Marathon Aeon question

[john_brine]

decided to give this a try. Got to "The Rise and Fall of Dugit" and barely made it to the the end. Read the terminal message, and. Crash. I've tried using the choose your own level code to go to Level 7 "Asphodel Meadows", but it just doesn't wanna work. I know, it's a beta.... still, any help would be appreciated (On Intel Mac, 10.9 if that helps any)
thanks

The same thing happens to me. The message says "Error /Users/ghs/aleph/trunk/PBProjects/../Source_Files/GameWorld/map_constructors.cpp Assertion failed: MapIndexList.size() < UINT16_MAX

I hope this helps someone troubleshoot.

Cheers

It's a problem with the map design.

Me too. I hope this is of some help:
BTW this is a great scenario. The detail in the maps is inspired. It's amusingly fun to play.

Circumstances
The crash-out occurs on (completion &) jumping from "The rise and fall of Dugit" to "Asphodel Meadows". It smoothly drops out to Windows with the two included error pop-ups one after another: #1.JPG & #2.JPG which read -

#1.JPG :

map_constructors.cpp Assertion failed: MapIndexList.size() < UNIT16_MAX

Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Program Files\Marathon\Marathon Aeon 1.10\AlephOne.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Using <CTRL><SHIFT> & New Game to select the next level - "In Out Dreams Awake" causes a crash too. <CTRL><SHIFT> & New Game on "Frameshift Mutation", the next level again, works. After that, choosing "In Out Dreams Awake" works including the "Venom" chapter splashscreen, but "Asphodel Meadows" is still a no go.

Good luck with this project!
