Title: White Screen o' Death
Post by: MWL on January 21, 2007, 11:53:28 PM

Greetings,

  Got a map, got land, got fields, some fields on non-level terrain, no carriers, no roads.

  Tried to launch map to 'see' what it looked like, game launches, goes through the black bar slide to right, see tower, see barracks outside, then I see a white screen followed by "sorry, the program has stopped functioning" . . . . . .

  What do y'all need to know to help me???

Thanks!

First, all fields must be on LEVEL terrain. Although I don't recall this being a cause for the game to crash.

Do you have any custom objects?
Is your clipboard map 256-8bit color?
Have you added any objects (non-custom) to the fields?
Have you placed any objects other than fields on the map?
All all fields in the center of the 1-mile grid?

Greetings,

  Thanks for the response.  

  I have no custom objects, fields have not been modified.  Fields are centered in the 1 mile squares.  I have placed one armored shore battery and 3 each vehicle/boat entry points.

  I will need to recheck the clipboard map this evening......I think it is, but may not be 256 / 8 bit color.

Greetings,

  Checked, clipboard map was not 256/8.  Fixed, no more White Screen of Death!  Thanks
Now, to figure out the shore batteries and weather.  After I tweak the terrain for bases and vehicle approach routes.
