Rumtime Error 76 RESOLVED (NO REPRO)
« on: January 21, 2008, 07:43:31 PM »
When running a Sim (any sim) I can randomly get a runtime 76 error, I think this may happen during autosave, although it can happen in sims with no autosave and no error.sim is created. For the purposes of this thread I did a sim, it was a zerobot vegtable simulation. I am using DB 2.43. Note: im pretty sure it isnt an error in the bot since I have had it with several default bots.

There have been a very large number of changes since 2.43 adn it is likly this has already been fixed.

Let me know if this reproduces on current builds.

I ran your sim overnight without problem.  Do you perhaps have one or more zombie darwinbot.exe processes still running left over from your 2.43 crash?  The path not found error may be an attempt to load lastexit.sim on DB startup.  If could be locked by another DB process.

FYI, in 2.43.1, the user is now prompted as to whether they want to load lastexit.sim at startup.

Well the error started happening after several non error sims, and now usally happens with all sims, so at somepoint I must have done a bad save or something, loaded bad bot etc. is 2.43.1 different from 2.43.z, if so I shall give it a go. I was thinking that if I reinstalled DB it might be fixed?

First try deleting or renaming saves\lastexit.sim and settings\lastexit.set and then restarting DB.  USe the task manager to make sure there are no other running instances of DB first.  

If this addresses the problem, please post those files.  Thanks.

This means you have never successfully exited a post 2.43 version....

Try deleting settings/default.set...

2.43 does not save a lastexit.sim.  Post 2.43 versions do.

Can you tell me at exactly what point in time the error occurs using 2.43z?  During startup, before or after the bots appear, etc.   Can you perhaps post a screeen shot of the error dialog?  Thanks.

error not recreated in 2.43 in 2.43z I open the prgram, says the is no settings file, I click ok and the error appears, I click ok and the program is unable to execute any commands. ie I can open the file menu and click on new simulation and nothing will happen.

Okay, gettign closer.  Sorry to keep asking questions, but unlike most bugs, this is hard to track down with your specific environment.

Try this.  Rename the intsett.ini file in the main directory of your DB install and try starting 2.43z.
