hi there, hope you folks can help me with my problem
while playing a certain mission in the yet ureleased newest version of the warzone campain, my game keeps crashing every time a certain event occures in that mission (enemy ships arrive)
running with the debug build i got this log

Code: [Select]

now i'm not really sure if that has something to do with that certain mission as such (but i suppose so, never had this problem before) or wether something with the whole game is amiss
anybody has any clue what that log is supposed to mean? after all i can't even find a file named "lighting.cpp" within the freespace folder

after all i can't even find a file named "lighting.cpp" within the freespace folder

That would be because it is one of the files that contains the code from which your fs2_open_3_6_12d_INF.exe was compiled.

Could you post the actual log? That is, a file called "fs2_open.log" from your \freespace2\data\ directory.

[The E]

What is happening here is that the code is trying to add a light with a zero or negative radius.

This should never, ever happen.

One thing to check would be if this happens with recent nightly builds.

EDIT: Okay, I put some safeguards into the code so that that assert should not be triggered again. Please test a nightly build revision 7719 or higher.

strange error indeed 

i will surely test it
edit: it worked 
thanks very much mr E
i'm impressed by the speed of the response
