support, if you don't have it then get it off the wiki page.

If all else fails, try comparing your character WAD with one that you know that works, like metalsonic or something.

I have the same problem to!

 

[Fawfulfan]

Yeah, it's a common problem. And, unfortunately, there are lots of things that can cause it.

 

[Torgo]

Try checking the S_SKIN and OBJCTCFG lumps to see if there are any typos.

I find how to shoot down all the errors:

1. Put the Face name first. Then the Face, and then the character picture (in Character Select).

2. Then, put the OBJCTCFG.

3. Put the S_SKIN

4. Put the 170 frames.

5. If you have a Super Form Music, put it after the frames.

If the error still appears, send me the wad.

 

[I'll Begin]

Let the EMERA0 master handle this.

First, make sure your lumps are arranged correctly. Icons come first, then S_SKIN, then OBJCTCFG, then your sprites, then anyything else.

Second, make sure there are no blank values and typos in your S_SKIN and OBJCTCFG lumps.

If you're still having issues, send me the wad. I'll take a good look at it.

 

[Scarbo the Black Sheep]

Could you add this to our Troubleshooting section of the Wiki, please? You know better than I with this kinda stuff.

 

[Torgo]

Except, that is incorrect. You have to have S_SKIN after the OBJCTCFG lump. Everything else is pretty much correct. I added the arrangement stuff on the FAQ, thanks.

 

[DeltaPhoenix]

Another cause could be that if you used "load" to get your sprites into your wad it could happen. To be sure, save all your sprites in a single folder and then make the lumps manually and use "replace" (if you use XWE) If not, i can't help you...
