YaY.

I... the... not worky.

Unless I've missed something (and I haven't really been keeping up with this, generally just sticking to ol' 3.6), it hangs for me at the loading screen and I have to reset the computer - no alt-tab, ctrl-alt-del, Windows key, not even the power button. Is it topping itself before it gets started, or am I breaking it by being too impatient to sit through a longer loading time?

HMmmmmm, i have an almost identical system (although mine is overclocked) and it seems to work fine.....
I played through Ransom's campaign with absolutely no problem at all.
Thanks GOober.

That's odd.  It loads right away for me.  Try running it with -window and see if that makes any difference.

You might want to take a look at the FRED build...it's doing something rather odd for me. When expanding my viewpoint so I can see all ships, the lines for posistion in the Y axis and waypoints (both the lines and the purple point for the waypoint itself) get rather large and do not remain associated with the ships/waypoints they came from.

[redmenace]

I think taylor has been made aware of the situation.

That bug is about 8 months old.  IIRC, it first showed up when Kazan introduced -mod capabilities to FRED, along with a few other things.  It wasn't his additions that broke it, rather something introduced into FRED CVS before that, but after the most recent build, had resulted in these rendering issues.

Later!

Okay, well, now I don't have to restart the computer each time, but it still goes Not Responding on me, alas.

With current VP setup, debug gives me:

I hope an unoffical build will eventually work for me. Do I read it well that a new FRED is included?

[taylor]

@Blaise Russel:  Create an empty file in the data directory named "debug_filter.cfg".  This will let the debug spew include more than just info and warning messages.  It may give a more accurate showing of where the problem is hiding this way.

[Blaise Russel]

Alright, I've tried that, and it seems to go okay for a while - I see stuff whirring away in the debugspew window, normal stuff I presume, but then I get 488 lines of

Found required string [$Name: ]

Even if I try to look at it beforehand, it catches up with FS2 all at once and I get the same result.

[TopAce]

Can we get a list of changes?

[TopAce]

Build works good so far. No problems encoutnered yet.

Sounds like a bad table somewhere, or it got hung up processing the table.  Either way it went into an infinite loop.  Can you try removing your tables and/or VPs one-by-one?

[Blaise Russel]

Success!

hud_gauges table was hanging around. Removed it, and: result!

Thanks Goober, taylor! It's much appreciated... most definitely...

[Goober5000]

Excellent.  Would you mind posting the table so we can see what the problem was?

[Blaise Russel]

Okay.
