and i know it's not the weapon called alchemy_lazer because it has worked before and spaien only shuts down when i add the rollercoaster vehicle

and please dont F-ing spam...:(

[Zeph]

Fix your weapons/alchemy_lazer-umt/alchemy_lazer tag? Delete all the blank instances and such and make sure you're linking to the right kind of tags in all the other fields.

[CHMAN]

but ive always have had that error and the weapon never caused sapien to shut down,but it shuts down right when i add my four-seated vehicle named noobercoaster

You're referencing an invalid bitmap index somewhere.

He said it works when he makes it scenery so Its not bitmaps.

[Inferno]

it could be a material effect that has a missing bitmap. so when he creates it as a vehicle it crashes but as a scenery it doesn't.

Hint : don't post while on the drug you so proudly support in your sig; then you might have the mental capacity to notice that part of the error.

^

Also check HUDs, general effects, anything thast uses bitmaps ref'd by said vehicle.

[MNC]

Try to use every bitmap seperately and try to see which one causes the error? I dunno really.

Why did that post receive an infraction, by the by? His post is readable.

[Zeph]

Doesn't matter. If it's not there, it causes an exception and that's what's shutting down the app.

leetspeak is readable, but that doesn't mean it's not irritating. If I saw it, I would have done so from the lack of an attempt at grammar.

I animated it and helped him set up animation tag.
and I don't think he added material effects or anything else to it. Just model, collision and animations.

And yeah so what, I proudly support this harmless drug

Edit: actually If I remember right he didnt even add a collision.

This is like, the longest time He's gone not being banned from this forum.

[p0lar_bear]

You said that the exception doesn't occur if used as scenery, right? Then, it's safe to say that the missing bitmap isn't in the gbxmodel's shaders. As stated, check anything else that would contain a bitmap that is referenced directly or indirectly by your vehicle.

To cut right to the chase, besides the model itself, did you make anything else custom to go with it? I.E. unit_hud_interface, particle systems, an attached weapon, etc. That error means that a tag is referencing a bitmap sequence index that doesn't exist in a bitmap tag; an out-of-bounds error.

Did you copy over an existing tag to use with your vehicle as a template, and re-reference some bitmaps in that tag?

alchemy_lazer-umt


Hurr Hurr.

[Jay2645]

Hurr Hurr.
The UMT doesn't mean anything, he WAS going to do something with it (Which was never approved, but whatever), but he got kicked from UMT before he really got started.

Not to mention UMT died when Massacre and I left. Well, I was kicked, but that's beside the point.
