Crash when testing Britzl simple lights example

lightenlynx · August 18, 2020, 4:13pm

Hello, I was trying to run Britlz’s “Simple Lights” example (https://github.com/britzl/publicexamples/tree/master/examples/simple_lights) and when I run the project I got the screen and after 1 second the example crashes with this result:

Can you try this fork and see if it still crashes for you? I tried to update a few things

This as is runs for me without warnings and no crashes on Windows 10.

lightenlynx · August 18, 2020, 10:34pm

Well I tried it, even restarted the computer and it’s still crashing. I use Windows 10 and my graphics card is NVIDIA Geforce 1050 2GB, I5 processor (2nd generation) 8 GB memory. For hard drives I have 1 SSD for the main system and SATA2 500gb for data. Screen resolution 1920x1080, 1080p in 60hz. I will paste below the sysinfo from Nvidia panel, it might help altough it’s in portuguese:

Could you try disabling parts of the example until you can figure out what exactly is causing the crash? Use -- to comment out lines and look for whatever is causing the issue.

This is the main file you want to experiment with /examples/simple_lights/simple_lights/render/postprocess.render_script

If the function update(self) try to disable parts. You can toggle comment out multiple lines by highlighting them and press Ctrl + /

@Mathias_Westerdahl might know what’s wrong based on the call stack.

lightenlynx · August 19, 2020, 1:59am

Sure, I’d love to help fix this. Thanks for the tip on the “comment multiple lines”, I need it. Since it’s kinda late here, I’ll post the results tomorrow.

Mathias_Westerdahl · August 19, 2020, 5:51am

Unfortunately, that callstack looks broken. Those functions seem very arbitrary.

If you could upload the _crash.dmp, I could debug using that.

lightenlynx · August 19, 2020, 2:12pm

Hello Mathias. Here are both crash files in ZIP (I didn’t saw the zip format was allowed to upload until now, sorry guys). It was generated a few moments ago, right after the update. Hope you can fix it.

simple_lights_crash.zip (20.5 KB)

lightenlynx · August 19, 2020, 2:21pm

Guys, I did right now what Pkeod suggested, and I got success identifying the line in the render script (in function update) that generates the problem. After commenting the line

render_helper.set_screen_view_projection(self)

the scene loaded and run without errors.

Mathias_Westerdahl · August 19, 2020, 3:19pm

Are you using any native extensions?
If so, could you share the dmengine.exe that you built?
And preferably, if you build with bob.jar, if you add the “–with-symbols”, you’ll also find the dmengine.pdb in the bundled folder.

(Yes, I really need to add the “–with-symbols” as default when building with the editor)

lightenlynx · August 19, 2020, 5:30pm

Mathias, I was trying to do what you asked when I find out the following: the project builds OK, with no errors (even with that line uncommented) if I press CTRL+B or CTRL+SHIFT+B, but when I try to run the game (from the editor) with F5 key (as I use to do) the error occurs.

For me, F5 was just another way to reach the same result as CTRL+B but apparently they are different procedures.

Edit: I have luasocket installed, only.

Mathias_Westerdahl · August 19, 2020, 6:51pm

Do you use any dependencies in your project?
I.e. “project -> dependencies” in the game.project settings.

lightenlynx · August 19, 2020, 8:28pm

No dependencies, I ran the example project as it came. I noticed however it uses ortho camera. Anyway the problem seems to be only when I run the project from the editor with the F5 key as I stated above.

Potota · August 20, 2020, 12:38am

Pressing F5 in the editor builds the game with a debugger which has some issues, though this seems to be a new error. Does the same thing happen if you run other projects with F5?

lightenlynx · August 20, 2020, 12:49am

Not really, BUT I haven’t tried many examples yet. Mostly my own studies reading the manuals. So far I’ve been using rendercam in my project, but I recently made some study in a separate project using normal camera and all went ok.
