Gaulish Gaming Banquet: general

Hmm then maybe something changed in the X360 model/texture format and the editor crashes during decoding? Glad to hear that the PS2 version works, tho this also thanks to the fact that the geometries/textures are not decoded at all. In my editor it is possible to define which classes to load and which ones don't, depending on the game & platform, this way it is possible to load games even when most features aren't supported, though the editor will obviously show less.

As for saving, it might be technically possible, but you have to ensure that the file size doesn't change (like only change a single value, but not add/remove stuff). Unless there's a bug.

The editor crashes when I try to save even though I didn't do any modification. I simply load the level, press save, and it crashes.

Then I probably would have to check. Does it happen on the Wii version (as thats the version I have right now)?

dragonsoul5000

Yes

I tried to send a screenshot of the error message but I can't lol, but basically it says "Assertion Failed! Program : ...\XXL-Editor.exe File:C:\projects\xxl-editor\File.cpp Line: 38 Expression: file"

As for trying to load X360 DotD, the editor simply closes with no error message

Same with Dragon City in both Wii and PS2

If it says "Expression: file" then it's because it failed to open the file (for writing).

Check that the "Output path" is valid, and also check that the LVL*** folders are also created (the editor doesn't create them automatically, but that's something I will probably fix if I still remember :Obelul:

)

dragonsoul5000

Oh, creating all the empty LVL folders in the output path worked! My output folder was just empty 😅. Thanks!

adrientd

Yeah, that's something I might probably fix because I can see this happening a lot (myself included :Obelul:

)

dragonsoul5000

Alright, I tested and, as expected, adding something new causes the game to crash upon loading the files because of the different filesize, but simply moving things doesn't cause the game to crash! I've moved some objects at the location of the invisible island tower, saved, replaced the original files with the edited files, and booted the game in Dolphin (I extracted the entire disc so I can simply boot up the main.dol from the folders) and it works!

dragonsoul5000

Thanks a lot!

For a channel to be created enough conversation about it must warrant it
