Crashing at debriefing?
I thought I'd give the port a try, and I love what I've seen so far.  I think I have everything working except for one thing.  For some reason, mission 3 crashes whenever I jump out.  It looks like it's trying to load the debriefing, but whether I complete or fail the mission, it still crashes.  I could just skip the mission, but this will probably happen in other missions too.

I'm using the 3.6.9 build and the 3.0.4 mod.

Are you using the HTL Apollo?

Re: Crashing at debriefing?
I don't think so.  The rest of the models did seem to be the HTL ones.

Re: Crashing at debriefing?
The HTL Apollo isn't in the Media VPs, so unless you've deliberately installed it (or used ShivanSPS's new installer) you won't have it.

Re: Crashing at debriefing?
So, if I get the Apollo, that will fix this problem?  :wtf:

Where can I get it?  And it just goes in \data\models right?

Re: Crashing at debriefing?
Actually, I was asking because I used to experience some crashes with the HTL Apollo that occurred when warping out, dying, or switching to an external view.  Odd thing was, it didn't start until about the 6th mission.  Switching to the Valkyrie on those missions prevented the crash.  I then removed the HTL Apollo and everything ran fine.  I've since extracted a slightly modified HTL Apollo from Inferno:Alliance, (which had no such problems in said mod), so that might work for me.  In any case, since you don't have the HTL Apollo installed, that obviously can't be the cause of your problems, so we're back to your first post.

Re: Crashing at debriefing?
Does anyone have any ideas?  This is after I just did a fresh install of Freespace and SCP a few days ago.  Should I try a different build?

*Update* - I tried the most recent CVS build, and it still crashed.

All I have in the mod folder is the fsport and missions VPs.  Then I have the voice files, movies, and animations in their respective \data folders.

Re: Crashing at debriefing?
Have you tried a debug build?

Re: Crashing at debriefing?
Mission 3?  That would be the one where you attack the Vasudan cargo depot, right?

 
Re: Crashing at debriefing?
Yeah, that's the mission.

I tried the debug build, and I got a little different result.  Near the end of the mission, possibly right before the cruiser jumped in, I got this error message:

Warning: Couldn't fix up turret indices in spline path

Model: cruiser01.pof
Path: $path02
Vertex: 1
Turret model id:13

This probably means that the turret was not specified in the ship table(s).

Re: Crashing at debriefing?
Try running without the mediaVPs.

 
Re: Crashing at debriefing?
When I removed the standard SCP media VPs I got this message while loading the mission, but it let me continue:

I was able to play the mission through until the end, then it crashed when I jumped out.  It didn't have any debug information.  It just said "Freespace 2 has encountered a problem..." or whatever it usually says.

Re: Crashing at debriefing?
What are your command line options?  What are your system specs?

 
Re: Crashing at debriefing?
System specs:
P4 2.8 GHz
Radeon 9700
1 GB RAM

Here's what I've been launching it with:
C:\Games\FreeSpace2\fs2_open_3_6_9.exe -mod Freespace 1 -spec -glow -env -jpgtga -mipmap -nomotiondebris -2d_poof -missile_lighting

And I'm running it with OpenGL at 640 x 480 if that matters.

Re: Crashing at debriefing?
-mod Freespace 1

Could this be the problem?

why would an SCP error be considered as news? :wtf: *smacks Cobra*It's a feature.

 
Re: Crashing at debriefing?
Isn't that just telling it to use the mod in that folder?  Am I doing something wrong with that?

I'm not sure if spaces are allowed in the mod folder names, which could mean it is looking for a folder named freespace, which would explain why it's not loading some stuff.

Re: Crashing at debriefing?
Yeah, I had thought of that before you replied again and tried changing it to Freespace1, but it still crashed. 
Maybe there's a character limit for the file names...?  *runs off to check*

*edit* Nope.....

I'm really in the mood for some FS1 right now, but I don't want to install the original right now.  The updated graphics are really nice.   :confused:

Re: Crashing at debriefing?
Is this something that should be reported on Mantis?

Probably not, but it should be moved to the SCP forum, as it's probably more of a SCP problem.
