Game Guru Error Prompt List

When Errors Occur

When testing your maps in Game Guru, its very likely you have once or twice come across a prompt displaying an error. Its always a good rule of thumb to understand what these errors mean and to find the source of these problems. Nothing worse than launching and distributing your game to the masses, to later than find users complaining that they have be met with an error that prevented them from enjoying the work you have spend long and hard on.

Error prompts are usually caused by Lua related scripts that have run into an issue. In some cases when these error pompts appear its likely the engine may crash or restart. So its important to identify the error and try to resolve its cause. If you are using a custom lua script, you should consult with the original script writer that made the script about the issue you encountered.

Because a lot of these errors are related to file access, its likely that some anti-virus's that are running scans in the background or giving false-positives can cause these errors to happen. To make sure to disable anti-virus and firewalls from 3rd party software that isn't Microsoft; when using Game Guru.
