rec0's Devicator Crashing Problems

The thing is, the app crashes but the server remains up. Also, the app crashes right when I try to start it up with the server.

I've followed all the directions and copied the "_d" folder, the "sapp" folder, haloceded.exe, and haloceded_extended.exe into the Halo CE install directory but didn't copy over the strings.dll and strings__.dll files because I was told not to for a home dedi.

Oh and the app console says:

Maps loaded, Devicating...
Attempt to close data reader failed
DB Query: "select * from maps"
DB Query: "select * from expressions"

hmm, the app gets that far and then crashes?

perhaps try updating your .NET framework?

What? I'm sure you still copy the strings_.dll ? I have it in my folder....

Is there any way to fix this?

This happens every now and then on my home zombies dedi when the server is restarting. I just close down the server and wait for the app to close, then restart it again.

Yes it appears that the crash happens when the app is accessing the _d.mdb file. I will try updating .NET and see if it helps...

i need a STEP BY Step setup guide...plz dnt say "self explanatory" tell me every single detail f how to do the hex ediitng, the admin management, and everything else

Well he said he used a third party app to "edit" it. Is there a chance it could have changed the file in some small way that the app doesn't like it? Would it work if it was just done with Access?
