CRASH when SCV walks with ore chunk (with VIDEO)

Hello all!

My problem:
SCV with Custom GRP --> harvest ore --> moves --> crash

Here's a demonstration video:
https://www.bitchute.com/video/P3IjrwSMvluT/

I suspect it has sth to do with shadows. As soon as the custom SCV reaches frameset 0x33 in its animation WHILE carrying ore, it crashes. :hurr:
In images.dat, I already made 'SCV Shadow' and 'Mineral Chunk Shadow' use the same GRP as 'SCV' and 'Mineral Chunk Type 1'. Yet it still crashes.

-
I attached the mod in case someone wants to try & find the error. Made for Broodwar 1.16.1.

If you haven't already, you'll need to add powerup carry offsets for any new frames to the unit\terran\scv.loo file.



None.

Thank you SO MUCH! It worked!

I am relatively new to SC1 modding; I was not even aware of what .loo files do.
You are my hero of the day, you can't imagine how much frustration you saved me from!



IN CASE SOMEONE WITH A SIMILAR PROBLEM EVER READS THIS, HERE IS DETAILED STEP BY STEP:
1) Working with Python Modding Suite (http://www.staredit.net/topic/17400/)
2) Using PyMPQ from the Modding Suite, extract unit\terran\scv.loo from 'StarDat.mpq'
3) Using PyLO from the Modding Suite, open 'scv.loo'
4) Here you will see packs of 2 lines, 1st line reads "Frame", 2nd line is 2 numbers in brackets
5) Add as many such packs as your SCV Model has images in its GRP-File (unit\terran\scv.GRP)

I invite you to try out the map I modified. I don't have the creativity to create maps from scratch, but I do have the know-how to modify existing ones; my project is to tweak community campaigns (specifically those with errors—to make them playable.

Ultraviolet shouted: Mr.BurnLiquid actually yeah though I wasn't really saying it to narc on you. It just caught me off guard because I don't usually see it (because it's against the rules) "The avatar may not be bigger than 150x150 pixels". Kinda silly that it relies on users to be well behaved rather than just limiting the dimensions on uploads :lol:
Now that I wanted to change my avatar, the error image is showing up, haha.

Mr.BurnLiquid shouted: Ultraviolet Thanks; I'm new to the site and a Spanish speaker. I must have missed the part where it was prohibited—I'll change it now.
I invite you to try out a mission I'm modifying from *StarCraft Reversed*; I'm trying to make it more playable and challenging.
