@Preben, i have looked in the script bank folder as you said, and not one .lua file had zero bytes.
but if i open any one of the lua files with notepad++ then they look like this.

Scripts are encrypted in standalone.
I do notice though your using a custom path … perhaps there is an issue there ?

the new maps that do work with out an error, i can see and still open the scripts like normal,


yes i did use custom path, i will test it with normal path as well and report back.

Well you shouldn't unless you have exportassets=1 in your setup.ini ( export Decrypted )
If you have then that might be the issue … The new map supports that command and the old map may not ?

It’s probably that you are rebuilding the standalone into a folder that already exists with scripts already there so it can’t write the new ones and so copies them over as is.

So make sure the target scriptbank folder doesn’t exist before rebuilding a standalone then the scripts should be encrypted.

Have you tried the updated lua file Preben posted - that should work or if not give a further clue.

Cheers

Oh god ye …
You are making fresh standalones and deleting the failed one first right ?
Good thinking Cyber ..

@PCS Yes do the change to ggprecompile.lua in this post:
https://forum.game-guru.com/thread/221339?page=1#msg2624049

Then your standalone export will not make any errors , if you then .zip the generated standalone scriptbank and email it to me , im able to see what script was the cause: plemsoft@plemsoft.com

@synchromesh , i will check exportassets=1 in setup.ini
@cybernescence, yes i do make new folders before i create standalone's.
@Preben sorry i have not had the time to change ggprecompile.lua , will do as soon as i can.

synchromesh , cybernescence, and Preben thank you guys so much for helping me, i apologize as i am working long hours at my work an do not have all the time to test my maps, and then also we are having a lot of load load shedding with our electricity so it is going i bit mad this side .
i will report back soon.
Thanks again for everyone that is helping me with this problem.

YES ITS WORKING,

I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAVE CHANGE ,, but i can now Make a standalone of two of my old maps,
I have tested two maps that use to make errors and now they work i can play the first one thru and then it loads the second one without any errors. Then i Tested two more and its was still ok. YES YES .
Just hope it stays like this.
Almost feels like X-MASS

@PCS I fixed your bug , and it was in the latest update, so thats why it works now

Thank you so much Preben, so glad you are part of the GG family
