*Cries* Crash As Balor Dies

Norton causes so many problems, I haven't had it for years. I had to go and fix my mates dads computer the otherday cos it had internet problems guess what was causeing them...

that bastard norton

Edit.

for anyone who knows what it might mean

Code:

animation "death" "death.mae"
{
	event 1 "script" "game.particles( 'Mon-Balor-SmokebodyDeath', anim_obj )"
	event 1 "script" "game.particles( 'Mon-Balor-Eye GlowDeath', anim_obj )"
	event 1 "script" "anim_obj.fade_to( 0, 5, 8, OBJFADE_C_POOP_OFF )"
	event 70 "script" "anim_obj.balor_death()"
	event 65 "script" "game.particles( 'Mon-Balor Explosion', anim_obj )"
	event 1 "script" "game.particles( 'Mon-Balor Explosion Building', anim_obj )"
	event 1 "script" "game.sound_local_obj ( 1211, anim_obj )"
	
}


animation "dead_idle" "dead_idle.mae"
{
	loopable
}

animation "dead_fidget" "dead_idle.mae"

animation "death_prone_idle" "dead_idle.mae"
{
	loopable
}

animation "death_prone_fidget" "dead_idle.mae"

the death code of our little friend

 

I just wanted to say how much I appreciate everyone taking the time to look into this. It is very cool coming to a place where people seem to be interested in fixing problems just for the sake of improving things.

 

@ ted (and anyone else) I got it from TOEE1/art/meshes/Monsters/Demon/Demon.txt

 

I think Liv added the damage for the explosion in the san_dying script for the Balor.

 

That piece of code is from the dats, maybe if you edit it that might stop the problem.

or could it be this? (py00202NodeBalor.py from scr)

Code:

from toee import *


def san_dialog( attachee, triggerer ):
	triggerer.begin_dialog(attachee,1)
	return SKIP_DEFAULT

def san_heartbeat( attachee, triggerer ):
	if (not game.combat_is_active()):
		for obj in game.obj_list_vicinity(attachee.location,OLC_PC):
			if (is_safe_to_talk(attachee,obj)):
				obj.begin_dialog(attachee,1)
				game.new_sid = 0
				return RUN_DEFAULT
	return RUN_DEFAULT

def san_dying( attachee, triggerer ):
	game.global_vars[30] = game.global_vars[30] + 1
	return RUN_DEFAULT

 

Have you tried disabling and setting all graphics options in the game to 0? Seems to have worked for me.

 

It has also helped me to turn off the automatic updates concerning windows updates, anti-spyware updates, and anti-virus updates. Letting another program run applications and some processes every few hours or half hour even, has a tendency to "butt" in uninvited. This is just me though, I don't know how everyone else configures his/her comp.

 

try these..

You should not have to uninstall Norton Antivirus, just disable Norton Antivirus before launching ToEE.

If you have Norton Internet Security installed, also disable it before launching ToEE.

Update your Windows drivers for your motherboard and addon cards, audio and video. Use updates you can download from the manufacturer web site of the motherboard and addon cards, instead of using drivers from the Microsoft WindowsUpdate.com site.

Run a FULL antivirus scan and also run a Scandisk inside of Windows. When done, reboot.

 

Interesting. Forgive me if I am talking moonshine (to put it politely) but... is there a way for Frank to be present during the battle? Invisible, uninterested in getting involved... etc etc.

Silly idea or would it work until one of you guys figures out what exactly is going wrong?

 

That would be superb

Was just thinking around the issue. Does Frank have to be visible for Balor not to crash your game? And why would Frank's presence make any difference?

Balor: The young'un's watching. Got to do a proper death scene. Meh!
