Ted5 Level Problem: No purgable Blocks

Post by Benvolio »

When I enter my level for my 1 level Keen4 mod, the game crashes and displays the error message:

Code: Select all

MM_ClearBlock: No Purgable blocks
This may be because I have used three of the land types in my level, as well as nearly all the tiles in the Masked Tileset. In Keen4, no level has that variety of foreground tiles.

Should I make my level smaller (it's currently 120x120), or should I do without one of my land types?

Use fewer different tiles -- the Keen 4 engine tries to load all the tiles you have in the level into memory; I'd say the variety of tiles you're using won't fit into memory at once. (Note that the memory limitations have nothing to do with the amount of RAM or video RAM in your system).

What it should really say is "ERROR! You're using too many tiles!"

or "ERROR Level is to creative!"

or perhaps "ERROR TUIT will be created over our dead body -Id"
