FuChu Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 Wow Mr Cater, Thank you for the help and the super quick reply. Thank you sir, FuChu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsmm Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Fuchu, Just thought I would say your not alone by any means. It was a real bummer for me when the game ended like that for me, because I was about to take San Francisco and end it. Although Mr Cater, helped out and I achieved my victory.

scottsmm Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Thanks once again Hubert, It's just it's a shame though that it comes up in so many threads. I've counted 5 so far that the same problem has come up in. I thought the thread of segmentation violation was a good one .Just out of curiosity though are segmentation violations suppose to come up or not? In other words did you program them into the game to prevent people from manipulating the game and it's functions? One segmentation violation that is notorious with me is when you try having a minor paratrooper unit drop any where in the game (SC2, and WAW haven't tested it in the Pacific theater and in Patton drives east).

Hubert Cater Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Scottsmm, Segmentation Error is just the heading type of various in game errors that cause the game to crash. The sub-type is usually more important and tells me more or less where in my code the problem exists. In this example it was in the 'animate_purchases' routine.

scottsmm Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Ok Hubert, I wasn't totally sure on that. Although I do know they cause the game to crash (you know that from experiencing one though). Anyway thanks for helping me understand the SC game engine a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
