CONFUSING-I NEED HELP

[kkskeshava]

SO i made a level on RF and each time it would work when i would test it out on RF but one time i tried it out and it all worked like, the charecter choosing then the name part works but when it loads the level it crases like nothing ever happeded... then i made a new level just for test sake and i just made another and made it a single small room with one player and it worked...but since that made no sence to me so i went to the actual program of RF and clicked new game and what was weird was that all the players i chose the same crash happeded except when i chose the robot and human which then howed a tutorial but i dont care about that as much as why my level wont work... it is really weird because i works untill it loads lever i will put some screen shots to show what happens

my level


if you know what the problem is but dont want to comment plz plzplz email me @ karankeshav@canada.com asap thx

[kkskeshava]

sry my pics didn't work so i will explain it
it starts off with my level
then i click build and it works
then it opens the program RF and lets you choose the charecter and the name... then it loads then shuts down...
if you need more info leave your email and i will send you the series of screenshots... of what happens... plz help if you can thx

Did you read the manual and ebook before using the software? These show the correct way to use the software. It seems as if you may be missing some entities in your level which are well documented in the manual. Post your RealityFactory.log file.

[kkskeshava]

what log file i downloaded this program on a site and used their tutorialso it all worked fine till i went a little inprov... but only after some time...
and by missing entitys i havethe enviroment, and the player start and setup located on the map... so what can i be missing thx for posting

[kkskeshava]

and no i didn't read the e-book sry ... i mean i m trying to use alot of softwears to make a game(lik i m only 13 years old) and RF seemed the esiest...
so if u could maybe take a look at it lik maybe i sent send it to you somehow... thx

If you dowloaded this program from 'a site' then we can not guarantee that you have the newest version and that everything works as we say here. Please first install RealityFactory 0.76 from the downloads page (on this page) and then update to 0.76.1. On the downloads page there is also the ebook which will satisfy almost all your needs (it was written for an outdated version of RF, but the stuff inside still works) Only recently an user was experiencing problems and nobody knew what the problem was. It turned out the user didn't use the most recent version of RF and that the problem was solved by installing RF0.76 and then updating to RF0.76.1.

If you didn't download RealityFactory here, where did you download it? Maybe they also have good tutorials for everyone here...


The log file we mean is RealityFactory.log which is located in the RealityFactory main folder.

THE SITE WAS ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD... and i m pretty sure i downloaded the .75 verision or whatnot but the site is called "http://www.stormthecastle.com/video-gam ... ctory1.htm" you should check it out because the link to downnload RF is also there... nvm the version i downloaded was RF0.75A... which might not be recent enough. Say i download the recent RF would my old level work because i spend over 4 hours working on it to make a massivily hard maze. thx

[ERROR] CGenesisEngine::BeginFrame failed

and yes i realised that there^^ it says it failed but if i download another version of generic 3d i cant link it to the version of RFEdit i m using

P.S. i tried the newer version of RF and it was way more (no offence to the creators) old and useless so plz can you help me with the version i am using(0.75A) thx

[bernie]

Looks like you have a leak. Surround the WHOLE of your level with a hollow box and try again.

[QuestOfDreams]

Moved topic...

First, welcome to the forums. Second, you should have read this topic: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3342 (and also this one viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1192 )

[ERROR] CGenesisEngine::BeginFrame failed

This error message usually indicates the usage of textures that are not a power of 2 in size and/or not square.

Looks like you have a leak. Surround the WHOLE of your level with a hollow box and try again.

This is not the case as he would not get a successfully compiled level, if there was a leak.

if i download another version of generic 3d i cant link it to the version of RFEdit i m using

I don't get what you're trying to do here. Everything that is needed is included in the main Reality Factory installer. The Genesis3D lib is linked statically against RF so you cannot use any other version of Genesis3D unless you recompile RF (furthermore RF uses the latest version of Genesis3D so it won't be wise to use a different one).

P.S. i tried the newer version of RF and it was way more (no offence to the creators) old and useless so plz can you help me with the version i am using(0.75A) thx

This makes absolutely no sense as RF 0.76.0 / RF 0.76.1 has all the features from the previous version and in addition several new features.

[kkskeshava]

qod thank you for your detailled reply but i dont get what i am suposted to do and the reason i said that about the 0.76.0/.1 is because all of the buttons are gray and the screen is different than i am used to... btw i am new at this so thank you but i require alot of assisstance sry but if you could explaiin what EXACTLY i could do it would be GREATLY appreciated THX

[kkskeshava]

QOD yes i read those 2 link you included and sorry... i am not sure of what graphic card or what i am using,i have experimented didn't really do much...i have read the manual and there was no aid there on my problem... the version of RFEdit is 0.75.0A, my screenshots did not attach there was a problem so that was one of my drawbacks to this forum so after what i have tried it still will not function so please if possible can you describe what steps i should take from here THANK YOU
