    Construct 2 Check failure

    ---------------------------

    Check failure! This is probably a bug:

    GetHICON returned NULL

    Condition: ret != NULL

    File: Projects\ObjectTexture.cpp

    Line: 612

    Function: struct HICON__ *__cdecl ResizeBitmapToIcon(const class cr::vector2_base<int> &,class Gdiplus::Bitmap *,int)

    Build: release 167.2 (32-bit) checked

    Steps to Reproduce Bug

    There seems to be no rhyme or reason to the cause. It just randomly happens. In the case of this error I was adding an event to an event sheet and the window pops open blank for a split second and then disappears. Upon hitting the enter key several times I finally got this window with an error.

    Whenever I do events or try to save (export) an object image I get this one randomly. Another one I get which never gives me a visible error window and eventually I have to force quit - losing my work.

    I've uninstalled C2 and even tried 32-bit instead of 64-bit. I've updated windows and video drivers. But This has just started happening since 164. I removed the Wii U plugin as well incase that was it. No new plugins aside of that have been added since.

    As far as I Can tell it's related to the objects being minimized for the object window in c2. But sometimes text is missing too. I'll try rolling back to the stable build as I don't think we've used any of the new features.

    Also - no other programs on my computer are having issues. No much new in the way of software since this is my work machine.

    Observed Result

    Blank windows, missing scroll bars. Missing gfx, closing windows and the occasional complete crash.

    Expected Result

    normal functionality of c2.

    Affected Browsers

    Does not apply.

    Operating System and Service Pack

    Windows 7-64 bit. Completely up to date.

    Construct 2 Version ID

    Currently 167.2

    ***EDIT***

    I hit abort after that error and then got this one:

    ---------------------------

    Construct 2 Check failure

    ---------------------------

    Check failure! This is probably a bug:

    Object texture leak: a texture is still loaded when cleaning up an ObjectTexture, check all textures released properly

    Condition: gl_instances.empty()

    File: Projects\ObjectTexture.cpp

    Line: 33

    Function: __thiscall ObjectTexture::~ObjectTexture(void)

    Build: release 167.2 (32-bit) checked

    Component: Construct 2 IDE

    (Last Win32 error: 0)

    ***EDIT 2***

    I've gone back to 163. Now it's doing it there as well. Either I've brought a bug back with me or something else has gone wrong. It's kind of reminding me of what CC used to do when I ran out of memory - the bigger my game got, the worse the crashing got. I'll go through the game and try to get rid of all of the garbage, but there is still more to add gamewise if so this is only a temp fix if it works. This time there was no error, just my variable boxes greyed out so I can't see what I'm typing and then it froze.

  • Ashley 167 working for me as well.

    But I have a whole new problem - things like opening a save or open window in say sprite editor or importing music will reward me with a blank window (no buttons or anything) and adding events has unusual results for example I tried to do a system create object event, when i go to select the object the window just closes and the bottom value in the system spawn box was greyed out and unselectable.

    Very strange random stuff. I've done a clean install of C2 now and rebooted etc etc. I Also just did a giant garbage collection incase I was hitting some sort of limitation on the amount of objects or files c2 can handle. I'll open a ticket if I can't resolve it myself by tomorrow. But the events issue is indeed gone for me so yay!!! Thanks for all your hard work as usual!

  • Ashley Nope. All of my includes with the exception of a few boss fights are at the beginning of the event sheets. I can try to give an example since I can't upload the capX of Insanity's Blade.

    Each event sheet for my stages has every include in the same order. The player controls event sheet is one of the first. I have the camera event sheet loading within the player controls event sheet and not in the level event sheet. To me it looks like it's not loading the includes in the player event sheet at the start like it should. It loads the player controls, you can move the player. But it ignores the camera event sheet despite (collision) overlapping the camera sprites until my hard drive light goes off.

    So to break it down 1) LEVEL event sheet loads PLAYER event sheet. 2)PLAYER event sheet loads CAMERA event sheet.

    Hopefully that is of some use.

  • Lunatrap I'm having the exact opposite issue now. Event sheets aren't triggering at all at the start of a layout. I've gone back to 165 and everything is fine. But with r166, my character was spawning in the middle of the air despite the code being there for him to spawn in a very specific area. And the camera code was being completely ignored until seconds after the preview booted up.

    Hopefully the events issue gets resolved quickly.

  • blazah99 Thanks! And Congrats to you as well!!

  • Icarus Thanks for the kind words! We're putting our all into this little game! We don't want to disappoint the fans of the old school era!

    There is a wall jump attack - it just hasn't been coded into the game yet. There are still a few things that aren't coded as far as controls/moves go. So you should be pleasantly surprised with some of our upcoming video updates!

    The sliding thing isn't so much about what you can see but it's more about jamming the jump button when you see/here the exclamation onscreen. Also pressing forward or back controls the speed of your jump on slopes. The holes on the first 2 slopes of stage 2 don't even need you to jump if you are pressing forward (right) as you are going fast enough to fly over them. Only on the last slope you need to jump. When you hear the beep, cram the jump button and press forward!

    I'm glad you find the game inspirational - that means a lot!! The Wii U version will be out a little later than the PC versions but will be worth the wait!

  • Well, we just got approved as Nintendo devs! We're off to the races! We also have 4 more stages all close to completion. We'll post some vids and pics soon. For now I tossed a couple up on our steam page of you want to see.

    The game will be coming out on Wii U as well as the GoGoMaddi game which is going to be renamed (because I saw there was a porn game called GoGoNippon :S and I don't want a game about my daughter associated with that.)

    for now some pics are here:

  • declan_gage Thanks! I actually started rebuilding the whole thing in C2 as well as a whole new Go!Go!Maddi! game! I think the new Go!Go!Maddi! is buried deep in the my creations in the c2 forum :)

  • Katala for that boss you can only hit him in the eye when it is not spinning or shooting the laser. He has a pattern. Rest - spin 3 times - rest - spit skeletons - rest (his eye gets slow here, just go to the opposite spot of where he's looking) - then laser, and repeat cycle. You do more damage when you punch the eye as well!

    You can hit his eye when he's spitting the skeletons as well. Hope that helps!

  • Katala I actually have the freezing issue on my older pc,a 3-4 year old i5. My laptop which is an i7 has no freezing issues. I just assumed it was because I was testing it from a USB card. But out of my 5 pcs I can test on, only that one (my i5 gaming rig) has that issue. It's also the only one running an ATI card so who knows...

    And thanks! I still have to remove some of the color from him and make him look a little less hand drawn if it's the spinning eye guy you're talking about!

  • PixelRebirth Haha! I never really saw it as criticism rather than a concern! And if I had have just gone ahead without warning people it would have been a very legitimate concern!! So no worries!

    There are so many things I think of to do for the graphics that are there already (aside of some obvious boss tweaks) I've just added the new enemy death and since we had to pull the demo down for a quick fix the new version that will either go up tonight or tomorrow will have the new enemy death in it as well as a few more bug fixes.

    I'm glad you're still enjoying it!

  • Blacksmith Thanks!! We're trying our best to give the game an authentic retro feel and we can't wait to get the final game to you! We hope you enjoy it!

    As far away as the release date is, for some reason it feels like we only have until next week to complete it... Time flies (when you're mostly having fun!)
