Cartridge shuts down Oregon

[+Zorkan_Heneron]

Not sure if anyone can help me.

 

My cartridge shuts down the Oregon 450 after going through a few zones. It works great in the emulator and my PPC. It doesn't seem to be any specific event or action that does it, I can just be walking from one zone to another.

 

I have gone through all my picture files and they are the correct width or smaller, I have no more then 6 active zones at any given time and only 3 when there is any activity inside a zone. When the cartridge is running it seems to flow well with no significant lag. There are about 15 items in the inventory, potions, armor, weapons and such, not sure if that is a problem. In my coding I have strived to remove stuff before adding, deactivating zone before activating new ones etc.

 

I've read in other posts that the number of items, zones, characters, timers, variables etc. doesn't matter as long as their managed.

 

I have:

Zones 42 no more then 6 active at any time.

Items about 200

Characters 15

Timers 4

Variables 85

Media 78

Inputs 66

 

Any help would be appreciated. There has been a few hours gone into this and I sure would like to get it going with the Garmin.

 

Thanks in advance.

Check timers. Use whole seconds only. I once had the hardest time figuring that out. I made a "movie" that changed the image every tenth of a second. It only worked on my Colorado. When I dumbed it down to whole seconds (no decimals), it worked.

Make sure the Oregon doesn't show an input on enter/proximity, recalculate your position a few times, put you out then in the zone again, and try to show the input. Having an input (perhaps even a message box, but I'm not sure) appear over top of an active one will shut down the device. This is one of the usual mistakes people make when dealing with Garmin's version of the Wherigo Player.

Thanks for the responses. My timers are in whole seconds. I have message boxes coming up upon entry, but no inputs. Sometimes it shuts off between zones like 100 ft from a zone. Once it shuts down the first time and I restart from the saved game it shuts off within seconds of loading the saved game. The screen just seems to fade away slowly.

I wonder if the cartridge is just too much for the resource-starved Oregon to handle. Perhaps an out of memory exception causes it to shut down. I've heard reports of other, much less grand cartridges shutting down the GPSr. One of the cartridges I built in 2008 while I was testing the limits of Wherigo managed to slow the Oregon down quite a bit. I was moving two zones every couple seconds. While that was going on, subsequent message boxes in a dialog took upwards of a minute before the next one loaded.

 

When your Oregon shuts off, it's never quite in the same place in your cartridge?

Yes, the Oregon shuts down in different places in the cartridge.

 

The concept of the cartridge is the player is in a "room" with 6 zones in it, like a hexagon. There are a total of 7 "rooms", a center one and 6 surrounding ones. The player is free to roam around to whichever Zone they want. The 6 zones are all active until the player goes into a zone. Then I deactivate the farthest zones and only keep the current zone and the two other zones nearest it active, total 3.

 

When I first did the cartridge, I kept all the zones active, but it slowed the message boxes from appearing for up to a minute, so I decided to trim down the active zones while "doing stuff" in the zones. Most of the zones have 2 or 3 items to deal with, a bookcase to search or a door to get opened, maybe a character to talk to.

 

If the player decides to go into the next "room" by opening a door, I deactivate the former "room's" zones and then activate the zone they are going into, again attempting to minimize active zones open. I've been able to field test getting into other rooms and it went ok. It just seems to shut down at random, even without doing anything except walking to a new zone. When it is working, the flow seems fine and the processing goes fairly quickly. It makes it through some of the more complex areas, but then shuts down on a simple thing like "search" button.

 

The cartridge works great on a PPC and I'd hate to have to Dummy down the cartridge to work on the Oregon. I'm thinking of just releasing it to work with PPCs but not sure how many cachers would lose out on the cartridge. I'm also leery of that because I had another cartridge that worked on IPhone until the ios 6 came out and it didn't work anymore(but that's another topic).

 

Sorry for my long windedness, and thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi Bob,

 

Look in both of the logfiles located \Wherigo\Logs\WherigoLog.log and \Wherigo\Saves\[Cartridgename].gwl

Often there are informative issues.

[+Zorkan_Heneron]

Thanks jonny65 I had a look at the log file and this was it for the last 2 times I was out:

Don't know what that means.

 

I could not find a GWL file for this cartridge in the Saves folder.

How much processing is done inside your timers? Your problem could be that one timer doesn't finish, before it fires the next time. My suggestion would be to trigger the timers less often, and see if that makes the Oregon less crash-prone.

[+Zorkan_Heneron]

Thanks Wegge, I'll temporarily remove the timers and see what happens.

Really ? Thats strange. When you connect the oregon to the computer with an usb cable, you have a new removable drive.

In the root there is a directory "Wherigo" in which the cartidges are stored. In these directory there are 2 folders "Logs" and "Saves". In "Saves" there are all saved games and the logs too. Are there only .sav files or perhaps nothing ? Really strange. Or prolong the intervall of the timer, for example not each 1 second but 3 seconds.

I found that strange also. There are GWL files for all the other cartridges I've played but not for this one. There is a GWS file but I don't know how to open it.

 

As far as the timers, so far in the testing there was only one going and it was set to interval for 1200 seconds. The timer triggers a decrement in a variable. I'm going to remove the timer and test and see what happens.

 

Thanks again for everyone's help

Have you enabled the log functionality for the cartridge? In Earwigo you have to set a switch ("Use logging when playing cartridge") on the main cartridge tab to do so.

Thanks. I've set that and will be testing shortly.

Ok, I went out and retested with the timers shut down and the "enable logging" function on and pretty much the same thing. It shut down walking from one zone to another. The GWL File shows some standard stuff in it leading up to the shutdown, leaving proximity to zone A, Leaving distance to zone A, then the shutdown and then the start up from the saved game.

 

What bugs me is the cartridge worked fine on the initial first test. I haven't made it more complex, just bigger, more zones, more items.

 

I'm thinking of borrowing a buddy's gps and see what happens with theirs.

Can you post the log so we can have a look at what is going on? It might be that someone here can spot something in the cartridge that is known to cause trouble.

Thanks Geo-Magician. I tried uploading the file but the site won't let me so here is all the GWL File. There is a lot of placing of items in the first half and near the end you can see where the cartridge was restored from the save a couple of times. It first shut down as I was about 80 ft from B North or within it's proximity. All activity starts "upon entry" to zones.

Thanks for any help you can give.

You have been armed with your favorite weapon and armor. I also gave you some rations which you will need to pick up at the start. They will come in handy when you get lost. Remember, you are an Archer so don't be fighting hand to hand. I have prepared a lovely dungeon for you to enjoy. Wander around as you see fit, but I would suggest sticking together and working as a team. Use your distance weapons for the good of the group, and remember to utilize your sight, the brawn of the Fighter, the stealth of the Thief, and the magic of the Magic User/Cleric. I will guide you along on your journey. You may wander into the next "room", (if you can get through the door) but if you haven't found everything you need to in this "room" you may have to come back, and if you do there could be many more surprises for you.

I believe I have found the solution to my problem. It was the software version of my GPS.

 

I borrowed two GPS's from my buddies and trialed them yesterday afternoon. One of them shut down much like mine did, but the other one ran the cartridge flawlessly. I came back to the house and looked at the software version and the working GPS was a much higher version of software then the non working one. I updated the software on mine and the other one once the owner gave me permission to do that. I went out today and trialed it on both the former non working GPS's and they both worked fine. I was able to save, restore, shut down, restore, and shut down remove batteries and restore. Everything is working fine. I did not do the whole cartridge, but went 2-3 times farther then before and no problems.

 

This has been a bitter/sweet experience. In one way I was relieved that my coding was not to blame for this shut down problem. I have tried to apply all the advice and tricks of the experts. On the other hand I feel a little foolish for not having the GPS software up to date.

 

Anyways I have learned from all this and hopefully it can help someone else if they run into a similar situation.

 

I want to thank all of the people that responded to my situation. I've learned some additional troubleshooting tricks and learning is never a bad thing. Now hopefully some of my hair will grow back.

 

Again thanks everyone.

What version of the software didn't work? What version did?

[+Zorkan_Heneron]

What version of the software didn't work? What version did?

 

The versions that did NOT work were Software Version 4.0 and 4.4 and GPS Software Version 4.52

The versions that did work were Software Version 5.8 and the latest 6.2. GPS Software Version 6.0 in both cases.

 

Hope that helps.

Good to know. I don't know what the current version of their Colorado firmware is, but I haven't updated it for four years. I stopped because I didn't like whatever it was in the next update. That and they released the Oregon, so I didn't want to chance the Colorado's Wherigo player somehow acquiring the flakiness seen in the Oregon's.
