System.ApplicationException

Hey guys, it's the ole fat crippled guy with the smelly hat again.

I've been building a cartridge, and I reached the point where I wanted to test drive it in Emulator.

When I tried saving it to my machine, I got the following nasty gram:

Any ideas?

You'll need to post the .Lua file here, I think.

I'll try that. I'm assuming I've screwed up somewhere in the creation, but I just can't figure out where.

Hmmm... OK. It seems I'm dumber than a bag of hammers. I tried attaching the .lua file, and got an error message:

"Error You aren't permitted to upload this kind of file"

Grrr...

The forum accepts zip files; zip the lua file and any images you're using (it's a pain to remove all image references just so we can look through a cartridge, so including the images is very helpful).

Once more into the breach!

Your cartridge contains a superfluous function. Open the Lua file with a text editor (Notepad is fine) and look for "CSnake". You'll find 14 lines beginning with this one:

function zinputCSnakeCreekHalfway:OnGetInput(input)

 

Delete that whole function and the cartridge will open fine.

 

I'm assuming that at some point you had an Input called "CSnakeCreekHalfway" and at some point you renamed or deleted it, but a builder bug left its onInput() handler in the file.

Thanx sTeam! That's exactly where I screwed up. I had to go about it the long way, but it works now. Whoo Hoo!!

I have similar problem. Would someone please be so kind to review my script? I was editing the inputs between saves when this occured. I uploaded a test file to Wherigo. While completing the last few steps I saved the cartridge but when I came back to it I got the following error:

I cleared all in the builder generated section - that uploaded.

 

By process of elimination I added section at a time. And although time consuming it proved succesful. Looks like one of the inputs had the wrong name. Phew, not as time consuming as re-doing it all.

 

Thanks for the assistance.
