OK... we all despise Interplay so I thought one of you would want to look at this.
I installed the FS1 DVD on a friend's computer with a DVD-ROM so I could take screenshots of the afterburner trails. It installed fine, and FRED runs, but when I try to run FS.exe it says it's generated errors and Windows is going to close it. Here's the error log entry:

Code: [Select]

Any clues? Or could I send the FS1DVD exe to someone who could decompile it and use the afterburner trails in fs2_open?

[vadar_1]

After carefully reading over, and examining all the posibilites, I have come to a fairly useful and somewhat easy to fix conclusion:

Windows 2000 sucks, upgrade.

[Galemp]

It's not my machine. I just need someone with a DVD-ROM, and this was the best find.

[penguin]

GE, I can't offer much help here but:

1. That's FS.exe that crashed (you knew that already, I'll bet).  Not much we can do about that as we have no source.  Even retail FS2.exe is different enough from the released source code that the symbols wouldn't line up properly, so a crash log would be of limited usefulness.

2. That is some mighty odd code where it crashed.  It's reading from cr0 and cr4, which are control registers; they are inaccessible by user-level (i.e., not kernel) processes -- that's why it crashed.  Why it was trying to execute those instructions is beyond me... I wonder if something got whacked and dumped garbage into the code, as there are also some illegal instructions mixed in (the ??? in the disassembly).  Or your stack could have gotten overwritten, and popped a garbage address when exiting a subroutine (the "Return to Never Land" instruction ).

All sheer speculation, though, but that's probably as good as you're gonna get unless someone from steps in.

Since the Fault is here:

Code: [Select]

FAULT ->0043200a 0f20e0           mov     eax,cr4
perhaps it's trying to play the intro movie, but there are incompatible DVD codecs? Remember this is the DVD-ROM.
Oddly enough, if I install Silent Threat, it works fine, although it looks like $#!+. Where did I put those registry hacks... *rummage rummage*

[Zarax]

Where did you buy the FS DVD?
I lost my CDs so i'm looking for any available replacement...

[Galemp]

It came with my computer. Sorry. If you're looking for FS1, why not try the link on my page?

no - mov is a machine code instruction - it's moving the contents of  - IIRC - eax register to register cr4, which is apparently - as I know sod all about the Intel architecture - a protected register.  Those are all the machine / assembly code instructionsexecuted by the compiled code.

IIRC, eax is er... a 32 bit register.  I think it's a user register - i.e. one available for programs.   I'm not sure, because I'm just flipping through a textbook (Computer Organisation and Design, Patterson & Hennessy 1998).... and I only used it for the MIPs architecture, and the class was last semester.

What you're getting, I think, is a list of the machine code isntructions xx places before and after where the problem occurs, so the contents of physical memory can be traced (see the stack dump, which I think is the hex output from the registers(?)).. but whisch is incredibly confusing for someone as untrained as I am.........  and possibly for many pros.

Afterburner trails?

?

I think he means the nebula trails that are enables without the nebula? Afterburners do leave trails I think, but they are almost so small that they aren't noticable.

THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT. The FS1 DVD has afterburner trails-like the ones in Homeworld, except they only show up when you hit your burners. I've been trying to show you guys for months now, but the FS1 DVD isn't working!:mad:

ah, righhhhhhtttttttttttt.........

I've been getting a similar error with the source-code project release of fred2. FS2 runs fine, but fred2 crashes before the window even appears.
I'm running win2k, but I never had this problem b4 - its only happened since I REinstalled win2k (had a file system problem)
