[0.9.4] Can't play map made in map editor

Post by xng »

[0.9.4] Factorio x64, win7, zipversion, with or without mods

Description: Game crashes when hovering the inventory after loading a map made in map editor in this Factorio version.

How to recreate:
1. Make a map in map editor with default settings
2. Put player entity somewhere on the map
3. Save as "LoveIsland" or something else cute :)
4. Load the game through Custom Scenario
5. Click away the tutorial tips
6. Open inventory and hover the recipes
7. Watch crash-log with amazement or come back here and tell me I'm wrong.

Additional info:

* Changing version bytes in blueprint.dat and trying to load it in 0.9.3 does not work. (Probably obvious, but I had to try =))
* Making a map in 0.9.3 and loading it through scenarios in 0.9.4 works, so it is something with the (new) editor or saving.

^^

Edit: I realized there is a random factor to this, it sometimes works but mostly not, and sometimes 0.9.3 map doesn't work either, and sometimes you can just load the old map in the map editor and add a new player entity again and it works after resaving... and so on... Very odd bug. I attached a scenario that does not work, and nothing was added/changed in this scenario except creating a player entity and saving it, the rest is the random made map, and there wasn't even any scrolling or zooming made so no extra chunks have been made. You can start the scenario like normal, and even run around and chop down trees and whatnot, but as soon as you hover a recipe in your inventory (you never even have time to see a tooltip) the game crashes.

We found out, that the problem is, that the player was placed with neutral force.

The default force for player is now player, and it will not crash (at least not this way), when player with enemy/neutral force is created.

Very nice that you got it solved! I felt really stupid there for a while when it all seemed so random =)
