[Bug] Can't Save in Editor

[Kharnellius]

I appear to be having the same issue.  Making a vanilla map (no PRPL) and I suddenly can't save.  I can't think of anything I did that would cause any issues. 

Appreciate the help.

I can tell this much: There is an exception thrown. Did you resize the map (recently a common cause of errors :) ) or is there an errant PhalanxGun at large on the map? More than that, Virgil will have to step in and give an opinion - and he's out of pocket for the weekend.

You may want to try to re-load the save and see of loading the save file cleared up the error.

PS. In case you were wondering, I don't really know if the PhalanxGun is a legit game object (Virgil sometimes retain early prototype names in his code).

Ok, yeah I haven't added any guns or custom items.  I tried reloading earlier and the save function still wasn't working.  If I move the game forward one frame it will save, but that messes up my map so I'm trying to avoid that at all costs.  Plus I did a fair amount of work since my last save so I'm afraid to close it down, lol.

EDIT:  Could deleting an enemy mine, then re-adding it cause an issue?  I had one that was sending out energy packets already to one of the ticon guns and I deleted and re-added it, to clean up the start state of my map. 

[Karsten75]

That sounds likely. You'd have to wait for Virgil to provide an authoritative answer. :)

As I recall, the class name for "mine cannons" is PhalanxGun. If it's not been properly cleaned up, that will be the issue.

I can't recall if the last instance was fixed by a more recent game version. Searching the forum for "PhalanxGun" will find wherever that last topic is.
