Reality Factory

I have been away from RF for a while. I have several levels that I had made some time ago, which worked fine when I stopped using RF. Now when I try to compile the levels I get a crash. The levels open in the editor, but when I try to compile, after the character selection screen RF crashes And gives this message "" the instruction at "0x0043f9a1" referenced memory at "0x00000084". The memory could not be read". "" Also here is my log file. Says that RF cant find the bsp file??? The sec3e_1.bsp is in the media/levels folder

Double check the correct path to the file. Did you do a complete recompile of the level or just the entities? If you want you can post one of your levels (3dt) that doesn't work so we can have a look at it.

I did a complete recompile. I have gotten several different error's in the log file with several different attempts to compile. But NOW the log file doesn't show any errors but the level still crashes.

Another question also, when I create a new level and compile, shoud it not create a new .map file with the same name as my level?

About your problem:

When I had this level-crash problem, I just selected EVERYTHING (brushes, entities, models) and paste them into new document. Worked for me

not sure about my turn around, but if you still have problems I am happy to have a look at the level. Keep in mind I am noobie but may pickup on something you missed or at least pinpoint issue even if I can't provide a resolution to it.
