Frictional Games Forum

i'm starting to work on a mod for penumbra. I need suggestions from you people. I'm not pro, so this is a learning kind of thing for me. Any1 got any suggestions for me, tips, whatever you want to tell. If you post something that should be in my mod, it'll probably be there. Well, i'm all disoriented and sick for some reason so i'm not typing like i usually so and i'm probably gonna forget something. I've got one problem though, when i try to open HPLhelper, i get an error saying

"Application has generated an exception that could not be handled

Process id=0x890 (2192), Threas id=0x8a4 (2212)

Click OK to terminate the application.
Click CANCEL to debug the application.

well, when i press CANCEL, i get the error (i'm copying this over, i gotta type it out)

Registered JIT debugger is not available. An attempt to launch a JIT debuger with the following command resulted in an error code of 0x2 (2). please check the computer settings.

cordbg.exe !a 0x890

Click on Retry to have the process wait while attaching a debugger manually.
Click on cancel to abort the JIT bebug request.

I click on retry, but nothing happens. What should i do? oh, and, any1 else making a mod, and maybe wanna help eachother out?

Have you put the HPL helper and the rest of the .exe files in the penumbra/redist folder?

Have you downloaded and installed .NET? http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...4D1E7CF3A3

yay! it worked! thanks man.

aww, now i got another problem. Ok, i'm opening "tut_woodbox.dae" but when the model viewer comes up, it just closes, nothing comes up in the model viewer, it just opens the modelviewer, then closes it again. Got any ideas?

oh, should i download COLLADA? if so, can you give me a download link?

oh, one more thing, i have a bunch of sounds, i'm trying to put up the file type,but all it sayes is winamp media file. could that be mp3? or wma? i use winamp. Well, do i NEED to convert the sounds to .snt? And if i do, where can i find a program for that?

about "tut_woodbox.dae", have you added the directories to the resource.cfg file as described in the first tutorial?

collada can be downloaded here https://collada.org/public_forum/viewtop...228  but you only need it for your 3D editor, not to use the HPL Helper or so.

The game can read just about any sound file format you want, it's recommended you use .ogg, .wav or .mp3. The .snt files are only game specific files that contain information for the game on what it should do with the sound. These files you can open in a regular text editor, I recommend that you do that to learn how they work.

//edit
i said that you could open the .snt files in a 3D editor, I meant a text editor :)

ok, thanks. I fixed the problem myself about the "tut_wodbox.dae", all i did was click save list on the setting tab. Thanks for the collada link and for the info on the sounds. You guys are fast. Well, i've got work to do, cya.
