Hi all

While playtesting in the editor, I'm getting the following error messages that I don't fully understand:

DEBUGEXCEPTION : Redescribe recursion detected in T2, T3 or T4 blocks.

SCREEN LAYOUT PARSING ERROR: theme : experimental_default_theme, message : (InternalError) : too much recursion

DEBUGEXCEPTION : Class$S1182

DEBUGEXCEPTION : Class$S1182

The three rooms affected are using darkness, and usually when the rooms are dark I just get the 'redescribe recursion' error - it's when they're lit that I get the other errors.

Sometimes, instead of getting an error, it crashes and I get a blank screen, and sometimes the direction commands don't work, but most of the time the game works absolutely as it should do - I'm just confused by the error messages!

Any help with this would be much appreciated!

Hi, 

Oh dear ! You are having some issues. My apologies.

Happy to help where I can.

I did fix an issue with "DEBUGEXCEPTION : Class$S1182" yesterday, that I accidentally introduced the day before. Press F5 in the Adventuron editor to get the latest version of the code. If that didn't fix it, then I'll investigate more.

I know it's a lot to ask, but if you can provide me with the source file, and instructions on how to trigger the issues, I'll help you with a resolution ASAP.

Mail it to 

info@adventuron.io

I can promise not to redistribute the code, but I understand if you don't want to send it. I'll try testing darkness myself.

The recursion error is usually shown if you trigger a redescribe and that redescribe triggers another redescribe, and so on.

I would recommend investigating the debug mode, but it's getting too late to learn that mode now, so the best way forward is sharing the source unfortunately.

Thanks! I've made a massively cut-down version of the code limited to these rooms and it still has the same issues.  I'll email you the cut-down version.
