Hey, I'm having trouble with the editor...
Whenever I change the position of an object or do anything that modifys the file in anyway it seems to cause the game to crash.. I'm editing this on Windows 7 64 bit, I don't know how clean my lvl files are as they have been messed with once before however I'm sure that I kept original backups of them. I have however tryed loading it just to make sure and they do load fine but after editing the file it just stops working.
Any idea what could be wrong?
EDIT: Could someone please upload a clean r1.lvl because I found by just opening the lvl file then pressing save corrupts it apparently..

IF you've got the steam version just verify your game files, it will replace everything with the original

Or copy it back off the CDROM if its none Steam.

Why makes the scrab, paramite and glukkon no sound in necrum mines?
And camtool don't work on abe's exoddus.
Can't remove a object at path 2 in necrum mines:
The exception Guard Page Exception
A page of memory that marks the end of a data structure, such as a stack or an array, has been accessed.
(0x80000001) occurred in the application at location 0x0049c1fe. or
The exception unknown software exception (0xc0000005) occurred in the application at location 0x0049c1fe.
When i make my second save or more, it destroys the lvl file and i get this while playing:
The exception unknown software exception (0xc0000005) occurred in the application at location 0x0049c314. The game will crash.
Why can't i resave my edited level while i am improving it, bit by bit without the game to crash while testing it?

Any chance you can make videos showing these issues? Also are you doing this with "clean" lvls? I can't seems to reproduce any of your issues.
:
Is there a special way to get the "Run Level" to work? When i run it and begin a new game it just goes to the beginning R1 level.
PS great job on the editor. lots of usefull things fixed and added

Yeah this is just a shortcut to run the game really, no way to get it to load a specific level
:
But if you know how to convert exoddus cam files, shouldn't the pattern used to decrypt them, just be reversed?
Other than that, the editor works fine for me. Although i found when trying to save the level file, while the file is in use (Cause the game is running), it crashes and gives an exception.

I need to rework the saving code to handle more failure cases, readonly and locked / whatever else. Recompressing something when you dont fully know the algorithm is extremely complicated, it took me ages to figure out how to decompress by basically copying how the game is doing it, so not much chance of getting compression to work. In fact I'm not sure its possible because it uses hard coded huffman table.
