So I'm working on some stuff again and digging the new build, however whenever I try to manually set xwin and ywin during the startup script of a map, verge crashes.

It's really just a simple:


void MapInit()
{
cameratracking = 0;
xwin = 1387;
ywin = 246;
}



If I use a function that manipulates those to variables in the start up script, say, one of Kildorf's camscroll functions, that function will work, and it'll end up where I want it to go.

But I'd like it to start at a certain spot on the map to fade in to before I scroll somewhere else.

I also tried it in the last build because I'm sure that's how I used to do it, and it works fine.

Any ideas? :)

I actually figured out what was doing it....

I was HookRetracing a simple function that just printed the values of xwin and ywin to the screen. It helps me figure out what to set them at when I want to control the camera. I really didn't think it was causing the problem, as it too would still work fine and appear if I was calling one of those Kildorf functions I mentioned earlier and it's just a call to two PrintStrings.

So that's why I didn't include it in my example code, but, that was my mistake as it's clearly what caused the problem. Commented it out, and voila it works.

I thought I had found a bug, but it was really my noobness.

So, problem solved, but I really appreciate you looking into it for me. :)

Oddly enough, about two weeks before you made the latest two news posts I felt an urge to get back to work on Amethyst.

So I've been plugging away at it. It's going pretty well, but I don't have anything in a releasable state at the moment. I don't want to make a guess either as my life is pretty busy these days...

But hopefully I'll have something soonish. :)
