Assembly Crashes Game When Playing Halo 4 #364

Open Crimsor259 opened 8 months ago

Crimsor259 commented 8 months ago

When I try to make alterations through Assembly to Halo 4, it says tag poking in progress and then the game just shuts down. There is not message or anything. There was once or twice that it said "illegal characters in path" but I havent be able to replicate it since then. Every time I try it now, it just crashes without warning. I wanted to know if this is a common issue or if it is isolated to just me.

It might not help in this case but can you try switching to the experimental update branch? That can give a little more information on poking errors. Also make sure you are opening the latest map files and not some old backup. There isn't any protection against that and can cause things getting written to the wrong address in memory.

If all else fails, what exactly are you trying to poke? Please give the exact tag/values.

So when I go to do the dawn mission for example, it says it is called m10_crash.map so I find that in my folder, open it and then I go to "globals" and under "default player traits", I try changing the "damage resistance" from 1 to 10 and "damage multiplier" for weapon traits from 1 to 10 and then I poke. It says tag poking in progress and then shuts down the game. Im not sure if it is an old backup. Its the first m10_crash.map I see when I open the folder up.

When you say folder, do you mean either steamapps\common\Halo The Master Chief Collection\halo4\maps or Program Files\ModifiableWindowsApps\HaloMCC\halo4\maps or someplace else? Anything else on PC could be older backed up versions. Under the "Header" tab when you first open the map the build listed should be Apr 1 2023 17:35:22 for the latest MCC H4.

I pulled the current public version and I can poke those values without crashing, so I suspect its something with your setup. Did you try the experimental branch to see if it Assembly gives any errors?

Crimsor259 commented 8 months ago

I did not. How do I setup the experimental branch? Also it is the map location in the steamapps\common\Halo the master chief collection\halo4\maps. I think I downloaded the latest build maybe 2 weeks ago.
