Title: Wings causing crashes (fixed)
Post by: origin on April 29, 2009, 08:08:21 am

I set up a rather long mission a while ago and have began working on it again.  The problem is that the game crashes when ever an enemy wing arrives.  I disbanded the wing and just set the individuals to attack which worked fine.  When I went back and reformed the wing the game crashed again when they showed up.  I would prefer to have a wing because it is a little easier to setup the SEXPs with a wing.

Has anybody had a similar problem?  Thanks!

Are you using FRED2_Open (The version included with 3.6.10 Release Candidate 2 and such)?

If you are, run the debug build and see if it complains about anything. In addition post the FS2_Open log that you'll find in your data folder afterwards.

Nope I am using 3.6.9.

Well there is a debug version for that too. But you might want to also try 3.6.10. Don't save the mission in 3.6.10 FRED until you're ready to permanently make the switch though. :)

Thanks.

I found what was causing the crash.  I had made a new .pof but was using an exisiting ship from the ships.tbl.  I had put it in a .tbm but I did not deleted the secondary banks.  So I was getting an error that I had 2 secondary banks available but no secondary banks selected (or something to that effect).  Once I made the secondary banks null, I could form the ships into wings with no problem.  Kinda weird that it would not negatively affect the individual ships but once they were formed into wings it crashed the program.  Hmmm.

Thanks for your help.
