(General Wolf issue?) "No player one start found!"

[Smedis2]

Hello again. Recently, I attempted to make a VERY basic map for ECWolf. It was just a small room with wells. Nothing more, nothing less.
I placed a P1 start, but the game refused to accept it. Every time at start, it would read

Every editor I've used results in this. I actually made a really crappy and basic edit of E1L1, and that didn't work. However, I decided to rip the Tech Demo's first map and put it in a WAD, and it actually loaded. So, the question is,
what am I doing wrong?

You're the one that sent me an email about this about a week ago right? Thanks for the reminder.

I looked into it and the problem is whatever editor you're using is outputting a map name that's too long (32 characters) even though the map name is far shorter. It's a bug on ECWolf's end since I didn't know what the purpose of one value was. I will fix this tonight.

Edit: This build should contain the fix: http://devbuilds.drdteam.org/ecwolf/ecw ... 25-0148.7z

It worked for a little bit. Then the program would close right when I loaded the first map. Now this.

Looks to me like you got SDL.dll from a weird source. Did you install that build over the official 32-bit 1.3?

[Smedis2]

Yes.

I'm having this same issue with the latest build (from june 25). The build from May 30 works fine.

Yeah, I didn't think about vanilla's maps when testing the new code (I just tested the tech demo). That bug is fixed and should appear in the next build.

In IRC Smedis2's problem got solved (it was something to do with running the wrong copy). The June 25th build does work for his map and the next build will make both his maps and vanilla work.
