[0.9.9.2] Windows 7: Worked yesterday, today "unhandled exception"

(1/2) > >>

raigan:
hey,
Yesterday I tried running the new version a couple times, not playing it (didn't have time) but just to check if it would work with my new PC/Windows 7. It loaded to the mainmenu fine.

Today, when I start doomrl.exe it immediately crashes with this error:
An unhandled exception occurred at $00459433 :
EVariantTypeCastError : Could not convert variant of type (Null) into type (Boolean)
  $00459433
  $00453322
  $0041CECD  TDOOM__CREATE,  line 290 of src/doombase.pas
  $00402069  main,  line 74 of src/doomrl.pas

I'm not sure what could have happened since I haven't touched a thing!
:(

Did you modify the .lua config files? It fails to load the configuration.

raigan:
Doh, thanks! I must have typo'd somewhere.

Unkillable Cat:
Hi, I have the same error. However, I'm not making any typos. The game just won't read the config file if I make ANY changes to the game's configuration. Skip the intro? Unhandled exception. Turn off the music? Same thing. Always choose a random name? Ditto.

I'm using Notepad on a Windows XP machine to edit the files, could that be a problem?

Have you tried to use a fresh config.lua from a fresh download of the archive?  Note also that capitlalisation probably counts, and there should not be extraneous ';' terminating lines.

If it all fails, you can try posting the offending file enclosed with code tags so we can see what's wrong for you.
