Tell me more about the crash.

Is there an error message? Or does the window close with no error displayed?

Do any error messages appear in g_debug.txt?

More about the crash?

There is no error message, first of all. When I advance the text box, my Windows Microsoft message pops up, and says that game.exe has stopped working. It then looks for a solution, and then tells me to close out the frozen window. I did not see any error messages in the g_debug.txt.

What's text box 294? Is it self-redirecting or something? Does it crash before or after the text box is dismissed?

Crashes after the textbox, which is just a normal text box.

Ah, okay. Thank you for checking.

Can you send me a copy of your .rpg file and a save game right before the script that causes the crash?

EDIT: oh, one other thought. Can you post the earthquake script too?

Alright, will do. The file shall be forthcoming.
Oh, and earthquake...

wait for camera
pan camera(right,2,50)
wait for camera
pan camera(left,2,50)
wait for camera
pan camera(right,2,50)
wait for camera
pan camera(left,1,50)
wait for camera
end

Thank you very much for the bug report! I was able to reproduce the crash using the file you sent me, and I have fixed it. It was a bug in the "camera follows hero"

I am rebuilding the nightly wip release candidate right now. Wait about 15 minutes, and then re-download and test and let me know how the fix works for you.
