Game is crashing in standalone version

[Andy90]

Hello  i made todays a first test with a standalone version. For some reason the game is crashing while the world get loaded. Is there some error log?

9 times out of 10 you are missing some media, only things in code that use the load function get moved to the zip. if your loading filename with a varaible like:

fish = {}

for t=1, 10 do 
 ent = Model:Load("models/fish"..t..".mdl")
end

then those files are not present in the media .ZIP file and you'll crash on a compiled run.

I ran into this when I first started out with LE too.

 

you can work around it by rem'ing some load commands.

--  ent = Model:Load("models/fish1.mdl")

--  ent = Model:Load("models/fish2.mdl")

--  ent = Model:Load("models/fish3.mdl")

and so forth. The zipper will pick up those files from the rem'ed code and you can still use variable naming to load mass media.

Sure, I unchecked the option to include only used files in the zip. Now it's working. By the way, it's an encrypted zip, correct? This is important to me because I use some TurboSquid models, and they require that the model itself isn't accessible as a file.

Yes, your media within the zip cannot be touched. No way, no how. 

I had deleted on accident, a project GameJam awhile back, the only access I had to the models from that project were in that zip file. Even with the best compression hack software I failed miserably until I eventually gave up. lol.
