I want to kill Doombuilder

[Kaysakado]

I'm using SRB2 DoomBuilder, and it has so many glitches! It won't load srb2.srb as the graphics wad! It won't let me open a wad if I edit/make the wad in doombuilder, and using certain functions corrupts the file and I have to start all over! Does anyone know how to fix this?

Fist off You can't kill it. It's non-living :P . Second I can't help as I have not encountered this.

 

[Kaysakado]

I know I can't kill it. That's why it's so frustrating-- I can't take my anger out on it.

Ok, do you know what all the menu options mean?

 

[Kaysakado]

Yes.

 

[BlueZero4]

Like configuration and all that?

 

[Kaysakado]

I did read the tutorial. I know what all of the options do, but if I use one, even if I undo the change, it won't let me save anymore. Next time I get the error I'll post it.

EDIT: The error is: "Error 5 while saving map: Invalid procedure call or argument"

 

[BlazingPhoenix]

Why do you keep calling it 'doom'? He's talking about the level editor, not the game, get it right. >_>

 

[Kaysakado]

I've tried reinstalling it about three times.

SRB2.SRB shouldn't be used as the graphics wad, it should be set as the IWAD. This might also fix the saving problem, but probably not. Did you notice that stage the pop-up status window was at when the error occurred (e.g. "Building WAD file resources" or "Compressing sidedefs")? That would help me to work out what's going on.

I think SRB2DB or DBSRB2 is a more well-known acronym.

It crashes when I try to set the IWAD. However, if I load srb2.srb as a map into Doombuilder, then the graphics work until I switch to a different file.

What message do you get when it crashes? As a workaround, you can set the IWAD manually in the config file, but it'd be helful if I could work out what's going wrong, so as to fix it.

Well you read the tutorial, but did you do what it said to do?

 

[Kaysakado]

Yes, but anyway it turned that the problem was that I was using it on Windows Vista, when I tried it on XP, it works fine, so yay! Strange how XP is better than Vista.

Actually I prefer my Windows 98 to my XP.

 

[sonicfreak94]

I like windows 2000 and ME(though, there really the same).

 

[ST218]

Yeah, I don't have Vista, and I haven't updated that tutorial in ages anyway <_<

 

[glaber]

All the better reason not to update to vista yet.

 

[XsoniccoreX (814)]

soooo...yeah I got the same error on my vista, are there any updates or patches out there to make it compatible? Honestly I love vista other than the compatibility problems which up until now were easy fixes....
