rec0's Devicator Crashing Problems

[flyingmonkey3]

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....

Hmm I get an error when I run the app. It says:

Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.
Process id=0xfb8 (4024), thread id=0x854 (2132).

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.

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

if you want to run this on a home dedi, do NOT use the strings.dll files in this release, those files are only for gameservers/paid dedis, and will corrupt your halo ce install if you use them.

Ducky, read better.

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?

Can you please make use of spell check, and capitalize your words where necessary? As your posts stand now they are very painful to read.
