Title: Load damn you! [HELP!]
Post by: TheVirtu on January 24, 2004, 01:48:23 pm

Well, I've been working on the AoB campaign...well I was until about two days ago when I hit a little problem with one of the missions. I was in the process of adding in events and tuning the directives, so when I decide to test it out finally, guess what! I click commit...*2 minutes later* *5 minutes later* *cricket*

It can't be too many ships because I havent added any ships to the mission in a long time. It COULD be something with the events, not sure why it'd cause the mission to not function though.

Not using FSOpen, good 'ol retail.

Any suggestions?

Are you hearing the engine sound? If so then you probably screwed up on the icons table (thats what happened over at TI anyway). Will it load up in FRED? Does it happen to all missions or just this one in particular?

• Weren't you using a SEXP you never used before?
• Do you have all the recent models/maps/everything else of the project?
• Did you ask any of the other staff members to have a look at the mission you modified if it works at him?
• Are you sure that the original creator of the mission used FRED_Open(Using the save format -> FS Retail), or normal FRED?
• Save the mission once again to another file(Save as), and see if it works.
• Have a look at the tables if you own unneccesary table data(I think it might disturb the mission)
• See if the mission works in FS_Open.
• If not, save the mission to another file again using FRED_Open, with the Save format -> FreeSpace Open format.

• Weren't you using a SEXP you never used before? Nope
  
• Do you have all the recent models/maps/everything else of the project? Only thing I dont have in is the tables, but it's always worked without the tables because I havent really modified them much.
  
• Did you ask any of the other staff members to have a look at the mission you modified if it works at him? ..other staff members? *stabs Joey*
  
• Are you sure that the original creator of the mission used FRED_Open(Using the save format -> FS Retail), or normal FRED? I made it, so its retail
  
• Save the mission once again to another file(Save as), and see if it works.Tried, froze again
  
• Have a look at the tables if you own unneccesary table data(I think it might disturb the mission) Not sure why this would cause it to freeze, it's been fine before
  
• See if the mission works in FS_Open.
• If not, save the mission to another file again using FRED_Open, with the Save format -> FreeSpace Open format.
