Mystical(and annoying) assertion error
« on: May 22, 2013, 03:05:31 pm »
Hello everyone, its unfortunate, that I have to report a bug/glitch/error(or whatever you want to call it) as my first entry in UFO:AI forums, but thats how its going to be.

Note that I've modified few .ufo files(basemanagement, campaign, team_templates) in 0ufos.pk3, but they have nothing(as far as I can see) to do with this error, except for it only appearing with them modified(does'nt appear with fresh 0ufos.pk3 from backup).

Here are the modified parts of those files(everything else left as it is):

basemanagement(added another base template):

Code: [Select]
basetemplate advanced {
building (building_entrance "0 2")
building (building_quarters "1 2")
building (building_quarters "2 2")
building (building_aliencontainment "0 3")
building (building_storage "2 4")
building (building_powerplant "4 3")
building (building_command "0 3")
building (building_hangar "0 1")
building (building_intercept "4 1")
building (building_lab "3 2")
building (building_lab "4 2")
building (building_radar "0 4")
building (building_hospital "2 3")
}

campaign(added another campaign):

Code: [Select]

}
}

team_templates(changed stats for teams):

Code: [Select]
chrtemplate soldier {
rate 100
strength "30 45"
speed "30 45"
accuracy "30 45"
mind "30 45"
close "30 45"
heavy "30 45"
assault "30 45"
sniper "30 45"
explosive "30 45"
piloting "0 0"
targeting "0 0"
evading "0 0"
health "120 180"
}

chrtemplate pilot {
rate 100
strength "0 0"
speed "0 0"
accuracy "0 0"
mind "0 0"
close "0 0"
heavy "0 0"
assault "0 0"
sniper "0 0"
explosive "0 0"
piloting "15 30"
targeting "15 30"
evading "15 30"
health "120 180"
}

chrtemplate civilian {
strength "15 30"
speed "15 30"
accuracy "15 30"
mind "15 30"
close "15 30"
heavy "15 30"
assault "15 30"
sniper "15 30"
explosive "15 30"
piloting "0 0"
targeting "0 0"
evading "0 0"
health "60 120"
}

And here is that error I get(it happens when I click Full Campaign button in main menu screen):

Code: [Select]
Assertion failed!

Program: D:\Games\Invasion\ufo.exe
File:src/client/renderer/r_draw.cpp
Line: 563

Expression: depth < MAX_CLIPRECT

Thats the error message I get, with three options(Abort, Retry, Ignore).

Here is what ufoconsole says about it(last bit of it only):

2013/05/22 15:40:19 ERROR: Base template 'advanced' has ambiguous positions for buildings set.
2013/05/22 15:40:19 ********************
2013/05/22 15:40:19 CL_GetCampaign: Campaign "main" doesn't exist.
2013/05/22 15:40:19 Invalid Campaign id: main
2013/05/22 15:40:19 Music: track changed from van_theme to karlmacklin_geoscape.

As far as I can see there is no problems with positions in basetemplate and I have no idea why it cant find main campaign, its left untouched, so please help me to solve this error(I hope I've provided enought information).

P.S. There is another minor bug with main menu screen, you can move whole menu tree up a bit if you hold LMB on one of menu items and drag.

basemanagement(added another base template):

Code: [Select]
basetemplate advanced {
building (building_entrance "0 2")
building (building_quarters "1 2")
building (building_quarters "2 2")
building (building_aliencontainment "0 3")

building (building_powerplant "4 3")
building (building_command "0 3")
building (building_hangar "0 1")
building (building_intercept "4 1")
building (building_lab "3 2")
building (building_lab "4 2")
building (building_radar "0 4")
building (building_hospital "2 3")
}

Not sure about this one, but it seems like Alien Containment and Command Centre are located at the same place ("0 3") in the grid.

Well..., I guess I have all right to say that the lesson of this is as follows: Dont make assumptions on problems level of complication, if you're unsure about your blindness to obvious.

It's now working fine, no more mystical errors after placing numbers in right order.

Thanks for your help in form of fast reply, I should've really spotted that myself...
