Title: ITDoH5 Crashes
Post by: Androgeos Exeunt on January 18, 2009, 07:55:02 am

Hello, all. I have this little issue regarding Into the Depths of Hell 5 (ItDoH5). It seems that, when I run it on the non-debug version of r5040 for Mac, the game throws up two dialogue boxes, then crashes when attempting to load the GTD Eternity. The dialog boxes read:

Code: [Select]

Error: Can't open model file <capital2ta-01.pof>

File: /Users/cliff/fs2_open/projects/My_Xcode/../../code/model/modelread.cpp
Line 1995

Code: [Select]

Error: Verify failure: Vbuf0 != NULL


File: /Users/cliff/fs2_open/projects/My_Xcode/../../code/render/3ddraw.cpp
Line 451
If I run it on debug r5040, it crashes on the title screen, generating the attached fs2_open.log.

The GTD Eternity is not supposed to be part of ITDOH 5.  It's part of ITDOH 4.  There is not supposed to be a model file capitol2ta-01.pof in ITDOH 5.  All of the ITDOH chapters are stand alones and don't share files or tables.

:wtf:

Looks like my vp is corrupted then. Where did you get ITDoH5, Macfie?

I got it from FreeSpacemods.net.

It looks like the same one I'm using. Anyway, an overwrite can't hurt...

The GTD Eternity is still listed in the Techroom, but the mod seems to work fine so long as I don't touch the GTD Eternity's entry.

By the way, is there a spelling error in the mod.ini file? I thought it was spelled as "secondarylist", not "secondrylist". And what's with that comma before "mediavps"?

They both work. but "secondarylist" is "better".

A workaround to some old engine bug. You can remove the comma.
