ACCESS VIOLATION after creating a new map (details within for a tl;dr)
I recently got the GOG version of Eschalon Book I, and then saw the nifty savefile/map editor tool.
I don't have issues very often with the savefile editor (I can just simply go to the tmp file and restore from there if something does screw up), but the issue I am having is this...
I made a totally new map for traversing all over Thaermore quickly (idea came to mind after not being able to quick travel with a certain item), and it all looks well and good, but after placing a warping tile to go to the map (I actually created several places for back and forth warps), I touch the tile, and right before it finishes the warp, it throws a WINDOWS ACCESS VIOLATION error. I know that my coordinates are valid, I know that my map is saved correctly, I know that the scripts are correct, so, really, why am I getting an INVALID ERROR MESSAGE!?
I know, I know, likely not going to have a fix, but a temporary solution would be excellent, merci beaucoup.

Please show us the script you use on the warping tile.

The script I used (I copied this from the Goblin Teleporter):
map_port 188 ; port_to 9535 ; sound (sfx_energize)
map_port 188 ; port_to 9535 ; sound (sfx_energize)

I can't see anything wrong, but then again I haven't used the editor in more than two years. Sorry I can't be more help.

I'll take a look at this sometime next week, if you can wait that long.

Take all the time you need. I'm just glad someone actually responded (since this seems to be a dead game if GOG is giving it away).SpottedShroom wrote: ↑July 27th, 2017, 4:53 pm I'll take a look at this sometime next week, if you can wait that long.

Dead game? Eschalon: Book I was released nearly ten years ago. Making it free most likely has renewed interest in the other two games in the trilogy and what Basilisk Games are currently working on.

Here, try the attached map, and use the following script on an item (or other map) to reach it:
map_port 188; port_to 9535
map_port 188; port_to 9535

It still gives me the same BS error.SpottedShroom wrote: ↑August 5th, 2017, 5:41 pm Here, try the attached map, and use the following script on an item (or other map) to reach it:

Like, the map is I guess a bad map or something.
Or maybe my computer just likes being an asshole. I dunno...

Can you zip up your whole savegame slot directory?

Invalid Attachment Error. Looks like this is the end of the road. Ah well...
If the forums are going to behave in this manner, then they are broken.

This board only lets you attach small files. Try a third party file sharing site.

Something very weird is going on. It isn't your custom map or the script you're using to reach it - using the same script on an item or a switch, say, works fine. I can also replace 188.map with the contents of one of the other maps in your save game directory and it still doesn't work.
Absent an opinion from BW, who probably has more important things to work on, I'd suggest using a switch or item to reach your map as a work-around. Sorry I couldn't come up with a real fix.
