Title: Level Builder and Game
Post by VernJensen on 10.06.2010 at 13:53:50

Just added this to the Level Builder documentation. Rob Seegel discovered that if you modify a room *while* the game is playing the same mansion, it can cause the game to crash when the game (not the level builder) attempts to load that same room.

NOTE: If you run the Level Builder at the same time as the game, don't open the same mansion the game is currently running. If you modify and save a room in the Level Builder, then the game may quit with an assertion error when that room is entered by the player.

If you suspend the game (without quitting the game app), modify a room in the Level Builder, then go back to the game it should be okay. I've done it many times.

As have I. Unfortunately, it must have been an occasion (or occasions) when I forgot to suspend first.
