Re: Consistent crash on Her Finest Hour
BP2_Core does appear to have changed, I'll run the mission again later tomorrow to see how it goes. In the meantime, here is my fs2_open.log

Thanks again :)

Again, the game shouldn't be loading two MediaVP versions. Check your Blue Planet 2 mod.ini and make sure the secondarylist line looks exactly like this, complete with the capital letters (because Linux uses case-sensitive file names):
Code: [Select]
secondarylist = blueplanet,MediaVPs_2014;
Also, open your Blue Planet mod.ini and make sure the secondarylist line looks exactly like this:
Code: [Select]
secondarylist = MediaVPs_2014;

This file is obviously for the FreeSpace Port and thus does not belong with the main MediaVPs. Delete or move it.

If you have the 3.6.12 MediaVPs, you also need their update files. Get them here (you want the three labeled "update"): http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=70736.0

You have lots of loose files in these folders, and they could be anything. Go to each of these folders and move or delete the "data" folders.

Re: Consistent crash on Her Finest Hour
Sorry! Realised it was an outdated log. Today's attached (after a check through of the issues you outlined)

Re: Consistent crash on Her Finest Hour
Is the mission still crashing, even with your current setup? If so, are you actually triggering the crash while making the logs (which is what you're supposed to do)?

Re: Consistent crash on Her Finest Hour
Yup, it's still crashing with the same error (the log doesn't look like it's recording any part of the crash).

Re: Consistent crash on Her Finest Hour
And just to confirm, it's crashing when the Carthage surrenders?  ('coz if it is, I actually haven't played the mission all the way through to that point on the latest BP release yet)

Re: Consistent crash on Her Finest Hour
Just after the Carthage surrenders - same place as the OP, though I don't even see a flicker of the box with the choices of what to do with the Carthage

Re: Consistent crash on Her Finest Hour
I have been experiencing a similar crash caused by a script-eval SEXP calling a non-existent lua function. Could you check if FSO opened an error dialog?

 
Re: Consistent crash on Her Finest Hour
No error dialogue, it just kicks me back to desktop. Because I run FS2 from the terminal, I can see the error which caused the crash (I think) - see above.

Re: Consistent crash on Her Finest Hour
Oh, I haven't seen that. It's exactly the error I am having. I will have to check the mission files to confirm that my crash isn't caused by some old files but it seems like the latest update for BP2 doesn't include the scripting that creates the wpt variable anymore.

Ah-ha!

Italianmoose, try sticking this file in your /blueplanet2/data/tables/ folder.

<Aesaar> literary criticism is vladimir putin

<MageKing17> "There's probably a reason the code is the way it is" is a very dangerous line of thought. :P
<MageKing17> Because the "reason" often turns out to be "nobody noticed it was wrong".
(the very next day)
<MageKing17> this ****ing code did it to me again
<MageKing17> "That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'll assume it was being done for a reason."
<MageKing17> **** ME
<MageKing17> THE REASON IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID
<MageKing17> ESPECIALLY ME

<MageKing17> God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking.
<MageKing17> Everything points to "this should work fine", and yet it's clearly not working.
<MjnMixael> 2 hours later... "God damn, how did this ever work at all?!"
(...)
<MageKing17> so
<MageKing17> more than two hours
<MageKing17> but once again we have reached the inevitable conclusion
<MageKing17> How did this code ever work in the first place!?

<@The_E> Welcome to OpenGL, where standards compliance is optional, and error reporting inconsistent

<MageKing17> It was all working perfectly until I actually tried it on an actual mission.

Re: Consistent crash on Her Finest Hour
As the one who had packed up all the files for the released, I apologize for the trouble! The file is now in the proper release archives and in the installer. An update should just go very quickly for anyone else now.

 
Re: Consistent crash on Her Finest Hour
Don'lt worry, it's a very good mission! :P Thanks to all who gave advice, my install is considerably tidier now too :D
