ladders

I followed the help someone recieved in the following forum perfect,
and checked it again to make sure, and I get an error everytime i try
to look at my ladder and the game shuts down.

forum used: http://www.snarkpit.net/forums.php?forum=3&topic=2037&highlight=making,ladders

any help is much appreciated.

That's exactly how you make a ladder in hl1. If it's crashing there's a problem with the actual game installation you have. I don't know what it could be. But if you followed that exactly it will work ... since that's how you make ladders.

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Could you tell us exactly what error actually says?

Better to be in denial than to be human.

Bill Gates understands binary: his company is number one, and his customers are all zeros.

yeah, the error reads: "D_SCAlloc: bad cache size 0"

it only does this when i have the ladder in the level.

-correction, i just tried the level after the ladder was deleted and it
still did this. any idea what it could be? apparantly it
isn't the ladder like i thought.

The above page contains a comprehensive list of errors and their causes.

Under "D_SCAlloc: bad cache size 0" it says:

Another insufficient memory or misallocated memory error. Possible causes are many, including too
little RAM & also by having a texture perpendicular to the face of the solid with WC.
In one case it was a script that shifted models one button. Possible solutions are:

1. For memory telling the HL main engine how much memory to use with HL -heapsize # (1024 x number of meg is popular #)
or HL -zone # in the shortcut.

2. For texture perpendicular go into WC/Hammer, then you can press alt
+ p, and select the problem if it is listed, and tell it to fix all of
type; then try to compile again.

3. Or go thru the other errors on this page and try them as fixes. It CAN be frustrating! Sorry

I hope this helps but, speaking for myself, I'm none the wiser :smile:

Good luck.
