Title: FRED2 Open Keeps crashing after 20 ships
Post by: TigerVX on July 19, 2006, 07:22:40 pm

Well, this is boggling me. Sorry for asking yet another question, but I can't figure this one out. I'm making a mission to defend a crippled Orion from NTF bombers, cruisers, and corvettes. It was at first going well, but then it crashed as I was making the bomber wing. Huh, I open, try to make the bomber wing again, crash. Well, I've tried to make another of any other ship, and any crashes it now. I don't know why this is crashing, but maybe there is some limit or something. But if there is, what am I doing wrong? I have 3 wings of damaged fighers, one Orion, Alpha Wing, and 3 NTF cruisers. I have 1:1 waypoint, and then 2:1-2:10 waypoint. I have about 2 SEXP for sending messages, another for an arrival cue, another for freeing beamers, and that's it. I don't think it has to do with limited ships, as I made a mission previously with two fleets (Literally, about 15 Destroyers and 40 Cruisers duking it out just so I could watch) without it crashing once. However, I didn't use any SEXP in that one. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I'm using the Build made of 3.6.7. The file name... Is big, a 2 followed by a lot of numbers. But I remember it's the closest thing to an official. But now with missions with alot of SEXP, I have a severe limit on ships (The last ship I can place is 20.) If anyone could help, I would really appreciate it!

Any of the 3.6.9 Release Candidates work just fine, actually.

Um... Could someone provide a link to this new FRED open releae  :D ? The way I found the 3.6.7 release was with google, and I had enough trouble that way, and I'm not finding anything about 3.6.7. So, if anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd much appreciate it!

I had the same problem. All you needed to do,before taking the 3.6.9,was to wait.When you see that FRED crashes,try to insert ships slowly. I used it and worked.Now I got the 3.6.9,thanks to Karajorma,so now I can insert ships without this kind of bug.
