Visual C++ Runtime library- Runtime Error!

[ANDREA]

Sorry for trouble, but all of a sudden I have this problem: one of my Celestia installation, the new MoonTour one, uses Vincent's celestia_overlay.exe, just like a couple of other Celestia installations.
But when I launch it, it doesn't start, and I receive the following error message:

Code: Select all

Error!
Visual C++ Runtime library
Runtime Error!
Program:....\celestia_overlay.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's Support Team for more information.

Obviously I checked the other installations using the same .exe file, but they worked.
It's the first time I see such an error message, so I don't know what is better to do, e.g. to use another installation, or modify something, or whatelse. I made many variations to the original installation, changing textures, ssc files, etc., but I have some doubt that this can be the cause
Help me, please!
Bye

Hi Andrea,

Please, let me know if the problem had occured the first time you ran the .exe file from this installation, or if it worked for a while and the problem happened later...

Then, are you using the last Celestia_overlay_4 version ?

Hello Vincent, happy to read you!
It worked for a while, I had many many starts without problems.
No, I'm using a previous one, probably the one from your post
NEW PATCH to display ANY overlay image during a script !!, that's named celestia_overlay.exe, without number.
I'm sure to have done some changes bwtween the last OK start and the first NO start, but as I told I modified some texture and an ssc file, nothing else, I'm almost sure.
Thank you for your patience, Vincent.
Anyway, this is not a big problem, because when you'll make available the last release including everything, i.e overlay images, sounds and infoimage-infotext, I'll reinstall all my stuff with the new patch.

As for the next celestia_patch release, I wanted to wait for Fridger and El Christou to release the new extended Hubble scheme and the new PNG galaxy templates. This way I could remove the SBbc model of the Milky way Boux and I have added to the previous celestia_patch version.
But El Christou told me this will probably take some much more time, so I might release a new celestia_patch version quite soon, without waiting for Fridger's new feature...

But since El Christou wrote me this will probably take some much more time, I'm thinking right now about releasing a new celestia_patch version without waiting for Fridger's new feature...

Vincent, I'll be happy to test it, when available.
Thank you very much.
BTW, I was thinking if there could be the possibility to launch little avi clips from a Celestia cel script, so as we actually do for images or/and sounds.
I use a series of a few images to obtain the same result, but this could be much better, including e.g. the audio.
A nonsense, or something could be done?
Just a thought, anyhow.
