Help with AMaster

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.vga-planets (More info?)

A little over a year ago Piotr and Degi helped me get AMaster going and I
created a couple games with it.

I updated it with v310f and now it crashes when I fire it off

Exiting due to signal SIGSEGV
General Protection fault

Somewhere in the mess of crash junk it also says program=<??unknown??>

I believe if <??UNKNOWN??> is there it means the program crashed inside the
startup code so I know it is not in the amaster config file.

Can anyone here assist or should I just forget using it?

Please tell me about your system:
- Your operating system.
- How do you invoke amaster?
- Does the old version of amaster work?

If you want me to compile a new binary, I can try to do so.

From a command promt inside directory where amaster is:
amaster.exe -w d:\plantest\game d:\plantest

Not sure, I will have to dig up the old version, I overlaid it. It did work
previously but I am not sure if it was before I upgraded to XP Pro.

AMaster 3.10f works on my local Windows XP Professional system
(version 5.1.2600, build 2600, no service packs installed).

Are you using programs like virus scanners, personal firewalls,
anti-spyware tools and so on that might disturb other applications?
