Solved Openbor crashing with no explanation.

I've made some updates to a character, added new animations, weapon commands and new palettes. Problem is, game loads cool but once i'm about to get to the Select Screen the game shuts down and there doesn't seem to be any reason according to the Log. I'm sure the problem is precisely this updated character because i removed it from the Models.txt and game worked perfectly as always.

Hmmm If there was a problem with the animations or commands then something would be shown in the logs, palettes however, I don't ever recall seeing a palette error so my guess is it's a palette issue.

If you are getting an instant shutdown without an error recorded when the character first appears or spawns, the issue is most likely with the palette and alternatepal commands. The files they point to are missing, corrupt, or you have a simple typo. Post the header section of your model text and the palette images or .act files you use.

Adding to Damon's post, if defined file for palette or alternate palette is not in indexed colors, it could cause crash with no message too.

I think i got it, my character's txt was a mess after the update. Some sprites got unrecognizable in the log after renaming them and the palette commands were misspelled as "pallete".

How fool of me. I fixed all this mess and character is working as always now.

Hello
I had a similar problem and was because: wrong script code, outdated engine.
That solved after i downloaded the latest clean engine.
