GZDOOM Builder crash?

[Cansteam]

(If this is in the wrong area, I'm sorry, I have no idea where to go outside of the GZDoom Builder thread now that it's locked)

When I try to start to make a new map: this error happens.

Code: Select all

Does anyone know what this means? Because I sure don't.

When I try to start to make a new map: this error happens.

You mention 'a new map', I assume that you did not have any problems before.
So, something in your computer must have changed.

Try updating DirectX 9 and/or your video driver(s).

And speaking of updating, you might want to consider GZDoom_Builder_Bugfix
https://devbuilds.drdteam.org/gzdbbf/

[Cansteam]

This is a new computer I got 4 days ago, and I downloaded GZDOOM builder today, by the way.

And I'll try that tomorrow, as it is 2 in the morning and I need to sleep, and hopefully it works

[Kappes Buur]

See System requirements and Required software at the bottom of https://github.com/jewalky/GZDoom-Builder-Bugfix
which applies to both GZDB and GZDB-BF.

[Cansteam]

Downloading DirectX worked, thanks a lot!

[Cansteam]

Another error:

This appears when I try to compile a script. Any idea why?
I googled the file said in the error, but I couldnt find anything.

[Kappes Buur]

Which do you use for mapping, GZDB or GZDB-BF?

Anyways, it looks as if you have not installed the Microsoft Visual Runtimes,

GZDoom Builder uses Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)
see Required software viewtopic.php?f=45&t=32392

SLADE v3.1.1.5 and GZDoom Builder - Bugfix use Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Runtime
see Windows Requirements http://slade.mancubus.net/index.php?page=downloads


MSVCR120.dll first appeared in Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Runtime
https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/downloa ... x?id=40784
I'm not sure if you need that one as well. Try the other two first.

[Cansteam]

I use GZDB for mapping, and I tried all 3 options you gave me and the error still appears, even after restarting my laptop for each one.

[Kappes Buur]

After installing the 2013 runtimes, msvcr120.dll should be in
C:\Windows\System32\ and/or C:\Windows\SysWOW64 .

If you do not have it in either, I could upload it for you via mediafire
or you could find it through Google or Bing.

At the moment I do not know why acc.exe is looking for it.
Maybe someone else can throw some light on that.

[Cansteam]

Yep, msvcr120.dll is in my System32 folder.

And yeah, why IS it searching for that? Every time i've had a new computer, GZDoom Builder's/Doom Builder's script editor worked fine at the start


Edit: So, I reinstalled GZDoom Builder, and compiling the script worked fine UNTIL i updated it to the latest version.

Edit2: Upgrading to GZDB BF did NOT work.

Edit3: Downloading r2767 at https://devbuilds.drdteam.org/doombuilder2-gzdb/ did NOT work.

[Kappes Buur]

What is the exact path to where you installed the editor?
IIRC, one should not set up a folder in C:\Program Files.

Personally, with each new iteration of the editor I place the files into their own folder, ie
H:\PWAD_EDITING\GZDB_r2767
H:\PWAD_EDITING\GZDB_r2787
H:\PWAD_EDITING\GZDB_BF\GZDoom_Builder_Bugfix-r2960
H:\PWAD_EDITING\GZDB_BF\GZDoom_Builder_Bugfix-r2972
etc.

and delete older versions as they become obsolete.

[Cansteam]

I put mine is C:\Games\Doom\games and zandronum and doomseeker/GZDoom Builder

[Kappes Buur]

I created the same path C:\GAMES\games and zandronum and doomseeker\GZDoom Builder
and un7zipped GZDoom_Builder-r2787.7z there. Then I created a new map and placed some
actions into a script. The script compiled without a problem.

While it probably will not help, try to update the ACS compiler to what is found in the latest
GZDB-BF, but then it also won't hurt having the latest version.

Not being able to work on your computer, at this point I am out of ideas.

[Cansteam]

I would probably just try to see the latest version I can go without crashing, to see if there was a problem, but there's no website listing more than 5 versions of it as far as I know. For now I guess i'll just have to play on the oldest version without updating.

Thank you for trying to help, though.

There are still a few versions from end of 2015 to latest at https://devbuilds.drdteam.org/doombuilder2-gzdb/
Just set the Developer mode skin first.
