setupArrayProps_R: array prop (null) is at index zero.

[TiiM]

Hi guys, I've got a problem since the last update (hl2, ep1). When I turn on the mod I get an error

Code: Select all

setupArrayProps_R: array prop (null) is at index zero.

. I use my own files in bin client.dll and server.dll. If I remove them, everythink works just fine. Anybody has an idea how to fix it? Thanks a lot.

I had the same issue earlier. In your gameinfo.txt, use these values:
SteamAppId 218
ToolsAppId 211
AdditionalContentID 420

Then restart steam and all should be good By the way, this is probably only if you are using a 2007 engine based mod. Dont know if the others even work at the moment

I'm having the same issues on my own mod, and I tried this. It doesn't work, does anyone else know a possible fix?

Edit: I am a scrub and edited the wrong gameinfo.txt. It totally works.

Thank god for this thread. I was about to post on it because my mod won't start either.

EDIT: This fix doesn't work.

[pfannkuchen_gesicht]

Have the same issue and I contacted steam support but they just say I should verify my game caches -_-
EDIT: the fix doesn't work

[Zecrah]

Why can't Valve just stop fucking everything up...

Also yeah, fix didn't work.

[Jangalomph]

I rebuilt my client.dll and it now works. Along with this "fix" added to the gameinfo.txt

[Zecrah]

Still doesn't work for me doing that.

What are your searchpaths?

[Jangalomph]

What do you mean?

EDIT: I can only run the non debug version if the game, i if i try and run a debug version from the code it self i get this set up array crap now.. not what i need

[Zecrah]

In your gameinfo.txt, something like

Code: Select all

      SearchPaths
      {
         Game            |gameinfo_path|.
         Game            |all_source_engine_paths|ep2
         Game            |all_source_engine_paths|episodic
         Game            |all_source_engine_paths|hl2
      }
   }

blah blah blah. Some people think that the order you do them makes a difference.


I tried just whacking the 'rebuild' button in VCE, anything more technical that needed to be done for you to get it to work? ^^

[Mr. Happy]

the order of search paths in gameinfo matters in many source engine builds.

do not anger the pointer arrays.

[Zecrah]

Right, nailed it.

With everything shutdown (Steam, SDK, Hammer, mod whatever) I opened my gameinfo.txt. I edited it to look like so:

Code: Select all

"GameInfo"
{
   // This is what shows up in the 'Third Party Games' area of the Steam games list.
   game      "Mod Name"
   title      "Mod Title"
   type       singleplayer_only
   developer    "Mah Mod"

   FileSystem
   {
      SteamAppId            218      // GCF for Episode 2 - 420 - 218
      ToolsAppId            211      // Tools will load this (ie: source SDK caches) to get things like materials\debug, materials\editor, etc.
      AdditionalContentID          420

      SearchPaths
      {
         Game            |gameinfo_path|.
         Game            |all_source_engine_paths|ep2
         Game            |all_source_engine_paths|episodic
         Game            |all_source_engine_paths|hl2
      }
   }
}


I saved this and closed the text editor.

I launched my mod and left it at the main menu (With my background map running).

Then, I launched the SDK.

I then went back to my gameinfo.txt and changed it to look like this.

Code: Select all

"GameInfo"
{
   // This is what shows up in the 'Third Party Games' area of the Steam games list.
   game      "Mod Name"
   title      "Mod Title"
   type       singleplayer_only
   developer    "Mah Mod"

        FileSystem
   {
      SteamAppId            420      // GCF for Episode 2 - 420 - 218
      ToolsAppId            211      // Tools will load this (ie: source SDK caches) to get things like materials\debug, materials\editor, etc.
      //AdditionalContentID          420

      SearchPaths
      {
         Game            |gameinfo_path|.
         Game            |all_source_engine_paths|ep2
         Game            |all_source_engine_paths|episodic
         Game            |all_source_engine_paths|hl2
      }
   }
}


The AdditionalContentID was uncommented, and SteamAppID changed to 420

I then happily mapped with hammer.

As long as you don't shut your mod down, (But you can freely open and close the SDK) you can continue like this. Just rinse and repeat when you finish and come back to it. It's good enough for me.

As of today I've been getting this error message too. There was an engine update last night... which surprise surprise broke stuff again.

Heres my Gameinfo.txt. I don't see what I could be doing wrong :/

Code: Select all

"GameInfo"
{
   game "For Hire"
   title "For Hire"
   type multiplayer
   developer "For Hire Team"
   icon "logo"

   FileSystem
      {
      SteamAppId 420      // First mounts the Episode 2 GCF
      //   AdditionalContentId 320      // HL2DM, ignore this
      ToolsAppId 211      // OB toolset

      SearchPaths
         {
         Game |gameinfo_path|.
         Game |all_source_engine_paths|ep2
         Game |all_source_engine_paths|episodic
         Game |all_source_engine_paths|hl2
         }
      }
}

Valve just can't get things straight ^^
