Title: Possible pilot corruption?
Post by: freespace2dotcom on March 16, 2013, 04:25:52 am: Hello.

This is my first post here. I realise the irony of my screenname on this forum, but I've been using it over the internet for ~98% as long as the game has been out and I am far too stubborn to change it. Hopefully this is not offensive to anyone. No, I don't have any connections with :v:

I am a longtime occasional lurker at these forums, though never felt the need to sign up till now.

I'd finally gotten around to playing Silent Threat: Reborn, and was enjoying it tremendously. However, after crashing on the mission "Forced Hand" getting an error message stating that Antipodes has stopped working. The game now crashes with that same message after selecting the pilot at the welcome screen.

Though I've created a brand new pilot and the game works, I really do not want to start the campaign over again. The problem pilot was created specifically for the FSport and had completed only the FS1 campaign. I'm fairly sure the pilot is corrupted because the statistics for ship kills in the barracks shows only 1 anubis, despite the correct looking primary and secondary weapon info. Is there anyway to salvage this pilot for the sake of completing the campaign?

I'm familiar enough with FRED I could *maybe* juryrig a custom campaign starting where I left off but I haven't touched it in ages (retail only) and that's more of a last resort because of spoilers, (never could stand the original ST, I know the outcome obviously, but not the details) the effort involved, and also because I can't seem to find any FS2 files.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

(Also, Great job on this reinvisioning, the original felt so stale I couldn't get past the first 3 missions before losing interest. The first missons of both, while very similar if not nearly identical, are WORLDS apart in fluidity, I find. Bravo Zulu.)

Post by: niffiwan on March 16, 2013, 04:57:14 am: You're using a Blue Planet build?
Code: [Select]
FreeSpace 2 Open version: 3.6.17.9481
Unfortunately, that particular version of FSO has a nasty red-alert bug in it and it seems that you've found it. The only way to salvage the pilot that I know of is to hex edit your pilot file (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=83354.msg1665088#msg1665088). Not much fun unfortunately. If you don't want to do that, your only option is to create a new pilot file, and perhaps try changing the campaign file so that you start from the same mission. In either case, you should also stop using that particular build and use either one of the more recent Blue Planet builds (see the stickies in their forum) or grab a recent nightly. The bug you've found will occur some time after you play any red alert mission :(

Post by: freespace2dotcom on March 16, 2013, 05:10:42 am: No, thank you so much!

I only update my files when it becomes necessary, due to lazyness and the sheer amount of things I have that get updated. The BP build was the one included in the full install of that campaign and the number was higher than any other at the time I installed it so it "obviously" must be better, right? Such was my logic.

Looks like it's update time again,

You narrowed it down for me, I have a hex editor and am not afraid to get my hands dirty. Failing that I *can* start over if necessary. Thanks!

Welcome to the forum, fs2.com. :p Thanks for your comments on the campaign. I don't really have anything to add beyond what people have already said, except to say that the FSPort team recommends the standard builds released by the SCP, the latest of which is 3.6.18 (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=83889.0). That Blue Planet build was based on code that didn't have the benefit of the full SCP release candidate testing and debugging cycle.
