Troubles in DOSBOX 0.61 (can be a bug in TED5 or DOSBOX)

Post by Boeing747 »

After saving my edited level. I usually exit TED5 and type
"GO5" in the commandline of DOSBOX. KEEN5 appears
promptly. I'd like to play the level -> ERROR:
MAP TOO TALL. What's goin' on? The error appears
when I'm entering the Amageddon Machine MAP!
HELP!!!!

PS: I've already made ULZEXE and patched CK5 into the
latest version.

Simple, as far as I can tell, your map is too large for TED5 to load.

^ Don't you mean, too large for Keen 5 to load?

Anyways, I'm not, TED expert, too bad. :( Have you remembered to 'carmagize maps' or whatever the one command is? Or at least something like that was always told to do in that CKNewsletter small tutorial.

I've changed only one tile :o(
The rest of the map is original from Keen5 ID-Software.

Yes, but I think that carmacizing must be still done, no matter how few you edit.

Yes it works. I didn't know what this function does.
I'd just noticed it.
But it isn't easy to edit levels. ERROR: No free spots in spritearray
Or something. Or: Goplat moved in a illegal spot.
Try try try.

I think carmacizing compresses the gamemaps.ck?.

^ Might be, dunno..

Anyways; that Goplat error is cause by wrong moving platform 'design'. I.e. the platforms aren't going correctly, as they should, if they aren't placed the way they should.
