I'm not at a good computer to do the test right now, but at least I could verify that it looks like I should be able to get all the necessary files now.

What exactly will you be doing to test it? Do you mean like you have some sort of program or just to see if you get the same error

Well the first step is to download all the files, which I didn't want to do here because it's a dial-up line (I just downloaded the corrupt2.rar file to see that it would provide the missing files). So that's the main reason I haven't looked at it yet. The next step is to run it normally and see if I think of anything obvious that would cause the error when I see it with my own eyes. The next step is to look at various settings that are related to the area where the error is and see if I see anything out of order... maybe try changing a couple settings or deleting a couple objects to see if the error goes away. Finally if none of that works, I run the project in a VB6 debugging environment (run GameDev in VB6) and see if I can catch the error as it happens to see where it is in the code and exactly why it happened. And I don't have VB6 here, which is the other reason for not looking at it from here. But I will be home again Monday and I will be able to look at it then if I have time.

oh yea! figured it out! i was screwing around with the new version i was working on incase you couldnt fix it, and i got the same problem again. but this time i figured out that it was the background music causeing the error. as soon as i set it to play the music, it kept giving the error in the map editor and when i tried to play it. in hte sound manager, originally i had a midi as the music, but i deleted the midi n put an mp3 in, but never changed the media file, thats why it crashed. im about to test it now with the "corrupt" version. if you dont see an edit to this post then it worked and its all fixed; in which case, you may want to make a new error message display saying something aboutthe media file instead of tilesets or w/e it said before.
