ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

So, I went in once at level 10. Got my ass handed to me a few times, then went back out. I'm going in from the Yeek side, by the way. So now, at level 11 I go in and if I do anything at all(move, use an ability, etc) the game instantly crashes. Any ideas?

If the problem is reproducible and you are not getting any Lua errors in the stdout log (not sure which OS you are using) then you can have a look at this page: http://te4.org/wiki/tome4-running-tome-gdb

Basically we need more information.

I'm using Vista 32 bit. I'll look into the gdb thing and get back.

Is the Windows build compiled with -g? I remember trying to debug a crash a few days ago in MSVC and there didn't appear to be any debugging symbols in the stack trace.

From stdout...

So it seems to be some problem with Subject Z?

Found the bug, and attached a patch, thanks.

Er..thank you? I have no idea what to do with this though. :p

it's for me, not you

ohh, good good. I was feeling a bit dumb there for a bit, like everyone knew how to do this but me. :p

Hehe, no worries mrdvant. I can tell you how to apply the patch, but generally speaking you don't want to since it will stop ToME from uploading your character to the website (it just detects that files have changed, so you could be cheating, etc). The bug will be fixed in the next beta, though.

So...is this a sometimes bug or all the time? I don't want to go through the effort of getting another yeek strong enough to get there if it's going to happen every time until it's fixed.
