No. That hasn't been an issue since the new pilot code was introduced in FSO 3.7.0.

Code: [Select]
Loading model 'YurokHTL.pof' into slot '9'
ERROR: Can't open model file <YurokHTL.pof>
There appears to be a problem with at least one model file; you may have a corrupted VP archive (unfortunately I'm not at my desktop at the moment, so I can't compare your checksums/file counts right now).

This seems to be an error in the VPs. I am investigating.

I have updated bpc-visuals1.vp with a fix. Please rerun the installer or download it manually (links can be found in the release thread)

I played for a little longer and I got a different error.
Here is the log...

BTW. Blue planet is amazing... Everything is just intriguing....
I used to played it before with my old PC, not too powerful, but it is completely different game with my new machine. It is not a game it is a experience. Great work.

Same problem, different model. If the last one was caused by bpc-visuals1.vp containing a bad model, this one could very well be, as well.

Wuh...buh...zuh...

Those assets haven't changed in years! Why would they be throwing errors now?

Good question. I think we really need to consider putting out a proper patch soon.

But how would a patch help?
These assets haven't changed, have they? Why are they suddenly causing problems? I just played through AoA on 3.7.4 using the SVN, and had no trouble...

Because I suspect some shenanigans happening with the tool I've been using to build these vp files. Completely rebuilding them from scratch would be a good idea; Meanwhile, I'll see what I can do to fix this.

Also getting Zakros.pof error on UT 2. Haven't played Act 3 in some time, but I'm very certain this error did not occur the last time. Could upload a log, but I doubt it'd be different from shadowman's.

I'm so confused. Was this error introduced by a recent patch on our part (The E's push from a few days ago?) or a build change? I get the sense The E that you are pretty sure it was a patch.

I played AoA with either 3.7.4 or July 14th nightly (I'd say the nightly) and got no errors (before downloading the patch yesterday.) Also played Act 1, and then I believe I downloaded the patch before moving to Act 2 and received no errors until UT 2.

Edit: Just tried with 3.7.4 and July 14th build, getting error on both. And I don't have the original visuals1 anymore.

From what The_E said, I think the problem is the tool he's using to create the VPs is creating corrupted VPs. So the issue was probably introduced by the BPC patch before the last patch.

I re-ran the installer today played the game and I got the same error. I'll keep waiting for a solution. Is there a temporally solution to the error, though?
