Help with the Character Creator

[Terrah87]

Hi Guys,

I've been making my own classes for use in a Vampire the Masquerade themed module however I've run into troubles with the character creator, I've got all the 2da/TLK entries right and I can go right through the character creation process in the CC up to the point where I finalise the character then it crashes.

How can I go about debugging this from there?

thanks for any help

CC means JavaCC or ConvoCC? ;p

[Terrah87]

Sorry it's the Java one

[xwarren]

You can try to run CC for command line with this command:

Code: [Select]

start javaw -Xmx200M -Xms200M -jar CC.jar > cc.logand check the info in cc.log after it crashes.

[Terrah87]

Just tried that and it's giving me the error Windows cannot find "javaw" make sure you have typed the name correctly and try again.


Sorry for being a bit thick but Java isn't really my area of expertise :p

[xwarren]

heh, try
start java -Xmx200M -Xms200M -jar CC.jar > cc.log

[Terrah87]

still getting the same error :/ sorry it's not helping much

[xwarren]

Are you sure you have Java installed?

javaw.exe and java.exe should be in your system %PATH%
if you do have java installed find those files and add path to them into command line
ie: start "c:\program files\java\java.exe" -Xmx200M -Xms200M -jar CC.jar > cc.log

[Terrah87]

double checked that I have java installed and I do,

I can get the java window to launch by putting in:

start "c:\program files(x86)\java\jr6\java.exe" into the window but then when I add the rest of it I then get the same error again with windows cannot find -Xmx200M this time.

[xwarren]

that's because "start" takes your path as one of its parameters.
ignore start!
type:
"c:\program files(x86)\java\jr6\java.exe" -Xmx200M -Xms200M -jar "<path to cc>\CC.jar" > cc.log

[Terrah87]

ah right sorry 

[Terrah87]

Getting path errors now going to go bang my head against a wall for a bit then try again

[Terrah87]

alright got it working now using this : "c:\program files (x86)\java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xmx200M -Xms200M -jar "c:\cc\cc.jar" > cc.log

however no log file was being created in the CC folder :/

[Terrah87]

found the log file!

there's no error on it just this:

Invalid icon: isk_x3_ride.tga
Invalid icon: isk_x3_ride.tga
Invalid icon: isk_x3_ride.tga
Wing: 0
Tail: 0

The CC still just hangs once you've clicked finalise with nothing else happening

[xwarren]

Do you run it as administrator?

Maybe give it some time, it usually takes a while to create the bic.
